Lovely!

Guardians Our TV crew is very good, but Hamilton on the radio is a legend.

I'm scared not enough people misspent summers on Lake Erie to give this genius-level post the number of likes it deserves.

I honestly don't think I could afford that. I do have a 5lb bag of King Arthur Unbleached All Purpose Flour in my pantry... would that work?

Ok, with a better understanding of your fancy metric system 😉, and looking at pictures of what your media tab indicates is your ship, I'm going to guess 16 tonnes. This is still a wildly uninformed guess by someone who has no experience in any related field.

Hmm ... going to drink more coffee to get my brain back into math mode and try again.

But I cannot conceptualize that much water as a volume, so I have no idea if that is feasible

56,000 litres? Going with 140 litres, per day, per person, in the UK. It seems the lighthouse is remotely operated and in a bird sanctuary, but maybe they want the equivalent of one person's water per day, in a year's supply of water plus a buffer month, so 400 days worth.

I’ve always loved the origin of the word amateur on this kind of note- it’s literally from the Latin word for love, someone who is doing the thing but not for money, just for love. Doing things for love is good.
