PDF Editor FAQ
What is the sketchiest load you have ever hauled as a trucker?
I have to agree with the others as to what would be considered sketchiest, but I did come up with one.Years ago I was a team driver. Normally, we would get our dispatches via email on the truck’s wireless communication terminal. Not this time. Rather than our usual dispatch info what we got instead was “Call me" from the boss.His instructions were very explicit. He told us we would be picking up a trailer nearby that was loaded and sealed. He went on to say once we signed for it, to put a fire under it, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Just go, and stop only when absolutely necessary such as for fuel and bathroom breaks.We were in northern California when we arrived to pick up the load at a high security location. Both my partner and I had to provide the proper identification. Strangely, they already knew we were coming. They already had our names as well as our truck and trailer number. By asking for our ID they were only verifying our information.We dropped our empty trailer and hooked up to the loaded one. The trailer was sealed with a heavy duty bolt seal that looked identical to this,Once we hooked up we headed back to the guard shack where we were handed our bills and the seal was verified.The shipment was blind meaning, instead of listing the actual name of the owner of the goods on the bills, it was a third party broker.The plot thickened from there. The bills said we were carrying one pallet of N.O.I. , not otherwise indicated. One pallet was strange enough, but N.O.I. ?!Once we cleared the gate it was, “Yah! Mule!!” all the way cross country to a lab in Massachusetts. Once we arrived, the seal was again verified and then cut off. Opening the doors I was more than a bit surprised to see the single pallet of N.O.I. we were hauling was…drum roll… dog biscuits!Curiosity got the better of me and I had to ask. What the hell was all the hub-bub over a single pallet of doggy biscuits? The explanation made sense and it all came together in the end.The dog biscuits were from a large brand name manufacturer. It was a brand new product set to be released in the short weeks to come. The company had invested megabucks in an advertising campaign in anticipation of the product’s release. Before it could be released, they needed approval from the lab in the form of a COA (certificate of analysis).Ours was the second pallet being tested, the first one having failed due to it being over-baked.
How fast are renewable energies growing?
Much faster than anyone associated with traditional energy analysis understands. This assessment of historical projections by the International Energy Association (IEA) is very instructive. The IEA is the most trusted international source of data and analytics on energy; it's the gold standard.Basically, every year or so the IEA has released a projection of the growth of renewables, every year or so the IEA has significantly undershot the actual growth and they are still not understanding the scaling of renewables.This is indicative of a paradigm shift problem, a systemic inability to perceive the actual drivers of growth. It's important to pull this apart because it informs an awful lot of the disconnects in discussions about forms of generation and how they will play in a decarbonizing grid.Traditional forms of generation -- nuclear, hydro, coal and gas -- scale vertically much more than horizontally. They are like mainframes. If you want more power, make the unit bigger. Thermal generation has vertical scaling limits of about a GW per unit which were reached decades ago. That's a very large individual capacity, so many fewer units need to be built. While this has advantages, it has significant disadvantages compared to renewables that traditional generation analysts don't understand. Let's take the specific example of nuclear reactors. There are about 450 of them worldwide in 29 countries and each is an instance of about 17 different designs. What this really means is that each nuclear reactor is an individual, custom, engineering mega-project that starts from a common design, but ends up unique. And with so few, supply chains are exercised every ten years, so every process is virtually reinvented for the specific transaction. Quality control is unique as well, and this leads to obvious impacts such as the French pressurized water containment vessels -- all six of them for six different reactors -- having exactly the same manufacturing flaw which will likely cause them to be unfit for purpose for any reactor, leading to years and billions more.Modern renewable forms of generation -- specifically wind and solar -- are in a different paradigm of horizontal scaling, much like the arrays of microcomputers that 99.999% of the internet runs on. To get a GW of wind, put up 500 identical wind turbines. To get a GW of solar, put up a big field of 5 million identical solar panels. My latest estimate is that we've built about 1.8 million utility-scale wind turbine blades so far, and there are factories in China which pump out more than a million solar panels a year. All of those blades and panels zip around the world on well-oiled logistics networks which are optimized by constant use. All of those blades and panels get set up in parallel by lots of normally skilled resources -- nuclear engineers need not apply -- and get tested at each step of manufacturing, logistics and construction by quality assurance people and tools which test identical things every day, so quality control issues disappear. As you look at generation with this lens, what you see is a highly optimized set of parallel activities of high quality and low cost. Which is why the price of renewables is plummeting and the cost of nuclear keeps going up.Traditional analysts have been extremely slow to understand the paradigm shift in scaling. They aren't from the consumer electronics or computing worlds, they are from the generation world and they are users of computers, which is a very different thing.
Why are Saudi Arabia’s M1 Abrams tanks being knocked out so easily in the Yemeni War? How many have they lost, and are there any tactical methods they are using now to reduce the losses?
After I read this question, I went on YouTube and watched a bunch of videos of rebels destroying M1As. There are plenty of those.What I saw are things that have nothing to do with M1 Abrams itself. Any tank would suffer the same fate. It is not a tank issue, it is a usage issue.I do not know how many they have lost, but if we go by the videos, they have lost too many, and in fact, they should have lost, precisely 0. There are methods that they can use to reduce losses. They are called training on tank warfare basics.So before I continue:In the above picture, you can see me (on the right) with two members of my crew on top of our Leopard tank during some NATO drills.When I was serving in the military I was an officer with the rank of … well in the US that would be lieutenant at the time. As such, I was in command of a tank platoon which consists of 4 tanks with 4 crew members each.Above is me again at my company’s tank parking lot, smiling like an idiot. Do you see that bent “pillar” to my left as we are facing the picture? It was not made by a Leopard and happened long before my time, but it could have very well been made by a Leopard as the reason for it was a problem you inevitably encounter if your military has too many 18 yo people who take nothing seriously.As an officer, I had to train people on various stuff for all crew roles. From how to clean an MG3, to how to drive this damn thing, to how to find targets, to tactics.Thus let’s assume hereafter that I have an idea of what a tank is capable of since I have been in the roles, of a loader, driver, gunner, commander, and tank platoon leader.First, let’s put one thing out of the way immediately.Obviously, tank warfare on a mountain terrain like that of Greece is quite different than tank warfare in a plains environment, a desert environment, a heavily forested environment etc.However, some things remain the same as they are matters of basic principles.For example, a tank fears NOTHING except two things: another tank, or a helicopter.This is a direct consequence of how tanks are supposed to be used and it has to do with basic common economic sense.For example, no tank ever should be somewhere completely isolated from its platoon. No tank platoon goes somewhere that the area was not scouted beforehand, and no tank platoon is used on its own. Tanks are supposed to be used in a combined arms way, and in particular in direct combination with infantry. You see, the cheapest thing on the field is infantry. Armor, on the other hand, is one of the most expensive things on the field, because it is so damn high tech. So you NEVER want to risk a very expensive tank being destroyed by some dude hiding behind some rocks who is using some very cheap antitank missile.It is similar to the reason that a tank is not really fearful of fighter aircrafts. It is not that a fighter jet would have any trouble destroying a tank in a heartbeat. The issue is different. Fighters are WAAAAY more expensive than a tank or two or three etc. If the pilot sees one tank, they can easily take it out of course, but the problem is that if you saw one then you can bet your patootie that the entire platoon is somewhere close, or two platoons or a company, hidden. Certain tanks like the Leopard, for example, could be underwater, waiting. They could be thermally camouflaged. You cannot be certain that you saw them all if they are handled properly because they will have been made difficult to see.The problem with not knowing where they all are is that similarly to you detecting them, they can also see you. They will all start firing with their mounted AA equipment towards a predetermined point, creating a conical invisible umbrella. You do not want to risk a fighter for taking down a much much cheaper tank or two, because presumably, you have much better options. Now if you are in the open desert and they are all in a convoy line, you can destroy them all in the blink of an eye, but this would NOT be the tank’s fault. Moving your armored units in a convoy without having ensured air superiority or air control is stupid.It is a very similar situation when we are talking about tanks in a city warfare. There is no such thing as tanks and city warfare actually. I mean the only thing that I can think that it would be worse than moving tanks just like that inside a city, would be to simply drive a fighter aircraft into the city. Completely not being used the way it is supposed to be used.Watching the videos I observed a common theme. A tank being alone(!) and motionless(!!) while completely exposed(!!!) without any infantry anywhere to be seen(!!!) the turret not scouting the area(!!!) and the tank commander being inside with the hatch closed(!!!). It is the perfect storm.Let's examine some theory about how they are supposed to operate.A tank platoon, either moves and fires simultaneously, or moves-stops-fires, or if it is stationary each armored unit is concealed behind an obstacle like a hill in which case they are not supposed to be visible. What I mean is this:If you have a static defending position, then you are not supposed to be exposed or visible for more than you need to acquire the target and fire, which is 2–10 seconds I ’d say. Even then you expose only your front part which is pretty much impenetrable especially if you expose it, at a slight angle.The sides are much weaker, and also the sides have the most annoyingly vulnerable part of the tank… the links.Here is a picture of what I am talking about:If you are static, then the above depiction is the ideal condition because you give a very small target to the enemy tank. In reality, you cannot always find the ideal position, but in any case, you are trying to use the terrain to your advantage.These are very basic stuff… I mean these are some obvious things that even kids playing “World of Tanks” can understand really well and actually use.If you cannot obtain such a position, then you definitely do not stay still:In fact, you do not need to stop, as the aiming is quite easy, a computer does most of the stuff for you. You laser mark your target, the computer knows immediately your target’s distance, speed, your speed, angle… basically, you just push the button to fire.In any case… all these are trivialities and the most important thing as I said, is that armor is used as a part of combined arms tactics. You do not send them somewhere alone. Furthermore, a tank has the advantage that it can be accurate and lethal for great distances like 3 km… It can see you at night, it can see your thermal signature, it can target you easily and automatically… it is high tech. I remember during some drill on mount Olympus when it was pitch dark, we would goof around tracking bunnies hopping around and we would laser measure their distance from our location.For a guy with an RPG or something to hit you, a hundred things are there that you must be doing wrong. This seems to be the case with the Saudis.When I said earlier that the Saudi’s, in theory, should have lost exactly 0 armored units, it is because the Huthis have no tank units and no helicopters and no aircraft.Basically, they have nothing that they can threaten the tank with, from a safe distance.Because the threats in such a situation are so minimal, scouting the area is very easy which means that you can ensure that there are no snipers within a sniper effective range. This, in turn, means that tank commanders can have their hatch open scouting the area with unhindered visibility, which makes the entire task of approaching a tank even harder.Clearly, things change if you are in a city, but then again, it is not the tank’s job to be in the city, like it is not the artillery’s job to be in the city. Everything has its use. Looking at the videos though, you can see that it is not just the city warfare that is an issue there...Here is a screenshot from one of the videos:The missile is coming from some other place than where the person taking the video is and both of those locations seem to be at a higher elevation...The missile is guided, and it takes forever to reach the tank, and yet the tank crew seems to be oblivious to it. The tank commander is inside with the hatch closed. There is no action whatsoever by the tank crew. No moving, no turning, no releasing smoke for concealment… NOTHING. It literally looks like some setup for the training of newly drafted Houthi rebels. What the tank is doing there all alone next to all these buildings, is completely unclear. If you see the video you will even notice a pickup truck driving casually while all this is taking place.Here is another:Again a motionless tank, sitting on... A ROAD…. a guided missile taking forever to reach it, the crew oblivious, and someone recording the whole thing effortlessly. This is either propaganda or a joke, or the Saudis are completely clueless due to lack of training.Here is another:Motionless unsupported tank completely exposed, among buildings.Rebel close by(!) with this huge ass AT equipment, taking his time for the shot. This is not the type of AT equipment that you can grab and run around. This is a prepared position that is not scouted.The guided missile with a ton of gas pretty much pinpointing the direction of the shot moves towards the oblivious tank.After the hit, a guy is exiting the tank, ready to provide training to some sniper nearby I guess. All of it comfortably recorded by a phone.It is unbelievable.Here is another:This is a tank that apparently is trying to do the right thing. The problem is that someone from a higher ground is seeing it, and in fact recording it. On its left side (to our right as we look at it) there is a Saudi outpost, i.e. infantry defending the area. You can see the sandbags of the fortified position on top of that elevated hill spot.In fact, this tank is being recorded from various angles!a hit.A guy with a gun watching from yet another place.Saudi crew coming out. They also have something like a red cooler on top of the tower for…I do not know. Their sandwiches? To become more visible? I have no clue. But you can see it in every shot.Here it is. If someone knows wth is the deal with that, please let us know.Saudis at this point are abandoning ship… They are all retreating. Multiple cars and a tank can be seen leaving the post.Houthi rebel feeling confident enough at this point to simply stroll barefooted around.Houthis approaching the tank from the right.Another bunch of them casually inspecting it.One could argue that we are watching a well-directed propaganda movie… I mean look at this frame…The Saudi’s have left everything behind.Even that bed which looks like a toddler’s bed, that they had there for some reason…(Seriously, wth)Houthis grabbing equipment… On the floor we can see various light reflecting trash, like cans, bottles, we can even see a rake. For goodness sake, were they gardening there?A Houthi rebel using a lighter to set a piece of paper on fire, right in front of the tank, with some coke cans trashing the place. I bet they were in that cooler at some point earlier.Same rebel, putting that lit paper in the driver's position, attempting to set the tank on fire.Eventually, after throwing a bunch of other flammable stuff in there, he started a fire.Now the reason that this tank was left there, was that apparently was immobilized. Only one of its crew died AFTER they all exited the tank, AFTER the hit and that from some sniper or other small-gun shot.It is not exactly clear why the tank was immobilized but this is probably the point of impact:i.e. nothing happened to that tank. This tank is very much capable of fighting, especially if the crew is injured but still capable of just getting out and running away. If they can do that, then they are very much still capable of fighting.So at this point, in my opinion, the issue is clear. There is no M1 Abrams problem. The M1 Abrams is a fantastic tank.There is a lack of training problem.The Houthis who are half naked and untrained civilians with no sophisticated equipment, managed to overrun a fortified position, with two or perhaps more tanks present? This is unreal. The Houthis, do not even attempt to take a quite undamaged, and easily repairable anyway, multimillion dollars worth vehicle with thousands of dollars worth of ammunition inside. They are burning it instead. Geniuses…The Saudis there, were clearly not taking things very seriously. The trashing of the place alone indicates as much.This is a tragedy. These people Saudis and Houthis are real people, with families. The longer this war lasts the more suffering is inflicted on the population. The Saudis seemingly being completely incompetent, at least in these particular cases, means that the war is not to be won by them any time soon. On the other hand, the Houthis being completely outgunned, also means that they cannot win the war. So the war and the suffering that is causing on the population will continue for quite a while.I would also like to say, that the Saudis abandoning their position in that last example, is not necessarily an indication of cowardice. We do not know the exact tactical situation, or what sort of orders they had, or whether the retreat was a tactical ruse. We do not know.What we can say for certain though, is that the Houthis would never be able to take that position had the Saudis remained to defend it. If the defenders fled on their own accord, then it is a lack of training and situational awareness for sure, which is probably the case.EDIT:Some people in the comments have been wondered what would be the point in keeping the tank if the Houthis have absolutely no training on how to use. I guess people are wondering why I sarcastically called them “geniuses” for destroying it.So let me explain why I think that destroying the tank is a bad idea.Let’s start by making clear how difficult exactly is to operate a tank.As I said there are 4 positions, or 3 if a tank has autoloading. The normal thing is 4.We ‘ll start with the loader.A loader needs the following skills:Nothing. Well ok, maybe enough muscle power to lift the kind of heavy ammunition and then the common sense to get out of the way I guess.Then there is the driver.In the very first picture I posted, the guy that wears his beret improperly and hilariously as a pancake was the driver.Drivers require the following skills:Distinguish between forward, reverse, left and right.Do EXACTLY what the tank commander is telling you.There is very little difficulty in driving a battle tank. In fact, not only it is super easy, but it is also super fun. One of the most fun things I’ve done in my life is speeding with a Leopard :)The most difficult part of it I guess would be, to actually go very slow and avoid hitting buildings, when the tank barely fits.Unlike the loader who has no way to view the field, the driver can and should be scouting the field actively. Still, it is a very easy job to perform.The gunner.Now the gunner is the first crew member that requires some sort of skill. The gun is stabilized, the computer takes care of all the calculations etc, but still, the gunner will need to locate and use laser telemetry for long enough before he pushes the button on his… well, joystick would be a fair enough description I guess. The gunner can see nothing other than what is in his targeting view. So the gunner has very little to no situational awareness. He can pick a target only if the tank commander either directs the turret or instruct the gunner to point to the appropriate direction.Basically, the skill required is, “here is a view field of the general direction of the target, locate the target in your view field, point to it, and press the button”.The commander.Now we are going to something that is orders of magnitude more difficult than everything else we have seen. The commander is the eyes, ears, nose, skin, tongue, and brain of the tank. It is the only person who can look around in every direction. The skill required is immense. I mean imagine speeding through rough hilly terrain looking at a direction different than that of the tank’s movement, trying to locate targets far away, turning the turret around as you scout. Once the TC detects a target, he turns the turret fast towards that direction and instructs the gunner to locate and fire. He is the person who also instructs the loader, as to what type of ammo he should load, and give instructions to the driver for a direction and speed. Basically, it is multitasking to the extreme. If you are the platoon leader, you also have to keep track of all the other units of your platoon and instruct the commanders as well. Must be able to read tactical maps, contour maps, understanding of tactics and of strategic goals… Difficult stuff.Now as you read above, the TC is the one that can see around, and turn the turret towards targets. Which means that whether you have your hatch closed or not matters…The hatch is giving protection at the cost of awareness, at the cost of having blind spots, and so on.So now that we know a bit about the crew, we can conclude that the only reason that the Houthis would not be able to use the tank as in a traditional tank role, is that they would not have a tank commander or other tanks to support it. They would not have the fuel or the logistics, in general. However, it is not as if they would HAVE to use the tank as it would be used in some normal warfare.In a conflict in general, and especially in asymmetric warfare like that in Yemen, you do not play by some rules. You do anything in your power to deceive, confuse, break the morale, redirect attention, resources, personnel and so on, of your enemy. You do not try to be some sort of good guy. In order to achieve that you have to become if need be some sort of MacGyver if you know what I mean. Every single thing that can be seen in those videos can be used in one way or another, even the trash believe it or not.I will mention an example that you may have heard of. Shoot to injure, do not shoot to kill is a school of thought, that at first hearing, makes little sense to most people. However, consider this.The enemy in front of you, are people. They have been spending months, sometimes years together. Training together, operating together, being sleepless together. They know about each other’s families. They can be as close as brothers. To use a cliche, they form a band of brothers.Now imagine that you are in a combat situation and one of your siblings is getting shot on the head and he is dead. You will go berserk. You will want nothing more than killing all the SoBs who did that.Instead consider that you see your sibling screaming in agony from pain, begging you to help after he is wounded. Your mind is not on the enemy anymore, your mind is on saving your comrade. Many people can be lost or become non-operational when trying to save a wounded person. Resources will be needed to get them out of the field, back to safety, provide medical care, etc etc. You replace, the mental state that motivates revenge and intense focus, with one that is of extreme worrying, lack of focus and utterly demoralizing…. It is way preferable to wound than to kill in certain operational situations.So wounding on purpose is cunning in fact. It is one form, of not playing fair. You take into consideration, human psychology, and battle logistics and you do something unethical you could say.So having a spare M1 Abrams laying around allows you to do some very very sneaky stuff.Check the following picture:Something does not look entirely right…How about this one:well, definitely something is not right :)These are inflatable tank units. You know… balloons.They were used in WW 1 and 2 because it is a great way, to confuse, misguide, deceive, redirect attention etc etc… on the cheap.So you realize that a tank especially one like the Abrams, can be used, to begin with, for achieving some or all of the above goals. You do not have to use it, as a tank. You can use it, as something that the enemy believes is an operational tank.You can also use it as highly mobile artillery for as long as you do have ammunition and fuel. I do not know what sort of ammo the Saudi M1s are carrying around but if they have something like white phosphorus ammunition, then… oh boy.Check this video:You do not have to see the target, nor you have to hit it exactly. You can fire one of those in the general direction of the enemy fortified position from 5 or 6 km away behind hills. At the very least you are causing, panic, confusion, and uncertainty. All very desirable mental states for your enemy.You can use the tank as a bait, to reveal enemy tank positions that would fire at it. You can use it to halt some advance by making it obvious enough, that resources need to be spent to make sure that there is no real danger.I can think of many ways that a spare tank can be used to the advantage of untrained rebels. Especially if they are facing an enemy that is poorly trained and prone to error and perhaps panic. It can even be used as a thermal detector or a night view instrument. All you need is starlight to see everything as if it is daytime, from within the tank (well if it has the equipment for that which I assume they do).Now, I do not know if the Abrams has some sort of security that would prevent rebels from using it. I do not think so. Someone who has served in one could perhaps tell us. But even then, you can at the very least remove the ammunition and booby-trap the crap out of this tank, and use the ammunition for other devious purposes.Burning the tank is just not the correct thing to do.
