This sailboat has an equipment called: hydrogenerator.
My physics brain wants it to be hydrogen-ator (a thing which adds hydrogen to your stuff).
But no, it is a hydro-generator. (A thing which generates electricity from being dragged through the hydro.)
Real talk: Most don't.
They're supposed to!
I did, because I'm "special". 🤪
(Had VM come find & thank me, more than once, because I had stopped on Airport Wy at Royal Brougham to do a walk through, and they'd seen me do it.)
I mean, if I were driving, yes. Although, operators are expected to do a walk-through at the end of their shift.
I'm no longer an operator, so my putative ignored graffitis were not on a vehicle.
I work at streetcar, and >reporting< it is indeed within the scope of my responsibilities! I'm also not talking about in/on the transit vehicle itself, but, say at a platform.
But again: I can neither confirm nor deny! 😁
Oh, FFS we are not. JFC, what is wrong with white men? (rhetorical)
I may or may not have—in my official work capacity—ignored some graffitis...
I realise that this was hours ago, but: one-song dance party! 💃
New tattoo, done in a traditional Marquesan style. It is curvy and double-ended pointy with internal motifs representing various concepts: waves, ancestry, mana, power
The excited squeal you-all just heard emanating from the south pacific (S8°54'58.6", W140°5`59.9") was me being super happy with my new tattoo!
MOVING AT SUB-RELATIVISTIC SPEEDS!!! 😁🤣
Ah... Well, then. I'm COMPLETELY out of ideas! 😁
That picture absolutely boggles my mind every time it comes around on my computer desktop.
One spacecraft snapping a picture of ANOTHER spacecraft, on a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLANET!!! 😮
If you have cat(s), that's where you start looking for sticky paws.
Holy Polar Vortex, batman!
I agree, but my boss doesn't. She insists on niceties, otherwise she won't answer. ::sigh::
Same. However, I did already mash the "like" button, so the sentiment stands...
@niais.bsky.social , can we get a ruling?
Yes, I was dragging my feet, running it late / picking up everyone, when I saw my follower in the rearview!
Looked at the schedule when I got to the terminal. 3 minutes!
Back when I drove the newly separated C, ISTR it was every 3 minutes?
And... hasn't SOME sectors of Seattle transit recovered to 100%? ::cough First Hill Streetcar cough::
(I'm legit asking. I know we talked about it, but imonnaboat.)
Oh, thank zeus! I even downloaded an app update! 😜🤪

What would happen if I added, say, raisins to my (hypothetical) cottage cheese?
A painting displayed in a Catholic Church in the town of Hakahau, on the island of Ua Pou. It displays a non-white Jesus, holding what appears to be a hockey stick.
Jesús plays badass hockey!

At sea, the horizon is roughly π nautical miles away. Therefore, my world's area is π³ square nautical miles! ⛵ ⚓
Nautically (I'm on a boat), the horizon is ~π nautical miles away. Therefore, my world is π³ square nautical miles!
Well, today I (an exvangelical) attended Easter Mass on the south Pacific island of Hiva Oa.
It was presented in Marquesan with a little bit of French, and I recognised the word "espérance".
That's something I can get behind: let's all hold on to hope. 🫂
Oh, look! misogynists to block!
Well, when the French government mandates 4G cellular service for villages of <100 people, who am I to not take advantage? 😉
Completely understandable!
(Years and durations not mathing. Please take as approximations! 😁)
Last year I did Nuku Hiva (Marquesas) to Hilo, Hawaii. Twas my first sail equator crossing.
2026 am doing ~week cruising in Marquesas before heading towards Honolulu.
