As a sailboat enthusiast kedging is most often used as in the case of poor Blackbeard when you get caught up on something and need to move a small bit in a direction that’s against the wind or water. So usually just trying to get unstuck when you’ve run afoul of hidden sand bars or the tide shift leaves you in an awkward spot. You also might do it to help set an extra anchor if you’re worried about drifting on the tides.

Even deep water boats only have a few hundred feet of anchor rode and line and it takes a while and is a hassle to kedge out with your dinghy.

I have never in all my years of boating seen anyone do it as a method of general propulsion outside of just handling lines at the dock. It’s just sometimes your best shot.

egg_irl did in fact begin the process for me, like 8 years ago. Have the appt to get estrogen this week!

It was quite a surprise to learn that everybody doesn’t fantasize about being a girl at least a little!

framing is important though. Nobody considers a cocktail ‘diluted’ even if that’s technically applicable, the resultant mixture usually improves the beverage.

Ginger the Segway was supposed to revolutionize the way we view cities!

Marineverse has a VR sailing game that is so good NauticEd recommends it when you’re learning to sail and I found it to be a really great simulation when i played it.

Also Greg at marineverse is really cool i had to chat with him to get an old copy of the game unlocked for my Quest 1 and he was super nice.

I’m in general an over-tipper but I have finally found my personal limit at being asked to tip in the drive through.

I just skip the places that have implemented it it just seems ludicrous

you’re definitely going to want to get on the Sailing Anarchy forums

i did the basic free course at nauticed.com and got a boating license for my state and that was enough to buy and sail a racing dinghy 8 hours up a river my first time out. Sailing is a blast you’re gonna love it! You can get a dinghy on craigslist for less than the cost of lessons so if you’re into DIY it’s a fun inexpensive way to go.

It was all fun and games until your thrustmaster and your soundblaster and your modem hit an IRQ conflict.

Plug-and-play was a godsend for gamers.

Having just switched from Old Spice Swagger to SheaMoisture products I can assure you that ‘different smells, colors and water contents’ result in radically different outcomes in hair softness and smoothness!

I recommend the Sailing Anarchy forums and nauticed.org if you think you’re into sailing!

EstraDoll cuz she inspired me to get HRT :)

just because I haven’t seen anyone else explicitly state it; grass in this context is a slang term for cannabis

i’m just mad about it!

Dollar Tree is $1.25 where i live!

I don’t like 'em. I fucking love 'em!

and there is Quantas Airlines

I tried this recipe but felt it needed a little something so I swapped out the 2 cups of AP flour for canned rhubarb and that’s just what it was missing! 5 stars

there comes a point where you realize you haven’t thought about them in months and it’s delightful. Hang in there!

the bidet temporarily connects my butthole with a near infinite series of tubes containing pure water and in that moment I am the clean water and the clean water is me
