The show is loosely based on a standalone Sandman spinoff comic that I think is quite good.

Tallship sailor/rigger

We were in Puerto Rico for our winter maintenance period, just starting to bring on crew for the sailing season. I’ve never worked on a boat where people drink underway and I don’t think I’d want to.

On boats you usually don’t get told you’re fired until you reach port.

Working on a boat. We got a new shipmate who had worked there on previous seasons, most of us didn’t know him but he was good friends with another member of the crew. The day he got in the two of them spent the night catching up and getting absolutely trashed. Night ended with new guy stumbling in to the cook’s cabin and pissing right on the cook while he was sleeping. New guy was fired that morning without having worked a single day.

I can do it with tallship designs from the age of sail, there’s more of them floating around than you might think.

I thought the 1993 Mario movie was pretty fun

If you have room to stock up they’ll keep for months, I still have a squash or two from our last summer harvest.

The box in that picture has six bottles of beer in it

In the Wind in the Willows they mention mulled ale, so it is a thing or at least it was in 1908.

Aside from all the world famous obvious answers the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto CA was unexpectedly good. Saw a boot from a space suit, Shaq’s giant sneaker, a golden sandals that belonged to a king and lots of other cool stuff.

You could try a ship’s bell app, there are a bunch out there. They chime every half hour

I don’t know if this is what they were referring to but Aeropress is great. Been using one for years as a secondary brewer when I don’t need a whole pot and it’s easy to make consistently good coffee without much fuss.

I still write 2 cheques a year because my water bill can only be paid via physical mail (or in person I guess), I’m pretty sure fax is still common in our medical industry.

Mainly we’re at risk from earth quake, flood, and wildfires. In general I keep a good stock of food, water, basic medical supplies and have a plan for evacuating if it come to that. For fire the main thing that is likely to affect me is smoke and I keep materials for making a Corsi-Rosenthal box.

It’s not a bug, that number includes property tax and home insurance which is like 99.99% of it

She was a Flying P Liner. There is a film from 1929 documenting a trip around the horn on another of those ships called the Peking, great watch with some amazing footage. Around Cape Horn (1929)
