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.

I was thinking like, isn't one of the reasons for trawling being bad that it destroys coral? What about boulders dropped on the coral? xd I guess maybe these boulders are for areas where there is no coral, just to fight over-fishing.. That is good.

@@zeniittinen I really doubt there is a coral reef off the coast of Cornwall. Reefs don't like cold/temperate water.

[@Rocco_Kurokawa]

​@@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.

When at this low of an altitude difference, the difference in air pressure is much lower making it only possible in roughly the last ten minutes of landing and the first few minutes of takeoff. 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?)

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.

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.

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.

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?

Chalking the tires is something they do for parking enforcement. They did it in our neighborhood a while back. A line is drawn at the base of the tire and on the asphalt below it. If those lines still line up after a certain amount of time, that indicates the vehicle has not moved and they'd get cited for having an 'abandoned' vehicle on the street.

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.

1:16 any sort of extremely loud sound underwater will change the behaviour of fish by causing them to leave the area. Such a large boulder is going to result in a very loud noise in a changing habitat and deep sea level which will result in the fish changing where they normally spend time this massively disrupt fishing that is often reliant on fish clusters being at certain locations at specific times.

5:32 chalking the tires is just to see how long someone has been parked somewhere. Say a car’s parked, and you chalk the tires, if you come back in, say 4 hours and the chalk is still there, then you know they haven’t moved

[@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.

[@frittfoxx3488]

5:06 This is because they don't want "junk cars" sitting on the side of the road because they deem it an eyesore, so the person is preventing their neighbors from being ticketed for their cars not moving, since the chalk on the ground and tires would still be lined up if the car had not been moved recently :3

[@valerierodger]

It's very rarely has anything to do with junk cars. It's almost always because it is in an area with parking restrictions and/or limited parking availability

[@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.

[@sublimationman]

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.

For the boulder question Damien had, it's to interrupt trawlers and those who use large nets that drag across the ground, which destroys ecosystems. In fact, coral reefs are demolished due to them. The boulders get caught in the net, damaging the net, which is fairly expensive to fix. :)

1:20 trawlers drag big nets along the bottom of the river/bay/lake bed to catch fish. it's really hard to do if there's a bunch of giant rocks at the bottom. bonus points: sometimes the boulders are so big that the nets break and then the trawlers have to spend hundreds of dollars for another one.
