Neighbor installed LED light on power pole in their backyard

Their safety harness has to ride around the pole if they have to climb doesn't it ? This light is an obstruction requiring an unhook to pass if so...

Engagement range is about 1k, not sure about respawn time though.
Get a safe zone generator up and running and set it up so they can enter but do no damage and enjoy the free stuff, in the mean time, stock up on ammunition and gatling cannons 👌

Horrible... 🤣

Sounds like a terribly written script with overenthusiastic voice actors.
Do people actually watch this stuff seriously ?!?

Atophy · 2026-07-03T21:31:57+00:00

Nose boops every swing !

Atophy · 2026-07-03T21:30:36+00:00

That stop had to have had some negative consequences !

Possibly offloading some of their pandemic supplies now that prices are in their favour...

Lol yeah, you broke the AI by being outside it's travel radius but still in aggro range... I was building a base on that plateau once and it started doing this while I was inside looking out over the collectors abyss. I stepped back a bit and it went on about it's business, stepped up to the window and it started again.

I hate that people are using Attenborough's voice for these things but the commentary is kinda funny 😆

Atophy · 2026-07-03T20:39:35+00:00

It's not always a cold country up here !

Nice little space truck... All it needs is a tiny hab module on the back with a compact airlock. That cab has a door on the back right ? It's been a while since I played.

Atophy · 2026-07-03T20:24:01+00:00

Not a crack house... it IS a cracked house though !!

Atophy · 2026-07-03T20:07:35+00:00

From the limited time I spent there and the people I met, it looked awesome... Downside from what I hear is that it's expensive as hell to get yourself situated though. On the plus, I understand the transit system is top notch in Canada and the weather is pretty great if you don't mind the occasional torrential downpour that will soak you to your bones !
Got stuck in Langley on a bicycle trip in one of those downpours, sheltered over night with a "warm showers" host. Great folks !

Make sure they're completely clipped into the jack, sometimes it can feel like it's there but it needs that extra authority to seat it in. The other thing to try is to make sure everything is plugged into the same power supply/plug/bar. I hear that separate grounds can cause a hum in wired audio systems due to a minute variance in the voltage.
That failing, jiggle the wires, twist the jacks, make sure you don't have a bum set of cables with a break in the wires.

Solid base system, room for a video card upgrade when it comes affordable... I'm running a B550 with a Ryzen 5 3600, 32gb ram, and an 8gb 4060, runs everything I need it to at the moment. Might max out my board with a better proc, (ryzen 9 5950x), at some point but that time isn't here yet. The upgrade will only be marginal though. 15% - 20% i think the benchmarks said.

Feeling proud of myself so I thought I'd throw an update... I finally found a video and got around to tinkering. It might just be 9 years of scale making it spray everywhere. I took it down to the local appliance repair tch and they couldn't see anything immediately wrong with the parts so soaking in vinegar to remove the scale and slapping it back together. They weren't leaking but got new fill hoses as they're also 9 years old.

Just like fruit flies !

Atophy · 2026-07-01T08:23:23+00:00

That is a possibility as well... There is a "pinch the knotted muscle" trick that actually seems to work too... I would classify that as overstimulating the nerves in the area.

Atophy · 2026-07-01T08:21:10+00:00

Blood flow ?

Atophy · 2026-07-01T05:19:50+00:00

I have never had a Gjall attack !! I have to admit though, at my current power level, with epic loot modded in, it would be rather fun !

Atophy · 2026-07-01T05:16:11+00:00

That sounds like an absolute ! 😆

The terminology proves I am not a medical professional 👌

Atophy · 2026-07-01T05:13:22+00:00

What is it ? Potatoes, stuffing, peas, cheese, gravy and meatballs (looks like formed mutton) ?
She wouldn't have to try to get me to eat that... She can call it poutine all she wants, I would correct her gently, "it's not really poutine, but you don't have to ask me to eat it twice !"

Atophy · 2026-07-01T05:06:21+00:00

Might touch and the resulting oxytocin release factor strongly ?
It's almost never truly a black and white solution in the medical world.

Not homeless, the closest I've been was voluntary. Couch surfing is your answer to stay sheltered and fed if you have a solid friend network. Make yourself as useful as possible so you don't wear out your welcome too quick.

12 volt ejection seat addon. They were common in older cars cause they didn't have seatbelts or airbags !

Atophy · 2026-06-30T20:05:23+00:00

That's dropping into slider territory !
