I wonder how well they hold up in strong storms, or if they can be folded away for safety.


This was exactly my thought. We've all seen videos of giant ships caught in storms with green water splashing over the bow and are amazed they're able to stay afloat. Just from a glance at these sails, it looks like it would capsize the ship under in minutes in a decent storm. I would think either they fold down or they have to plan their routes very carefully to avoid bad weather.


We have a separate service that we pay for to recycle our plastic, and do exactly that; separate out all plastic and put in these bags - and yes, agreed, the amount of plastic is sometimes unbelievable.

Last night I cooked 2 packets of fresh Udon noodles. Each packet contained 2 plastics bags of vacuum packed noodles, so in total I had 6 separate plastic bags to throw away, for a total of 200g of noodles.


I'm also amused to see that 40 years later that they have "Copy Macintosh HD" on the Edit menu - like it's a floppy disk you can just copy to drive B :)


Could be their moral compass has been warped by Russian propagandists who find the death of civilians in the Ukraine ‘SMO’ to be a cause of great celebration.


And who and where exactly is finding "the death of civilians ... to be a cause of great celebration"? Citation needed, as they say in Wikipedia.

Anyway, you surely will find all sorts of people among 146 millions of Russians including serial killers and the likes. How does it justify being a person who is laughing over the death of civilian couple and orphaned and injured girl?


Who and where?

Russian propagandist, on Russian tv. You just have to wait for some horrendous act of indiscriminate killing by Russia to occur in Ukraine and they come out to justify or glorify the horror.

I don’t particularly blame them for their cynical actions, it’s their job.


Just as I thought -- no source or proof whatsoever.
