While I take a break from the destruction, I wana talk about something I've been learning from this boat experience. First, that everything in the world has an entire Talmud worth of lore beside it. Like you think you know about paint if you painted some walls in a house once? Wrong! Paint is incomprehensibly complex. If you want it to stick to various materials? even more so! I'm not even talking color theory, just getting the stuff to survive its environment and stick to the thing you're painting it onto.

But then, at the same time, when it comes to hardware, almost everything is just a remix of the same few principles. I guess how music is just a couple notes put in the right sequence, well there aren't too many new things you can do in hardware. You can basically just wedge and roll and clamp and crap like that. Modern machine theory has moved past the Six Simple Machines, but its still a pretty damn good description of the world.
