Tie knots all the time! Having a length of line around to just get the feel of tying knots while you're only half thinking about it is great. Same deal with all the jargon too - what helped me most was just trying to use it as much as possible

That guy is such a creep

Heading to the sail loft tomorrow, we're gonna start rigging up the ship - main task is reinstalling a top mast (i.e. I will most likely be heaving around the capstan most of the day)

Absolutely no need to apologize for anything, Robin

They have maintained a remarkable consistent internet policy since then, that is for sure

It's also the clear decline you can see from only periodic exposure. He's like a Teddy Ruxpin version of himself on the last 15% or so of its old D-cell batteries

I guess that's on me, I should not have developed eyesight

I very rarely allow myself to hear him speaking so every time I check in it's like "holy shit god damn"

"being destroyed, with their.... uh....BAMBS"

My brain actually melted a bit when I learned that Nintendo was founded in 1889

in the land of the grandpa made oil $150/bbl for no reason, the man with the hoopty 2009 honda fit is king

Heh, like I said, it's a brief think

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

Why did i even become a lawyer

Gandalf: I am a servant of the secret panties

But we're stealing oil from Venezuela! Doesn't that take care of this?

well not really sir. you see we're mainly stealing money. Also that is, uh, going to a Qatari bank account

love this for him

Genius president kicks gas prices directly in the dick on the way into midterms

Incredibly angry about this every day.

The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.

A fun thing to think about right now is "Who has better lawyers, the US or Nintendo"

Juvenile king penguin, covered in dense brown fuzz

It was fuzzy brown stuff, mostly natural fibers, you can imagine what it looks like. So when ships first began making the trip around Patagonia, the sailors began seeing juvenile penguins, probably King penguins. They called them the "oakum boys"

Probably my favorite sailor lore that I've learned since joining a crew is this: On wooden ships, sailors used the frayed fibers from lines mixed with tar or oil to make a sealing material called oakum, which could be used to caulk up gaps in the hull or seal pipe joints.
