Ah! The blurb made me think so. Anyway, the dude spent $2,300 in shipping. Yikes. That and the other money he has in it, I can get a boat hull and make it electric.

That was neat! Been screwing around with my huge canoe and 10’ flat-bottom. If I had to do it all over I would have gone for this. OTOH, we can get those two boats in the water by hand.

How’s it do against current? We could barely move the boat upstream on a quick-ish creek. I’m also in Florida (NW) so I imagine our ideas of current are about the same. Everything’s flat, nothing is fast.

Yeah, solar and a LiPO4 battery are game changers. My trolling motor isn’t nearly as nice as yours but I’ve never come close to wearing out the battery. Wish I know about those all along! Why 2 batteries instead of a fat 500Ah? Something I don’t know?

Nav lights yet? I love rolling my own electronics and it’s pretty cheap for what we’re doing.

Man! I’m sorely tempted to ditch the 10’ and look into this. Can’t afford it right now, but maybe next year. Got a purchase link?

LOL, we only have wussy black bears. There’s coyotes around but I hear they’re shy as well.

Ah! Now that makes sense.

I’ll keep rolling. Don’t dislike it enough to quit, but if something else comes along I’ll put it down for now. Dropped out after book 2 for a Stephen King collection I didn’t know existed. Started book 3 today.

I’m far more into science fiction than fantasy, but the original 6 Dragonlance books are my favorites. Characters you care about and seem real are essential, which I why I love King so much.

For example, I like Eland a great deal, but rolled my eyes when he magically became Mistborn. Sazed has really shaped up nicely as well. But Vin (FFS, couldn’t even remember her name, had to search) I can’t relate to. You mean this 18-yo girl out her whuppin’ ass and stacking bodies and she has zero PTSD or anything?! It’s like she has no feelings.

I should probably note that Dune is my favorite sci-fy/fantasy novel. Love me some world building.

I’m assuming it runs on AI and the company has to provide the backend. So yeah, if you purchase something that requires a company’s infrastructure, it can certainly be bricked.

Been called the redneck Crocodile Dundee.

I worked for a company owner that wouldn’t hire you if you had a DUI and would check yearly, firing you if you had one. This included everyone.

What law was broken? And if there isn’t one (there isn’t), how would you craft such a law?

AWS does exactly this. They will roll up with a semi and move your drives anywhere.

EDIT: Crud. They ended Snowmobile this year.

I can walk 1/2 a mile in any direction and find a body of water or deep woods where it would never be found. Also, I’d field strip it and chunk the parts in different places.

I’ve said the same thing as the first paragraph here on lemmy and got buried for it. Always thought that most of the politically correct BS came from white busybodies.

Read that and cheered (most of it) on.

Finished the 2nd Mistborn book today. Pretty good, but I’m not dying to continue. Should I?

Came here to say Discworld. But I wouldn’t want to live in the city any more than I do here.

The 1st doesn’t apply anywhere excepting the government limiting your speech.

Let’s see if he actually does. These people offer him nothing. Why would he?

Somehow this set off a mod. And I cannot imagine why.

The CEO hate around here is childish. If the CEO doesn’t do what the board of directors wants, he’s fired. And the investors can fire the board. And next I’ll explain how golden parachutes actually work.

OTOH, I have zero problems with targeting healthcare CEOs. None. Zip. Zilch. NADA. They know the evil shit they signed up for.

My favorite part of the story was the sheriff leaving town.

“Now y’all don’t get any crazy ideas while I’m headed to the next town over. OK?”
