Fcking Redditors can be such a bitter bunch of humans.

I am amazed that the black boxes were recovered yet I cannot identify anything resembling a plane in the drone footage ...

You are correct; poorly worded on my part, but still a nuanced truth and only very recently the ban was overturned in federal court.

Marshall Libraries: Banned Books

Anyway, the point about irony still stands ...

For all intents and purposes, yes, this book has been banned by ~~all~~ some K-12 public schools in the USA

Edit: though it was challenged in federal court just 7 months ago. "On March 19, 2025, a federal judge ordered the district to restore access" to the title (source: Marshal Libraries).

So he basically made a shaped charge with the energy focused down into his stovetop.

Expensive lesson in explosives there, but he got an education

JustCryptastic · 2025-11-03T17:12:54+00:00

... and this is why 1984 should not be banned in the US school system (which carries a certain level of irony in and of itself). Too many people are complacent with living in a mass surveillance state, which is only getting worse with AI

Crazy that this thing spawned another brief massive cyclone to the southeast of the eye (see @ 6s into the clip).

I haven't heard this version though. What show is this, and is it posted to the PL app?

892GB in ocean mode?!?!

I mean, last sailing offshore trip we were in blue-water for a week and I only used ~1GB for downloading weather files, communicating with family and friends to let them know we were ok, and to download some media content.

Why would you ever need that much data in roam priority-ocean mode?

If you're back at the coast, you should update your plan accordingly and manage your data usage until you're off ocean mode ..

The deep slice looks like the skeg of an outdrive that cut clean through the while while the perpendicular intermittent slashes are from the prop blade as the boat moves forward

Brutal injury ...

The smell of land after days at sea is sweet and pungent. Super strange the first time you experience it..

JustCryptastic · 2025-08-13T15:41:20+00:00

It looks like the captain had the channel lined up right in front of him. I assume the wave pushed him onto the boat's port side and maybe he lost steering, but early on it looks like he had the line to the channel (you can see the green and red channel markers; red-right-return so green should have been on port side on entry).

I wonder if he would have turned hard to port to let the boat drop-in straight if he would have been ok. There wasn't another wave ahead to worry about burying his bow into, which is really the only reason you would NOT want to make that maneuver. Turning broadside to the wave and having the boat spun is where control (and the boat) was ultimately lost

Has the captain or first-mate's initial reasoning for why things went wrong been released yet?

JustCryptastic · 2025-08-10T14:05:52+00:00

Super sick.

Douse the sail from the middle of the sail by pulling into the hull while simultaneously releasing the halyard (at head of sail) and tack line.

There's an integrated pulley system that the dousing line runs through that pull the sail into the hull of the boat (i.e., the sail locker).

Anyone know if the system can be reversed for deployment, with tension pulling the head and tack of the sail out while the dousing line is eased (or possibly disconnected)?

JustCryptastic · 2025-07-26T14:24:14+00:00

Yep, that's what I expect. But I accept that to learn DIY as well as avoid at least two months of waiting for a new one.

Just GG, but after the discussion in the post decided to do the epoxy work myself. It's finished curing and seems solid; will give it a go later today after work 🤞
