Abbreviated rules 07/28/2017
Underdawg did an excellent job of explaining the rules. Here's the simplified version: Don't insinuate Pedo. Warning and or timeout for a first offense. PermaFlick for any subsequent offenses Don't out members. See above for penalties. Caveat: if you have ever used your own real name or personal information here on the forums since, like, ever - it doesn't count and you are fair game. If you see spam posts, report it to the mods. We do not hang out in every thread 24/7 If you see any of the above, report it to the mods by hitting the Report button in the offending post. We do not take action for foul language, off-subject content, or abusive behavior unless it escalates to persistent stalking. There may be times that we might warn someone or flick someone for something particularly egregious. There is no standard, we will know it when we see it. If you continually report things that do not fall into rules #1 or 2 above, you may very well get a timeout yourself for annoying the Mods with repeated whining. Use your best judgement. Warnings, timeouts, suspensions and flicks are arbitrary and capricious. Deal with it. Welcome to anarchy. If you are a newbie, there are unwritten rules to adhere to. They will be explained to you soon enough.

A Game-Changer for Combating Global Warming & Pirates ??
nota replied to jack_sparrow's topic in Cruising Anarchy
BJ like your spaghetti riff to K state's school board but have to point out the numbers of active pirates is exponentially increasing of late not decreasing as your chart shows, decoupling any relationship with warming -

ain't them antenna tips meant to bend a bit when they tap something ? or sail the damm thing so it ain't strait up btw king tide this week-end may be over the records for hi-water

btw water vapor in the air is self limiting by 100% H that produces RAIN and the water falls out of the air there is no such limit to CO2 it collects in the air and does not cycle out quickly

proof of GW or CC is fairly simple if you know the facts the models used at first had no idea our sun was going in to a slow down no sun spot phase those models assumed a steady state in solar output that didNOT happen so it follows the model predictions did not line up with real world numbers our star is only very slightly variable but it's output does change in sun spot minimums with that happening now here is the simple proof of GW the temps are still slightly increasing NOT DROPPING AS THEY DID IN EVERY OTHER RECORDED sun spot minimum WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME ? MORE CO2 IN THE AIR PROOF CO2 RETAINS HEAT IN THE REAL WORLD IN REAL TIME THERE IS LOTS OF BS BY THOSE WHO FEAR A LOSS OF PROFITS THEY WILL TRY TO SHIFT OR DENY OR LIE TO PROTECT THEIR PROFITS

palms are a grass not trees fiber but no wood so they bend and seldom break but they do go down some only 1/2 or 2/3 of the way and regrow if let be

Wht havent' multihulls taken the world by storm
nota replied to notherday's topic in Sailing Anarchy
early experiment in eazy launch and recovery of the kite I see no need for that kind of contraption I am sure that is not required to fly a kite just to make it idiot proof there are better ways lighter simpler to do it -

wide base to better control stable flight of the kite shallow draft and lighter boats more deck space for solar less rolling eazy to beach -

no comments on the multi+kite to limit the flipping to almost never ? I see the mast as a obsolete way to get an airfoil up in the wind and unnecessary cost and liability vs a kite that can be depowered instantly money better spent on several kites for different wind ranges and angles of attack and development of computer control of the kite for course keeping I could care less about ratings and races the future is kites not lever arm masts to make your boat flip -
you can get a HD CAMERA in a cheap tab or netbook now UHD camera for a few bucks more the size of a match box now a good lenz and aiming gimbals cost a bit but not nasa money anymore so they can stack them on a small sat add a few tricks I don't know of maybe a million or two plus launch each sat start up money not nasa money
