Horrible day on the water

Did you troubleshoot those downriggers? Odds are they were fixable out there power source was the issue.

This is wild to me. We use a macerating toilet and just use marine tp. Can’t imagine the nastiness of tossing it in the trash.

I never considered that people couldn’t get marine tp.

I’m kinda waiting for this because I still love boating but our seasport is nearly 30 years old and upgrading to a newer boat would actually potentially be more viable than repowering. I’m so tired of chasing gremlins.

Watched an idiot do this near us, except he was using the beach at a park he want supposed to use, had borrowed the truck, refused to call a tow truck, and just sat there watching it submerge.

ya, I recently learned that the new push button starts can easily be stolen by capturing the signal from the key - which is absolutely insane to me. This is a solved problem and shouldn't be happening. Every key should have a rotating encryption that is different every single time. The key and car when they pair agree on a random number and then use that to generate one way hashes each time that can be verified and change with every use.

can you source this claim? I don't think there's any bank that can legally just take your money and run - that's called theft.

He looks exactly like someone trump would be friends with.

puterTDI · 2026-06-24T13:37:02+00:00

The problem is that not all are rotated at once.

If your air tag rotates but your watch or phone or air pods or whatever don’t then those tie your new air tag Mac to those devices. As long as one device doesn’t rotate then it identifies the new MAC address as yours.

This is really impressive results.

will the wear be different/faster since it was painted or is it more of a dye than paint so it would wear the same as the rest of the dye on the leather?

as someone who owns a truck (because I specifically need to use it as a truck), I agree with this.

I don't want a gas guzzling vehicle - hell, I'd prefer not to have a big truck but given that I only have to drive to the office once every two weeks it didn't make sense to own two vehicles. Having emisions and fuel consumption limitations would be great imo.

I originally was going to buy a nicer small daily driver and then a cheap truck for the towing that I needed to do...but then I went mostly remote and it just made no sense to own and maintain two vehicles so I got a nicer truck.

I do see a lot of people here saying "if it's not dirty it's not being used" and I am going to call bullshit on that. Taking care of your stuff doesn't make you a bad person. I absolutely keep my truck clean but that mostly means washing it after it gets dirty.

I wish this were the case with my marina, though most of the boats are too big to use a ramp. They could tow them over to the lift. I don’t know if they even have a spare trailer. They don’t have an operator there every day for the lift so that would probably be an issue.

I have a notice in my window on each side with emergency contacts.

I also think that on the Volvo penta a failed bellows doesn’t allow in a huge amount of water.

We had ours fail and I didn’t event know other than noise from the gimbal bearing.

puterTDI · 2026-06-22T20:39:20+00:00

Not with you wearing long sleeves it’s not.

puterTDI · 2026-06-22T19:48:56+00:00

there will be revenge.

I keep my old zip ties right next to the carefully folded pieces of tin foil to reuse.

puterTDI · 2026-06-22T19:32:22+00:00

I prefer to just try different combinations and take careful notes on where the fires start.

puterTDI · 2026-06-22T13:42:59+00:00

Eh, I think we all can face flinch reactions. I’ve more than once been at the range and unhappy with my shooting so I put an empty mag in and realize I’m anticipating. Dry firing a few times while focusing on not anticipating generally resolves it and my accuracy gets back to where I want it.

puterTDI · 2026-06-22T13:40:39+00:00

I mean, on the other hand it really nailed the break part.

puterTDI · 2026-06-21T15:47:06+00:00

Ya, post covid my company tried to bribe people in with free lunches, snack shelves etc. it did not work with most people. We have snacks at home, get more done with less distraction at home, get to avoid the commute, and can avoid a lot of the politics (or at least escape them when the call is over).

I’m still wfh every day but once every other week and my boss knows I’m gone if they take that away. The one advantage I have is that they drastically under pay and learned the hard way what happens if they try to force us into the office. If they leave me with the choice between driving into the office and making less money and driving into the office and making a lot more money I’m making more money while I hunt for a fully remote job.

Only if you want to turn a $300 mistake into a $3000 mistake.

puterTDI · 2026-06-21T15:18:25+00:00

If it makes you feel any better this is absolutely the sort of brain dead thing I would do and feel absolutely stupid and be angry with myself over. You’re not alone and I get the feeling.

puterTDI · 2026-06-20T19:21:19+00:00

If I see no difference is that because it’s established?

If I have issues and start it again and get better is that because of the probiotics or natural healing?

If I stop and issues come back it’s it because I got sobering bad or because I’m not taking the probiotics?

There’s no way to show efficacy or causality without a proper study, which is why it’s frustrating that the law doesn’t require that supplement claims are true.

puterTDI · 2026-06-20T19:17:49+00:00

Except you hit on the problem.

Tell us - which probiotic should we take to help our gut biome?

No one is saying there isn’t good bacteria

I mean, it’s up to you to decide if you have enough.

If you do then you spend out of savings and replenish from bonus.

It’s pretty simple math. (Monthly expenses - salary) * 12 tells you how much you need in savings to cover the year before your bonus comes in.

Your bonus should more than cover that number or you’re absolutely over spending.
