Gm! 😁

SHOCKING!! 😳 Unbelievable even. Today I saw with my own eyes UNSUPERVISED children in the MID DAY SUN fishing off some rocks with NO LIFE JACKETS in sight. They had NO PHONES either! How on earth could they tell the time? How on earth could their parents keep track of them?They weren’t even listening to music! There were NO WATER BOTTLES, they were not wearing SUN PROTECTION shirts, they were climbing all over the breakwater like billy goats. One of the was even BAREFOOT! WTF is happening in society when this type of behaviour is going on???

Today’s task for my boat design app focused on adding an immersed sectional area curve in the Hydrostatics workspace. It shows how the hull’s underwater volume is distributed longitudinally at the current load waterline. It provides an immediate visual link between hull shape, displacement distribution, and centre of buoyancy. #boat #design

Lunch. 10/10 for presentation! 😋

Today in my boat hull design tool I worked on proportional hull-depth transformation and controlled draft adjustment. The app can now: * Increase or reduce the measured overall depth of an existing hull. * Reach an exact target hull-depth measurement without rebuilding the design from setup. * Preserve the keel and centreline profile, including the established rocker. * Keep a flat-bottomed hull flat while moving the sheer vertically. * Proportionally move both the chine and sheer on a V-bottomed hull while keeping the keel fixed. * Retain selected locked vertical control positions as local design anchors. * Preview the resulting principal dimensions and hydrostatics before applying the transformation. * Prevent unsafe changes that would cross or invert longitudinal hull edges. * Keep the load waterline, manual weights and calibrated reference images fixed during a hull-depth transformation. * Apply the complete transformation as a single Undo/Redo operation. * Adjust the load-waterline height independently without changing the hull’s geometry. * Calculate measured draft from the load waterline to the lowest point of the hull. * Preview changes to LWL, displacement, longitudinal centre of buoyancy and vertical centre of buoyancy. * Prevent invalid waterlines below the hull or above the lowest sheer edge. * Save and reopen both hull-depth and waterline changes as part of the project. Together, these tools make it possible to distinguish between changing the physical depth of the hull and exploring how the same hull behaves at a different loading condition. #boat #design

I had an exchange earlier today here on nostr where the other person brushed my reply off because I “sounded (wrote) like AI.” Super interesting feedback, about him as well as me!

If you see a good, call it out!

Don’t overlook, dismiss or be afraid of nuance.

Strawberries and ice cream for afternoon tea!😁

Good northern hemisphere Saturday morning! ☕️

Had a fantastic paddle board session with wifey this evening. Got to see a couple of harbour porpoises feed as well! #paddleboard

I just ate the best fish tacos I have ever had. 🌮

Good Sunday morning! ☕️

A late GM! Waiting for Vancouver to turn on summer!😁

I put a block of frozen butter in the microwave to try and soften it. It went bang and looked like this. Gn!

First time at making some compost. Initially I made these “towers” out of plastic fencing and they just slowly started to collapse. I remade them using some metal netting. They seem sturdier. Hopefully they go the distance!
