What if in the middle of the voyage one or more crew members do realize they are fed up of him?

My experience from long voyages at sea says that too strong personalities of any kind could get the angry focus of disappointed people, rather easily.

It's easy to have people, unable to deal with their own, tending to mess with others' life as a way to escape.

Every group immersed in some kind of routine, always has: a lawyer, a lazy and a funny guy. And very frequently, one who knows everything.

My experience from months at sea is much the same, people get locked into daily routines and don't like continuous clowning that interrupts those routines. Organised events with humor and laughter that break the routine are better.

I would just tell them, don't make airlock jokes.

but sometimes it's needed when a crew member gets to be a pain.

I never had to spend long periods at sea but I have been the skipper on many weekend and 2 week excursions. We would have a meeting before every trip. For any newbies, I would give them my speech. I would tell them, you need to be able to get along with people and not let any flaws they may have get to you. Understand that the furthest away you will be able to get from someone on a 12 meter boat is 12 meters.

For most of people once you finish you daily work, you usually go home. When aboard, when you finish your watch you just go to your cabin.

I use to say that eventually, you bring your work to your home but, after signing on, you have your home where you work.

Bruno Ganz, the Swiss actor who played Adolf Hitler in the film Downfall, has died in Zurich at the age of 77, his agent said on Saturday.
RIP

 

Wow. He was terrific in that and launched a thousand internet memes to boot.

On a personal note, I am off to my cousin's funeral tomorrow. She died from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy which looks like onset-Parkinson's but eats your brain and instead of 10-15 years to live, you get about nothin'. She was one of those special people that always made you happy to be alive when you were with her. We're sorting photos of her and there aren't any that don't have her surrounded by friends, family, children and grandchildren - all with big grins. RIP Mary.

Enjoy every day, hear?

May he rest in turmoil. For eternity.

 

Interesting new technology, I hope it pans out:

“Thermal batteries today are where electrical batteries were a century ago,”

The alleged capacity is interesting. I wonder how it compares to similar existing technology.

 

May he rest in turmoil. For eternity.

What did he do exactly other than present ideas? We should not be fearful of ideas no matter how distasteful.

There are a LONG list of people that deserve to be on the turmoil list way ahead of Marx.

New? It's just a phase-change material. Examples abound (you can buy an "ice" pack in your supermarket).

There is no chemical energy involved. Energy densities will never be near what can be achieved with batteries -- just as batteries will never achieve the energy density of hydrocarbon based fuels.

All this solar-storage crap is just a pipe dream. Hydrocarbon, hydroelectric, nuclear, and geothermal (where applicable). There really are no other cost-effective -- and reliable -- alternatives.

Didn't someone say 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it'?

Oh? Who else is responsible for > 100M deaths in the 20th century (and counting into the 21st...).

At a minimum, I think he is deserving of obscurity. Not a monument or library.

That was the people that implemented his ideas and all of the fools that followed them thinking they had the answer.

But I agree. I am not sure if he deserves a monument. Bu then again if it was paid for by the family or private funds then there is little anyone can do about it. And vandalism should not be on the short list of what can be done.

 

A very unusual hobby for a teenager:

In her spare time, 16-year-old Sydney Langton has a singular passion: stuffing birds and foxes and any other roadkill that comes her way.

 

That was the people that implemented his ideas and all of the fools that followed them thinking they had the answer.

So...what went wrong? The ideas, or the implementation?

Fair enough. He was free to think and write and even advocate for his ideas, as he should have been. There will always be apostles of evil and it's up to the rest of us to ignore, identify and reject evil.

We should not be fearful of ideas no matter how distasteful.

Here I must disagree. Ideas can be dangerous – and I would put up Marx as the poster child for that position – and it would not be prudent to have no fear of them.

Marx was free to spew his ideas, but he is not free of historical judgment of them. History has shown him and his ideas to be one of the great monsters of human history. I don't advocate for vandalism of his grave (what good will that do?) but a shrine or memorial is inappropriate. We're tearing down memorials to Civil War soldiers these days, if the soldiers fought for the 'wrong' side. By that logic, Marx's memorial should be wiped off the earth.

Hola @nsaspook,

I cannot understand what he says (I am close to deaf) and for years, had difficulty to understand spoken foreign languages. A problem for my job, really.

Could you just give a VERY simple explanation of what he did not like? Just two sentences for me to understand if that is not too much to ask you.

He seems serious about it... and not happy.

Gracias.
