I just got an OTP package and all went well.

If the problem is theft by drivers, then the OTP is counter productive as it alerts the driver that this particular package contains a high value item, so they can easily swap it or fool the system.

Currently sailing to Mexico. You need to obtain an import permit for your boat into Mexico, even for short time. It's called a Temporary Import Permit, TIP and at today's rate is just under $20. You can ask for it between 11 and 60 days before arrival in Mexico. The application is done online at https://www.banjercito.com.mx/registroVehiculos/# Top right switches to english if needed.

You will need your boat registration (Federal Coast Guard Documentation or State issued Registration) Passport of boat owner

If the boat is owned by an LLC you'll need more ownership proof.

On arrival in Mexico you must contact immigration and customs. You'll need to fill in paperwork and present crew list and crew passports. Declare any alcohol, controlled medication and similar. Until you have sorted this you should fly flag Q, quarantine yellow flag. Once you have been given authorization (clearance) into the country you take Q flag down and replace with a Mexican courtesy flag, flown on Starboard side.

Failure to do the above can land you in major trouble.

Thanks for not putting any spoilers in the title. Will be watching it in about 1 hour.

Zelda. Breath of the wild.

Just find it repetitive. I'm probably not doing it right, but i get bored every time I try.

I already donate regularly for websites that matter to me, so wouldn't have a problem with donating to my favorite instances. Somehow I'm OK with semi-regular donations at my pace, but not with mandatory subscriptions. I'm just weird?

Absolutely. This feels so much better. Hopefully we dont mess it up as it grows.

The more I use it, the happier I am. I'm an old geezer who was tinkering with computers way back when 8K was an outrageous amount of RAM. This reminds me of why I became a geek to begin with.

Be excellent to each other.

My new motto for the time being.

Being patient is where it's at. In any case, many sellers include the "free" shipping in their costs, so it’s not rare to find a say a $20 item with Prime for $215 plus $5 shipping with another seller.

Amazon often has free shipping over $25 so over the months we just slowly add items in our cart, then buy by just over $25 increments to get free shipping.

The reality is that ads work. That's why they even exist and companies pay so much for them. The safest way to not be influenced by them is to not see them.

Block them, skip them, use ad free media

I wonder if uBlock Origin and other ad blocks will work against that crap. Not that I intend to use Reddit anymore anyway.

And growing. What an amazing show of solidarity. Hopefully a good percentage of the millions of users of these subs will find new homes on Lemmy and start afresh.
