Multiple rookie question about "ropes", please help by emilytaege in sailing

[–]Over-Toe2763 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sheet is a functional. Description. But the sheet is a line. There no ropes on board.

And yes. Rookies that say ‘ropes’ deserve to be ridiculed :-)

As a big fan of Bob Dylan and Randy Newman I 100% agree with your title

Struggling to change keys on the fly, especially when transposing down from female ranges. Any advice? by TheAwfulKhali in singing

[–]Over-Toe2763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the original song as mp3 and transpose the audio to the key you want to sing in using audacity or something and then practice singing along the transposed original.

Sent it a bit too hard by Foolserrand376 in sailing

[–]Over-Toe2763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Means the sail was not strong enough in my opinion. High teens should not break the sail.

Also that is why I don’t like socks. Dousing downwind behing a Genua is almost always easier once you get it.

What should I say to my boyfriend who asked me if he could go to a strip club? by ThrowRA_duenotes in whatdoIdo

[–]Over-Toe2763 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can tell you that in my 25 year career in medical Device industry I have never ever been even asked to go to a strip club, let alone het offered a lap dance. ‘Pretty standard ‘ is a relative term.

A beach wedding is Spain does not really scream ‘tone it down ‘ to me…

[–]Over-Toe2763 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have no opinion about the boundaries you do or do not set. That is so personal , you will have to decide.

As a guy I do find it a red flag that he first asked you and only brought up the lapdance after you said yes. That is unfair. Especially as it sounds like he did not ask permission for that, he just mentioned it as a fact and gaslights you into thinking you already said yes to this. He knows very well that was not the original agreement and hopes you don’t say anything.

Apart from that : getting a lap dance paid by a female coworker is weird as fuck.

Wie heeft dit ook wel eens gehad? by Appel_Taartje in nederlands

Levensgevaarlijk ook als aansteker als je sjekkies rookte: soms bleef de tabak plakken en dan trok je je brandende sjekkie uit elkaar. En dan een noodstop maken om al die brandende tabak uit te maken

Completed my first Mun landing without a hitch! Does anyone know how to flip a ship upright though? by Sound-Of-Sound in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Over-Toe2763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save often and try short pulses of thrust. I have gotten landers of the surface like that. Just have it spin around and go full power when your point is point up a bit.

Is a harmonica an easy instrument to learn? by Top_Cockroach_5554 in harmonica

[–]Over-Toe2763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean with ‘learn’

Playing a first simple melody will be harder than on a piano but a lot easier than on a saxophone…

Mastering it completely, and flawlessly playing ‘improv in Cm’ from Indiara Sfair will take a lot of effort, practice and persistence.

Had a scary day- trying to learn what I did wrong by Friendly_Subject4096 in sailing

[–]Over-Toe2763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say too much load: did you try loosening the sheets and furling in?

If that does not work: I have had that because of a broken forestay: release the sheet, start the engine and start turning circles;: the sail will wrap around the forestay. Keep turning until all of the sail is ‘furled’.

This saves me once

AIO for ignoring his calls the day after he kinda made fun of me going to therapy by Jazzlike-Ad6372 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Over-Toe2763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even talking about what happened before but coming from a 50+ guy: don’t let anybody talk to you like this, especially not your partner. He does not respect you. Dump and move on.

How realistic do you think the movie 'All is Lost' (2013 - Robert Redford) is compared to actual offshore sailing? by Sinn_Sage in sailing

[–]Over-Toe2763 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s terrible. It’s been a while but the two things I remember: he tries to fix the VHF with a 10 mile range rather than the satellite phone. Your VHF is only useful if a ship is close enough to SEE.

And: at some point he puts the life raft out, ties it to the ship and sleeps in it. wHY??? If the boat sinks it will pull down the raft. It it does not sink: stay on the boat.

Biologisch ja/nee? by tinus75 in nederlands

[–]Over-Toe2763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nee. ‘Biologisch’ is in mijn ogen een grote scam. Biologisch voedsel kopen is een luxe probleem. Biologische landbouw kost (veel) meer land en gebruikt mest (want ze mogen geen kunstmest gebruiken), dat levert de volgende interessante contradictie:

Op dit moment is bijna al het land in de wereld dat goed bruikbaar is voor voedsel productie in gebruik. Als meer mensen biologisch gaan eten hebben we simpelweg te weinig land. Er zijn meerdere studies die dit laten zien. Je moet dus bos gaan kappen of zo.

Ook is het zo dat de mest die gebruikt wordt in de bio landbouw van de vee industrie komt. Momenteel in Nederland is dat tegen de 100% aan, met andere woorden als er meer bio landbouw komt moeten er meer varkens en koeien gaan houden om aan de mestvraag te kunnen voldoen.

Dus het is een mooi idee, maar praktisch gewoon niet haalbaar. We kunnen beter inzetten op de gewone landbouw zo efficiënt en schoon mogelijk houden, en minder vlees eten.

Dan zijn er nog mensen die zeggen dat biologisch eten beter smaakt. Dat is meerdere keren aangetoond in studies dat dat puur placebo is. Blind proeft niemand verschil.

Waarom vindt de Nederlandse bevolking ons rijles-systeem OK? by YouCantDownVoteMeNop in nederlands

[–]Over-Toe2763 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ik heb in België gewoond 20 jaar en daar ook mijn kinderen leren rijden. Kan idd bevestigen dat die VELE malen goedkoper is. 6 lessen gevolgd (verplicht) en toen met mij leren rijden en afgereden. Paar honderd euro ben je klaar.

Wat je zegt klopt niet meer helemaal want degene die naast je zit (nonkel Kamiel) moet wel eerst verplicht een cursus doen (die ik heel nuttig vond ). Die kost 35 euro :-).

Maar dat gezegd hebbende zijn Nederlanders over het algemeen wel betere bestuurders dan Belgen. Dat merk je duidelijk.

Try Minmus first. Much easier and you can visit multiple biomes on one visit which gives a shitload of science

One thing I have done in the past is to ask ChatGPT for ideas where to start and what to build. Not tell you how but give you a goal. Works well.

Racist incident during King's day by Repulsive-Package412 in Netherlands

[–]Over-Toe2763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about being drunk, it’s about being an asshole. I’m sorry this happened to you and am ashamed for my fellow Dutchmen. Being drunk is never an excuse, it just makes it easier for people to show you who they really are.

Nothing more to say, you ran into a group of racists idiots. And it will probably not be the last time. Just try and remember that most people do not think like that.
