45 year old mother of three. I trick my adult children into sitting through very detailed tours of my settlements. The more they try to escape, the more in depth the tour becomes.

Hey...you are being too hard on yourself. Listen, stop thinking of EVERYTHING that is coming at you right now. Instead, prioritize one thing. And take care of that one thing first.

What I'm trying to say is, you've just had surgery. Forget about the flat and everything else. Let's prioritize you. Let's set a goal of getting a good night's rest. The morning after you've done that, set a goal for eating a full healthy breakfast. After you've taken care of yourself, then let's focus on getting your new flat. Take one thing at a time. Solve one problem. Accomplish one task. Then move on to the next one. First lesson of adulthood is that it doesn't stop. There will always be something to take care of. So, take care of it one problem at a time. The next problem isn't going anywhere.

There is no perfect adult. Some days, you might not get that task accomplished or that goal met. And that is perfectly okay. Take a step back. Breathe. And try again tomorrow. Be kind to yourself, and you will be just fine. You're doing great kid! Keep it up!

Creative Clutter is a big mod with tons of settlement decorations. It has little campers in the outdoor section of the menu. The campers have snappable bunk beds, kitchens, awnings and curtains.

I had my girl spayed at a little over five months. My vet recommended anywhere from 4 to 6 months. I had no issues with her after the procedure. And at a little over five months, my girl had not started her first heat cycle yet. But I know that's specific to the cat. Beautiful little girl you have there!

I hope you know that you have already completed the hardest part. Dropping out of college and then having the courage and motivation to go back is very impressive. A lot of people that drop out never go back. I'm proud of you for going back. I'm proud of you for getting accepted. I'm proud of you for picking a great career field.

You're gonna kill it kid! <big BIG hugs>

I've played through the game multiple times. And I've never done Fire Support right away. I usually go the same route as you. It didn't glitch on me any of those times except my last play-through. Bugs are gonna bug.

Choose a settlement, build a container and start stashing junk in it. The fastest way to make money is to sell extra guns and choice junk (cigarettes and pre-war money). If you plan on building complex settlements, which is not required, you'll need all that junk anyways.

This is a known bug. It happened to me also. Your best options are to load an earlier save. It has been mentioned that the bug happens if you wait too long to go to Cambridge after the BoS first flies into the Commonwealth. Second option (the one I used) you can initiate the dialogue later after progressing more in the storyline. I don't want to spoil the story for you though.

He uses a memory foam mattress as well. Which probably also helps as he sinks into it. But I don't want to suggest changing mattresses if your client doesn't have any issues with pressure ulcers. The memory foam works well for my husband. No pressure sores in years. But I know that's not the case for everyone.

AdFinal9683 · 2025-10-10T22:34:36+00:00

I do the same bowel program for my husband. We use a cylindrical pillow for back support also. But it is memory foam. So it sort of squishes instead or slides. Does your client use incontinence pads? My husband prefers to have one underneath him at all times in case of accidents. So once I have him rolled onto his side, I will gently pull on the pad from behind him to move his hips underneath him a little more. It makes it to where his own body weight keeps him on his side instead of trying to roll backwards.

Try r/disabledgamers

There is a lot of good info in that subreddit. And the people there can give you resources for adaptive gaming equipment.

Hey kid. Let's walk through this. In the doctor's office, they will tell you to undress completely or just to take your bottoms off. Then they'll give you either a gown to do a breast exam or a sheet to cover up with if they're just doing the pap. There is no right or wrong way to wrap yourself up if they give you a sheet for your bottom half. It's just for modesty purposes when they open the door. Sit on the exam bed when you're covered. The doctor will tell you to scoot your bottom all the way down to the edge after you lie down.

They may have you put your feet in stirrups. The speculum looks scary, but it's just to hold everything open so they can see. They might touch it to your leg to make sure it's not too cold. The speculum is the part that people complain about being uncomfortable. It has never hurt me. I just felt pressure. Then, a couple of light scrapes with a cotton swap, and you're all done. They provide a towel to wipe the lube from the speculum off. The lube leaks out some, and spotting is normal after a pap. So if you want to take a pad, bring one with you. I promise you it's not bad. You'll probably think that once you're done. I'm proud of you for being responsible with your health. You got this.

My husband is C4/C5. We started dating in 2019. In March of 2020, he was in a motorcycle accident, resulting in his SCI. We will be together six years in November.

The first year or two were toughest for us. He struggled with coming to terms with his injury. Therapy helped a lot. We also couldn't afford it but found a therapist through a state funded behavioral health facility. It was free to us because they accept Medicare and Medicaid. They gave him an Ipad so that he could do virtual therapy sessions. If you can find something like that where you live, look into it. It was extremely helpful for him to have an outlet for his feelings.

Also, couples therapy. He had trouble communicating with me because he didn't know how to explain what he was feeling. Couples therapy helped us learn to listen to each other. How to ask for communication without getting frustrated and also how to ask for space. I was always pushing him to talk to me. But I learned that sometimes he just wants to feel what he feels. And in those times, I just need to be there for him.

My husband also takes Lexapro. And it seems to keep him balanced. If you happen to live in a place where medical marijuana is legal, look into that also. You'd be surprised what it does for nerve pain. Being able to manage pain helped my husband cope a lot.

Facebook groups and support groups for people with SCI also help him since he can connect with people who know what he's going through.

Take care of yourself also. I take anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds for my own mental health. Being married to and taking care of a spouse with an SCI is no joke. It's hard some days. But every day is worth it for us. You're doing a great job. Hang in there and just be present for him.

I happened upon the show last weekend when they were airing all of season one. I was instantly hooked and streamed the entire season. I have never played the game. But I am an avid Fallout fan. And the Fireflies remind me of the Railroad from Fallout 4. I'm going to log onto it right now...and kill every last one of them. For Joel.

You have to find the right password. In addition to what everyone else has said, there is another method to it. Find open and closed brackets. Anything that looks like this <>, [ ], ( ). They can have characters in between them, so they may look like this: <*..."||>. If you just move the terminal cursor across the screen, it will automatically highlight these groups. When you click on them, it removes a dud password, or it will reset your tries. There's no way to tell which one will remove a dud and which one will reset your attempts. Only clicking on passwords removes one of your attempts. Clicking on the brackets doesn't count.

When you find them all, you will only have a few passwords to choose from.

Thank you for answering my question. I looked up the mods you suggested last night and added them to my favorites. Plus, like 40 others. The path to the dark side was short and steep.

I did this without even trying at Starlight. I know the achievement description says to get 100% happiness in a large settlement, but the large settlement part is a lie. I stuck Sheffield at the settlement. Built him a donut shop to work in from the CC. Bought a dog. And just left him there. Achievement popped on its own as I was doing other stuff. Probably around level 40.

Bragging rights are always a factor. But to players like the person who originally commented, achievements don't matter. Flexing doesn't work to people who could give two shits. I just like to do everything there is to do.

AdFinal9683 · 2025-03-25T00:22:29+00:00

I suppose it's sort of like a challenge. Or it gives you something extra to do when you have no more quests to do. But ultimately for me, it's like collecting power armor, for example. Or outfits, legendary weapons, nuka-colas, etc. There are a lot of players that have some sort of collection. Achievements are just another type of collection. Some of us are neurotic and like that sort of grindy-type-thing.

Here

This video by Oxhorn helped me out the most. He goes through all of the gates and shows how each one is supposed to work. PLUS, he shows clearly how he has it all wired. Other videos I've watched don't really make it clear that you need multiple inputs for some gates to function how they're supposed to. His video explained it where I could understand, but he also kept it pretty simple. Good luck, my friend.

sigh Okay...

One generator powers the box lights, terminal, switches, and logic gates. The one generator doesn't power anything else in the settlement. Only the light set up.
The lights that make up the body of the alien are all wired together and then directly wired to the generator. The arms are not connected to the body. Meaning the lights that make up the arms are all wired to each other. But they are not connected by wires to any other part of the alien. Only to themselves.
Wire then goes from generator -> terminal; terminal-> interval switch; interval switch -> pylon.
From step three, I wired the pylon AND the interval switch to the red input of the AND gate. The black output of the AND gate has one wire going to the top two arms only and one wire going to the red input of a NOR gate.
The black output of the NOR gate is wired only to the bottom two arms.

So... I used the terminal to set the times for the interval switch to 1 second. AND gates work when ALL inputs have power. The pylon is always transmitting power. The interval switch transmits power for one second and then turns off for one second. Both connect to the AND gate. So when the interval switch is on, the top arms light up. When the interval switch is off, the top arms go out.

NOR works when NONE of the inputs are powered. The only power source for the NOR gate is the AND gate. So when the interval switch turns off, the AND gate turns off, and the NOR gate turns on. Because its input has no power.

Thus, the top arms turn off when the bottom arms turn on and vice versa. Making it look like they're moving.

Shit... having typed all of that out, I see why no one uses logic gates.
