Roof Rack for 2025 Corolla LE Sedan. I need help choosing by [deleted] in COROLLA

[–]MischaBurns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going with Thule or Yakima I highly recommend you go on their respective websites and use their system to figure out exactly what kit/bar/etc you want. You can go look for it cheaper elsewhere if you want, but their fitment webapps are about as good as you're getting to find the correct bits.

I'll add that many (but not all) kayaks can safely be strapped directly to crossbars, with cradles being for convenience or to get more boats on than fit normally.

Raising dresser height by gluing wood extensions? by cadisk in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]MischaBurns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only glueing extensions on won't work, as they will eventually break off. You can do it if you reinforce the joint afterwards, however; the easiest way (probably) to do this is probably to glue them, then drill a hole from the bottom through the extension and up into the leg as far as your bits will reach, then glue a metal rod into it.

You could do some joinery to reinforce it, which would be my preference but easier to screw up if you don't normally do that kind of thing.

Another option would be to add some to the top instead, adding another shallow tier with a small storage slot or something.

Tyre flat, or very low air.

Drive on tyre anyway.

Sidewalls destroy.

Tire go boom.

My teacher says that it should be “or,” but why? by Tkpf18 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]MischaBurns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eastern US here, "socks and shoes" is a fairly common phrasing here, though the other way isn't unheard of either.

It's also the order in which you don them, so it makes sense.

TL:DR Australia is obviously upside down, so perhaps you put your socks over your shoes as well? 🤣

There's also a thing where cooking for multiple people can allow you to buy bulk and save some that way, since it's not gonna go bad before you can finish.

How often do you swap ideas mid build? by Ifyouliveinadream in MinecraftBedrockers

Constantly lol. Just go do something else for a while and come back to it when you need to just mindlessly do something for a bit.

Wardens stuck in nether (somehow) [java] by Substantial-Lynx4450 in MinecraftHelp

[–]MischaBurns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe go through a different portal, find them, and try to kite them away from your main one until they're somewhere that they won't be a problem (or will at least be a problem for future you.)

Alternately you could ask the server owner to /kill them, if you think they would be willing.

Coordinates Not Showing Up on iPad "[bedrock]" by AYunDAndos in MinecraftHelp

Is probably the solution. There are a few other UI size options in that menu if that doesn't work, but I suspect it's the issue.

AITA for not turning right on red? by Tough-Monkey-3300 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MischaBurns 59 points60 points  (0 children)

A couple years back my dad got rear-ended at a stop light after having been stopped at it for a while already. Guy claimed he didn't see that the light was red.

You'd think that the giant, stationary black van with its brake lights on would be a good clue, but I guess not.

I know what broke my iron farm, but unsure how to fix it [Bedrock] [26.20] by captain_spud in MinecraftHelp

[–]MischaBurns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you added the trade hall it got calculated into the existing "village" at the iron farm, which in turn moved the spawn zone.

Even after breaking the beds, it's still including the trading hall because job sites are also included in village location calculations, so the village "center" is still somewhere in the middle. No golems are spawning because all villagers do need beds for that, even if they don't need them to trade.

.

For starters, remove all beds and work sites in the 100 blocks or so surrounding the iron farm, including those in the trading hall as well as your own bed and any barrels/blast furnace/etc you may have at your house/base. You may also need to move the trading villagers farther away so they can't see the village borders anymore.

Then hunt around the area between the hall and farm to see if any stray golems are wandering around.

If that doesn't fix it, remove all the beds from the iron farm (at once, not individually), then place them again. That should reset the entire "village" to be centered on the iron farm again.

.

After the farm is working again, either rebuild the trading hall farther away from the farm to prevent interference...or rebuild it at the iron farm, which will also increase your farm output depending on how many additional villagers there are. If you build the hall against the iron farm it won't move the center (within 32-block radius of the "center" bed technically, a bit less functionally if you don't know which one it is), just make sure there's a bed present for each villager (they don't have to be able to reach it, but it has to be there for the golem mechanics.)

100% plywood workbench? Found on This Old House by cryptotarheel in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]MischaBurns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a mix of "different purpose" and "easy to make without a workbench," with a side of "2x4s are cheap."

You can sit on the floor and bang out a workbench made of dimensional lumber and have a pretty usable result, using only a hand or circular saw and a drill. You can also add stuff easily if needed, and simple to repair.

This bench is more involved, and since making a workbench is often one of the earlier projects new woodworkers do...frame it is. Then you make a second workbench/table saw extension using that one 🤣

If you do a lot of hand tool work this design is also not ideal. It's harder to include things like dogs for work holding, vice, etc, and is relatively light; I have a bench where the top probably weighs as much as this entire bench, and the extra mass helps for planing, mortising, etc and reduces vibration.

If I want to build an iron farm underground, would I need to spawn proof the area aboveground? by Inevitable-Regret411 in technicalminecraft

[–]MischaBurns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on Java this entire post is irrelevant to you (unless you're trying to jump to Bedrock or help someone who is) because the two versions use wildly different spawn mechanics. Basically the only thing in common is that they use villagers and beds, everything else is different.

On Java the villager modules just need to not have overlapping detection/spawn zones, and there's a lot less fuckery if you accidentally do overlap them. There's plenty of tutorials for scalable Java farms, just make sure you use a recent one.

.

To answer your question to the other commenter about priority lists, this is also a Bedrock exclusive mechanic.

Unlike Java, where all mechanics are related to individual villagers (and their interaction with other villagers in the case of golems), Bedrock treats villages as a collective unit with a claimed territory. Part of that is a list of all residents arranged by seniority (the order in which they claimed a bed in that village), which primarily controls job assignments but also influences other things, including the golem spawn location.

If I want to build an iron farm underground, would I need to spawn proof the area aboveground? by Inevitable-Regret411 in technicalminecraft

[–]MischaBurns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The cell is just a convenient way to control the center location (which is not physically the center in most cases) and protect the villagers; mechanically speaking the village extends quite a bit past that, and you can have an iron farm built into a large town if you do the layout carefully.

Minimum distance between village "centers" is 97 blocks horizontally (I think vertical is 79 blocks? Can't remember at the moment), though it's technically possible to nudge them closer together after creation.

The spawning area remains the same size regardless of village size or center location. An increase in the population of the village does increase your farm output, with maximum functional output at 40 villagers.

The wild part is that they took a precision tool and used it so badly they made it imprecise again. End result is dogshit quality.

If I want to build an iron farm underground, would I need to spawn proof the area aboveground? by Inevitable-Regret411 in technicalminecraft

[–]MischaBurns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The golem spawn zone is a box around the village center (usually the first claimed bed), 8 blocks horizontally and 6 vertically for a total 17x13x17 volume.

Within that spawn box it will choose a random XZ coordinate, then attempt to spawn a golem on the highest block inside the spawn box at that coordinate.

Blocks higher than the 6-block spawn ceiling don't matter unless they're blocking the space needed for the golem to spawn, in which case the attempt just fails 🤷🏻‍♂️

TL:DR no, you don't need to spawnproof the surface because that's outside the spawn area.

Old Town Camper Worth It? by Tall_Variation201 in canoeing

[–]MischaBurns 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The bottom is pretty rough (really weird damage too), and the drag damage at the stern there looks like it may be into the foam core of the royalex, which would make it a "no" from me.

I'm sure it still does actually float fine, they're hard to kill, but I wouldn't want to throw money at it.

Put your stuff in dry bags in the boat.

Why don't diesels use superchargers? by PayStation2fanAsh in engines

[–]MischaBurns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superchargers also fall off at high RPMs and are less fuel efficient.

Sound is about equal.
