The cool thing about that tattooist's wife, was that in 1907 nobody would see those tattoos, unless she was completely naked.

To be fair Thailand's carrier is a V/STOL (vertical/short takeoff and landing) carrier mostly used for launching helicopters and is about->
PhillipSemenHoffmore
I don't understand how that random bit of information changes the picture? Thailand still considers it their only aircraft carrier.
gtaomg
I guess he's referring to the smaller size. The US' is larger because it is used for jets, whereas NZ's is only used for V/STOL and helis.
WavePunk
Dude we're talking about American war machines, we actively try to be unfair.
Pullout69
Only 1 1/5th the displacement.
27yoUGLYvirgin
Alright, but it's still a lot smaller? I don't care about either of those ships but the picture just shows the sizes, nothing else.
MagnorCriol
That's pretty interesting actually. Is there a tactical reason Thailand mostly has V/STOL stuff or is it just a budget thing or something?
eggmuffin
Both, I imagine. It's a relatively small landmass with limited need for a mobile air field.
AMediocreSubstituteForDave
Probably budget. Carrier launchable jets are expensive to buy and maintain. Also the carrier has to be bigger (and more expensive)
OnlyManInSpace
The newest ones the US have made have cost $12.7 billion
Pullout69
Budget obviously. But also practicality. It's ideal for launching rescue and reconnaissance helicopters, and drones at a much lower cost.
MagnorCriol
They don't have / need as expansive an air force as the US, so they don't need carriers like ours. Makes sense.
PhillipSemenHoffmore
Aircraft carriers are very expensive. The US has 10, second place has 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_carriers_by_country
JordiRebur
in the wikipedia list, japanese carriers.. its not missed the submariine jap. carrier? there were 2, able to deploy 2 airplanes each one,no?
MagnorCriol
I knew the carriers themselves were expensive; I was thinking more about the price of what the carrier was carrying. It would make sense /1
MagnorCriol
to me if a force of a handful of V/STOL craft was more cost-effective than a larger force of traditional jets, though I could be dumb. /2

He softened on his extreme views, and the family considered it blasphemy and ousted him.

My first thought honest. Give them fucking parachutes to avoid shit like that. I cant imagine.
TacticusThrowaway
Parachutes take both training and space to use effectively.
alexburgers
it would be too heavy to carry up the stairs, certainly when added to the tools they need to bring. AFAIK, it has an escape hatch (1/2)
JustARichard
Maybe make a hatch inside the turbines
alexburgers
But the escape hatch was on the bottom of the wind turbine, on the other side of the fire, they couldn't reach it. :( (2/2)
PaperWingsCrumple
Theres gotta be some kinda solution :/

Used to work for a wind power company, safety training includes repelling down from the gondola, lines are at the back though

I'm pretty sure they already do, but the escape hatch + emergency rope was at the bottom of the generator pod, on the other side of the fire
jediprincess
or parachutes??
Treblaine
"well, I guess this is as good a time as any to learn to base-jump"
flyingsolow
That would be the sensible reaction.
ComeJoinTheMurder
They did back then but that companies policy was to keep them behind the generators which is where that fire started at.
krankenwagen
Why can't they wear them whenever they're up there?
ComeJoinTheMurder
they can if they want to but they weigh about 60 pounds, very bulky, and very awkward.
itsyaboyfman
No I live a few miles from where it happend and they jumped to death:,(
Treblaine
My D&D/PF sessions have generated rule #1: Always Bring Rope. So many disasters averted by coil of rope.
SoOddICantEven
Not always any good without a grappling hook, though.
Treblaine
True, but remember you can loop an end into a lasso as an improv-attacher. Always. Bring. Rope.
exurbcowboy
The average wind turbine used for utility production is around 100 meters tall . That's around 330 feet
Treblaine
Yup, and I expect each of my party members to bring at least 100ft of rope. Combine together. Or if only one, swing below fire onto ladder.
SuperBaconMan
Most companies in the US require the use of a TracTel. On one end there is a hook and a gear box and at the other a hook. If you jump 1/2
SuperBaconMan
Off you will hit the ground no harder than if you jumped off of a curb.
swimbikerunrepeatswimbikerunrepeatswimbiwhatwasidoing
The average drop speed is like 10ft/sec. It's a leisurely ride down and easy landing

Tractel is the name of a manufacturer. The product category you're referring to is "emergency decent device."

TheBlondSwede
I can't imagine what kind of device could have rescued them!? What was it? A jetpack? A teleporter?
ComeJoinTheMurder
Most companies use a Tractel, its a rope that goes through a gear ratio of 9/1 so it slows them down.
Snarknado4
hmm how could you get down from a high place? a rope? a ladder? a rope ladder? nah. definitely a teleporter!

*One fell, he didn't do it on purpose. They were with 4 though. 1 escaped, 1 survived, 1 fell and 1 was caught by the fire.
peridotstar
I wonder how the survivor did it, if the two men in the picture both passed..I don't think i'd have chosen to stay and be burned..poor men
YaGunnersYa
One in the picture survived. It isn't sure how he did it though.

Fuck man...
CormacLynch
Did the escapee get away during the fire and the survivor managed to stay alive?
YaGunnersYa
Yeah, he was lower than the fire when it broke out. The survivor was found in the cabin when the fire stopped.
Yoshiru
So.. 2 survived?
IVlad
no he was the same guy and the other one fell into the fire, not sure what happened to the other 4

Plot twist: Army guy dumps her... Only likes fat chicks.

Most Likely Twist: Lost the weight banging every non deployed soldier on the base.

This happened to my older sister. She had weight loss surgery while he was deployed and lost 200lbs. Turns out he was into big chicks.

Psychethos
Yeah that's a pretty legitimate concern. One of my good friends is pretty similar in body to how she looked in the first pic, her 1/2
Psychethos
boyfriend would be quite sad if she lost all the weight. It would be similar to him as for most guys if a thin girl gained weight. 2/2

I'm in the processes of losing a lot of weight(-110lbs so far) and my boyfriend always says he's happy but not to go extreme with it.
StartedMakingTrouble
Wasn't this pretty much the premise of a recent BuzzFeed video?
DrDresDog
You also have to realize women gain weight from childbirth, so you have no idea what she was like before.
DarthReznor
I scrolled sown specifically to find this comment. It was the first thought I had when I saw that pic, knew I couldn't be the only one. +1
zbaerenlovesme
AS someone who had weight loss surgery when my husband was in the army, I've heard a lot of stories that go just like that.
ErogenousEnigma
Same exact thought. She wasn't just chubby, she was fat(no one flip your shit, it's an adjective, I do not mean it negatively).
TowelRod
Just finished saying this to my SO! +1 wouldn't that be hilarious?
losemysparkle
I dunno, I'm chubby and while my SO likes me as I am he'd support me if I decided to drop some weight too
thatwilldopig
The guys I've dated that actually care about me say that whatever makes me happy is good for them.
lyricallove
My husband thinks I'm beautiful the way I am. When we started dating 6 years ago I was overweight, but the depression and anxiety 1/?
lyricallove
hit about 2 years in and I became a hermit. I'm significantly even more overweight now. He wants me to lose weight to be healthy 2/3
lyricallove
but not because he'll love me better. It's nice knowing that someone can love you even at your worst. 3/3

I feel like you don't marry someone who has 100lb to lose unless you're into chubby chicks...
insertcleverusername1
Shotgun wedding?
xukaniz
I have thoughts about this in regards to my girlfriend. I love her but her weight is definitely taking a toll...
iDrinkDrano
Have you offered to work out with her and do walks and stuff? That's what we're doing.
Vaporjack
Or unless you're desperate. Not saying that about that guy, but happens.
Psychethos
Yeah, I think most people are pretty physically into how their partners looked when they first met. Otherwise why would they get together?
jessagirlintheworld
Or he's not a superficial person and loved her for who she was on the inside.
Yoshiru
My wife is and always has been a few above what "I'd prefer" but guess what? It's no big deal and people need to chill their shit

Zodi
three possibilities. 1. she breaks up, 2. she looses weight, 3. she just gets upset and gains a little more.
EngravedToaster
Slowly start making small lifestyle changes and motivate her to do them with you. Better nutrition, short walks, little hikes.
flapperfemmefatale
This. My SO pisses me off when he gets on me about my weight, but he expects me me to do things alone.

Are you dating my ex?
