Diesel is sailboat engine are generally very efficient. Most the time she probably spends sailing, but if the wind isn’t strong enough or in the wrong direction you don’t really have another option.

What’s it like being sail?
It’sail good man, just go with the flow.
Windy
Breezy
Aren’t you legally required to have some kind of backup propulsion source anyway?
You do to sail into some ports, for example, but there are a lot of sailing vessels that are pure sail.
I’m sure this varies widely by jurisdiction, but at least in my part of the states no. I just have a (smaller) sailboat and my “backup” is just ors and the coast guard haha
Even if it weren’t a legal requirement I would hope people would have the common sense and desire for personal safety that they would have it there for a backup. I imagine our knowledge and surveillance of weather makes it a lot easier to sail if you have that information, but you could easily be stuck for a very long time if you only relied on sailing. From what I have read the Mayflower was delayed for over a month at sea due to the changing of the winds.
Not sure about legal requirements but it wouldn’t surprise me
Beat me to it. If the sails aren’t up you just drift if you’re not under motor. If there’s not enough or too much or the wind is in the wrong direction then you don’t have any choice.
The israel flag in the name of the guy really hits. Do they need to use the EXACT playbook of the fascists around the world? A couple of years ago I would have suspected satire but satire died some time ago, sadly.
Ah ha, I have pointed out a minor hypocrisy, your entire existence is invalid!
Everyone is a hypocrite. It’s pointless to point out hypocrisy for its own sake.
The other day you said that no one is a hypocrite so what am I supposed to believe now?
Oh, that doesn’t sound like me. I’ve literally never been wrong about anything or changed my mind about anything ever.
Why would you change your mind? Right?
Why would you go Right when there’s all this Left
I’m not conditional soup, but clearly because left is not right.
Well, somebody shit my pants, and it definitely wasn’t me.
It’s that serial pant shitter they got me yesterday too.
It could be if you tried harder… Or just two more times
Only the absolutely perfect can be the enemy of the genocidal apocalypse cult. There are only two lebels of morqlity and no such thing as structural forces.
Is it hipocrisy tho?
Like if you say to someone that says that we shouldn’t use single use plastics for food, that they still use single use plastics for their surgery, that’s not hipocrisy. Context matters.
Of course she isn’t going to deliver critical aid to where a genocide is happening via bicycle
Technically she’s carpooling no?
Reminds me about what they used to say about Al Gore on Fox “News”. They said he takes private jets. It’s a bad faith argument because those people then go on to deny climate change. Also he’s a former vice president, I’m sure security reasons are part of that decision. Also if those private jets allow him to be more productive in fighting climate change the net benefit of him using it may exceed the additional carbon generated by the jets.
Greta actually follows this priciple pretty well and does not fly unless absolutely necessary. In this case she is taking a boat which is one of the most efficient ways of transporting goods such as humanitarian aid.
Minor addition - in this case, it’s literally the only possible delivery mechanism. Any other mode of transportation is functionally impossible.
Israel should build a giant railway leading into to the Gaza concentration camp.
For environmental concerns, of course.
That’s a good point, makes what Brian was saying about Gretta even worse.
The first name “Al” has been ruined, my first thought was “they’re making AI gore?”.
I wish fonts made the difference between uppercase i and lowercase L as clear as possible. I don’t understand why most computer fonts don’t put lines above and below the uppercase i like I think everyone is taught in school to do.
Those lines are called serifs, and that’s where the term “sans serif” for different typefaces comes from (“sans” is French for “without.”) That Wikipedia page mentions claims that sans serif is more legible online, but I have not looked into the sources and don’t know enough about webpage design to make any claims about that myself.
If adding serifs to the I is bad, I think a good alternative is adding a tail to the l (like a t without the bar). Some fonts do this and I’m a huge fan.
He never HAD to take a private jet. Why are you shilling for millionnaires?
because it’s not the 1400s and you literally need an engine in a sailboat when docking or ferrying or, you know, when there’s literally no wind.
The best part is that people who criticise her for things like that are the same people who have a fuck greta sticker on their coal rolling yank tanks. So they should agree with her.
meh weak trolling at best
Decent troll attempt, 2/8
