You were in a ship not sitting atop a buoy. Where a wake from a passing boat could send you a rockin.

If you look at the design of the 'home' they were at it's a lot more than just a buoy on the water.

The amount of people reminding seasteaders that there are waves in the ocean is as numerous as there is water in the ocean. These good samaritans feel dutifully compelled to let us know that there are, indeed, waves in the ocean. Assuming, incorrectly, that this is not the prime problem to be solved in seasteading. If there were no waves there would be floating communities of house boats on the water right now. The first person to have a hard time buying land near the ocean would have strapped a few pieces of wood together and built his house there.

I was in The Gator Navy.

The ship of ours was a top heavy amphib with a bottom as flat (I've been under her in dry-dock) as a stern wheeler so we could move in right up to the coast and into shallow rivers. That 'seasteader' was a lot more stable.

 

The police have decided that maybe the dearh penalty is not required in this case.

Lol, it’s pronounced poo ket. Not what you were thinking, naughty girl.

 

Phuket is a popular resort island on the Abdaman sea. You may have read about it being hit by the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.

Sadly the news story is very real.

I'm very glad to hear that. They look like a couple of star eyed love birds trying to live some Utopian Bitcoin dream. I can understand why they selected that location as the water is so clear and blue.

Wayneh I say that's even worse than what I was thinking!

DickCappels all I can say is I hope their natural disaster days are over! For their sake and also everybody downwind cuz them being hit by hurricane would be when the poo ket hits the fan!

Nsaspook it's each to their own but I say clear blue water doesn't compensate for home being like microscopic offshore oil production platform

Spoken like a true non-sailor. That place is a mansion compared to what I've seem other sea gypsies in Asia live on.

Nsaspook I'm basically fresh water sailor which can be way more weird and wonderful than most ppl think!

Now being clear I don't mean rivers and small lakes! If lake area is less than 20,000 Sq miles OR max span is < 100 miles (not counting small islands) that's just day-trip boating! Not sailing!

Also boat is nice place to _visit_ but I wouldn't want 2 live there!

We played C&I with hobbyhorses as kids but never had competitions.

 

Envy?

 

Envy?

It's nice to see kids being kids in social events with other children and families. I don't envy those kids because that's what we did as kids but maybe children in America today should 'Envy' them.

 

My envy comment was in another context. The video is all I had.

Maybe I'm old fashion. It's a long time the hobby horse should have been taken away from the young ladies.

At that age, it is most improper. We played with hobby horses too.......just not into puberty.

Just my opinion, not many share it.

I do think it weird that the older ones are still riding but it's far better than drugs or drinking at that age.

The next time parking enforcement officers use chalk to mark your tires, they might be acting unconstitutionally.

A federal appeals court ruled Monday that "chalking" is a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Sort of a strange but good ruling.

That’s odd. I was thinking of the photo solution that was suggested. It’s hard to believe that’s not equally invasive but the law can be unpredictable.

The main difference is alteration of private property to produce evidence. This is pretty benign but knowing government what's to stop them from altering digital devices by adding a digital tracker activity bit as the equivalent of a chalk mark without a warrant or probable cause.
