meatpimp posted:In non-baby news, last week Amazon had Samsung 250gb SSDs listed for $29. It had to be a price mistake, since the seller was Sur La Table and it was an older drive. I bought 2, just to see what happened. The deal was over within a few minutes. But I checked later and it was available to purchase again, so I said "what the hell" and ordered 9 more.  That's awesome. Obvious answer is keep a couple and give the rest to friends/family/coworkers/donation places.

I would just like to point out I have a pellet in my chest that was shot from an air rifle. drat near had to have surgery to get it out when it happened. fortunately, no notable health impact, but even past that... PTSD is a hell of a thing. Holy cow! Glad you're okay. I didn't mean to sound insensitive, if it came off that way. I'm glad the guy in this instance is okay too. Its hard to know what to expect from air guns because there's such a difference between an airsoft, a daisy, and a high powered air rifle.

scuz posted:Tomorrow is the opening night for a zombie musical in which I play a zombie-fied version of basically Bettlejuice crossed with Master Shake. Pretty nervous since I've only ever done this like one other time and it was the same thing but for friends and family. The cast is great, we've had a lot of time to get it right, everyone's worked their butts off, still have night-before jitters. Is this for fringe or otherwise?

Geirskogul posted:Tecate is a knockoff Dos Equis and is bad and you should feel bad One time I was drinking tecate and watching parts unknown and then Anthony Bourdain and the dudes he was hanging out with we're drinking tecate and using it as targets for shooting a bunch of guns. That's my tecate story. Also regardless of the brand image of Stella, its a pretty decent beer and you shouldn't feel bad about drinking something that has a negative brand association somewhere else in the world that isn't where you're drinking it, IMO. Regarding beer chat; I took a sample of the English pale ale I made last week and its gonna be pretty good. It has attenuated well and in a couple more weeks it should be a pretty nice beer!

Phone posted:You're calling stuff that isn't an IPA or amber a sour. Wheat beers are beers, too. They make a portion of it with a lactobacillus fermentation. It is def a sour, though not a super sour one. In fact most traditional sour beer styles are also wheat beers. (Lambic and gueuze, Berliner weiss, and saison [saison doesn't have to be sour])

Ether Frenzy posted:The REAL reason you shouldn't buy it in cans & bottles in the US is because for some inexplicable reason they're 11.2 oz instead of 12oz yet the same 12-pack price as other similar brands. Its because its the 350ml euro size.

Ether Frenzy posted:I have never seen a can of beer in any part of Europe that was not 440ml... and the US bottles used to be 12 oz and the cans used to be 14.87oz. So inBev has made some move in the last couple years to keep it at the same price point while simultaneously raising the price, and 'we only want to bottle for one size' isn't the legitimate reason. Yeah I guess cans are different. Bottled European beers are very commonly 11.2oz/350ml, but inBev being inBev must've decided to make cans that size too to E: or to ensure that all of their products fit their oh so special ~~chalice~~

Sours are already pretty big but I don't think a similar arms race will occur because some of the very traditional sour beers are already at the top of the sour scale. See: Berliner Weiss

If you put the egg in a couple of zip lock bags the mess shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise a peach or plum or other small fruit would probably show damage while making less mess. Still should probably go in a bag though. E: protip: use organic eggs -- the shells are usually way thicker

The main problem is that police are too violent. This expresses itself as the killings of black men because of social racism and especially a fear of black men. So you have trigger happy officers looking to stop black men, who they then are more prone to shoot. White people also often get killed by police but black people are unfairly targeted by police overall.

Adiabatic posted:1977 Catalina 22 Catalina 22 is a solid boat that will last a long time. You may find that you get tired of launching it all the time eventually and break down for marina fees. Swing keel is super useful, also. A keelboat of any size is almost impossible to capsize, due to both the righting moment of the keel, but more importantly the hydrodynamic forces acting on it when under sail. It is the yang to the sail's yin. Also once you heel enough you are dumping wind so the righting moment becomes more effective. A lot of cheap boats are cheap because of interior or ancillary stuff that people don't want to deal with. Obviously you're no stranger to fixing your stuff, and as long as the hull and deck are in good shape, you're fine. Also for the love of God always use marine grade components. Even in fresh water anything without that price tag is going to dissolve rapidly. Sailing is awesome, have fun!  Tommychu posted:Not Your Father's is available in Canada now (we had a few hard root beers as of a couple months ago but they were all from companies I'd barely trust to get 'beer' right so I waited for the US imports to start showing up). Not a fan. The first one's nifty but crack a second and the sugar catches up to you and hits like a freight train. Don't regret this 6-pack but there won't be a second. I had pretty much the same experience. The first one was kind of cool but every one after just felt like it would've been better as a beer or a root beer, not both. epic bird guy fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Aug 23, 2016 |

Tows cost lots of money otherwise, I have seen a bill for just over $1400 for a tow from the bay back to the ramp at Gloucester point. Glad it wasn't mine. Sailboats don't need tows.

Adiabatic posted:Dude thanks! 1: Hard to say without looking at it personally, but it is entirely possible that you have something in the wrong place. I'd bet that's probably more likely than the whole rig being too long. That said, if you're replacing the turnbuckles it may be possible to shorten the stays if need be, but you should exhaust all possible configurations before doing that. I'll see if I can gain any insight from the picture you posted a couple pages ago. 2: I think you might be confusing your terms because the tack is the fixed corner at the bow, and the clew is the corner that the sheet gets attached to. The general procedure for rigging a jib sheet is: Attachment points in bold A) Affix sheet to clew of sail with a bowline B) Run sheet between shrouds and lifeline (that route may be different depending on the size of the jib) to the jib lead. This should be the pulley to the side of the cabin top, but it should either be on a track on the deck or attached to the gunwales. Could I see a picture of that to get an idea of the placement? C) If there is a winch and clutch/cleat directly in line now, the sheet goes to that and you trim from there. If there is a turning block, it has to go through that first. Repeat procedure for the other side. Remember to always use line that is made for the purpose. Cheapo rope will abrade, bind, and not withstand UV. If the PO has not supplied you with line, congrats on your first expensive sailboat equipment purchase! The jib tack is commonly rigged to a ring or hook at the bottom of the forestay. If you still have that tiny jib rigged, try one of the other ones. The little storm jibs are the least commonly used, especially in smaller boats where people are more likely to just not go out if the weather is bad. Because of this, they're usually the first ones to get their ancillary lines and stuff removed because a previous owner needed 3 feet of line and that's where he knew he could find it. The tack of one of the larger jibs should also go all the way down to the deck, or near it. 3: There shouldn't be a downhaul on the main. Downhauls are used on spinnaker poles to prevent them from flying upward in a spectacularly violent fashion. On the mainsail this is accomplished by the vang and the sheet. You might be seeing a Cunningham, which pulls down on the luff of the main to help the halyard with luff tension. There may or may not be an outhaul. Some less speed oriented boats don't have them, but that line you're describing might be related. Could I see a picture of that? Hope that helped. Let me know if you have any other questions. Also feel free to pm me.

Adiabatic posted:Lmao I had this thing entirely replied to and I got a bad MAC read when I submitted. Welp... Happy to help! Sailing owns super hard and I love doing it. So yeah you'll run the jib sheet through the lead, use the winch to trim, and hold it fast with either of the two cleats. (The cam one is superior in every way). Looks like on that setup you may need to run the sheets on the outside of the lifelines? You'll have to figure that one out. And yeah, like I said, rigging is expensive. One thing you never ever ever want to do is put a stopper knot in your jib sheet. If it needs to go you want to let it. Conversely, you do want a stopper knot at the end of your main sheet. You always want to be able to recover the boom. Did you get any winch handles? That's another primo purchase if not. Its good to have at least two. E: remember that lines always go clockwise around a winch. E2: the lead is also a pretty important trimming point. Moving it foreword or aft has a pretty major effect on your sail trim. But more on that later. epic bird guy fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Aug 27, 2016 |
