Looks like FLIP is getting retired soon.

Interesting piece of engineering.

Just caught a local oyster farm using this "FlipFarm" system from New Zealand. It's one of those "Better Mousetrap" innovations. I've watched commercial oysters farming crews manually flip a string of cages and it takes 2-3 folks a good 30 minutes to flip a 75 yd string. This puppy will do it in 5 min with a single person!!

Technology aside, I'm still fond of the old fashioned, muck around in the mud and find the natural oysters for free school of oystering...

Yes, I know it's fake, but I just thought this was so cool!

Is that the same air wing that's on station on Christmas Eve?

Not sure if this belongs here or the space thread, but I found this thread first, so here it is:

Where was this thing before I retired. Commuting to and from the city would have been a cinch. I can just see the traffic jams parting like the Red Sea

I don't know if this is amazing or obscene. So I put it here.

State of the art in 1914, USS Texas was luckily in Casco Bay on R&R Dec 7th.
She needs refitting in Galveston to remain afloat, below is the tow.

They've finally got her in drydock for the 1st time in 32 years.

The 1,574th and last Boeing 747 rolls off the production line...

You go Elon! Funny how his Twitter purchase made him a pariah after saving the planet with his Tesla cars...
