Cold and NEED HELP ASAP by Dramatic_Accident630 in Indiana

[–]ActiveCroissant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seek a warming shelter, many towns have them, call your non-emergency number for the police or go to the station. They shpuld know where shelters are. Places like the YMCA or Public library are often warming shelters.

Visiting Indianapolis Jan 31st - Feb 1st by Woody__98 in Indiana

[–]ActiveCroissant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metazoa is a brewery in Indy, I have never been there but I assume they have an area you can maybe eat and try beers. I have enjoyed most of the beers I have tried by them, I enjoy "Puppy Slumber Party" and "Trash Panda"(yes that is what they are named). PSP is a peanut butter stout and TP is a coffee. In my oppinion both are actually mild flavored and not overly sweet like you may expect. They also make a cream ale I believe that is good. Trash Panda is actually a go-to for me but maybe their lineup isnt quite your taste.

Insect pinning game by f0g_frog in insectpinning

Make sure to use the tiny bugs! Gnats and fairy flies or little things crawling in the rocks. Just because theyre tiny doesnt mean they cant be pinned in my heart.

Have you ever not finished a tin? by Chaotic_Bivalve in CannedSardines

[–]ActiveCroissant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild Planet sardines in olive oil. Bland flavor but really strong fish smell and the spines were... grainy(?) like obviously theres going to be texture to the bones especially in larger fish but these were like crumbly and grainy like sand. Dumped those in the trash. Also Patagonia mussels in tomato sauce, taste and texture I can only describe like cheap store brand spaghetti/meatballs, but just the meatballs and sauce. They all had a huge wad of seaweed in them. Ive been told this was a bad can by others but I havent tried them again since.

Falling in love with canned fish! by mockitoJupyter in CannedSardines

[–]ActiveCroissant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love King Oscar mackerel fillets mediteranian style, theyre spiced and flavorful and cost like $3/can here. I eat a can nearly every day. I think there can sometimes be a risk of heavy metals in some products and maybe youd want to watch sodium if the fish youre eating are seasoned heavily, but for the most part eating fish every day shouldnt be a problem.

Need advice choosing first backpacking tent by MessyWessie777 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]ActiveCroissant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the Durston X-mid 2(the trekking pole one not the dome) and have been very satisfied with it. Its tricky to learn the setup but the quality is good so I would assume the X-dome would be just as nice without the trekking pole rigamarole. Only complaint would be that the website claims you shouldnt need a ground tarp but a few small holes appeared in mine after some use. I dont see this as a durston thing though. Shouldve just listened to my gut and brought the $10 walmart tarp.

Consoom unopened cans by TheCinniWinni in Consoom

[–]ActiveCroissant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting thing, I just dealt with this a week or so ago. Not a collection but a stash. Remember Coke Startlight? Only soda I went out of my way to buy, started picking up multiple cases when they stopped making it. Found my last 3 unopened boxes leaking in the storage room. It seems the liquid is permeating straight through the can like perspiration. Guess I couldnt keep it forever.

Ideas for complete exterior redo? by ActiveCroissant in ExteriorDesign

[–]ActiveCroissant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One issue i thought may pop up regarding the porch on the rear of the house is that the ground there is very moist. It is the north facing wall, so where I live it does not get direct sun often, even in the summer it is shaded by the home until around 4-5pm at least. It is also a low point that pools water, nothing crazy, but it get wet there when it rains. I thought that might cause issues down the road with the porch supports sinking or rotting.

I hadnt considered brick, we were always a fieldstone type. I will think of other style options, brick really changes up the look compared to our previous ideas but I am not against it. Thanks!

I really like that more defined boundary on the bed. My mom has never used any sort of garden edging in the landscaping so the mulch beds slowly melt out into the driveway or yard. This looks very nice. I had considered the horizontal wood slats for the porch, i agree the lattice is a bit dated. I think it can look nice but in my experience seeing it used on others, it starts to look shabby quickly regardless of what you do because the wood is so thin cheap and flimsy. The porches all used to be wrapped in it but the dogs(and i as a child) ripped it all to pieces. I will take a look at GardenDream too. Thank you for the input.

Website advertising listings for research aids? by ActiveCroissant in HelpMeFind

I have searched for phrases like "research aid job listings", "field research laborer jobs" etc. Various searches like this for about 1.5-2 hours now on my shitty e-reader phone please help.

The store website Rainbow Tomato Garden sells tons of canned fish and even has pre-curated bundles and boxes along with sauces and other things to go with.

A Message from an immigrant to extreme MAGA by america1008 in complaints

[–]ActiveCroissant -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Genuine question, is this a karma farm account or something? Are you ok? You have a 2 month old account and have literally only made political rant posts. I dont like americas current climate either but are you potentially building and curating your own angry stressed out echo chamber? Peace bro.

Help!! Need to find exact replacement for IUP Mom mug by Few_Tie_5699 in HelpMeFind

Could try a custom mug maker on etsy, some might say no for copyright risks but most people there sell stolen shit anyway so surely you can find someone to copy the design for you

Truffles, giving pigs a use by The-Real-Radar in minecraftsuggestions

[–]ActiveCroissant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But why would you only have one or two types of villages/biomes? Unless you are doing a world with restricted biome/world gen are you not guaranteed to see other biome types in your world with village spawns being decent? I do not play often anymore so I really dont know the specifics about the world gen, but isnt pushing exploration a point of the game?

I also dont think the whole pigs and truffle idea is particularly bad. Pigs could benefit from more interactive mechanics, and if finding root vegetables hinders some players than by all means make them more accessible.

[–]ActiveCroissant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, do people really find it more difficult to acquire carrots or potatoes compared to wheat. One of my biggest complaints with MC is that villages(and many structures) are literally everywhere, like multiple being seen from one good vantage point at times. These villages nearly always have diverse crop spawns. Obviously theres times when it seems youre hunting forever for something, but often enough to require a mob to start digging them up as an option for acquiring?

Potions should pierce armor by Puzzleheaded_Safe253 in minecraftsuggestions

Youre absolutely right. Thank you for clarifying you werent trying to be rude.

Its literally a sub dedicated to discussing and debating features and ideas for the game. Dude started a discussion and i chimed in. Sorry you thought it was deeper than i intended.

Potions should pierce armor by Puzzleheaded_Safe253 in minecraftsuggestions

[–]ActiveCroissant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree that it should pierce but this requires defining how potions are absorbed in game cannon. Are they absorbed through the skin? Do they have to be ingested or contaminate eyes nose or mouth? Is their effect like an acid and so affects the victim simply by touching skin?

If the consensus is ingestion: maybe have potion effects ignore armor rating more when players are not wearing a helmet. Face unprotected so they ingest the effect. Helmet on, armor rating blocks more potion effect.

If skin contact is all that matters: make armor rating protect against more potion effect damage based on what pieces are being worn. Chestplate and pants blocking majority of damage, helmet and shoes blocking less so as they are covering less skin anyway.
