Damn. My fuzzy slippers are really the only things that grip the rudder correctly.
Duffy: We've asked Americans to bring their better selves to travel. Listen, let's say please and thank you. Maybe not wear pajamas or slippers on the airplane. And I think it's been received fairly well

We are a country without a rudder, spiraling around a whirlpool of poverty, sickness and death.

Looking forward to a Mayor taking actual institutional (and legal) control of all city agencies, including the police department. There's been no rudder for too long.

Found with building debris carried to beach in 1st volcanic eruption, overturned by force of violent seas, smashed and buried by pyroclastic flows.
>9m long x 2.2m. Here rudder attachments + planking visible at stern. #Roman #Archaeology 🏺

I’m looking for new boats to photograph, ideally down the east coast, between say Newcastle and Hull but I could go further south. Boatyards are best, as are small harbours, but anywhere the yachts are lifted out in winter and aren’t locked up behind fences! DM me with ideas please!

expert targeting.. rudder+machine room.. BRAVO!

I caught up with The Flapster again today. It seems to be living its best life & is actually very skilled at using its leg as a rudder as well as a means of propulsion. I'm amazed I hadn't seen it before last week but maybe it was elsewhere & has just moved to the Bay for the winter. #birdingWales

A cheetah in slow motion reveals its superpowers. 🐆💨
A tail that steers like a rudder, claws that grip like cleats, and tire-like paw pads built for traction — to go from 0 to 60 km/h in three seconds!

Apologies. You taught me that a calm heart stays the course...but I could never even grasp the rudder.

flatboot extends an antenna needle heel: flipping down switchblade. though usually connected to the rudder pedals of the cockpit clean into that poor pilot's shoulder, and into the metal of the lateral supporting bucket of the seat with a whiplash. So sharp that confusion came before pain.

3 Dec 1747 (O.S.) // Stores ship HMS Portsmouth, anchored off North Foreland, had her rudder torn away in bad weather. Water poured in through the damaged stern, and although the holes were blocked with hammocks the flooding continued. She was abandoned to sink next morning. #RoyalNavy #NavalHistory

Masters of the Universe Wind Raider! Truly iconic though it looks slightly odd/tiny to me with only 1 figure in it thanks to Filmation enlarging it to a 4-seater size. When I was little I never realised that it was designed to be a semi-aquatic seaplane though it seems really obvious now 🌊⚓️

I was in Georgia, standing outside and trying to catch sight of a few sparrows hidden in a nearby shrub, when a cormorant suddenly appeared high overhead. Naturally, I lifted my camera skyward. From its markings and flight, I believe it was probably a double-crested cormorant.

We have been sitting in our Delta plane for more than three hours at AKL, because of a rudder problem. I hope they can fix it. Lots of anxiety around us about missing connections.

The spate of recent humpback whale entanglements has brought up many emotions; we are channeling them into action to improve the marine ecosystem.
Over this long weekend, we encourage you to #optoutside and pick up trash at a beach or park. Every little bit helps; comment if you participate!

Not wearing heels, stockings and a dress to fly. Really hard to wear a kneeboard and messes with the rudder.
A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

Bit more. I've started with UV and adding materials on it, but its losing readability. Also spent too long modeling parts that are barely visible because I....am...a fool. Going to go back to the rudders.

A large Chinese junk style rudder, photographed c.1920 - large rudders like this - up to 120ft - were developed long before western style rudders came into widespread use.

… for a damaged tanker in Hecate Strait. If a steering failure, power loss, or rudder jam happens — and the history of marine traffic tells us that sooner or later it always does — there is nowhere to run and no time to improvise. In calm seas, tugs can tow a disabled tanker out of danger.

And that's kind of interesting, as the manuscript is thought to be English and dates from the first half of the 14th century, when carvel construction in English ships was only just beginning, if it was even happening at all.
