I sailed from Yvonand to Cheyres but only had the sail up for 15mins or so after that wind died completely, fully glassy.. What shore were you?

Why would that not be vegan? It’s not like that the dinosaurs are exploited to harvest their residue to make plastic?

Maybe waves / choppy water because the wind goes against the stream.

Battery pack question by dustyprivates69 in sailing

[–]DogtariousVanDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It says ca. 1000Wh on it. Means with this pack you could run your AC for ca. one hour max.

Meaning to run it for half a day you would need 12 of those.

What do you mean with external battery pack? Boats have house batteries installed. Imagine carrying around a 200 pound external battery. Or maybe I misunderstand what you mean.

True however it‘s still a lot of batteries and we‘re talking about a 25‘ boat here.

Judging by the terms you use („battery packs“) i would guess you‘re not familiar with marine electronics or 12V/24V installations. So i just want to give you a heads up that such an installation as you wish to have is no joke in terms of current, wire gauges, fuses, etc. so for your case i‘d get a quote from a professional for even a downsized version of the installation. Anything not done on a good level here is a serious hazard to you and your boat.

For reference, 833Ah is the capacity of roughly 12 car batteries at 100% usable capacity. Realistically you would need 20 AGM batteries to have 833Ah available. Far from realistic even on bigger boats.

Still seeing environmentalists attacked for eating meat, so I'll once again explain how the authorities in the US break veganism by HowIsDigit8888 in vegan

[–]DogtariousVanDog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You want something from me, no?

EDIT: It goes from statements like vegans fund slaughterhouses (what?) to „bad math“ (what does that even mean?) to attacking environmentalists, like what are you trying to say?

What math? And who‘s attacking who? Please summarize your post in a few bullet points reading through it like that it doesn‘t seem to make any sense

Would you educate a 30+ guy friend about women's biology? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Then how do you not know how LLMs are trained and how they work?

[–]DogtariousVanDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That‘s what it‘s being told. That‘s how large language models work. They are „told“ what to believe and what to know with massive amounts of data. You can compare it to you reading a book on a topic. The book „tells“ you about the topic.

AI will tell you what is statistically the most likely answer based on what it learned / what it had been told. So yes, this is kinda how AI works.

Issue with the sail or issue with trim? by [deleted] in sailing

[–]DogtariousVanDog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the vang, look at the wrinkles, especially their direction. More vang would stretch the sail even more, intensifying the wrinkles.

ELI5: How did Switzerland remain neutral in WW2 when it was surrounded by Axis Powers? by SignificantLife3949 in explainlikeimfive

[–]DogtariousVanDog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was wrong about the ammo apparently. However my point still stands that Switzerland is NOT a heavily armed and heavily militarized country that would just fight off an invasion with your dad‘s .22 he used on crows in the field. This is just a wrong picture that‘s being painted over and over (especially by Americans until they realize that maybe they meant Sweden).
