We have a bit over hundred thousand lakes, a ton of ponds and swamps everywhere. So once the weather is warm enough, basically the whole country becomes a breeding pool for those little bastards.
This is anecdotal, hearsay and probably not true, but a digger driver once told me that the reason theres so many chinese diggers and other heavy equipment over here these days is that if you are a chinese company and want to buy 1 western machine, you need to buy 10 locally manufactured ones and keep them for x amount of years.
So according to this dude the chinese companies would buy like a 100 local diggers and 10 western ones, park the locally produced ones in a storage until the x amount of years have passed and then sell them to the west.
Again, this was according to just some dude who digs holes in the ground. No idea if its actually true, if anyone knows I'd be interested to hear whats the reality.
I have started many cars that have sat multiple years. It depends how they were stored. Outside with no maintanence? Yeah good luck with that. Inside with regural turn overs and other maintanence? No problems.
But then again, I'm alcohol free for 10 years now, am a introvert even on Finnish standards. So yeah, I might not say anything except "hello" and "well this was nice, goodbye."
Well, who owns the ship is the important bit. Where the ship is registered is irrelevant because its done for tax etc purposes. The crews are often subcontractor kind of deals. The ports that the ship left/was going to dont matter either, the ship is just a glorified floating lorry, you wouldnt consider a arson attack against a polish lorry to be a attack against germany just because the lorry was going to frankfurt.
If you ask me personally this was an attack against the west, not any individual countries.
If your car is making a rumble noise, you take it to a mechanic who tells you its a failed wheel bearing. Do you then go and change the gearbox because you dont trust professionals?
And then the mechanic will answer "yes. But its the wheel bearing thats making the noise." Do you then go to the car forums and ask help with chaning the gearbox or do you trust the professional and change the wheel bearing?
At the beginning of the war they would surface, ask the victim ship to surrender, if they didnt, the sub would start firing their deck gun. It was only after the merchant ships got some weapons of their ownthat they started to do submersed attacks.
Just checked from wikipedia, the yucatan impact was "The kinetic energy of the impact was estimated at 72 teratonnes of TNT (300 ZJ)." The Little Boy dropped on hiroshima was 15 kilotons of TNT. To say theres a vast difference is a understatement of the century.
You either have wrong understanding or no understanding of physics.
