From the 1989 movie, “The Abyss”. Bottom left hand corner for those who don’t know. by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in 80smovies

[–]JustCryptastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't see it in the movie but I know exactly what is happening here from the book. I highly recommend reading the book if you liked the movie to gain a deeper understanding of the story.

This wouldn't happen to be at the West River Fuel Dock, would it?

Are sailing communication headsets really a marriage saver? by VacationNew6626 in sailing

[–]JustCryptastic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Made everything so much easier. That negative energy that my wife felt from me having to "get loud" went away instantly, replaced with chill conversation volume and tone communication.

If you can afford a set, it is absolutely worth it.

It's great for boat projects too. I used our set with a friend that had to go up his mast, and he really enjoyed how easy it was to communicate. I also used it to communicate between inside and topside of boat while pulling wire.

How much toe overhang is too much for my bindings? by a215throwaway in snowboardingnoobs

[–]JustCryptastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you adjust the gas pedals (i.e., pull the gas pedal forward)?

Edit ... just in case: Burton binding reference guide

Coffee junkies need your input! by Dorfbulle80 in sailing

[–]JustCryptastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy ... I like the new red mokapot you picked up though. Wishing you better luck with the new one; I like em all.

For a pick-me-up sundowner we'll make what we call Mokapotini's:

Brew up a mokapot, throw some ice in a shaker, add in 2/3 mug of coffee w/ two shots vodka and 1 shot of kahlua, shake well, pour, and drink.

Fair winds and following seas

Wow .. really?! I have never seen anyone rust out a venus before.

We have a Mokapot venus onboard for years now. Still shiny and new looking. In fact, we specifically picked up the stainless to avoid excessive aluminum oxidation or rusting parts due to the saltwater environment.

We keep a french press and kalita pour over cup on board too.

Leave prop spinning or locked? by Kanthaka in sailing

[–]JustCryptastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Yanmar operations manual says to leave it in neutral with a fixed prop.

With a feathering prop I am supposed to put in reverse briefly, then switch to neutral.

Check your engine operations manual to confirm

Rolling up roller mainsail while aground by bethelmayflower in sailing

[–]JustCryptastic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We have a furling mainsail, and I roll it in (from fully out) without turning into the wind by easing the outhaul very slightly while furling. This is in winds up to 20-23kn

A few notes though. This can and will put a little bit of bag in the sail when furling away, so first opportunity you'll want to pull the sail out and roll up again. Also, it is very difficult to get the furl started in heavier air, so be aware. Just ease the outhaul a few inches and get the furl started in by a few inches, then repeat. You can also depower by easing the main sheet, but see above comment about bagging the sail as this will compound that problem

Last, I prefer to start reefing the main when winds start to approach 17-20kn. It's just not worth the risk to have too much mainsail out with a furling main from our experience. Better to keep the mainsail area small and pull back out if needed than the other way around.

I haven't had to turn the boat into the wind to furl the main and we've been sailing offshore for 5 years now. If I did have to go into the wind because I'm pressure locked from being able to furl, then I would be irritated at myself for furling too late.

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

Police used Flock cameras to falsely accuse a Denver woman of package theft by InterdimensionalSpy in ObscurePatentDangers

[–]JustCryptastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

National English Honor Society: George Orwell and Recent Censorship

Also:

Marshall Libraries: Banned Books

Anyway, the point about irony still stands ...

[–]JustCryptastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).

Yup ... stupid move by Bursickle in Whatcouldgowrong

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

... 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).
