kite rig

There actually exist some boats that use kites exclusively for wind propulsion. This is used to save fuel, and most of the propulsion comes from motors. The kite is controlled by a computer.

That example might also count as a mastless rig from the comic.

Some people have also added kite-style sails to traditional sailboats, but I don’t know much about this.

I didn’t want to irritate any Italians by breaking spaghetti, so I purchased a device that lets you easily cook full-length spaghetti in the microwave.

We don’t know the exact circumstances, but CBP stands for Customs and Border Protection.

I’ve heard of Customs agents demanding people let them search phones without a warrant and without probable cause, and so foreigners can be refused entry. We probably all heard the story of it happening for a person who had a meme of JD Vance on his phone.

But the article says that this guy is based out of Atlanta, so I’m guessing he’s a US citizen. I’m not sure they can refuse entry to a US citizen based on this.

Either way, you should never give permission to anybody to search your phone. Maybe you’ve broken a law that you didn’t know was a law, and you’ve just handed the evidence over to the police. Or maybe you have evidence that can convict somebody else who didn’t know they broke a law.

I don’t know what this means for people crossing the US border. Now is a bad time to enter the United States.

Is that backfiring, though? You decided that you don’t want to play with that person, so if they are a package deal with other players, then you’re going to lose all of those people no matter what you do.

If you’d rather suffer the one bad player than lose the other people, then you need to understand that dynamic before acting unilaterally. You know, it’s a social thing so you need to actually talk to people.

If the EU Parliament had to have a minute of silence for every shitty American killed by a gun, they’d never have time for anything else.

You know what else gets rid of fleas? All of those products you can get from the vet and pet stores. You know? The ones that have been scientifically proven to safely get rid of and prevent fleas. Why would you do this to your own cat?

The article basically says no more about Zoe Hamburger than the headline, just that she transferred from America. Although the article does go on a lot about other McDonald’s issues.

So, basically they really did create an entire article because of her name.

I used the internet for a long time before ad blockers even existed. Everybody simply ignored ads, instead. But that wasn’t good enough for the advertisers. They weren’t happy unless we were forced to look at the ads. Extraordinarily obtrusive ads. Popup ads. Popunder ads. That’s when people started blocking ads. When you realized that your browser always ended up with 20 extra advertising windows.

Nobody really cared about blocking ads until advertisers forced us to. They made the internet annoying to use, and sometimes impossible to use.

Advertisers couldn’t just be happy with people ignoring their ads, so they forced our hands and fucked themselves in the process. Now, we block them by default. I don’t even know any websites that have unobtrusive ads because I never see their ads in the first place.

Now, they want to go back to the time when we would see their ads but ignore them. Fuck off. We know we can’t even give them that much. If you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile.

He was trying to cross the street in India.

For reference, although she didn’t do it perfectly, this is basically how you cross the street in India. You just walk out into moving traffic and hope they don’t kill you.
