do we assume they check the line all the way around?
There's one on each side, amidships. There are various allowable level marks for freshwater, saltwater, and various climatic environments like tropical, summer, winter, and North Atlantic winter.
Containers are built to an ISO standard and a new one can stay afloat for quite a while. After it's been picked up and put down by cranes enough times, well...
That doesn't pass the sniff test: every cargo ship has a built-in way of determining precisely how heavily it's loaded. It consists of a few ounces of paint, and it's called a Plimsoll line...
Given that their exact function is orientation detection
Except that it's no such thing. An angular velocity sensor senses, well, angular velocity. That means speed of rotation. A broken clock is right twice a day, and a stationary angular velocity sensor is right all the time.
The formally correct term is "groundloop", although "violent yaw" would be valid too. A spin in an airplane is quite something else, and it doesn't happen on the ground.
No, and the Poseidon missile is not powered by a Greek deity, either. The Proton series has been Russia's standard heavy-duty space launcher for close on fifty years.

They didn't call them pigboats for nothing.
That's in Texas.
And possibly a little confusing, too, considering that Florida has a city named Destin.

You -- you mean -- Teen Talk Barbie was wrong?

You're right. If a woman marries many husbands, it is not polygamy.
It's polyandry.
OK, so we uphold both the 18th and the 21st, right?
has public education deteriorated so badly since?
Yes.
There aren't enough paramedics.
My wife suggested calling it "pirouetting", which might have helped.
I just heard this joke the other day.
Well, that puts you about forty years behind me...
Uninformed, not silly.
He said "cartwheel" when he meant "spin."
The formally correct term is "groundloop", although "violent yaw" would be valid too. A spin in an airplane is quite something else, and it doesn't happen on the ground.
At least one aileron separated. An untrained witness could easily see that as a "wing".
Yes, a cartwheel in an airplane that big is catastrophic. But how do you deal with people who don't know what "yaw" means?
A better term would have been "pirouette".
Is that your takeaway from this issue?
No, and the Poseidon missile is not powered by a Greek deity, either. The Proton series has been Russia's standard heavy-duty space launcher for close on fifty years.
with a movie that has already had its run.
The one near me has first-run movies. It's a very expensive movie, but a moderate-priced dinner-and-a-movie.
...and get another glass of wine on the way back.
An acquired taste that we no longer have much reason to acquire.
And your feet don't stick to the floor...
Wilbur made the first attempt but failed. Orville succeeded on his turn.
