It ain't stupid if it works

Unless it's this

"If it's stupid but works, it wasn't stupid" doesn't apply to safety or security.

ezdock is amazingly stable. This is still really stupid but not as completely as it seems.

Yeah, the surface area and buoyancy are serious. The lift is well balanced and designed not to tip over on a very small base.

I think, unless they've got some decent magic trick the biggest worry would be getting it on there in the first place. Maybe they crain it on there...

Right, each time I see this picture pop up, it's like the words barge and dredging don't exist. Like this thing is seen as some damn cast away raft or some shit. This is fine. It's just different.

If you showed a picture of a standard tower crane to someone with a decent understanding of physics but had never seen one before, they would similarly recoil and go "WTF why are you suspending a bunch of concrete blocks high in the sky on what looks like a pencil thin beam!" and it would take some explaining, OR it would take seeing it regularly for that person to become okay with it.

People don't see this every day, so they don't take it for granted, and therefore it looks insane. Just like tower cranes look insane.

Could've sworn there was like an OSHA memes comm this would've been good for but can't find it now

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Given that's now my field, why haven't I started that comm?! I'll get on it.
