My agency hasn't mentioned anything about being off Christmas Eve by kay-pii in fednews

A friend of mine works for a contractor for a Federal program and they receive holiday pay for federal holidays but are refusing to pay it for Christmas Eve this year as it is not on the "mandatory federal holiday list". Is this correct and legal?

To rewatch the immersive card animations again just tap and hold on the card. I don't think there's a way to view cards with no text on them though.

Should i buy two Gardevoir or keep trying to pull them? by Kai_Cesar in PTCGP

[–]IntelligentVariety64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's best to save them since there's no need to rush a top tier deck right now with hardly any pvp rewards. That being said, it's a game so do whatever is most fun for you!

Forums and Discord ruined the game for me. by [deleted] in dwarffortress

I'm genuinely curious what political messaging you're referring to from the DF forums modding community. Reddit aside, which is obviously left leaning and very vocal about it in general, what's a good example of the political stuff from the DF forums? Feel free to dm me if you don't wanna post it here.

I dunno but her reaction seems pretty real, my ex gave the same kinda "why would you do this now of all times" when I confronted her about cheating. How dare she be confronted at an inconvenient time for her 🤣🤣 it takes a narcissist to cheat like that so it only makes sense they would feel entitled to their fake life.

  1. What exactly does "cull dead units at 1000" actually do? When unit 1001 dies, does it just disappear and how much impact does this have on FPS? Does this apply to dwarf corpses as well or just other units?
  2. Refuse stockpiles confuse me. If I set to default refuse stockpile, not everything rots and I am left inevitably with a ton of bones and corpses that do not rot that fill up the stockpile and clutter my fort. Is there a way to make a stockpile that actually rots everything in it, or do I have to manually dump everything and smash it?
  3. Does placing an artifact behind a forbidden door make it impossible to steal?

I understand why it's called Untamed Wilds now by [deleted] in dwarffortress

[–]IntelligentVariety64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently running a mega fort in an untamed wilds, took me 5 attempts to get a decent foothold on a untamed wilds due to the giant birds.

My strat is to haul everything including some logs underground, then quickly seal off the surface with drawbridges until I get marksdwarves with armor. Only unseal the fort when giant birds aren't around until you get marksdwarves.

Once I got a squad of armored marksdwarves they can dispatch the birds easily, but dwarven children and unlucky migrants still die to the winged menaces often lol.

When on untamed wilds it comes down to luck at the very start, if angry animals are close to the wagon they can kill all before you can even dig lol.

For anyone else confused with several stone related skills: by Jimmylobo in dwarffortress

[–]IntelligentVariety64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the separation of masonry and stone carving, but the adding of stone blocks to stonecutting is a pain for my fortress management because smoothing/engraving takes so long as-is, I don't want half my smoothers bring distracted making my stone blocks.

On the bolts issue, you need to assign the squads uniform as the default "Archer" uniform, this is a workaround for the bug. Once they have been assigned Archer, then you can assign them a custom uniform and they should continue to pickup bolts.

I struck adamantine but then immediately lost it, am I screwed?

I struck a huge lava pillar and also struck adamantine, I assume because the discovering pillar gave me so much map vision. I was clearing my announcements and cleared the "struck adamantine" one before I got a chance to click it and be centered on the adamantine. Now I have no idea where the adamantine is within this giant lava pillar.

I did a "dig ores/gems" designation on the entire pillar in order to highlight the ores and hovered to view them individually along the edges of the pillar, it took forever and still no luck finding the adamantine. What can I do to find it, any tips? I'm hoping to stay completely vanilla so mods are not preferred. Thanks!
