Please invest in Dallas Murphy’s ebook “Plain Sailing”.
https://www.amazon.com/Plain-Sailing-Sail-Trim-Manual-Sailors-ebook/dp/B00593YTJG/
It gives you all the fundamental-understandings, & by making you basically-competent-in-understanding sailing, it gives you significant advantage over everybody else looking at having a bit of sailing-time on someone’s boat.
Authors to know of include:
-
Tom Cunliffe ( I can automatically recommend anything instructional of his, & he has a youtube channel )
-
Nigel Calder, if you’re looking to invest in a cruiser for yourself, you want to read his books.
-
John Kretschmer’s books are excellent.
if you want to have a cheap boat of your own, then there are 2 books I recommend, the white-cover book by Dynamite Payson & the Building an Outrigger Canoe book.
https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Boatbuilding-Dynamite-Payson-Paddle-ebook/dp/B00UYB5EGK/
https://www.amazon.com/Building-Outrigger-Sailing-Canoes-Construction-ebook/dp/B00CKMG7E4/
Do keep in mind that in some jurisdictions, human-powered hulls do not require registration ( canoes, kayaks, rowboats, etc, ), whereas powered hulls ( including motor AND SAIL ), legally do.
Between those 2, you should have some understanding of how to get yourself afloat, affordably.
Please do not compromise safety, though: alcohol massively multiplies the death-rate on the water, so segregating alcohol from operating-aquatic-vehicles is a good thing, see?

93·22 hours agoThen teach the parts of Isaiah which show clearly he held in contempt the people, of his day, who were doing what the “Jews” who convicted benJoseph, did, & what the “Christians” who identify as Republicans are doing now.
Teach how benJoseph called biblical-legalists “Hypocrites!” right in the bible.
Teach them all the things in their own bible which identify the “Christian” fascism as being the enemy of their own root-guru/Christ.
Here is Isaiah 1 from their bible, so you can see that what Moses fought against a couple millenia earlier ( if one happens to remember that stuff from other readings ), happens this time not within the people of Egypt, but within the Israelites…
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah+1&version=AMP
Obviously, now it’s happening within the “Christians”.
Notice, here, that nearly-all teachings on Hypocrites! are in the New Testament…
https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=hypocrite&version=AMP
& here is a phrase, right in their bible, of the whole “they call themselves Jews, but are gaslighting” sentiment,
which, as anybody with integrity would understand, is an accusation which can be placed on many of ANY human religion, including the Dharmic religions ( including my own beloved Vajrayana ), including the Abrahamic religions, including the people who claim Science but embody/enforce Scientism’s gaslighting, etc…
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+2%3A9&version=AMP
It is a particular kind of dishonesty, and it isn’t limited-to any tradition or culture, no matter how convenient to some ideologies that would be.
Find all the parts of the bible that contradict the gaslighters who call themselves “Christian”, & teach only those bits.
WHEN teaching the now-legally-required-in-some-jurisdictions “10 Commandments”, add this & discuss how this applies to the people who legislate in our countries:

Because it is sooo late in the arbitrary-election-cycle, no matter what the Dems do, they’re fucked.
Go with Biden?
Then they’re fucked.
Go with Kamala Harris, whom the white-supremacists have been working against for years?
Then they’re fucked.
Find somebody else?
There isn’t time, so then they’re fucked.
This highlights the category of political-lesson that you have to “fail early & fail often” ( to use a phrase from successful serial-startup founders ) in order to find the robust candidates whom you can currently win with.
UNlike the way the Dems have played.
The CNN+NYT “shutting down” of progressive-issues & progressive-voices, in the last election, burned too much potential out of existence, and that traction is gone: non-recoverable.
The mega-entitlement of the Biden insitution is buckling & collapsing with increasing obviousity.
I fucking told everyone so, again & again & again, but it was all my “delusion” & “incompetence” & “defectiveness” & “lies”, was it??
Trump is going to become the US’s dictator,
& is going to begin the 2nd half of the US’s Civil War ( the Confederates only pretended to surrender, & now are earning a “reverse takeover” ), & the butchery will probably reduce the US’s population by 2/3rds, within 12y, counting all the consequences both direct & indirect ( complete failure to manage a hurricane’s landfall costs much more life than does managing it competently: multiply that by a dozen per year, & you’ve got human-costs up the gills, without even considering atmospheric-rivers, megadroughts, quakes, wildfires, or any other kind of disaster to multiply costs on, right? ).
it is infuriating to see people insist that “social pressure will make this work”, millions of times,
while it measurably, proveably, isn’t working, but that is what Natural Selection at the species-level means, isn’t it?
Terminal Species-ending Butchery.
Sunak’s obliteration of his own party, Kim Campbell’s obliteration of her own party, what was that Liberal premier who wiped out her own party, in Ontario, can’t remember that one’s name…
Social-pressure never acts when it is needed, it only acts when it gets around to feeling comfortable with acting, and that is consistently too-late.
So, when will the Democratic Party admit they need to change gears??
After they’ve fundamentally lost, is when.
Imagine running a bunch of freight-trains that way: “oh, we’ll slow-down when we feel a collision beginning, but until then, we’re really fine, & there’s no indication of any real need to be doing anything different, is there?”
Feelings are the wrong metric for preventing this kind of catastrophy.
frustration-rage
Authority needs to have hard walls, bright lines, & deadly-force biting its corruptions/entitlements/dishonesties/DarkHexad enactments, etc.
Political-process won’t ever allow any such rule, in its dominion, of course…
And that is why political-process cannot be permitted to own our world’s fate: its conflict-of-interest, & its inescapable-corruption disallow integrity from ruling, & without integrity, then only “Justice”, with falsifying-quotes, the phony version of Justice, remains…
So, The Great Filter’s going to extinguish yet another world, from this Universe, is it?
Political-machiavellianism/dishonesty’s going to snuff all LivingPotential, LivingWorth, LivingOpportunity of this whole world, while the “social consensus” indulges in orgiastic clusterfucking, until existential-viability itself is gone…??
Ah, but at least everyone will be able to feel that they “weren’t responsible”, right?
Social-feelings: that’s the real LORD, and so long as it’s happy, then existence, itself, isn’t actually necessary, right??

15·23 hours agoIs his personal-information on the dark-web?
Is he saying that if his personal-information is on the dark-web, then it’s perfectly-OK for everybody & their robot to be using it??
XOR is he saying that there are 2 kinds of law:
1 for protecting his entitlement,
the other for disallowing rights from the lives he consumes, through his beloved herd/corporation/pseudo-person?
( obviously, he’s already answered the latter )
35·8 days agoI think that “alleged” can be dropped, if the emergency-services people had to deal with evidence that was sufficiently-obvious.
Don’t push deluded-doubt to help the disinformation empire, please.

TTBOMK, there are 3 things which change-the-rules, significantly.
-
Pimsleur. Get the Pimsleur app, get the all-languages subscription, & do 1 session per day.
-
Flashcards, or Anki, to get the visual imprinted into your automatic-mind, for any language you are trying to learn
Later…
- Tandem, where you find a speech-learning partner, you help other people learn your languages better, other people help you learn your target-language better.
Begin with Pimsleur & with some yt videos.
( they have no Sanskrit, which is the one I want, unfortunately )
Do well!

Computational-Fluid-Dynamics simulations are RAM-limited, iirc.
I’m presuming many AI models are, too, since some of them require stupendous amounts of RAM, which no non-server machine would have.
“diminishing returns” is what Intel’s “beloved” Celeron garbage was pushing.
When I ran Memtest86+ ( or the other version, don’t remember ), & saw how insanely slow RAM was, compared with L2 or L3 cache, & then discovered how incredible the machine-upgrade going from SATA to NVMe was…
Get the fastest NVMe & RAM you can: it puts your CPU where it should have been, all along, and that difference between a “normal” build vs an effective build is the misframing the whole industry has been establishing, for decades.

“Those who call themselves ‘Christian’, but are the church of satan” is the updated-to-our-century rendition of THIS, from their own bible:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation 2%3A9&version=AMP
IF “The 2nd Coming of Christ” actually happens,
THEN they’re going to be gunning to obliterate his life, exactly like The Book of Revelations states they will be.
( I’m presuming that the guy on the “white horse” representing Purity, with the double-edged blade of Cutting True Speech is the “2nd Coming of Christ” in that book )

Rolling Stone is turning into some good Journalism, these last few years…
( I’ve no idea when the change happened:
it’s just that in the past few years I’ve noticed this change, from what they’d been when I was younger, which was entertainment-industry centered )

I think he is simply going to criminalize being a member of the Democrat party, & have “sheriffs” & gangs go hunting them down, in US Civil War Part2, which should begin in total earnest, within 4y of him being put in charge, by the Repubs
( I expect Biden to flub it, no matter what, and Trump’s … psychopathy … is “improving” ).
just get some popcorn, & wait & see: evidence will speak its truth, in a few months/years, obviously…
There are 3 categories of games:
-
Positive-Sum Games, win-win, ie alliances
-
Zero-Sum Games, lose-win, ie contests
-
Negative-Sum Games, lose-lose, ie nihilism
People don’t understand that disinformation is nihilism: eradicating viability of humankind.
Treat it as war-against-our-species’-viability.
There isn’t much time left for faffing everything, before ClimatePunctuation will have accelerated to the rampaging-butchery stage of The Great Filter.

Confessions should only be between oneself & LivingSpirit.
Confession isn’t a social-engaging, unless its some kind of codependency-ritual, which isn’t healthy.

48·11 days agoIt also is true that ideologically-motivated-coding is an actual thing.
Imagine someone hating that their propaganda gets deleted by moderators, so they make it difficult for moderators to function that way…
while they, themselves, just so a SELECT on their DB to see the images, to delete all the ones they don’t want…
Remember, it isn’t only corporations who are committed to enforcing the Enshittocene, ideologues do, too.
Those comments are proven false by the dot-4 release of Lemmy, but I’m not accusing the Lemmy devs of being the way those post-quoted comments said.
I AM stating, bluntly, that deliberate torque on the use of ANY aspect of an app, is a thing, now, and need be considered as ONE of the possibilities.

Multiple conflicting definitions for “Conservative”, for 1 thing…
WHEN you tolerate the:
- moneyarchists
- legalists
- class-position worshippers / monarchists
- authority-worshippers
to claim that they define conservatism,
& us who’re committed to conserving
- G-D given LivingValidity
- G-D given LivingWorth
- G-D given LivingPotential
- G-D offered LivingOpportunity
… people are therefore defined to be not “conservative”…
then the framing has been highjacked.
Integrity-conservatives are conservatives.
LivingPotential conservatives are conservatives, who’re interested in competent education for all, instead of accommodating the obliteration of LivingPotential through shit “education”…
LivingOpportunity conservatives are conservatives, who want wastefulness-of-LivingOpportunity to be eradicated, so that we can be inhabiting it, instead of allowint it to be eradicated/wasted…
etc.
I’d begin with the correct qualification of the version of “conservative” that a person is claiming.
Corrupt privilege-conservatives ought be called such, & not let get-away-with claiming that the’re the rightful definers of “conservative”.
This should go for all “conservative” & “liberal” identifications:
Let people claim whatever variant they want, and then enforce accountability through matching their actual-behavior against their claims, with indestructible public accountability.

Float-tanks are this:
Imagine a bigger-than-normal bathtub, so you can sprawl-out ( arms & lega akimbo ) without hitting the sides…
the water-density is upped with brine, instead of plain water ( the float-tanks place I used to go to used sacks of “bitter salts” & the texture of the brine was damn-near oily, and DO NOT EVER shave shortly before going into a brine-soak, or you’re going to discover what stinging really means )
also it is brought up to a person’s body-temperature, or close to it.
When there’s no temperature-difference, & you’re floating sooo high that drowning is much less likely ( the Dead Sea is probably the prototype for all float-tanks, btw ), & you aren’t bumping into the walls, then you’re in blissful sensory-deprivation ( total dark, too, obviously, probably use a timer, limit it to 2h max ), & meditation can be awesome in these conditions.
