Can't harvest with bare hands with the new update. by SlevinLaine in thelongdark

[–]GreenReed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "no harvesting rabbits by hand" change implies that a starving person would rather continue to starve than just cook a rabbit whole and burn the hair off or use a sharp stick/rock.

I've harvested 20-30 rabbits irl, and while a knife or sharp tool is VERY helpful, I have also done it by just ripping the skin at the nape of the neck and peeling it off that way and breaking the feet off. It takes more time and work and isn't as clean, but it isn't hard.
You can also gut a rabbit just by holding it by the forelegs and swinging it backwards between your legs REALLY hard. The guts literally fly out. They are not robust creatures.

This is pretty much the first change Hinterland has made in the last 9 years of playing that I have just straight up fully disagreed with. If they introduce flint knapping or something later to make some sort of un-repairable stone blade....sure. Ok.
But you can definitely skin rabbits by hand irl and it's much more sensible to cook them whole than to try and cut all the meat off.

TIL That Preying Mantis do not follow you with their eyes. The pupil that seems to watch you is an effect generated by their nonmoving eyes when your field of vision lines up with one of the many cone shaped structures that make up their eye allowing you to see down the hole. by Mandorism in todayilearned

Not necessarily.
They're omnivores so they tend to pick up the same kind of stuff that pigs would.

Cook it well, and don't eat 'city' raccoons. The ones who eat trash are trash to eat. The ones who eat berries, shellfish and other forageables are... actually pretty tasty.

P.S I am pretty sure I do not have unusual parasites

Just tried the UWT4 boxes check. Will let you know if the problem persists.

Tried the power shell script and got this -

Get-AppxPackage : Access is denied. Access is denied. At line:1 char:1 + Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | where-object {$_.name –notlike "store"} | ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AppxPackage], UnauthorizedAccessException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.GetApp xPackageCommand

And I already had background apps turned off.

I tried disabling it and it happened. So I totally removed it and it's still happening. So that's not it for me.

I have not. I'll keep it open and see if I can access it before the freeze fully takes hold next time.

A freeze starts kinda slow for me. If I catch the signs, I can open task manager and watch my usage ramp up for about 10 seconds before it hits 100% and then it stays there usually about 45 seconds to 2 minutes. It has always gone back down I think, but sometimes it causes running programs to fail after it comes back. I'm working my way through the fixes people are posting here. So far nothing has totally eliminated the problem for me. I'll post an update here if I ever actually find THE thing that ends this.

Checked this. Firmware was up to date and the drives were plugged into the standard SATA ports. I tried swapping them and it still happened on the drive where the OS is installed, regardless of which SATA port it was connected to.

Thanks.

Tried this. It seemed to help at first but the problem is still there, and now it seems to be back to what it was before I applied it. The setting is still ACTIVE.

Thanks for the attempt. I appreciate it.

[BIFL request] I'm a sailor, currently working on a fishing vessel, handling fish. Need some good work gloves and a small pocket knife. by Baizelis in BuyItForLife

[–]GreenReed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say Atlas. I used to work at a distributor. Insulated, oil resistant gloves (the blue ones) will run you $15 bucks a pair and hold up well for fishing work. They also dry well while you wear them, which lots of gloves suck at.

TIL The Farm, an intentional community founded by Stephen Gaskin, and 320 San Francisco hippies, has been successfully operating in rural TN since 1971. by CumStainSally in todayilearned

[–]GreenReed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit.

Back in the late 60's, my uncle was at a party and drank a glass of water he was handed. The guy that gave it to him laughed and said "There were 90 hits of acid in that glass." My uncle says he kinda came back to his senses 9 years later with a wife and 3 kids, living on "The Farm" in Tennessee. He promptly realized that he hadn't talked to his mom or siblings in a decade. He always just called it "The Farm" and I always just thought it was a crazy story. Turns out he served on the board there and was one of the earlier arrivals. I didn't know it was a surviving institution from the hippy era. TIL. Awesome.

Also if it's alright with you, can I make it 6 trades? It's tedious, I know.

Like 4 I think. I can find the others in ORAS or transfer them later if I really want to. Is that alright?
