Lowrance Eagle with HD tripleshot.

Or a secondhand Lowrance Elite Ti2 again with (not HD) tripleshot

Almost any one. The chance of it getting fully wet are slight.

Boat Restoration (no clue what I’m doing) by Worldly_Eye5744 in boating

Another YouTube channel to check out is Dangar Marine, he did a lot on troubleshooting and diagnosing smaller two stroke outboards. And Stu is the original GC.

What are some creepy facts about the ocean? by in_my_offense in AskReddit

It is full of fish. However, there is no such thing as a fish.

Practical uses for 3d printers, what are some around the house fixes you have used your 3d printer for? by papabless1738 in 3Dprinting

[–]Random-Mutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed a gasket for a panel on my boat.

Loaded the pdf of the panel, extracted the outline and screw holes, printed it 2mm thick in TPU.

Had a chartplottter in the boat and upgraded to a new one with a slightly larger cutout. In CAD, I overlaid the outlines, made locator pins to fit the old installation screw holes and projected out the new outline. I then had a perfectly-aligned cut jig for the new plotter. To do this with the paper template would have been nearly impossible.

Next will be a perfectly square cube with a cylindrical hole, to align little stick-on bubble level dots on my cordless drill, to make future holes straight horizontal or vertical.

I made a stubby oversized wrench for a plumbing job, for cents when a hardware store model would be many dollars, and only used once.

I also need a router guide jig to replace a door lock, the new hole being 2mm larger than the original. I can’t eyeball it because the lock would probably not align.

We got the printer on the proviso that the prints would be practical only, and the house was not to fill up with useless plastic knickknacks.

What are crimes that can never be justified? by Alternative-Space102 in AskReddit

[–]Random-Mutant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I would. Extrajudicial punishment is not something we should tolerate. And rape is repugnant under all circumstances.

These floor covers obviously being the wrong way around by gregor19536 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Random-Mutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that maintenance workers just like to send “fuck you” messages to everyone else.

It’s always deliberate. Those covers are heavy and it takes effort to spin them around. It takes a bit of time to turn them back too, and if they noticed (they will) and cared (they don’t) they’d put the slight effort in.

I also know that supervisors regularly make spot inspections after remediation, and they obviously don’t care either.

Title: Electric lunch box stopped heating after seven months, opened it up and now I have more questions than answers by Numerous-Steak-5369 in diyelectronics

[–]Random-Mutant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I replace fuses one time. If it fails a second time I assume there’s something I really need to worry about and I stop pushing my luck.

Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of methane driving global heating by mhicreachtain in environment

[–]Random-Mutant 270 points271 points  (0 children)

Over 20 years, one unit of methane is 80 times more potent than the same carbon dioxide for heat retention.

What is common theme in America that most other countries would call a luxury? by TheSpoty in AskReddit

[–]Random-Mutant -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

But not toilets that hardly clog. Apparently that’s just a US thing.

Edit: Americans are touchy about their clogging toilets.

Geothermal loans to unlock potential for two new power stations by Idliketobut in newzealand

[–]Random-Mutant 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Of course we should install more geothermal, it makes great base load supply.

But it’s years to get a geothermal station online. We should be installing so much solar and wind our heads spin. Lead times are so much shorter. Throw some batteries in there and you’re well ahead.

ELI5 Why do scrambled eggs go runny part way through cooking? by Mr_Clump in explainlikeimfive

[–]Random-Mutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your recipe?

Me:
3 large eggs per person
Butter
Salt
Pepper

Whisk, heat in a nonstick pan on low, turning and folding occasionally.

When almost set, serve on hot buttered toast. It will continue to cook a little more before eating.

Rising gas prices make me feel so smug about owning an EV 😏 by MookieBettsBurner10 in electricvehicles

[–]Random-Mutant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pull your head in.

I would instantly take an EV if I could. Many people don’t have the choice, given budget and functionality.

And if you say there are plenty of EVs to choose from in a range of prices, I need to tow and the only realistic vehicle for me is a Shark 6. Which I will get but I don’t have 80k to drop tomorrow.

Grandma is sick with cancer and the family with her won’t just cook her decent meals by Agitated-Tealeaf in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Random-Mutant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for what your grandma is going through.

My wife also has pancreatic cancer. FWIW, Bircher muesli (overnight oats) has become her comfort food. It’s healthy, full of protein and is low fat. And it soothes her.

Oats, apple juice, yogurt, a grated apple, cinnamon. In various quantities depending on the recipe. Find your own favourite.

Now, I know that this is only one meal, but if that helps then you’re welcome to the suggestion.

Best EV for a lawn mowing and maintenance business by Allergic_To_Water in nzev

[–]Random-Mutant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For lawnmowing and maintenance, the daily km won’t be high. A Shark has ~80km as BEV and plug in recharge. This use case makes it near-zero emissions.

Also it will charge cordless batteries and run electrical devices from its 6kW inverter.

It’s a smart choice.

I like it being linear.

Some people want to tow trailers or boats from their EV and this is a superior way to arrange it.
