 @neauoire Is this Lewis Channel? I'm curious what you're waiting to happen. There are multiple turns per day, right?   So, @abnercoimbre kindly asked me to come talk with Handmade Seattle again this year. In response to the recent mass layoffs and crumbling tech landscape, Abner suggested that I come present some thoughts I might have on different ways to adapt and live. See you there 🌻 Nov 20-22nd, 2024

  @neauoire @abnercoimbre should be a great talk - y'all continue to amaze me with the resourcefulness and adaptiveness I've marked the calendar. I'll hope to be there barring anything crazy like yet another layoff or something ridiculous. Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand: — Edna St. Vincent Millay When we changed our mainsail in 2019, we kept the old battens. We've used them for a variety of projects over the years. We often get asked how we spend our times during long transits, there's ALWAYS something to fix. Our raincoats(Guy Cotton & Grundens) both came with the same defect, because that's what you get when you buy things nowadays. Both can't tighten the hood because one is missing terminating to the chord, the other straight up doesn't have tensioners. So that's what we do underway, we harvest parts from other things, and fix stuff. It surprised me to see that I could just pull the chord terminators on the Grundens coast(orange) straight out, they didn't bother making a knot inside the things. It's so common that we have to "finish up" the products that we get. It's like these clothes are in Beta, and we patch them upstream with fixes.  Per BBC: "Saudi authorities have permitted the use of lethal force to clear land for a futuristic desert city being built by dozens of Western companies, an ex-intelligence officer has told the BBC. Col Rabih Alenezi says he was ordered to evict villagers from a tribe in the Gulf state to make way for The Line, part of the Neom eco-project. One of them was subsequently shot and killed for protesting against eviction.

" #dystopia #SaudiArabia We motored out of Ballet Bay in a calm, but I could see a dark blue band on the water way ahead, a look through the binoculars revealed a few whitecaps. Um, there was plenty of wind out there! We expected little to no wind, but got 15-20 knots on the nose, like yesterday (forecast called for 5-15 knots). This wind permitted an afternoon of close-hauled sailing to our next anchorage :>! We're now anchored in Sturt Bay on Texada Island, with plans to leave tomorrow for Desolation Sound.  *jankenpon to figure out who gets to leave the blankets to put a log in the stove* A concatenative programming capable of running Factor's implementation of the Y combinator, hosted on the 300 lines implementation of Modal, by @typeswitch and @capital:  @neauoire I still cannot get over how clean @typeswitch's implementation was. I should add my sierpinski triangle to this page. Really show off that there isn't limits to how high it can build.

@alderwick Oh nice! Thank you. I'll replace the one I have on XXIIVV with it.
