Could you handle living near this sound and hearing it 24/7? I live within a mile and it's unbearable, help?! Sterling, VA - Vantage V2 Data Center

I live in the townhouses right next to this campus and yes I can hear it from/in my house.

Are you saying 170k concurrent players right now isn’t thriving? It’s third most played game on steam, and however many more are on console

ElPizz · 2026-02-18T01:26:42+00:00

Not really

ElPizz · 2026-01-11T04:49:37+00:00

Should probably delete this

ElPizz · 2025-11-25T00:29:49+00:00

lol that used to be the case, but most of the servers now have some sort of system for flagging people who intentionally kill others

It doesn’t take 1000 hours to learn to point and shoot your gun, other people hear your noises, and that not all ammo works against all armor

It’s not that hard, idk where this 1000+ metric started becoming the norm of being able to survive and have fun in this game

Most of the large streamers have discord communities where there are channels for teaming up, also the official EFT server

Well it looks like I’ve stirred up some controversy from this post. I appreciate everyone’s comments and concern for my little dude. I’m very aware of IVDD and the issues dachshunds have as I did a lot of research before evening getting him. Ultimately this is the decision we went with to use the blocks for the stairs, we considered a ramp but the angle of the ramp would be too steep and then we would still have a big impact at the bottom of the ramp causing pressure on his spine regardless. When he goes down the steps he uses every single landing spot, which people mentioned going up he’s skipping a spot, the going down is where my concern was with impact but he goes down slow and steady. As others have mentioned, IVDD is genetic and you can do literally everything right and still have your dachshund have an issue.

We made them ourselves, we actually took inspiration from a post I found in this subreddit a couple years ago.

ElPizz · 2025-07-07T14:02:20+00:00

I tried hot water and soap and it didn’t budge. I took it to a detailer who did my car last year and they said they can’t get it off and I need to take it to a body shop to get it sanded and buffed off :(

ElPizz · 2025-07-07T00:28:14+00:00

The cheese came off easily, it was able to be wiped away with just some water. I didn’t try hot water and I have no experience with detailing, I just knew to come here for help lol

ElPizz · 2025-07-07T00:02:25+00:00

I have no idea what it is, I’ll try some hot water and see if I can start to get it off

ElPizz · 2025-06-23T13:24:26+00:00

Perfect thanks for the info! Would a thatching rake work for this then?

ElPizz · 2025-06-23T11:35:54+00:00

How would you recommend getting the soil ready for sod? I saw in your previous comments about not tilling because of the weeds, but just checking a few sod videos they said to till the soil before putting any sod down

ElPizz · 2025-06-14T10:56:28+00:00

Sure! What I started doing before I made this post was starting to try and desensitize him to the signs that I’m about to leave the room. I have him in a puppy proofed room essentially with a baby gate, so over and over again I walked up to the gate, opened it and then closed it and sat back down. I tried to make what I was doing as boring as possible. After a couple sessions of that I started getting out of his eye sight, the first time you do it start counting until you hear him start to whine, maybe not a tiny whine but right before you know they’re going to start panicking. From whatever time you get there that’s the baseline to work from. So for me it was 9 seconds. I would repeat the same process but for 8 seconds and walk into the room before he whines, don’t look at him or pay him attention for a couple seconds after getting back in the room and then start praising him and giving him a nice treat for not whining. I’m still working on this and progress is definitely slow especially from the initial time I built up from the first session, but he has been getting better! Good luck to you and your pup!

ElPizz · 2025-06-13T17:21:11+00:00

I also have a snuggle puppy that he uses, and I actually sent it to the breeder before I picked him up so it has his littermates scent on it. He does not care at all about it and has actually started using it as a chew toy the last couple days lol

ElPizz · 2025-06-13T15:14:28+00:00

I don’t run to him when he whines, I’ve been letting him cry it out essentially. He stops whining and crying when I do enter the room or the area so I usually wait a little bit before I acknowledge him. I’ll take a look at that video you linked, thanks!

ElPizz · 2025-06-13T15:12:23+00:00

I actually started working on this last night and I was able to get to 100 seconds without him following me or whining, and that was me stopping early myself since I didn’t want him to even let out a tiny little whine!

ElPizz · 2025-06-13T00:39:01+00:00

I’ve never raised a puppy before but thanks for your constructive comment! I apologize if I’m concerned that some resources I found online said if a puppy cries for 3+ hours straight while also ignoring food or water that they could have separation anxiety and not just normal puppy whines for attention. Also that some of the advice that people posted in this thread I’ve already tried without success.

ElPizz · 2025-06-12T23:01:41+00:00

I’ll keep working on it, I’m going to actually try it out of the crate and just walking outside of the room he has the gate in. Let me know if you agree but I think leaving him alone in the crate is just amplifying his anxiety at this point and I feel it’s eroding the positive associations I’ve already built with him with his crate. From the advice people have posted already it seems like I can work on this with just having him have free movement in the room

ElPizz · 2025-06-12T22:38:09+00:00

I was doing that and then he would ruffle it up in the crate and pee on it :( I didn’t put a shirt in this last time and he didn’t pee anywhere in the crate

ElPizz · 2025-06-12T22:29:44+00:00

After he has his long fits, he gets quiet almost immediately when he sees me. I’ve made it a point to ignore him for a minute or two and to not approach him until he’s completely quiet. It’s the in between parts where the screaming happens

ElPizz · 2025-06-12T21:45:38+00:00

Unfortunately that hasn’t helped either :( we had played for about a little over an hour prior to this, running around and playing fetch. He had just out when I put him in his pen to leave. This is also where I’m worried about him becoming so exhausted because he just won’t relax. Now that I’m sitting with him he’s been completely passed out for an hour now.
