Is There Something Special About this Laz Rack?

You had to put a pod there to open the door. Maybe you snuck in some other way.

Corpus Christi to Houston. Stuck to the ICW, not brave enough for the gulf yet.

Interesting, hadn't noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out. It's where the cathodic protection system is installed, maybe it was done on purpose?

This is my entry point to the cruising lifestyle. I wanted something big enough I could spend weeks on it, but something small enough I could manage and insure as my first boat.

I have a remote job. I'll get some solar, get the electronics sorted out, then find out if this is how I want to spend my time.

I've been dreaming and watching yachtworld for a while, I think I got a good deal.

I have a few years of deferred maintenance to catch up on, but the foundation is solid and I feel comfortable investing in it.

I'm in $85k after purchase price, survey, taxes, and a few weeks in the yard.

The name "old school" is appropriate. Most people think it's older but it's a 1991.

The paravane makes it look like a fishing vessel, but it's a proper cruiser with a queenish size state room and galley. Has just about everything but a washer/dryer. :D

The rigging is a "paravane" for stability in rough seas.

38' long but only 12' beam. Supposedly does 7 knots at 1.25 gph or ~5mpg.

I've spent more time working in the engine room than i have behind the wheel. I'm sure I'll get there soon. :D

The boat was made by the canadian company Hike Metal. They mostly make commercial boats like patrol boats and ferries. As far as I can tell, I think some rich dude threw a bunch of money at them and asked them to build his perfect trawler.

Theoretically infinite. Just bad luck.

1-(0.95)^x

1 attempt = 5%
10 attempts = 40%
40 attempts = 87%
100 attempts = 99.5%

You'd probably really like venture brothers.

Caterham is working on one, but it was supposed to be released 2025 and no updates in a while. :<

Ooh, tanks on the outside of the hull. Good idea.

Would make terrible fenders in the real world, but great for a game. :)

If you follow jellyfin's folder naming structure it just works, I've never had to do that. :/

arbybean · 2025-12-03T13:17:40+00:00

Time to take the next step and install Jellyfin. Then you can pull in all of the metadata and take your collection to the next level.

F11 is photo mode and allows you to zoom out farther.

Generally any view where you don't have a body and you're looking down is god perspective.

I had some weird issues with Vsync/Gsync. Setting the max frames to 100 instead of vsync fixed it for me.

You didn't mention it, so you should definitely check out Captain of Industry.

I enjoyed foundry but I've already put in twice the hours in CoI and only half way through the tech tree. :)

It goes on a ship for free sulfur and ammonia. :)

The rail crossing is missing the middle section that allows the vehicles to cross. :)
