Manoeuvring thruster (bow thruster or stern thruster) is a transversal propulsion device built into, or mounted to, either the bow or stern, of a ship or boat to make it more manoeuvrable. Bow thrusters make docking easier, since they allow the captain to turn the vessel to port or starboard side, without using the main propulsion mechanism which requires some forward motion for turning; The effectiveness of a thruster is curtailed by any forward motion due to the Coandă effect. A stern thruster is of the same principle, fitted at the stern. Large ships might have multiple bow thrusters and stern...
@JourneymanGeek I don't see you or your sock, I do see several other people who are in this chat daily (and once a week) have made feedback that has been recorded; including my own - so it works though there's not been much overall. --- As for "Time to Deletion", that's here: metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/sites/…
On some forums they prefer users using their real names, since it's easier to relate to a person than to a "thing". Since we have avatars, would a self-photo be better than a meaningless pic?
Any preference or benefit of this on Stack Exchange? Does it help people better understand your posts?
I use my real name. However, I started wondering if this is bad and am considering changing it.
I ask A LOT of questions on Stack Overflow, way more than I answer. Mainly because for most questions that I can answer, someone else beats me to the punch. So I just up-vote them instead.
Anyone can...
@JourneymanGeek True. Occasionally someone new shows up and having done little research, and no check of the FAQ or for duplicates, proposes a grande idea that's going to improve everything. They then complain about downvotes or closing of their question, unreceptive to any advice offered; only to duplicate their question with a new one, which gets closed as a duplicate of their prior question. --- Finally they proclaim us as haters, and vow not to return and share their wisdom again. ---
Even people who have over 100K reputation have had that experience, though they did read and understand the comments and the advice offered; they didn't necessarily feel a lot better, but they understood what / why / how it all went wrong. --- Most recently though, was the point I made, is that the goofy Q&As of old are no longer frequent on MSE; with the most (recent) humorous ones being the play on words for retagging Titles.
There's been a few suggestions from fellow users that we should consider having a paid tier on SE.
Now, SE's fundamentally against being behind a paywall of any sort. I also remember someone suggesting it be a way to get around early user restrictions or even buying reputation. I personally don'...
We have seen a lot of discussion around explaining downvotes over the years, and not all were well received. We even got to a point that we now have a separate question about why these topics are ill received.
With the release of the articles feature on Stack Overflow Teams I saw an opportunity t...
@JourneymanGeek For me these things still happen when I pick a bag of lettuce or smth out of the fridge. Every now and then I still expect our guinea pigs to start squeeking.
They haven't been with us for over a year now I think
@Luuklag I'm pretty sure if I get another dog, He'll be Journeyman, and I'll forget myself and call him Ash... and that's a few years ahead, short of another miracle
@Luuklag we kinda got ash by accident. Its the only way my parents would have gotten a dog. He was left with us by a former soap opera actress who bought the dog without telling her husband, who was my cousin's cousin and they got into a fight
@JourneymanGeek In addition to updating the help center, y'all might want to think about updating the close reasons to use the full format for the site-specific reasons. We've got five fields instead of one now, which means we can make the reasons much more helpful for closers (telling them when to use the reason) and for people who get their question closed.
I'm happy to do the editing if we can work on what the other four fields should say.
CrockPots come in two styles - some have a removable ceramic pot, some are built-in. The nicer ones have the removable pot because it means you can toss the whole thing in the fridge or even have two different crocks for the one heating element.
@JourneymanGeek OK, but searching this webpage shows your only usage of the letters "question" is in the comment to which this comment replies; but I don't doubt your intentions. :) --- That one got bombed when tensions were much higher.
:D Cool - I wasn't sure since you said you hadn't seen them "loose" so I thought you meant that you didn't realize that some had removable ceramic pots.
The technicality, as I understand it (hey @Sha), is that "fire" can be "lit" and "maintained" at a fixed temperature, but a Crock-Pot probably can't be used as it isn't permanently "on" at a moderate temperature but instead turns itself on and off; you would need to heat the food and then unplug it, hoping that it's warm enough to enjoy.

@Luuklag They have turned vessels from the same shipping line, so that foretells that it's going to be a while getting uncorked. If you're already stuck a few hundred miles away you're kind of committed, but if you're a long way off then rerouting is easy enough; you have to make the correct decision in the case of perishables or dangerous cargo that may not survive a storm at the Horn.
@user400654 Oh, they did much more than that; I was leaving that for our member @Shadow to point out, the finer points.
There's a few new sayings, which I will not repeat here.
@Rob That's right! They should send him right now! I will call the corporate owners of Ever Given this instant to point out their mistake in not inviting him. (just kidding, but still... lol)
