Leperflesh posted:A traditional cask could be anywhere from 50 to over 500 liters. Assuming even the smallest 50-liter cask, and assuming sherry's density is close enough to that of water to make no nevermind, a full cask would weigh 50kg plus the weight of the cask. There might be some air in there, the alcohol weighs slightly less than water, but the wood adds weight, so maybe 120 pounds is a decent weight. So what you're implying is that with a full 500L cask, you could easily anchor three motorcycles!

I don't understand how you guys haven't figured out out yet. Motorcycles weight 400 lbs on average, without fluids. Just get 2 and tie them together, problem solved ! Need to park on the street, but fear of your hog getting jacked? Pull up to another one, and bring out the chains! The other rider will appreciate the added security and will probably not kick and/or scratch your bike at all! Use a simple trick that concrete manufacturers don't want you to know!

If a motorbike weighs 400 lbs already, then surely all you have to do is chain it to itself? Of course the motorbike industry will tell you you need a second but they're just trying to sell more bikes

At 30,000 tons, it is just a baby by modern standards and would probably fit in the Handysize designation, but then it was too big for any yard to build.

eh, soyuz-11 accidentally vented the atmosphere shortly before reentry because 2 rockets fired at the same time instead of sequentially, and soyuz-1's parachutes failed on reentry. Pretty darn good record otherwise though, it's really come a long way. Was just trying to be impartial. e. Buran's final resting place might be more fitting for this thread though:

E: on the depressing crappy construction side, challenger blew up because it was too cold for some rubber o rings to seal, and several of the engineers knew that would be a problem and begged NASA not to launch. However, there was so much pressure to go ahead from Reagan's administration because his state of the union address was the next day, so they went ahead with predictable results Catatron Prime fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Mar 21, 2016 |
