The show is loosely based on a standalone Sandman spinoff comic that I think is quite good.

My industry still uses fathoms

Used to work with a radio enthusiast on sailing ships, he’d make posts to social media and check his email literally 1000 miles out to sea via radio.

I love old gravestones, I wish things like winged skulls and whimsical poems were still in fashion.

In tropical regions it’s common for ripe oranges to be green

We were in Puerto Rico for our winter maintenance period, just starting to bring on crew for the sailing season. I’ve never worked on a boat where people drink underway and I don’t think I’d want to.

On boats you usually don’t get told you’re fired until you reach port.

Working on a boat. We got a new shipmate who had worked there on previous seasons, most of us didn’t know him but he was good friends with another member of the crew. The day he got in the two of them spent the night catching up and getting absolutely trashed. Night ended with new guy stumbling in to the cook’s cabin and pissing right on the cook while he was sleeping. New guy was fired that morning without having worked a single day.

  • cut the neck off a plastic bottle
  • thread the end of the bag through
  • fold the bag open around the bottle neck
  • close the cap, trapping the bag between the bottle neck and the cap.

I’m sure it works but any other method of closing the bag from the top two rows are better imo, at least for bread.
