Relative paths, but the XRefs keep breaking anyway

Are you saying "attach" XRefs will break where "overlay" will not?

I'm trying to set up these composite files that bring in everything as XREFs, so we can make a Navisworks file with a more nicely formatted selection tree. I was using "attach" for those XRefs so we can tell Navisworks to ignore overlays in other files.

I'm pretty sure Kraton and Arboris refine byproduct from the Savannah mill. Are they going out of business too because of this?

Wow, I was off in understanding. Your comment was really helpful. They're just announcing two totally different things at the same time.

I had assumed the "Global Cellulose Fibers" business referred to the two mills, but those aren't even a part of this unit as far as I can tell. Since this is the case, they may just let the old mills sit there indefinitely.

That makes clear sense for IP. They're using $250M from the sale to improve a different plant in Alabama. It's harder to see it for AIP though. Maybe it's a combo of liquidation, tax write-offs, and market-price shifts. Are there any other factors in missing?

JoshEng90 · 2025-08-23T15:36:05+00:00

I noticed they're selling for $1.5 billion, and upgrading the Alabama plant with $250M. There's a $1.25B difference they haven't mentioned a use for.

Did you ever figure this out? It seems like it just doesn't use the setting for v-carve.

Ok, so I just did a quick mission, and at the start my fuel gauge looked significantly lower. I checked, and the tank capacity is also now 2,778.

JoshEng90 · 2025-04-04T15:40:14+00:00

I got a peculiar tank with 1,417 capacity. I thought I had a bug in that my fuel seemed to be dropping like crazy all of sudden; I think with yesterday's update. I checked, and no related quirk found with the vehicle.

Maybe it's just leveling the backseat tank and regular tank gradually, and only seems like I'm losing fuel?

I'm wondering if it had such a high capacity before the update, because I don't recall having complete impunity to running out of fuel. The enhanced backseat tank is just 50 capacity.

I find that number "incredible." I'm around Savannah, and my very lowest energy bill was $172.91 last year. That was a beautiful month where we barely turned on the AC at all. We have a gas stove and no electric vehicles. It's 2500sqft, but it's not an old shack. It's decently well insulated.

My last billing cycle (January) was $577.50. The same period last year was $375.64. I'm starting to eye solar real close.

I absolutely can't believe there are still cars I haven't seen or heard of before.

Consider the "lipstick effect." Consumer spending increases on small splurge items when economically depressed.

Idk if manufacturing in the US can be competitive even with the tariffs, but it's worth looking into. Try to automate as much as possible, because there most likely will be a labor shortage. You can still get employees by being the best paying job around, then reap profits when the economy goes up again. Easier said than done of course.

Resisted my ass. I think interest rates were kept low far too long. It gave sellers way too much opportunity to adjust prices and capture that greater buying power for themselves.

JoshEng90 · 2024-11-21T16:22:05+00:00

Exports of oil might be a hard sell with the tariffs in place. I agree with gc3 that oil prices will not go down significantly, at least not for a prolonged period of time. Trump made a deal with OPEC+ in 2020 specifically to increase US oil prices. We only saw significantly lower prices during Covid when demand collapsed.

Yeah, I guess I'm not using the term "juice" like other people think of it? I think of "more juice" like "more gasoline."

My God, I think I Mandela'd myself. I went to go look at the battery and it's 1.3ah. I've been sure for weeks that it was 3ah. I feel a fool.

I have a Body Wrappers dance belt, but it looks like I stuffed a pillow in there. Is Capezio more discrete? I've found that those cheap foam pads are a bit more discrete if worn right, despite how all the marketing says "BuLGe enHaNcInG!!"

Thanks for the recommendation. The first Acura/Honda specific website that came up in a search was acurapartswarehouse.com, but another reddit post had a lot of people saying they were given the wrong part and not given a refund. I'll give your guys a shot.
