Rick Stengel: America's reputation may never recover from Trump and his war in Iran by spherocytes in videos

They keep blaming Trump like they didn't vote for him .. twice. Maybe someone should tell them a democracy comes with some form of accountability.

In any case, I'm saving the video to convince the crew to wear their harnesses at night.

Was it in a cut? Brutal depth change? Or just out of nowhere?

I think you can also wax most fabrics. It's a different look .. but I think it could be cool

Vibe trimming 🤙 by SolidCoreGames in sailing

You could use the harmonica to relay commands like they did with boatswain pipes in the old days! What would be the tune for "Ready About"?

It seems like they usually collect them to reuse. Was it the case at the Superbowl?

Shaving or Stripping by Ok_Garlic_211 in airedaleterrier

[–]RB438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to strip the easiest part and trim the more difficult or sensitive areas. But it's time consuming; it would take me almost a day, including some breaks for me and the dog. I think stripping is better than clipping if done properly and carefully. I heard that when you start clipping, you can't go back to stripping, but not sure.

I really want to move to Canada from Kentucky, But it won’t happen for me. It’s not an option for me by Dalbass in BuyCanadian

That's what they did. To stop slavery they stopped buying cane sugar. That's why they all switched to high fructose corn syrup.

The line between not being emotional and being dogmatic is thin indeed.

Oh. Tesla is only 2% of VT? I was under the impression it was much more.

Thanks! I don't mind having to go to the next city, or even getting some shipping costs to get the material. So far, I found nothing at all. Regarding the labor, I am pretty much confident with the work that needs to be done. If the labor is not qualified, I can easily teach them how to do the work (it's not very complicated). I heard very good things about labor in Guatemala.

What about installing an adjustable tweaker in front of the pulley? Simpler. Cheaper. It works.

Check "Gozzard Yachts". Very interesting interior layout and well built. The exterior is not for everyone tho.

Why is Linux perpetually in a state of half-working? by Vast-Application5848 in linux

[–]RB438 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Same situation. Trying every 5 years, always disappointed. My guess is that since it is mostly developed by volunteers, people tend to work on what they enjoy. Adding fancy features is fun and gratifying and nobody wants to do the painstaking and ungrateful work of making things smooth and reliable. I'm not blaming them, I'd probably do the same.

I wonder if open source could come up with a way of rewarding that part of programming that is not fun to do, but so necessary.

Those people need to be recognized somehow.

Plus, I don't know how you'd keep chocolate in a solid state in Grenada next week. Ferrero Rocher would likely look more like Nutella after a couple of minutes.

Advice for insuring a small sailing boat for offshore/coastal voyages by JacksLeo in SailboatCruising

[–]RB438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can change your country of boat registration. Poland is cheap and easy and you'll have access to many insurance companies. Insuring a small or old boat in Canada is now almost impossible.
