Hi Doug.

I have not seen the documentary but got my information from a research paper. You might find it interesting. Who did the documentary?

Cheers,
Martin

Hi SimpleSailor
Re "They have had similar success using green LED lamps attached to the nets."
As far as I remember from the docu; This is to make the nets visible to birds, to reduce the number of diving birds getting caught in the nets.
It has no known effect on numbers of unintended whale & dolphin catches.
Ciao, Doug😎

Another 'shout out' for National Geographic documentaries😉

Nick, "ya learn summat new every day" - so true.. And there are days when you simply just have to guess!!

Well ya learn summat new every day! Incidentally I got it wrong..

Answer has now come up!
Beam me up Scotty!
Roy

System has gone wrong today and what a weird question too! I am down as having answered already but still have 1 question unanswered. Never found out what the answer is as well.
Roy

Interesting question today, which I managed to get right. On the subject of Gillnets which probably should be banned in favour of other fishing gear. They have had similar success using green LED lamps attached to the nets.

If they have any colour co-ordination, they will be the same black as all the other black boxes; ... ORANGE! 🤔

I think water ingress is a leak that you can't see, while a leak is water ingress you can see.

When reporting Navy style these technicalities are important. Although water ingress might be a touch terminal and go unreported.

As a point of interest do submarines have airplane style black-boxes recording on-board events? I wonder what colour black the Navy uses?

Roy

Yes, water ingress will get you everytime. Is that the same as a leak?

Hard question today. It took a while to completely read the question then to choose an answer. Got it correct😊

I am starting to feel like the crew of DAS BOOT, slowing rising up. . .

A whole row Bryan?😮
Are you building a harbour for your boats?
Green sounds nice.
Pics pics pics please😉
Cheers, Doug😎

I'm pretty happy with my row of green ones

Yes Roy I had twigged that when they appeared.
New results appear at far left, old ones eventually drop off the far right.
grey dashes indicate questions not answered.

😎

All I can say to you Bryan is - MULBERRY😉

😎

I thought they were just random lines until I read your explanation of the coding

Hi all has anyone noticed the interrupted lines under each name? They show a red colour to indicate wrong answers, and when they occured out of the 30 dashes that the scores are calculated on. If you hold your cursor on a dash it will give you a date.

You can see when your score will lose a wrong answer and so predict a %, assuming you get the current answer right.
Doug, you have a fortnight to wait!
Roy

Answer in the question again...

Yay my knowledge of d day helped with today's question

I do not agree with todays answer as far as I remember the “correct” answer applies to waves hitting shallower water. Squat calculations are based on Bernoullis Theorem
But this is only my humble opinion🤔

Just for grins…on our refrigerator.
😉

Hi Doug as I do not care much about woke etc or P.C. I reckon that A.I. is a woman!

I have only come across one woman who knew where she was at any one time otherwise all were either lost, or terminally dependent. Mind you the the one I am referring to also believed in the power of crystals and pyramid shape placed over a razor to keep it sharp. An excellent dancer, but impossible to live with.

By the way I have a personal delight in ending a sentence with a preposition! As Churchill once said to a critic. "Up with which I will not put"

Sorry to our foreign friends but it is English like what I wrote. (quote Ernie W)

Roy

The answer was in the question...

Sorry, my wife was on the P/C, so I was 45 minutes. before I could answer the question.

AI loosing his bearings🙄
Or his marbles?

😎

Hi Doug Just ranting in the wrong spot.
Rick

Hi Rick, good to hear from you👍How ya doing?

What prompted your odd post?

Cheers, Doug😎

I may be wrong and old but I remember when I could disagree with you and not get insulted or called an offensive
name.
We need to stand up to BULLIES call them out so every one can see them.
Rick

"A trireme (/ˈtraɪriːm/ TRY-reem; from Latin trirēmis 'with three banks of oars'; cf. Ancient Greek: τριήρης, romanized: triḗrēs[2],  'three-rower')"

😎

Titanic must still be the theme as I really am getting that sinking feeling.🐙

Trireme, Greek for three rowers or oars😊

Hi Doug it was an English sort of remark, saying he must be English as a complement, due to the clarity of his written word.

It seems the questions are the real catches as far as idiomatic English is concerned and not always easy to translate from what Alessandro comments.

As there is a connection with A.I. I have found 'stories' written by an A.I. source where there is over description of feelings and surroundings but very little substance to the narrative. OTT is my response and I stop reading.

I think this use of A.I. may be easy to see but the 'fake news' stories are a definite worry.
There are so many stories of the latest Trump cock-up or gaff that I have stopped even reading them. The fact they exist is concerning as the future may be full of this kind of rhetoric about anyone targetted especially for future elections and governments.

We have already seen in the UK that a carefully directed assault on a selected group can influence a referendom. Witness the Brexit voting but more to the point the foolishness of the then Prime Minister Cameron in not setting out parameters at say 60 : 40 for any change, previous voting on the subject had been 70 :30. Some of those in power are proud of their lack of understanding of maths.

I think it is sad in the USA that elections have often less than a 2% difference between the the two parties, it is so divisive. Like in the school play ground "if you are not with us you must be against us".

A.I. has some unexpected consequences which are coming to the fore. The future could well be a dodgy place to be!

Roy

Hi Roy.
Re "Mike! You are not English and living abroad?!!!!!"
A few of us English have also managed that feat.
Despite Brexit chaos😠
Cheerio, Tschüss, Ciao - Arrivederci, Adieu - Au revoir, Adiós, Viszontlátásra, DaH jImej😎

Tri - reme?
How's your Latin?😉

😎

I understand you Mike, but at least you understand English.
I have to rely on the translator (maybe because I'm also a bit lazy) and the translations are sometimes bizarre.
The last question I got wrong in the "Question of the Day" I didn't understand at all, due to some poorly translated key terms. I gave up and tried randomly, making a mistake.
This time I was more tenacious and in the end I understood the meaning. Consider that he translated "to be nested" as "nidificare" which in Italian means to make little ones, or to make bird's nests.
In short, before I got to understand the question well I imagined that on some boats birds nested or could keep the fish they caught alive.
This also happens to me with some questions on the forum.

Hello Mike your English is fine, and after all you are a Commodore in the Swiss Navy now!😊😊😊😊
Roy

Hello Roy!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!

I'm a real man of the Swiss mountains!
and I speak the cool Swiss German!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
Best hobbyist greetings,
Michel-C.

Mike! You are not English and living abroad?!!!!!

regards
Roy

Watch again, I've had enough and my English is bad too . . .
I'd rather tinker than get annoyed . .

Michel-C.

I never tire of “Captains Courageous” or John Houston’s “Moby Dick.”
👍🏻😉

Ah! Captains Courageous, one of my favourite films. It is almost a documentary on the Grand Banks fishing boats. Get over the first part but it is the lead up to the way the story goes. The plot is good too.

The dories are stacked and launched on the fishing grounds where they line-fish for cod. Since those days of over-fishing the fish left represent just 2% of what there were. The fishing boat is Were Here in the film and there are dastardly deeds and competition but the filming is terrific.

If you have not seen it then do it now! Not the later Disney re-make, that is rubbish.
Roy

There's nothing like a good old fashioned flat bottomed Banks Dory!

Paging Mr. Tracey, Mr. Spencer Tracey
😉

I am not allowed to miss this question. In the video, the dories are on deck in the first few seconds. BLUENOSE has a white stripe at waterline.

Like I said ...
"Read the question and the answers carefully" Gents & Gals😉
Oh! I see you all are👍

Anybody remember Duplex craft? Harvey Middleton if I remember, he got involved with a larger company but things did not go so well.
They made the 575 and the 590 plastic sailing yachts. But they also made a trimaran, I have one and it sails very fast but the weak point is the cross members linking the outer hulls to the central hull.
I have repaired the trimaran 3 times now, they must flex and the glue joint gives way.

See photos of Trimaran and my 575 (length in mms). All plastic models and solvent used for 'glueing'. They pre-date 3D printing and I keep them out of the sun due to UV light affecting the ABS plastic.
Roy

3 out of 3 so far. The extra clue helped😊

Hi Boatshed,
Tip: Read the question and the answers carefully, two or more times until the penny drops.
Such as: which word or words appear both in the question AND ONE of the answers💡
This often precludes an intimate knowledge of the core subject matter😉
Today was pretty obvious by elimination anyway.
Happy guessing, cheers, Doug😎
