  • @dual_sport_dork laying the lumber per usual

    Edit: got one coming. D_s_d likes it? I like it. $10? Fine.

    Edit: arrived today. Every word of the review is legit. Arguably the best $10 knife in existence. Buying a handful more for thoughtful but meaningless gifts; you know the kind.

    Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims
  • From the article:

    Campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said Trump was “throwing tantrums online and today at his country club for the media” because he wasn’t getting the attention he craves.

    “The self-obsessed, convicted felon is incensed he’s not in the spotlight as Vice President Harris and Governor Walz barnstorm the nation talking about their vision for an America of opportunity and security — where freedom and democracy are protected and everyone has a fair shot not just to get by, but to get ahead,” he said.

    “Trump has no vision, he has no solutions, and he is running a campaign of revenge and retribution to enact his Project 2025 agenda and make people’s lives worse. It’s why voters will reject him again at the ballot box this November.”

    Moussa with the beatdown 😬

    This after the Harris campaign called Trump “the most insecure man in America.”

    That’s gotta sting just a bit.

    Types of fixed keels
  • The first entry “full or long fin keel” is technically a modified full keel with a cutaway forefoot. A true full keel would have the keel extending almost in a straight vertical line from the stem to intersect the horizontal line of the bottom of the keel.

    The modified full keel is a nice compromise between the comfort and stability of a full keel and the maneuverability of a fin keel.

    Both types of full keel benefit from having a fully protected propeller in an aperture and the additional safety and security of a fully hung rudder. Additionally, nothing beats a full keel for rock solid dependability as the keel is molded into the hull, whereas a fin keel is generally attached by bolts, a far less structurally reliable method.

    Neither can compete for speed or maneuverability with a fin or bulb keel for several reasons, not the least of which is far more additional wetted hull area and the water friction inherent therein.

    I could be mistaken, but I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen “full” and “fin” used to describe the same item. I believe those are mutually exclusive terms.

    Cheap, good quality travel pants?

    Looking for recommendations on good quality, affordable, technical (lightweight, low cotton, high stretch) pants (no zip off legs, please) that will travel well, largely wrinkle free, and can dress up and down depending on pairings. Trying to avoid the cargo pant look. Does such a thing exist, or is it like the old saying: good cheap or fast, pick two?

    If you could only re-experience from new one game (like total immersion, wide-eyed wonder-at-the-majesty-of-it-all re-experience) and had yet to pick a console (Xbox versus PlayStation), what game on which console and why? (and feel free to remark on ideal controllers, add-ons, etc.)

    I was hoping Starfield might be that kind of galvanizing experience, but the reviews are pretty underwhelming. So now casting about for the real deal.
