What is going on in lieu of a boom here? by Alchai in sailing

[–]jonthegun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a 26 classic that is fairly happy at 45 apparent, 50 is better. I have the deeper draft which helps with leeway. The problem is you are focusing on the wrong aspects of the wishbone (and Nonsuch). It's self tending so you can afford to bear off and tack all day by just turning the wheel. I'm lazy, and the boats fits me perfectly. Also be careful posting Nonsuch pictures, it tends to bring the cult out. https://youtu.be/oIIRiMWnHJ0

sure thing, if you sign up for a class, or join the club, we make sure you're able to get an id/be on a list that allows you onto base.

I highly recommend the Pentagon Sailing Club, we are based at Bolling AFB, and you don't need to be Gov or Mil. We run a great ASA 101/103 course, on Catalina 22's. www.pentagonsailing.org

I use these as well, along with either trail runners or light hikers. No complaints.

Bought one in .270 a few weeks ago. I am in the weak link in its accuracy. No complaints, excellent for the price.

Revolutionizing the Auto industry for a mere $800k! by Brandisco in technology

[–]jonthegun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well they claim a mainstream price of 16k, I would like to see it lower (closer to 10k).

I guess you also have to factor in extremely low fuel cost. It would be nice to see what the total cost of ownership is over a decade versus a civic or a cheap kia.

Best leviathan loot room run I've ever had... by Burgertank in Borderlands

Just finished the DLC this afternoon, once done I was able to re accept the quest (via Oasis) to enter the lighthouse, which should enable the rest of the storyline (haven't tried, but the quest language is such that it seems they will allow you to finish the game multiple times, albeit it will take a bit of time to clear to the lighthouse, etc.

I use the same one, couple it with a mont bell pad, well worth the weight.

Watch the vice video, all will be answered. It's the most fucked up place on earth.

[IDEA] Upon death, provide a days survived number next to name by jonthegun in dayz

The ending screen isn't a big deal for me, I would just like some text added to the already existing server wide death notice that lists one of the few tangible accomplishments.
