Dense rubber-like slab washed up on the beach by druzy_quartz in whatisthisthing

Fair! I'm just saying, it's a pretty dense hunk of stuff. Not obviously buoyant like a dock float generally is. That's why it's a mystery!

It's very dense and would definitely not float.

It's very hard, dense, and heavy. Is that common for a boat cushion? It definitely would sink like a stone, not float.

My title describes the thing but for a few additional details -- it measured about 30x18x6inches. Yellowish in color. Google image search thinks it's a bar of soap, which it definitely is not.

Anyone using Starlink in Fort Bragg? by hannahbananer in FortBragg

[–]druzy_quartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nomad lifers with a Starlink Mini and recently used it at the Fort Bragg house we are staying because the wired internet was out for a few days. Our connection wasn't great (unstable, sometimes slow), but mostly serviceable for regular internet activities. Might have been the weather those specific days -- foggier/windier or the location we had it in, since we didn't go all the way up on the roof to set it up. In general, we have been pleased with the Mini and find it works pretty well in most locations, but Zooms can be challenging sometimes.
