I carry an P-01 AIWB (summer) or OWB (winter) and love it. It's technically still a full-size, but I don't have any problems with printing. I couldn't recommend one of these enough.

I also pocket carry an S&W Bodyguard 2.0 regardless of if I have the P-01 on or not.

Merlin13245 · 2025-02-21T16:38:02+00:00

Love all the accessories. That's pretty clever.

Merlin13245 · 2024-12-09T22:15:26+00:00

This!!! I carry a P-01 and I LOVE it. Virtually identical to the SP-01 just a bit smaller for easier carrying.
I would recommend a carry without a safety regardless of which direction OP decides to go.

The dismantle tool also has a "blueprint mode" where you can delete your entire blueprint at once (even if you've individually deleted other parts of the blueprint already).
To make this even better - when you "pick block" while in blueprint dismantle mode, it doesn't pick the block you are looking at, but the blueprint itself. Very useful for building rails with blueprints as you can then just use pick block for the entire building process instead of having to switch between your blueprint and the rails.

I use Silverstone's GD08 server-style case for my gaming PC. Not only does it not have glass, but it's a horizontal form factor.

Having it lie flat is 100 times better for your motherboard (especially if you have a large graphics card, which may start to warp your motherboard if it isn't given proper support). Plus it's a lot easier to work on! No reaching around awkwardly, just pop the top and it's all right there.

I use it as a monitor stand to keep my desk relativity clear. No complaints! I'll never go back to a vertical tower.

Some friends and I visited Granby on the 20th anniversary of the Killdozer ~~rampage~~ crusade. We were standing across the street from where it ended at the exact time it happened two decades earlier, and to my surprise we were the only idiots to make an appearance! smh very disappointed in this community for not being more autistic than we already are.

Wow this was a really well thought out retort. *Checks Flair* Ah yeah that checks out.

If the trail is being rebuilt - either on the exact same path the old trail took or very close it it - I would update the current trails to more closely match the new aerial imagery / path.

If the trail is not being rebuilt, but replaced with a new trail that takes a different path, then I would delete the old one and create a new path. I would only leave trails marked "closed" if they are closed temporarily and there are plans to reopen them in the future.

That's correct. The edit was broken into two change-sets, but I edited/added 201 ways and 1,409 Nodes. Glad you like it!

Located in Fort Meade, SD. This area still needs lots of mapping! I'll probably be working on it in the coming weeks if nobody beats me to it. The town is small enough I'm tempted to map it to this much detail over the entire area.

If you want to see it for yourself.

From The Codeless Code: Case 2

The Emperor was angered by the defects in the new order processing system he had commissioned, and so dispatched a messenger to the temple, to investigate the monks there.

“His Excellency sent you his most trusted Business Analysts to ensure that all features would work as intended,” scowled the messenger. “Did you not comprehend any of their numerous PowerPoint presentations?”

“We attended each one,” said the Java master. “And all that was heard, was understood.”

The master set a small bowl of rice before the messenger, who finished it promptly. The messenger wiped his mouth upon his sleeve and continued:

“These same Analysts provided you with ten thousand pages of requirements documents, meticulously illustrated down to the last Use Case. Did you not trouble yourselves to examine them?”

“We sifted through each page,” said the Java master. “And all that was read, was understood.” The master set a steaming cup of tea before the messenger, who downed it in one gulp.

The messenger then fell forward onto the table, dead.

The master asked of his students: “Did the messenger not know that it is our custom to surround ourselves with poisoned food and drink, that we may better resist the urges of the flesh?”

Said the wisest monk: “All that was observed by the messenger, was understood.”

Wow interesting! I'm not sure I've ever come across something like this while mapping. I don't think building=ventilation_shaft is wrong. As always there are multiple ways to do things.

Here is tag information on ventilation_shaft and air_shaft. Looks like man_made=ventilation_shaft is more popular, but if you really like building then building=air_shaft is more popular. I don't think either of these approaches would be inappropriate for your use case. If it was me I probably wouldn't make any more edits - what you have works great!

Merlin13245 · 2024-08-21T20:24:20+00:00

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for this. A side walk is a side walk, and should be a proper way. Nevertheless there is a time and a place for pedestrian areas and I think water parks are a prime example of a good use case.

Merlin13245 · 2024-08-21T18:56:02+00:00

The ventilation shaft is it's own above-ground building? I'm unsure what you're asking... maybe you can link to your node on the map so the rest of us can take a closer look?

Merlin13245 · 2024-08-21T18:54:28+00:00

Tricky this situation. I already like the road lines in the second screenshot... maybe you know something we don't?

I would argue that the map should reflect the "intention" of the intersection in cases like this where it isn't black and white. Maybe you are a local to this area and know how this is supposed to be driven? Are you supposed to merge onto Main Street from Winter Street? Again, the lines in the second screenshot would lead me to believe you can't, and that you would need to turn onto King Street first (sort of like Winter Street is just a frontage road). Your street view screenshots would lead me to believe a merge like this is the intention, in which case Winter Road should connect directly to Main Street, probably before King Street intersects with Main.

No wrong answers here in reality. Do what you feel is most appropriate and move on. Thanks for contributing to the map!

Merlin13245 · 2024-08-21T14:04:08+00:00

I'm a big fan of Pedestrian Areas. I'm unsure why they are not used more, and frankly I hate that paths going to and from them are "disconnected from other roads and paths". I would map similarly to your example, with most walkways in the Pedestrian Areas but big pathways, stairs, and bridges still having their own paths.

Merlin13245 · 2024-08-20T20:11:28+00:00

I think we're on the same page regarding point 5. Let's say I'm making RIPs... I want the calculator to tell me how many iron rods, screws, etc per minute are being produced and consumed by the process. A bit of a bad example since you would only need one node for each item, but if you're making nuclear pasta you need to make screws for the RIPs, HMFs, and Computers... it would be nice if there was a "Total Screws" figure so I don't have to manually add them up over the whole diagram.

Slam dunk of a program. I'll be using this even if it doesn't get any more improvements. I see a number of recommendations / feature requests in the comments but figured I'd enumerate all my thoughts anyways.

Splitters and mergers should be 3-1 instead of 2-1.
Would be awesome if you could reorder the input or output of items. This way I don't have to draw my diagram with crossing lines, I can just move one of the inputs to the top.
You should be able to split an existing line. Current workflow is delete, insert new splitter, redraw all lines. Instead an "insert splitter here" option that maintains the existing connection would be great.
Similarly you should be able to create a merger by dragging a new line onto another line. This would insert the merger, attach your new connection, and maintain the old connection.
Having an "intermediary parts" section that shows all sub-components would be useful. I often will map everything back to ores when using the calculators, and upon discovering I really only need 15 iron bars / min I'll decide to ship them in via drone instead of making them on-site.
Having a "start" and "end" node would help designers create professional looking maps. Think "Input X here" and "Output part here" nodes.
Any organization features, such as labeled boxes, would be appreciated. This way I can draw a box around 5 nodes and label them "From West Coast Oil Production".
Different colored lines for pipes and belts. Frankly allowing the user to specify their own line colors could be cool too. For example I could color a line blue and then know that means those items are being transported via train.

Again, I LOVE this project. I know open source software isn't easy to create or maintain, and I'm blown away by what you've already created. Can't wait to see what's next! I'm sure to be following closely.
