For the green peace post, I assume the industrial fishing uses nets that drag along the bottom of the ocean to scoop up fish, and the boulders get in the way

[@MrStealYourBalls]

Yeah but the funny thing is that it had absolutely zero effect on anything, but hey any climate protestor is obviously on the more retarded side of things

[@phantom_paladin1848]

Correct, the nets get caught on the boulders, causing a great deal of damage to the nets

[@SuddenFool]

Yeah the net is dragged across the ocean floor and the boulder will prevent them from retrieving the net or cage. What most don't know is how this type of over fishing is destroying coral reefs across the world hereby destroying eco systems that have massive effects on the rest of the worlds oceans.

[@Xemaredux]

For the boulders stopping fishing thing: Trawl nets require open seafloor without obstructions. Large obstructions like boulders in an area popular for trawl net fishing break the nets and provide places for sealife to hide. It's actually a very smart and eco-friendly method, as generally the wildlife just adapts around the boulders without issue.

​@@zeniittinen Also you shouldn't compare a few 1x2m rocks falling one time to the ocean floor to ground nets 500m wide getting pulled like 10 or 20 Kilometers over the ground, regularly, destroying everything in the way. Those rocks have literally 0.0000001% impact on ocean live compared to those nets. And if it stops the fishers from fishing there because they know (maybe after first or second time) they gonna loose their nets there, it helps creating a safe zone for fish populations to recover.

Just a PSA to prevent any future panic attacks on flights. While mid-air, you have nothing to fear when someone starts freaking out and tries to open the door. It would take an ungodly level of physical strength to push back against the pressure of the wind force keeping the door shut. The windows could theoretically be broken with some type of weapon. Thought it would be several layers that would need to be broken. Should this happen on your flight, you are safe to look at them like they're crazy instead of panicking while the flight attendants secure the problematic passenger

Fatalities and catastrophic interference are also dramatically less likely under the same conditions resulting in minor injuries from wind force knocking luggage out (so keep your carry-on light?)

[@psychoairsoft7146]

​@@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI they dont, but if it's an apartment parking lot than all of those cars are now on private-property and can be practically towed on a whim. as for the cars parked on the street, a lot of landlords are tyrants who hate not being in control of things like where people can park or not, so they do the chalking thing to be able to determine if a vehicle has been left there long enough to count as "abandoned" according to city ordinance/laws, giving them the right to call to have it towed either by the City or by a private towing company. a lot of them use private towing companies because it makes it easy to establish a towing scam/racket for some extra money for both parties basically the scam i've seen before in one of my previous apartments was: the landlord determines a vehicle has been sitting long enough to be towed, calls a tow company they have a deal with. car gets towed and they charge the car's owner an exorbitant towing and return fee to get their car back. apartment owner gets a kickback from the towing company for the heads-up on the easy money tow. even faster and leaner version of this scam is the Tire-Booting scam, where the apartment owner just boots "unauthorized vehicles" on his parking/property (and half the time they dont even OWN the property where the vehicle is kept) and refuses to unlock it for the car owner unless they get cash upfront. the legality of both of these scams varies greatly, but factor in the fact that most cops can't be bothered to deal with "small time" crap like this in the inner-cities and people get away with it for literally YEARS, and often just get told to cut it out as a punishment when they do get noticed because again, cops cant be bothered.

One day, all of a sudden, several men in black suits and the principal come into his classroom while he was teaching, and dragged the student out.

Apparently, both his parents worked in a hospital, where he hacked into the system, and erased several people's medical debt. And, because he was a minor, all he had to do was 1. Show them how he did it, and 2. Undo what he did, and he basically got off scott free.

1:25 damien, deep sea industrial fishing has many line types they can use. depending on location boulders can do many things: 1. provide locations for the schools to escape to. 2. prevent dredging nets, gill nets, and long line net baiting. many marine rescue efforts deal with untangling protected marine life suffering from harmful/mortal net entanglement. 3. depending on location to shore they can be a risk of impact/rudder damage and hull breeching. this is why all boats are calculated to have a certain depth they can operate in without risk of being stranded.

1:09 I took an oceanography course so I can *kinda* explain this, but feel free to ask other questions about oceanography/correct anything I say here that might be wrong- I think by 'deep fishing' they mean trawling, which is fishing by dragging a net on the ocean floor to catch fish that live there and is one of the popular methods for industrial fishing. The issue is that this damages a lot of the ocean floor's ecosystem since the weights that keep the net at the bottom drag along the ground. So maybe the boulders are meant to get the nets caught on them and rip them so less boats fish there, preventing damage to that region of sea floor?

Bit late, but here in Germany we do have something called "Bebauungsplan" which dictates what kind of stuff you can have or must have on your property. This does mean you can get in trouble for small things like in the worst case having a roof with the wrong color, but it's generally there so that nobody can decide to build a skyscraper blocking the view to a lake or build stuff that would definitively annoy neighbors or make the city so ugly that it impacts tourism. So before you buy a property, you should defiitively check, if what you wnat to build there, can be build there (you can ask for execptions but I wouldn't count on it) and if the city decides to make new "Bebeauungspläne", to see if it's worth trying to weigh in on it.

[@emilyrobinson6080]

Im sure its been explained before, but if not: the boulders dropped off Cornwall to disrupt fishing are there because many industrial fishing operations use nets that reach all the way down to the bottom and drag along open, sandy "prairie" to grab whatever it can. this results in many creatures being killed and ecosystems disrupted, the idea with the boulders is to create hazards that would snag or damage nets, thereby discouraging fishing in that area. Whether or not it works that well or not, I couldnt say.

[@avaalbrecht2818]

Industrial fishing has a few common net types that are used and basically all of them suck for their own reason. Deep fishing relies on drag nets which drag along the bottom then get scooped up, hence the name. If you got an +100lb. rock in your net, you're not gonna get very far with it in there and you're certainly not gonna be able to get it up. The only side affect is folks will probably just start cutting off the nets that get caught, leaving them in the ocean, but the boulders won't let the net go far so it can probably get cleaned up as long as the boulder locations are marked.

[@foogod4237]

4:58 Most jurisdictions have a limit on how long cars can be parked in the same spot the street without being moved, after which you can call the city to complain and they can be towed away. This is ostensibly to prevent problems with people abandoning cars by the side of the road, using it as long-term parking for vehicles that don't even belong to anyone in the neighborhood, or taking up valuable parking spots with vehicles that don't even run, etc. However, in practice it's often used more to harass people who have cars that some neighbor thinks are an "eyesore".. If it's an area where street parking is tight, and there are a lot of cars parked there that aren't people's primary vehicles, or aren't even functional, then this might actually be legitimate, but more likely it's just some busybody trying to "improve property values" by trying to tow away all the "unsavory" residents' vehicles instead.

[@knifeyonline]

1:12 because they drag a net over the bottom of the ocean floor. 5:25 it's what parking inspectors use to do. They chalk the tire and the curb, and if they still line up after 2 hours (or whatever the parking limit is) the car hasn't moved so they write you a ticket.

Commercial fishing is done with huge drag nets (like football field size nets (very expensive)) they drag them on the bottom and large boulders would destroy the nets (holes or tear them off the boat) and so it can slow or stop that type of fishing in that area.

[@foogod4237]

7:00 The problem with this is that he's probably shooting the gun into the air. Nobody thinks about what happens to the bullets that go into the air, but where do you think they actually go? Into space? Nope, they're nowhere near fast enough for that. So they go way up into the air a ways, and then turn around, and just end up coming _right back down again_ somewhere else (maybe a few blocks over), often with about the same velocity as when they left the gun. That means you've got a random bullet coming straight down out of the sky who knows where, maybe even hitting a person (maybe even going through somebody's roof first). There are cases where completely random, innocent people have actually been *shot and killed* this way. It's not that frequent, but it does happen. Shooting guns into the air is _not_ a safe or responsible thing to do, for any reason. You could actually end up killing somebody in the process.

[@fuzzyfox6719]

That good sir is not how physics works. A bullet shot straight into the air comes back as harmless as a coin dropped off a skyscraper. The simply explanation is that in order to fall back it has to lose the velocity that's propelling it up. This usually happens due to drag caused by friction with the air and gravity. The reason they don't like people shooting into the air and why it's so dangerous is because when people shoot into the air they often don't aim high enough and the bullet arcs like an arrow instead of going straight up where it will lose all its energy before impact.

[@JonnL]

He's probably just shooting blanks

[@ellabennett6091]

Noted. Straight into the ground instead.

[@ecummins8650]

Tell that to my friend who was standing next to her car when a bullet buried itself into the metal roof of her car. A couple of feet in the other direction it would have buried itself into her brain.
