"RRS Boat" made me laugh for some reason.

My suggestion is RRS Boatylicious.

Failboat would be good enough.

Oh God I laughed so hard at that.

200 mil for a boat? Perhaps it is not the public that is having an issue with taking the matter seriously.

That doesn't seem that much for something that big as it is a arctic research vessel.

Hell the newest one from the states costs 200 million and is only 80 meters and can carry 26 scientists while this one is 128 meters long and can hold 90 of them.

40% of suckling giraffes' milk comes from a female other than it's mother. I know what you're thinking. So the f*** what. It's important because it's an excuse to post this pic.

This must really be from the dark ages of the Internet because any guy who can't afford some basic wireless surveillance gear doesn't deserved to be call a perv. That term is reserved for those pursue their craft with stealth and ingenuity. Window peeping is to perversion as using an abacus is to computing.

Let go of the past. Just . . . let . . . go.

One of our neighbors' kids apparently used to do that. We're told he was chased away from peeping in their daughter's window a couple times. He's now serving 20 years for possession of child porn.

Think that's scary?

Airplane parts including entire engines are engineered with a 10% safety factor. Found this out through a co-worker that helped design engines at Pratt.

Meaning that if a 1000 pound force is calculated, the raw materials will fail at 1101 pounds by design. Enjoy your flight! Having said that, the amount of engineering and testing that is done is also amazing. Apparently Pratt had to scrap an entire engine and start from scratch after one failed on the test stand unexpectedly. That is, they had to rewrite the procedure on how to design an engine after doing root cause analysis. The failure was that early in the process

We discussed that long ago already. It's not "duct tape", some type of insanely expensive specialty tape that is used TO TEMPORARILY FIX non-critical parts of an aircraft until it can actually be fixed.

What would be the alternative, say, if there is a hole somewhere in the fuselage in a non-critical section? Just leave it?

It would be so cool if that were a single creature with one head and 20 legs arranged all around it.

Centipedes are linear. That photo suggests a large primary body with neck and head surrounded all around by smaller secondary bodies, each with four legs, and joined to the central body by the necks.

Yeah, something like that. With more legs.
