...though as someone who lived through the Editor Wars these debates all seems pretty amicable to me.
Vi is the only editor worth knowing and using. Emacs is for girls who can't program...

I'm going with red arrow one to chafe through first.
I was thinking we needed a betting pool for "first capsize". But then there could be "sinking", "severe grounding with damage", "big wave causes entire pilothouse to short out", "utility pole masts fail" etc. etc. Too many choices.

How much slower than "virtually stopped" can you be?
The camera never stays on the chain long enough but it looks like it's about 3-5 ft/min (a windlass should be about 30-60 ft/min)
Wobbles are fine with directly coupled motors according to Doug.
But everybody says it's a problem. (they are right, something would eventually break)
But he can't bring himself to admit that, so explains why he added a chain coupler (a flexible coupling element) is because "he was tired of people complaining"
The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

Some tubing chafed trough and caused a leak in the aft cabin at the beginning of his trip downriver already.

It's a 'Gnats pube' here..
Well I think that's the most put together part of the boat. Actual safety wire.
S.S. shackles underwater are dumb with galvanized chain against it but it's going to be OK for a long time. It just erodes the galvanizing because the zinc coating becomes an anode for the stainless.
The cognitive-nearly-complete-disconnect will only grow as he disregards basic respiratory precautions when working with two part coatings, particularly inside the boat! Didn't his mama teach him abou.....oh I forgot....he was not raised by a mother who was also a woman.
Like how he states his pathetically slow anchor winch now will go twice as slow as before but be more powerful. Since when has Dugg ever got anything right in the first place?

Funnily enough even though we are metric here, 100 x 50 is often referred to as 4 x 2.
Mainly by old farts like me..

that's not fair. Lots of people made a living in a cube farm and then could pull off home maintainence and renos. Doug's just a fucking idiot.

Are these metric or imperial wire nuts?
How about the ends of those pipe clamps hanging out there waiting for a head to impale.
I had never seen wire nuts in my life until I moved to the USA...

Wait until you see the knees above the bunks in the forward cabin.

They are fine so long as you've got single conductor wire and you put them on and leave them in place for the next 8 decades or so.
