  • Since I’m not planning on making it super realistic, I was thinking of adding a jib and spinnaker as potential upgrades to increase the speed of the boat at certain angles. The extra sails would move on their own based on the angles and wind speed.

    With regards to hiking and falling out of the boat, I’m leaning more towards a disembodied camera instead of a first-person character so probably not.

    I’m not sure if I’ll add reading the water as a thing but I’ll keep it in mind!








  • Mentioned in this article is something I’ve been wondering about recently. The author says you should counter “so you want to inject children with chemicals?” with “Is that what you call medicine that saves dysphoric children from suicide?”. I haven’t been able to find it yet so could somebody link the source that they use to say that gender affirming care saves trans youth from suicide? I’ve heard a lot of opinions about it but I’ve never seen the studies.

    The problem is that when you push an object, the push happens at the speed of sound in that object. It’s very fast but not anywhere near the speed of light. If you tapped one end of the stick, you would hear it on the moon after the wave had traveled the distance.

    For example, the speed of sound in wood is around 3,300 m/s so 384,400/3,300 ~= 32.36 hours to see the pole move on the moon after you tap it on earth.
