A fun next lesson is the benefit of apparent wind. In addition to the wind relative to the water, you have added wind generated by the movement of the boat. Since the lift generated is related to the speed of the wind relative to the boat, the faster the boat goes, the more lift you get. As a result, it is possible to actually sail faster than the wind speed of the wind relative to the water.

I'm pretty sure I did a bad job explaining that. Google can explain it better for sure.

One of my favorite sketches. Thanks for reminding me of it. I'm going to go watch it now.

Personally, as with a lot of the comments, I'm in the food-prep and make it yourself crowd.

I found a book that dives into the details of when it is and isn't worth making things from scratch.

It's called Make the Bread, Buy the Butter.

Honestly, I haven't read it yet. I bought it and let my mom borrow it immediately, but when I get it back I think it will an interesting read.

As someone who has watched less than an hour of anything on twitch, I guess I'm going to change my avoidance of the site from passive to active.

Fairly consistently: 3D printing, wood working, amateur radio, RC cars, and cooking.

Also playing with: sewing, tablet weaving, lifting weights, and guitar.

I was with you up until big thighs. ...though I will say I don't mind them, I wouldn't call it a hobby.

Toats down with brewing, baking and 3d printing fo sho though.

I think the "This is Water" speech from David Foster Wallace gives a great perspective that feels relevant to this situation. There was a month or two where I listened to it every day on my way to work. It helped me through some shit.

The article does admit the official in question is still actively doing their job, just hasn't been to their office. To me this seems like "After COVID lockdown an Elected Official realized they don't need to be in the office, so they continued working from home". I feel like it is just trying to fuel anger over something trivial.

As a subset of this, the fact that carburators worked as well as they did, until we had the technology to invent the simpler fuel injector, I think is pretty cool.

I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.

Approximate time.

At some point the time on my cellphone was a little off from the TV which was a little different from my car which was a little slower than my school which was a little different classroom to classroom and approximate time was good enough. Now if I'm 30 seconds late for a meeting, it gets commented on.
