Everything is perfect and happening automatically, why do we think it's not? This channel sets out to prove that thesis using Sailing, Photography, Videography, Music, Art and Science, and is the Philosophy of Perfection, outlined by the Author, that Great Cod in the Sky responsible for all of this turmoil on Planet Earth. Enjoy.

Now I'm having some electrical problems and my paper manual unfortunately is completely unusable. I have a question, I see at the beginning you have the manual into you computer.

    You will own nothing soon says Klaus. The aim is to rent everything, but there won't be much choice. It will probably be our fault for having all this stuff, but its they who dreamt up the system. We would have been happy on our small holdings but the weather was crap and folk got hungry and there was this Factory down the road that made shirts. Your job relied on folk owning a few shirts. Klaus says we'll only be allowed three items of clothing per year, so one factory might do for the globe. I'm presuming the choice will be blue. They changed the banking laws some time ago. Now if a bank crashes your house and your money isn't yours any more, we will have no personal rights to anything not even our body, or any national rights. Lloyds bank expects to be the countries second biggest Landlord soon. Klaus says there will be food shortages soon, and 50% will unemployed. The banks are already in a bad state after the Plandemic. It will only take "an event" to fold them. Selling our Gold off cheap was all part of the long term plan.

Given the choice between the other two. America needs a third choice. Its obvious that America is on a precipice of disaster. Both Diplomatically on the world stage and Finacially on the world markets. Governments around the world are shorting on americas debt bonds. It's going to be chaos.

    I have one of these called the Olympus E10. It is a remarkable camera for it's age. It uses a split prism concept so has no mirror I believe, though I am open to correction as I am going from memory. I am hoping to do a series of videos based around this camera in the future. It has a very wide aperture compared to my other cameras, and a good quality lens. It's 4 megapixels is quite usable.

    Im thinking I'm settling into the idea of an electric hybrid trawler. I saved an old sailboat hull that was headed for a dump. It would never be a sailboat again but it ccan be a displacement mini tug or trawler. I will have my solar to keep my lithium charged up, but the 2000watt generator will be for longer stretches and when the batteries need to be topped up. Wish i could rely 100% on solar but it wont work for me 100% of the time. I built a smaller 100% electric that works great. The larger boat will be for longer trips and longer stays. I will use the smaller boat as the dingy, and it is extremely efficient. I have gone 30 miles in the small boat. The hybrid idea is also about your point of going thru channels or current. The motors I use are 24v motors that I use at max 50amps. On my smaller one, I go 6kts in my smaller displacement boat. I have a slightly more powerful 60amp version i intend to use on the big boat.

    Hi Adam, this weekend I installed solar power on my inflatable dinghy. A 50watt panel that can live on the dinghy and either connect to the battery system on the dinghy, or directly to the main boat with the dinghy tied to the back. The panel can also transfer to the back rail and doubles as an outboard carrier rain protector. I have both electric and conventional outboards on both the dinghy and the main boat. Last year I found that without a solar panel, I just did not quite have enough power in the dinghy for longish runs. As I normally go dock and shop on land a bit, the sun can keep it topped up a bit, and it's also charging when tied up. I'm not completely sold on electric for the main boat, though I have not taken it off. I definitely like it on the dinghy :)

  • @adamtedder1012
    @adamtedder10123 ай бұрын

    @saraofnorthwales my dingy has a box I built with lithium batteries in it. My motor I use is actually a brushless motor, so it's a bit more powerful, but like I said, I've gone 30 miles on that little boat alone. The one I'm putting on my bigger boat is even more powerful, so I will have solar and the generator to make up for the extra draw and give extra range. I figure ill have about double the lithium bank i have on the smaller boat. I have a gas outboard. I'm gonna keep on board just in case, but I have never used it on my little boat and have gone thru all kinds of conditions.

  • @adamtedder1012

    Hello my friend. The MGF is a fine car and the old BL hydragas system is very good when it works. Low profile tyres are still the biggest enemy of a nice ride. It might be worth replacing your entire cooling system as that is the biggest weakness in those cars. I hope that you're well!

    Hi John, nice to hear from you. One interesting thing I found out just the other day is if you don't check in to the EU you can cruise the coast as long as you want. You only need to check in if you want to spend the night ashore. If you are living onboard your boat, there is no need just to go ashore and shop for food and stuff. That would not apply to the canals, however. All the best, Adam.

    Also, people who wear hats have positions in nature. Those without hats have no position. Often, musicians, who generally work for the good of humanity, have a position (Jimi Hendrix is an example) and therefore wear a hat. The reason people take their hats off is to go "off work" or "off position". This tones them down a bit for normal conversation. Right now, I have not got my hat on. :)

I quite like the trackpoint on the older thinkpads; it feels more responsive compared to later models so I don't mind not having a touchpad. you probably know this already, but a tip for watching youtube on older computers is to try using either a frontend website such as invidious, or alternatively you can run mpv with a youtube link on the command line if you have the yt-dlp package installed. both these methods vastly improve performance by not having to load all the junk from the youtube website.
