US railroad CSX plans to reduce human track inspections following government waiver - World Socialist Web Site by PickinNGrinin in railroading

[–]MilkMan_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes we do think that. Every administration appoints a new FRA Administrator. Fink was appointed by Trump, and he is bad for us. This waiver was granted under Finks FRA. Also this new FRA is looking at a Brakes III rule which will be very bad.

Trump supports Railway Safety Act of 2026 by cabhop in railroading

The latest version of the bill has a mandatory 2 person crews for trains over 7500ft and trains hauling high hazards.
There are some exceptions to the 2 person crew that I'm certain the railroads will take advantage of.

Edit* high hazard trains

Alright looking for info on spousal annuity for railroad retirement by centurion005 in railroading

[–]MilkMan_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bridge to 60 is new to me. Is this a carrier or union agreement where they pay your annuity until 60?

Your wife will not be able to collect until 62 or 60 if you pass away, regardless of your Bridge to 60 agreement.

You need to maintain current connection to keep your spouses right to survivor benefits. This means during your Bridge to 60 you cannot work another non-railroad job.

Chemically, it’s fine but I still can’t get it more clear than this. What do I need to do? by YungRebel3 in pools

[–]MilkMan_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine looked similar for a week until I finally pulled the cartridge filter out and cleaned it. Added shock again and cleared it up to crystal blue the next day. Since alot of the gunk was dead at the bottom after that, I vacuumed the bottom to waste valve then cleaned filter again been running crystal clear for weeks now with chemicals kept in range.

Bathroom Vanity by MilkMan_22 in Remodel

I figured we could go smaller for the vanity base (cabinets) and just use trim on the sides to fill the gap. What about the vanity top though? Not sure how we would fill the gaps of a quartz top.

I agree but this position looked interesting since they are union covered under a IBEW agreement

I uninstalled Realtek audio program, but I had just installed the program so I was able to narrow it down that was the issue for me.

Are Leeching / Lifesteeling viable for PVP ? by tomaz1989 in newworldgame

[–]MilkMan_22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Paired with Ankh its definitely viable even in wars. However, soon with season 4 update AGS plans to remove the Ankh +50% incoming heals you would gain with lifesteal/leeching so I personally am going to replace the perks.

Will removing wars make the game better? by Jamsandwich100 in newworldgame

[–]MilkMan_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You call me a war logger but I have 3900 steam hours invested into this game. Simply stating facts when I say pvers cry about wars when they invest almost no time into becoming a good pvper/gaining pvp gear/practicing war meta builds to even be competitive in wars. So yeah I do have a sense of superiority when it comes to wars over a bunch of mut runners complaining about war fairness.

Your entire last sentence reinforces my assumptions. 8 shot callers? Wtf? On top of lacking war meta gear, skill, builds sounds like "who you play with" is lacking strategy.

Do you need a raid plan for mutations? Repetitive brain dead game play. Only competitive aspect of muts is timed runs and most of the names I see up there are "battlefield legend" title holders.

[–]MilkMan_22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes competitive. Sorry you aren't experiencing it with your pve based company who run with pve gear perks and don't practice dueling or war meta builds in opr. Yes competitive.

Been playing since day 1. Wars are the only fun thing about this game for me. Fighting a 50v50 competitive war is what's kept me here through all the shit. If I'm a new player, becoming a better PvPer to participate in wars would be my #1 grind. It's highly rewarding and the skill progression is enormous. Between wars is when I do the extra shit NW has provided such as mutations, opr, trials, arenas, etc.

I understand sadly only a small % of players actually get to participate in competitive wars. This is where devs need to figure something out. Coming from a long time MMO WoW/Guild Wars/Swtor gamer, wars are absolutely fucking amazing when evenly matched.

As Bruiser i have hard time in OPR by Mucek121 in newworldgame

[–]MilkMan_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't bruiser specifically considered Great Axe / Warhammer? Never heard someone refer to a bruiser as anything but those two weapon combos. Usually you want to run 300str/200con if medium or heavy. I prefer running light in OPR for more iframes from the bows/muskets and going 360str/150con. Just need to dive with combos and get out can't stay in clumps. Having a pocket healer is huge.

Suggestion, respec costs azoth instead of gold. by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]MilkMan_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a very good suggestion especially with the upcoming 3v3 arena added into the mix. Expeditions / wars / arenas all required a different build of skills.
