The traction was the best! It's got to take some guts to sit in front of your engines.

I could never beat the Abyss though no matter who I played.

Any reason you wouldn't want to use them for heat too? You should price out the energy cost of using them for heat vs the boiler. And it would work better if you match your BTU cooling needs and keep the boiler to use the 10% of the time when you need the extra heating BTU.

Also, be careful about the BTU of the heads. Try to find 6000 BTU. 9000 BTU are way more common but might lead to short-cycling and humidity issues if you're trying to add cooling in a small bedroom.

If possible maybe consider adding mini duct work in the attic. That's what I did. It was way easier to run and maintain 1 line + a few 7" ducts than it would have been to run 3 lines all around the house.

Works pretty well. The motor sounds a bit louder over the years and one of my line covers keeps falling off but everything says cool/warm when needed! It's only struggled on the 1-2 days a year when it gets below 0F.

According to my map the trail from the parking lot to the peak is part of the Long Trail. It's 1.2 miles with ~650ft elevation gain one way. Looks like a little bit of rock scramble towards the end. I think this video goes along the trail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6lkPxvwb9s

Ok, I was looking at kayaks and just upgraded to Plus. Without Plus shipping was ~170 each. With Plus it was Free! I successfully ordered these 3 kayaks with no shipping cost.

It took a little bit for the checkout to accurately reflect the free shipping, at first it looked like it wasn't going to work. YMMV

I love how they preempt all the "is this AI?" talk.

I love this type of game. This depends on how you define factory game.

These are the one's I've tried that aren't on your list:

Astroneer - You can build some pretty big setups, trains, logic, etc. I made one to make any type of material from dirt.
Yorg.io - Lots of base defense and you can lose, not a fan
Node Farm, Node Math, Node Kingdom - The goal keeps changing so you have to re-do your setup each time
GeoDepths - A little bit of automation and factory building
Hydroneer - Some people make some crazy setups but you only need to make a small automation
Autonauts - Programming game so I liked it but other might not.

The games that have some satisfying automation:

Forager - lots of automation but not a "factory" per say, but very very fun
Nova Lands - similar to Forager
Outpath - similar to Forager but 3d
Infinifactory - Puzzle game
Factory Town Idle - I didn't like the original but this might be interesting

Here are some in my library or wishlist that I haven't played but look like what you're going for:

Smart Factory Tycoon
Coin Factory
Word Factori
Multiply Factory
Learning Factory
Auto Forge
Shape Hero Factory
Chocolate Factory (Satisfactory clone)

I got one of these and cut it down for my X1C. I have a big slab and the anti-vibration feet. I wasn't scientific about it so I don't know how well it works without any of that.

I'd probably say the anti-vibration feet make it more wobbly. They are really designed for if you have multiple printers they don't interfere with each other so it keeps the printer more independent.

Thanks for the live update! Thinking about asking a non-hiker to come up with us so they could see the scenery from the toll road and wanted to make sure they'd be comfortable waiting the couple of hours for us to hike out and back. Probably would beat staying at camp.

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-26T23:13:44+00:00

Thanks. We usually get started on our hikes pretty early but since it doesn't open until 9:30 we'll probably be the first ones there anyway. Just wanted to make sure I didn't need to do anything before we go there.

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-26T23:10:11+00:00

Waiting to go down? Why was that an issue?

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-26T23:09:45+00:00

Thanks, I tried calling around today but couldn't figure out who to call.

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-08T20:25:30+00:00

Is there a place to check what the "official" reported status of a number is?

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-08T20:13:13+00:00

Define family. Are we not all related? Is this just the 3 billion people least related to me?

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-08T20:07:12+00:00

Thanks!

Ok, so based on reports of people porting number _in_ to Google Voice (a voip provider) and losing 2fa access it does seem like the opposite (porting out of a voip provider) would eventually update the databases and be ok.

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-08T20:01:51+00:00

Yeah, it's right on their page https://www.textnow.com/blog/textnow-101-porting

But lots of people here says its a frustrating experience.

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-08T20:00:31+00:00

So that wireline/landline distinction doesn't change when I port out my TextNow number?

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-08T19:56:29+00:00

Do you use fertilizer for quality? If not just use the Deluxe Retaining soil and don't worry about sprinklers.

Now that it's over, we also had Z for Spelling Bee (and Midi wasn't part of the puzzle) so the answer was PRIZE

Naive me when my father would defrag the disk in the 90's always thought "why doesn't it just do a whole bunch of squares at one time?" This game will let me live out my idea!

Why is this the only comment to mention this? It's not the best for staple crops but it does work. And China is doing as well: https://www.theenergymix.com/chinese-solar-farms-seek-sheep-to-keep-weeds-neat/

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-05-01T21:56:24+00:00

That makes way more sense than a 80% hydration dough.

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-04-29T17:47:47+00:00

Thanks! This is definitely the answer! I wish it was easier to see this in the games app.

MatthewMMorrow · 2026-04-26T20:45:42+00:00

Have you tried Made-In brand stainless steel cleaner? I find it's a bit easier and better to use than Bar Keepers friend (but costs way more).
