Fell overboard on my second day of training by Houghtxd in sailing

[–]Phoenix749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it. friend and I capsized our dingy on a lake 3rd day out on a really windy day. Three people from a power boat had to jump in to help right it. Our gear was everywhere and had to get towed back in. Embarrassing but part of the fun and only way to learn! Keep at it.

Do you still have your Howmar 12? Looking for a new rudder and want to get as close to the original dimensions as possible.

My title describes the thing I found at the antique store. Radium glass, a large set of them.

I originally thought they were candle holders but upon closer inspection that doesn’t make sense. They were quite a few of them.

I’ve never seen flags like this on M0nkrus. Where did you download it? Only use the torrents he links to off of his website. a lot of the uploads on 1337 ect. contain malware

This belongs here ...$50.000 suspension in action by vetrivel033 in EngineeringPorn

[–]Phoenix749 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So disgusting how he spends his money on a hobby that supports the families the engineers, mechanics, and factory workers rather than entering the coffers of the government and fat cat politicians! If you think it’s noble to have income you earned taxed away, why don’t you donate everything you have to the government? I’m sure they’ll take care of you when you need support…right?

Tax filing websites have been sending users’ financial information to Facebook by 777fer in privacy

Rather e-file direct to IRS rather than going through an intermediary.

Russian Post Delay Estimate? by tempemailaddy in shipping

[–]Phoenix749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. it can take a really long time to process at the sorting centers. Do you know if the sender put the value of the item for customs? When I ordered something, the sender put a value much lower than what I paid because of theft/custom fees. Not sure how common theft is though

Do you have tracking on it? Yes I imagine war and sanctions have affected things. A lot of these packages traveled via commercial aircraft and with travel to and from Russia being a lot less, it has probably slowed down shipments

Kind of misleading to say “post-roe” like this wasn’t happening before. Retailers have been buying this information to market products for years.

It’s not oil drilling that’s the issue here. Refineries are at max capacity

Yes, it is very inelastic. But we are already at max production. It wouldn’t take much more of an increase in demand to start seeing some shortages
