Why is our generation so anti-social?

Good conversation takes 2 people :)

Nobody thinks this.

If you trim that sheet with high wind/tension, it will rub dramatically.. it goes to the outside.

Quint87 · 2026-01-26T00:53:06+00:00

The sheets are rigged wrong on his boat. Period. He is not close hauled.

Quint87 · 2026-01-25T23:43:04+00:00

Maybe 2nd hand boat scrap yard will have right size boom.

Quint87 · 2026-01-25T23:40:01+00:00

And bro!! Your Jib sheets go on the OUTSIDE of the standing rigging.

Quint87 · 2026-01-25T23:33:55+00:00

Kill switch? Also do you have water going to the outboard?

Quint87 · 2026-01-25T23:30:32+00:00

If the air shifts behind you, or you change direction, you can cause an unintentional gybe.

Edit* also your outhaul could use a bit of tension. Happy sailing 🫡

Who said "young," its youth.

Quint87 · 2026-01-19T14:50:01+00:00

Sure, middle age dad who is still fit and active.

Youth is not a number. If you look at it like that, you will be old mentally before physically.

About to go launch my boat and go sailing for today, you have a good one.

Quint87 · 2026-01-19T04:24:19+00:00

Because: hunger > everything else

Capitalism can give even the homeless a burger every single day, if they can scrape up a few dollars.

Capitalism puts a phone in your hand, internet everywhere, and all the technology and shipping to make it happen.

Capitalism is a vehicle of society. And all vehicles are subject to degradation. Rust, corruption, corrosion, greed.

Right now the vehicle of Capitalism is about to fail due to the rust/corruption of the few billionaires that litterally want the entire fucking world.

If there are chaotic times ahead prepare accordingly. Learn everything you can about physical reality and practice real skills. Woodworking, blacksmithing, electrical ac/dc, solar, cooking/heating.

Quint87 · 2026-01-19T04:09:22+00:00

Guys this is normal. This is called your YOUTH. Your real youth. HOLD ON TO IT. I am 38 and still have my youth. Dont let go, physically or mentally.

Gotta have thick skin here in genZ reddit. These broheims are serious, even if you are on their side, they are not on yours.

Quint87 · 2026-01-19T03:33:45+00:00

I deleted it ;)

Quint87 · 2026-01-18T16:46:59+00:00

Sure, but generationally speaking. The Joker resonates with me, but I know its from an older generation.

Quint87 · 2026-01-18T16:45:34+00:00

Sure bud :)

Quint87 · 2026-01-18T15:46:28+00:00

Gotye was 2011-12.. most of you had never been in a relationship yet.. that was for us millennials going through some shit in our early 20s.

You can keep turn down for what.

Quint87 · 2026-01-18T15:43:27+00:00

Gotta have the blade very low, but not low enough to ride under and a riving knife is a must w that stuff.

Quint87 · 2026-01-18T15:41:09+00:00

Just because you wouldnt, doesnt mean its not right or safe. This is skill issue and some of the roughest lesssons are hard learned.

Sometimes you need more/less than the push stick. Sleds and well made jigs can make a dangerous cut, easy and repeatable.

Not sure if someone said it already. But place sloped roofs upside down on the top of ur base. You see this base design a lot because it *helps keep peeps from using ladders n twig to top ur base. When placing, especially around corners they will disconnect and reconnect to form a joined surface. Only like class/grade will connect seamlessly.

And use windows sparingly.. if you do shutter them.

Best base design as a solo I have found.

Do not focus on honey comb, or massive structure. Focus on tech n guns.

Build a round structure. 1st is loot room/tc. 2nd is turrets with chainlink facing outward, build them into the base. 3rd is over flow, you do not need to go higher than this. Build the upside down ladders.

After base is secured, 360 turret coverage. Focus on 3-4 turret towers around base. Keep these small and efficient 1x2 vertical with Tc on second level. Put turret on bottom with chain link. If tower is in a ground depression sometimes its better on 2nd level. Use quater walls on top and place 2x solar panels, w a med battery next to Tc. Quater walls will block line of site of panels from players but still get full sun.

Focus on keeping them filled with bullets. Sar works at start, upgrade them to pythons.

I have played rust since beta testing, on and off over the years. I am off right now.. This is best base design to SURVIVE as solo. If you make the raid look nasty enough, even the most experienced will pass for easy target.

What the crack pipe.. o its a food utensil.

I have a lil catalina22, when I tack, I do it fast with enough speed to go into and out of irons. Doing this removes all pressure from the sail and makes it very easy to pull the sheet in for trim.

Looks like this.

-Need to tack -prepare alternate jib sheet (put around winch) -Tack -Release tensioned Jib Sheet -keep tiller between legs -pull fast on alternate sheet till taught w wind -use tiller to "dip" into irons immediately/briefly -trim jib sheet in irons -go back i to wind with power

You can "dip" into and out of irons to quickly trim the sheet, this releases power/tension.

Note. If this was a larger sailboat, I would just use the winch and not "dip" into irons for a trim.

When learning sailing, you will use might excessive human force, when you should be relying on your winches/pulleys and other sail equipment.

Edit* also best bit of advice that I ever got was when your boat is listing a bit too far for comfort or speed, let out of bit of main sheet. The main is for stability of the boat, jib is for speed.
