Pipe lay (etc) anchor barges do this today.
There are usually six to 8 anchor winches on the vessel. A tug comes to the barge, picks up the anchor and moves it out to some point while the winch unreels. Repeat for other anchors. Winch in to move the vessel.
This is used for precision movement/placement of the barge.
Many vessels use azipods and Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) these days.
But before DPS much of offshore infrastructure was placed by anchor barges.

They used to have these things called "books", before they were all banned.

Cheney did 9/11

💯

Meanwhile..
Oh how the turntables.

Lol yep. It's not what being taken, it's what's being fed. These peeps don't understand that.

Precisely why they need treatment for their psychosis

The name, "Skrillex", even sounds like an insecticide 😆

Lol, implying women are attracted to money is not a stereotype that only an incel can attribute. Comedy often pokes fun at stereotypes, of course without trying to offend.
I don't think the joke is ".. literally placing the blame .."
The joke is more light-hearted than outright "blame".
"Incel" is a modern word with negative connotation, that I don't think need be retroactively applied to all things related to rejection or attraction from a woman.
It ruins the joke.

This joke doesn't blame a woman for his inability to attract, it implies he's ugly and women are attracted to money.

Your failure was not getting the Sweet and Salty Peanut chewy granola bar. Damn good!

There wasn't the opioid epidemic we now have when those episodes came out. Those drug companies making synthetic were just getting started.
And there's no reality. Patient comes in unconscious from an unknown malady and Stamo's character is like, "Chem 7, CBC, Fent lollipop!"

Anybody watching back the hit TV series, E.R., observe how earlier in the series during an emergency the docs would ask the nurses for administration of "Oxy" and "Hydro" and later in the series they would ask for "Fent".
Street names.
Tell me the producers of those drugs did not pay off the producers of the show to fit that in.
Highly addictive drug product placement.
Unreal.

After a round of trying press interviews, Kristi Noem prefers to take time to let her hair down, take off her make-up, and really enjoy a meal for once.

Doom-scrolling inevitably leads to lemmynsfw, and though I've tried the top and left positions, I still can't quite reach.

Yeah I don't think Rodney Dangerfield, we're he alive today, would accept the "incel" brand so easily. His comedy and attitude are different. That's why it doesn't deserve an "incel bullshit" comment. It's simply a funny self-depricating type joke..
But what do I know.. maybe it wasn't even Rodney Dangerfield who came up with the joke.

🫤 I didn't say anybody "can't be" anything at all.
I said it was a funny old joke. Then I wisecracked incels are ugly people with shitty personalities. If anything, that insensitivity should be what any reply is about.
Are..are you in the same conversation as me?

Exactly. On account of he's dead. He can no longer promote anything, that's how death works.
And "incel" didn't exist yet. Not getting laid back then was due to what was known as, "being ugly and having a shitty personality".
Same as today, just not rebranded into a catchy portmanteau.

Nah, that's an old joke. Pretty funny. I wanna say Rodney Dangerfield came up with it?
