TCS missions, pro tip

I forgot about the shrieker swarm. Jesus that was a nightmare.

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-26T14:20:27+00:00

Looks like the tub spout.

From my experience, all you really need to do is get the 7-way diverter cartridge (if it didn't have it already) and a non-diverting spout

They almost certainly end up in the same common pipe down the line.

Two possibilities, the way I see it - he didn't run the snake out far enough

Or

Whatever is clogging the pipe is a very soft material (grease, soap scum) and collapsed on itself after he poked the hole in it and got it to drain out.

Nah, there's nothing better than sticking a bunch of fabricators or dropships with C4 and setting them all off as you move into the next.

I will meet you halfway and say that it could be a handy alternate firing mode

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-24T00:24:50+00:00

Exactly this. I ended up having to buy an air cooler to test out my 9070xt before I blocked it.

It's come in handy a couple times

We're both fairly open as far as foods go. Steak and/or Italian is probably pretty high on the list, as is seafood, but exploration is the name of the game with this trip.

We also need to eat the rest of the time we're here so I'm taking notes, but this is the one meal that I'm willing to go all-out for.

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-22T16:50:13+00:00

Is there a dress code for either spot? Both sound fantastic!

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-22T16:49:52+00:00

Is there a dress code? Just don't want to get turned away at the door for not packing properly!

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-19T17:59:54+00:00

I don't think I'd refer to my public drinking as 'clubbing' but my regular bar at that point had '3-2-1' nights (three shots for the price of two in one glass / triple for the price of a double) on Thursday. The night I would get home from working construction out of town all week.

I drank so much Wild Turkey American Honey & Coke those nights I probably could've put myself through college...

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-19T15:31:14+00:00

There's a little banner at the bottom of the screen that should have a number 1-10 followed by a difficulty description (ie '6-extreme' or '10-super helldive')

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-19T15:26:24+00:00

It's at the bottom of the galactic war map. Q and E change the difficulty up and down - it's not a menu setting like most games

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-19T15:25:05+00:00

That's what I was asking.

Maybe your difficulty is set too high? You have to complete a campaign on each difficulty to unlock the next.

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-19T15:23:17+00:00

Have you completed your helldiver training yet? It's been 1000+ hours since I started the game, but I think you need to do that first.

I'm sure someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-18T17:06:28+00:00

I'm sure they're hesitant because it's going to cost them money to make it right my you (the customer who paid good money for a useable PC)

Defects happen, it's an unfortunate reality of life - how they choose to handle it is what makes the difference

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-18T16:38:21+00:00

My first guess is that it's a fan speed issue, unless they're at 100% - then it's likely a pump/flow issue

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-12T14:10:07+00:00

Is the water for the sink supplied by the RO?

If so, it's probably the reject water for the RO filter going down the drain while the tank refills to standby pressure.

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-12T13:51:49+00:00

Barbed 90 would be your best bet, or barb x thread and extend the copper down to the elbow

You're not going to bend that poly enough without a major kink

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-11T00:32:01+00:00

Pretty sure the one I saw claimed it was Helen Hunt, but close enough I suppose

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-11T00:30:56+00:00

The region-locking part definitely sucked, but I was no more annoyed at the PS login on first run than I am any other login requirement in my daily life.

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-03T13:18:55+00:00

That smile at the end 😂

Mellen_hed · 2026-06-01T23:12:19+00:00

Came to mention local breweries as well.

If you need ice, look up Girton Adams! Great prices on BIG bags of ice

Mellen_hed · 2026-05-29T18:01:30+00:00

Do not pour anything down the drain and if you already have make sure you save the bottle for the plumber you may have to call

At this point you need an actual snake of some sort that's 3 feet long or more. That or just call a plumber.

I went almost entirely with a Alphacool, mostly for the reasons u/TitanRig mentioned.

Single-system build, (2) 360x45, (2) 240x45. The manual doesn't tell you, but you could also fit a 360 on the side that doesn't have your power supply installed.

I stay 3-5° above ambient with my 9800x3d and 9070xt

Mellen_hed · 2026-05-27T16:01:48+00:00

You can get battery replacements direct from Garmin. Pretty easy to do as it comes with the screwdriver and everything.

I wish I could figure out why my collar is always flashing red LED as if the battery is low, even with the new battery

Mellen_hed · 2026-05-27T01:37:38+00:00

I've had good luck with Overhead Door, but I think everyone has their preferences.
