Calling those things bollards is wrong terminology. Bollards is a maritime term. Bollards are on a dock, or quay wall. That's not a dock, nor a quay wall, that is technically a street. Bollards are used for lines to tie up ships/boats. If those same things were actually on a boat or ship, they would be called bits. Bits = on the boat/barge/ship itself. Bollards = on the dock for securing boats/barges/ship, fixed not moving. Those fucking FED things should be called something else.
I don't know why you think there's anything maritime about the Fed Reserve, other than it's sinking.
However I give you points for the analogy of the FED being a sinking dock, perhaps? Definitely a sinking ship. Call them bits, if you must. Docks rarely sink, but ships do.

Hitch
14th December 2014, 08:40 PM
I'm doing some research right now, it seems there's a force rating for something to be technically called a "bollard".
It seems a bollard, by term, must be able to withstand between 200-500 kips of pull force. One kip, equals 1000 lbs of pull force. So, these traffic "bollards" as you false claim them to be, must be able to withstand a pull force of between 200,000 lbs to 500,000 lbs.
I hope those traffic BS bollards have been tested for this, or else they may not live up to the term, bollard.

Yeah, I stand corrected, but it still bugs me they call those things bollards. Maritime folks can be picky about terms, because if you don't know them and pass on the wrong information, bad things can happen.
"Port" is most often used to relate to one specific side of the boat, the left side if you are facing forward. Starboard is referred to the right, as most of you know. It's interesting how those terms came about however. They go back to England, and how sailing south, they always had a port of safety on the left side of the boat, and all they saw was stars and open sea on the right "starboard."
Calling the bathroom the "head" is pretty funny. Most ships back then only sailed downwind, or near that, so they had the toilet at the bow or "head" of the boat, so the rest of the crew couldn't smell it.

Starboard came about from the term steer board which was mounted on the right side facing forward, opposite of port to prevent damage when docking. The helmsman steered from the right hand or steer board side and often could not see over the cargo thus calling for a uniform right of way. If a vessel is approaching from the starboard bow position (say "2 o'clock") they have the right of way because in days of old you'd be able to see them approaching and be able to manuver your vessel while they wouldn't necessarily be able to see you. This also is the reason for the green starboard light and red port light giving vessels the "green light" to proceed.
For the admiralty/maritime watchdog folks it is also fitting that there are "bollards" around the edges of a "bank".

A "bank" is a broad term and has nothing at all to do with securing ships alongside a dock. Bollards are dockside, built to tie ships up and secure them. Placing them around a "bank" to sit there and do nothing, really is an insult to the term. Bollards are working equipment, much like the lines that are there to the ship. Bollards have a job to do. They are working equipment.
Regarding the definition of port and starboard, we'll have to respectfully disagree.

A dock is not on a bank, a dock extends outward. The closest thing to a bank, would be a quay wall. A bank is usually avoided by vessels because it's a navigational hazard, a place to run aground, or find the winds and tides to deliver breaking waves.
The four fathoms bank off of San Francisco, aka the "potato patch" Many vessels, hauling potatoes, hence the name have been lost there. The seas build up on that bank and sink vessels.

no the term bank is symbolic to the flow of current(cy). It flows between banks. All the worlds commerce is lex mercatoria, founded on ocean going traders, the law of admiralty, sailing under the protection of a flag, you must pay homage to that "privilege".
All people are born vassals (vessels), birthed in a delivery room on a ward (of the state). Registered under a flag. When they reach the age of "Consent to Contract" of 18 then they can enter in to commerce.
If someone cannot operate their vessel correctly they may find them selves run aground or "Bankrupt" on the sea of commerce. It is all symbolic, just like the other symbols, eyes, pyramids, obelisks, stars, goats, badges and so on.

Good list but doesn't it go in the opposite direction generally. Like the Cultural collapse occurred years ago 60's-70's. Social collapse has occurred. Political collapse somewhere around 2000. Commercial collapse 2007-8, just averted a financial collapse at that point, and we still have that to look forward too!
