====(from reuters)

SYDNEY, Nov 29 (Reuters) - A Royal New Zealand Navy vessel ran aground and sank off the coast of Samoa last month as a result of human error, a government-initiated inquiry found on Friday.

HMNZS Manawanui, the navy's specialist dive and hydrographic vessel, grounded on a reef on the southern side of Samoa, on Oct. 5 while conducting survey operations. All 75 crew members on board survived.

"The direct cause of the grounding has been determined as a series of human errors which meant the ship's autopilot was not disengaged when it should have been," the head of New Zealand's Navy Rear Admiral Gavin Golding said in a statement on Friday.

he crew did not realise the ship remained in autopilot and consequently thought its failure to respond to direction changes was the result of a thruster control failure.

The reasons why the crew failed to notice the error would be part of a wider inquiry expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year, Golding said.

=====(from 1news)

Disciplinary process to commence

Golding said that because human error was identified as the cause, a separate disciplinary process would need to begin once the Court of Inquiry had concluded.

The process would look at the officer in control of the ship, the supervising officer on the bridge, and the commanding officer of the Manawanui.

He said there were a number of other contributing factors leading to the grounding, which would be considered in more detail during phase two of the inquiry. These include training, planning, supervision, readiness, and risk assessment.

"To provide some immediate assurance, we have conducted a series of audits in the Fleet and looked to implement initial lessons identified from the interim report around training, risk management, and improving relevant orders, instructions and procedures," he said.

Speaking to media today, Defence Minister Judith Collins reacted to the report, saying: "I think we're all terribly disappointed by what happened and why it happened".

============

The vessel's sinking raised concerns about damage to the local environment, with many worried that leaking fuel could taint their food source.

The ship was carrying around 950 tonnes of diesel, and earlier this month, local authorities said about 200,000 litres of fuel had leaked from the sunken wreckage.

Golding told media there was still a "persistent slow leak" coming from the Manawanui.

"We monitor it each day with our divers that are in place."

He said compensation for locals was a matter for the Samoan government but said the Defence Force was supporting Samoa in the process. [ not our problem abos]

================

"I want to reassure the public of New Zealand that we will learn from this situation and that it is on me, as the Chief of Navy, to earn back your trust.

"We have incredible people within our Defence Force who answer the call to serve every day. Much of their work is risky and involves decisions that can mean life or death. No one turns up to work to have a bad day.

I made a post about this!!

https://rdrama.net/post/306239/royal-new-zealand-navy-loses-first

in its time as one of the deadest( but best) esports of all time, competitive tf2 has had numerous dramas, some funnier than others. most of these are libertarian drama. one notable one occurred back in 2016

b4nny

Grant "B4nny" Vincent is the most successful competitive tf2 player of all time, having at least 30 tournament wins, 4 international tournament wins and numerous other meaningless trophies for his collection since 2008, racking up over 28,000 hours in the game. (no seriously) He is notable for being perhaps the only tf2 player to have made a career from streaming and for his enormous ego, creating numerous moments of hilarity.

(there will be more.)

one of b4nny's most redeeming traits (at least in the past) remains his penchant for tweeting.

his tweet game was so prolific that there is a 15 page thread on the main competitive tf2 forum compiling people's favorites

https://www.teamfortress.tv/32408/favorite-b4nny-tweet

some of these have caused immense seethe.

some of my favourites include:

(ok, this one is pretty funny, hes making fun of someone for not going to lan because of school or something lol)

despite his mastermind X antics b4nny has had a rough relationship with the community through the years.

initially starting off well liked, something seemed to snap in b4nny's heart, turning it cold.

maybe this was when he got cucked by his teammate and continued to play with him after finding out because he loves winning that much. Maybe it was his own teammate leaving mid-playoffs match due to him insisting on swapping the team's roles around for some reason, causing his team to get upset, get 3rd place (up to this point b4nny hadnt been either 1st or second in the top division for 4 years!) and disband immediately after. This also happened again like 7 years later but thats a different story.

B4nny immediately rebuilt his team with new up and coming players (including some who would go on to play in theoverwatch league (lolll)

all was well in b4nny's camp. He had recently met his funding goal to attend the 2016 international lan hosted in some shithole in england idk lol

one fateful day, b4nny decided to beat his liver and stream drunk. Clearly intoxicated, b4nny streamed on. meanwhile an up and coming top european player by the name of thalash decided to do some trolling by insinuating that b4nny was getting carried by his now ex-teammate who had cucked him in the past. B4nny's ego, already more inflated than the hindenburg (RIp crodies) reached nuclear meltdown levels. how dare a player who has never gone to LAN talk down on me like this!

b4nny also has a bizarre half-joking hatred for european players, berating their playstyle constantly for being slow and boring (true)

these factors lead to b4nny going on a legendary drunken tangent raving about europeans, accolades and how thalash is the equivalent of what someone might call a plumber or taxi driver driver in the UFC.

the most notable part of this autism fueled rant is b4nny's legendary statement that he requests his new found foe utter when he loses to him on lan(0:33 seconds in video 1 :) )

im sorry im not good i apologize for my ego please forgive me, im just europeean.

uh oh!

this sparks huge drama in the community, with some pointing out that thalash was provoking an obviously deathly drunk b4nny while others laughed at his ego about an already small esport.

august 26, 2016

b4nny has arrived in europe with his team to smite the europeeans once and for all.

[lUPS7b3.jpg]

at his sexiest, he is ready to take the win and prove why blumpfkenstiltskin needs to stop giving aid to twink european panhandlers.

can you guess what happens?

[shhdhdh.PNG]

[fgfg.PNG]

b4nny loses, becoming a laughing stock and likely killing some hobo in retaliation (he lived in la).

b4nny later returns to his uncrushable winning ways, winning every single major tournament in NA until 2021 and eventually getting his getback on thalash in 2018 and 2019 at lan, one being in NA one being in ingerland.

b4nny still plays to this day. i think despite his insufferable ego, its quite impressive hes been able to dedicate himself to this without roping or moving on to another esport. hes clearly a talented team leader and team builder.

ill probably never post again on this site but theres so much funny drama from this esport holy shit lol

We've looked at Daily Mail comments on drinking in the past in Daily Mail commenters have better opinions than boozers and alcoholmisia combined, let's see how they react to the latest evidence that drinking is bad for you.

Overall, researchers found having just one alcoholic drink a week raises the risk of suffering from about 19 health conditions compared to not drinking at all.

These included a higher risk of colon and esophageal cancers and of liver cirrhosis.

Dr Kevin Shield, who was involved with the report, told DailyMail.com: 'It's important to note that our report found that no level of alcohol consumption is completely risk-free.

'The analysis results show that, among drinkers, the lower their alcohol consumption, the lower their risk of mortality.

'Conversely, as alcohol consumption increases, so does the risk of mortality. So when it comes to alcohol use, less is best for health.'

Let's look at the comments:

NTA. What's a relationship, worse, a marriage, without trust?Vulnerability is important in all relationships and keeping secrets is so disrespectful, specially when you've been together long enough. (337)

When she had the actual "relationship" OP knew about. The sugar baby stuff was apparently after that, so she'd have been of age. (45)

Your 1,2, and 3 are certainly questions worth exploring, but your are missing question 4 Can you regain trust with her or has this lie completely undermined your ability to believe her when she tells you anything important (180)

Idk, I think it's fair to ask whether she will ever trust him again, either, or if she ever did. He's not exactly giving "ride or die," is he? (-36)

As someone who spent 10 yrs in a marriage with a man who judged me for having any type of relationship before him, I can understand why she was scared to tell u. My late husband, who died in May of 2023 of cancer, accused me of cheating, constantly called me a b-word, whore, slut and a c*nt every single day because of the fact I wasn't a virgin when we got together and I had an 8 yr old son when we got together. And he constantly interrogated me at the beginning of our relationship about the size of my son's father's peepee because I told him about the abuse I suffered at the man's hands(he beat and r*ped me for 8 years). And then spent our marriage accusing me of wanting cheating cuz I "needed" a "real" man cuz he wasn't "huge". My late husband was so fricking insecure and it sounds like u, OP, are just like that. An insecure prick who can't handle her past. IT IS HER PAST!!!! LET IT FRICKING GO!!!! Her past is her past. She is more than likely ashamed about that part of her life. But... (-3)

ESH. Wow. Okay, so there's a lot to unpack here with the information you provided. Emotional reactions are understandable under the circumstances, but feeling your feelings doesn't excuse a person's behavior. And OP, your words were hurtful, cruel, and disgusting. Regardless of how you feel and view s*x work, you might as well have called your wife a whore. She did not call herself a prostitute, that is a label you put on her. You only know the side that she is telling you, and from the sound of it she was right to feel unsafe confiding in you. If she suspected you would react with such little understanding and empathy, then what is the point in confiding in something she did when she was young, immature, and probably desperate for money? She also might be ashamed of her past actions.Not only were you cruel, but imo you showed some very ugly colors in saying that you never would have even dated her if you knew. Though maybe if she told you, y'all could have gone your separate ways a... (12)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Dude! That's fricked up!!! You literally married a prostitute. I know you say you love her, but darn! She lied to you this entire time. I can only speak for myself, but I would get that marriage annulled. She's ok with lying to you to get her way. She's used to whoring herself out to get what she wants (gifts/money). You can never trust her. Luckily you don't have kids. Break that shit off and get the heck out of there. (-1)

Frick Joe Biden and frick the Democrats in general. I have voted for them consistently and consistently I've been left wanting. The democrats have no backbone. They have no will to fight. They've coasted for decades by being "the rational adult" in the room while the Republicans go further and further into the most insane levels of theocratic fascism seen since the 19fricking30s.Frick the Democrats, frick their decorum, and frick Joe Biden for being a worthless sack of bones in general. My lifespan just got statistically shortened by four fricking years because of this flaccid do-nothing excuse for a party. (0)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

For what? (582)

He really let us down. Yes, I do think Biden's presidency overall was beneficial for the middle class, but he failed us where it mattered most—holding the previous administration accountable. The appointment of Merick Garland alone was a failure. Throw in his 180 in being a one term President, his administration hiding his mental decline, his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal (I'm a veteran of that war, that one hurt), and his failure to exit the race in a timely manner all allowed Trump to win and put us in a position to collapse as a nation.Biden did a lot of good, but his failures far outweigh his successes in my opinion. I'm a democrat for what it's worth. (281)

Your friend is ignoring the facts because they make her uncomfortable. Elon is a total Nazi, he's defending the AfD, a neo Nazi party, in Germany right now and telling Germany to get over the Holocaust. He bought Twitter so Nazis would quit getting banned and censored. They just ignore those facts because it makes them uncomfortable and it doesn't directly impact them...yetQuit trying to defend Nazi shit in my comments. I'm gonna tell you you're defending a Nazi and then block your ignorant butt when you continue to try and act like THIS isn't the same darn thing https://giphy.com/gifs/gJJ8ZV3xVonUU4vcXwETA: Longer paragraphs defending Nazi shit doesn't all of a sudden mean I won't block you when I see it, so you can quit trying to convince me to give Nazis a chance to speak their mind...frick Nazis and frick their opinions, their Nazi butt opinions are rooted in bigotry, they're trash and I don't discuss things with garbage.

He is saying my heart goes out to you!! I am high jacking your top comment to clearly point this out. Quit making something into what it isn't. He did not do the salute. He was throwing his heart out to the crowd. Whatever other agenda y'all have with whatever he has done is not needed in this. Pretend he isn't Elon.. he is just some person throwing his darn heart out to the crowd!!! OP threw out a friendship because they are so blinded by just who the person is that they didn't want to see what was actually being said with the hand gesture! FFS get over yourselves! (-45)

No, I'm neurodivergent. I don't need to see a clip of Elon being a moron to know that Trump is a fascist and I feel that this particular thing is rage bait. It's a bad look, but it's not an executive order that is going to get thousands of trans people killed. There's so much destructive angry energy going around and I feel like it's not even worth it to keep dwelling on Elon's Nazi salute. The salute and the response are amplifying all of the nasty energy that's already in the country. And the salute isn't even killing anyone. (1)

Pretty sure bro bought the car before elon supposedly seig heiled anyways. (10)

Yeah idk what OP's angle is here. Like are they demanding they sell their car just because op doesn't like Elon after he did something stupid? The fact op is literally being an butthole, forcing politics into the group chat then getting angry they don't automatically hate whoever op hates, then getting more angry that they happen to own a Tesla, is unequivocally an butthole move and sentiment but Reddit is so anti Elon they'll ignore all of it just to take another stab at that dumbass (2)
