@rek wow, it looks so cool with everything in one book like this :)

R E K

Started processing the short comic sequence. :neofox_cofe:

Hakazi being overly dramatic about his headache.

Just released the list of changes and updates to the Hundred Rabbits projects for March 2024.

Made some mochi for the first time today :>...

@rek Exciting, looks great! Watching a group of people hammer away at rice on Itsukuahima to make mochi was wonderful but may have skewed my impression of how practical it'd be to make at home.

@rek a Figure Eight Bend grows up to fill the whole space :)

@rek Aw, that's cute! How did you do the automatic redirect after a few seconds? I can't seem to find anything in the source code...

@rek nice! Thanks for the write up! I think we’ll try getting the keg version working for this summer.

@rek I'm curious about your decision to get rid of the fridge, did you write about that anywhere?

@rek In April, I will start renovating mine. A 30 year old boat.

A good day for solar cooking :>.

R E K

Was cooking some chocolate chip cake. Now I got a bunch of tube cakes :>.

C.B.Leslie

@rek stupid powerful sun, trying to help you make cakes.

R E K

Currently reducing some pomegranate juice to make a syrup, the boat smells sweet and it is so so distracting :neofox_googly_drool:

"The Boeing 737 Max is an example of where competition actually led to worse long-term results. Because the pressure to prioritize speed over innovation resulted in a flawed product that claimed nearly 350 lives, and endangered hundreds more. The problem wasn’t that Boeing wanted to make a more sustainable plane. It was that Boeing used sustainability as merely a tool on its quest for profit. And the company, consumers, and the climate paid as a result."

@rek just watched "Downfall: The case against Boeing", great breakdown of everything Boeing has done to wash off its wroingdoings since the merger.

the 737 max was an attempt to quickly rehash the existing 737 design to compete with a recent airbus release: retrofitting a 40 year old design with a new engine.

the boeing whistleblower josh barnett was found dead a couple weeks back.

boeing got away scott free after paying 2bn USD in fines. the then ceo walked away with 62m USD.

Sawa's Breath, a song in Ilken(Solresol) from Wiktopher.

Fasol faresifa dolafado resolmi
▪️All birds are hid and gone,
Sisimi dolafado silala
▪️As clouds blacken the sky,
Mimiremi fadomido dore sifasol
▪️Like a mountain I wait,
Fa sisire domifami
▪️For sawa's breath.
Fasol reremisol resisi
▪️All sand is still,
Mimiremi fadofado sisimi fasollare mila
▪️As a lonely cloud floats by,
Mimiremi faresifa dore sifasol
▪️Like a bird I wait,
Fa sisire domifami
▪️For sawa's breath.

@rek

That's really cool! Can it be sung, too? Do the notes sound good, or are they kinda random?

R E K

Sometimes I get really sick of my own bullshit.

@rek sometimes I'm one of the characters, sometimes the other. always both!

Come back later, I'm fermenting.

"To avoid a collision on the water with another boat, look at the other boat and the land behind it. Pick out a tall fixed object on the land behind the boat. From one spot on your boat, watch the other boat's movement relative to that fixed object. If after a minute or two of watching, the other boat does not move relative to that fixed object, you can conclude you're on a collision course with that boat."

From Defensive Boating, by Ken Taylor (Excerpted from Small Boat Journal-July, 1990)

@rek Interesting. I learned it with "from a spot on the boat, locate the other boat relative to *a fixed detail on _your_ boat* "> no change = collision course.
I find it easier, as you don't need background view.

Nicolas Bouilleaud

@rek @joachim C’est le principal truc dont je me souviens de mon permis bateau :) Ça marche aussi en regardant l’angle par rapport à *son propre bateau*: si l’autre est à un azimut qui ne change pas (par exemple, “à 2h”) alors qu’on est en mouvement, c’est qu’on est sur une trajectoire de collision.

Autre détail amusant: ça marche aussi en voiture ou à vélo.

@rek “Constant bearing, closing range,” is how my grandfather phrased it.

I'm still browsing through the Yamaha 33 sailboat manual I found recently, and holy crap, I just read that the icebox has a capacity of 170 L (45 US Gal)!!

That's the SAME amount as our main fresh water tank XD! Why'd they make it so damn big :neofox_baa:

(Right now we don't use it as a fridge, it's just a chasm that houses all of our pickled goods and some condiments, but it really is just a terrible space).

R E K

Some clippings from an old Yamaha sailboat promotional brochure.

Dev & I replaced all of the wiring aboard our Y33 last winter, and I've got to say... the 'integral electrical conduits' they're raving about *sounds* great, but in reality we couldn't use ANY of them to pass the new wiring XD...

Not sure any of the builders expected the boat to live to be 42 years old.

Love the drawings in the brochure, this one's especially neat.

Devil Lu Linvega

@rek tight conducts to pass wires sound great on paper.

They should have phrased it like "Our cost-cutting duct taping of house-grade wire in tight conduits will ensure that you have to cut othe walls open when repairs need to be made"

Ed Davies

@rek What was the problem with re-using the conduits?

Apart from anything else, I'd think modern wiring ought to lighter than old stuff with NEMA2000, LED lights, etc.

@avi last summer you shared an online resource for visualizing currents in bc, do you still have that link?
