It looks like the rebut to the original post was generated by Deepseek. Does anyone wonder if Deepseek has been instructed to knock down criticism? Is its rebuttal even true?

I lost contact with everyone I knew in school, but curiosity got the better of me and I tried a web search a few years ago (he had a very unusual name). Turns out he died in a fight when still pretty young. I wasn't surprised.

According to Gallup, 44% of American households have guns. This is survey based. If fact, the actual number is unknown. A good guess is somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3.

Gun ranges where I live (California) require employees to wear an exposure monitor for a week or so each year. I talked to a range officer about it, and he said that they had never had the monitors indicate anything that is remotely a problem. Nevertheless, careful gun owners are aware of the problem and ranges that I've been to post notices and have hand cleaning stuff ready at hand.

My wife still watches some television. I stopped altogether several years ago. I do like YouTube though, which I suppose scratches the same itch.

Easy, just start a new instance and leave this one.

Maybe The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, by Ursala McGuin?

It was a great try, visually stunning and true to the overall feel of the book, but it didn't have a very cohesive story. They tried to cover too much ground. It would have been better if they had just stuck to the first book.

They teased a sequel at the end of the movie.

I'm just waiting for canned bread.

You haven't mentioned what kind of boat you have. Sailing a monohull vs a catamaran is somewhat different, also the size and rig make a difference. Your process looks about right to me, for a typical small monohull boat.

It's mostly about practice, though, sailing needs to be instinctive. Try not to overthink it.

Schlage makes a keyless entry lock that isn't strictly "smart" (no wifi or Bluetooth) but is pretty well made and as secure as any common deadbolt lock. I have two and have been using them for several years with no problems. I can't remember the model but they are in the $100 price class and most major hardware outlets have them.

As others have said, I'd stay away from any kind of fully remote lock.
