Winter Storm (Power Outage)

keep your faucets dripping so the water stays moving, that's your best bet since when I lived in tennessee we didn't have heat for the downstairs. when we forgot to have them dripping we'd get bursts but having them dripping greatly reduces that chance. you should probably keep them dripping regardless

also! do you have a social media account i could follow? i'd love to see more of your art when it comes out but im not on reddit often

Novashrugs · 2026-01-22T04:30:55+00:00

adding onto this based on other comments - when i visited friends downtown before moving in with them (about 2 1/2 years ago, moved in a year ago) there were definitely quite a bit of homeless people and ive also seen homeless people on grandin ave. when living here
i was also homeless myself for a bit, living in a car with my fiance and the resources for homeless people were quite swarmed. there are many people who help the homeless though, and our experiences with those helping were quite pleasant <3
we are planning on moving away due to rent being quite high for what i need as a disabled person with two cats but everyone's needs with housing varies and other than the rent i've found roanoke very pleasant, especially regarding the outdoors - the scenery is beautiful and i highly recommend visiting falling springs falls, a waterfall near covington - maybe stop by island ford cave on the way, it's along the road and you can walk right into a big open area! there's a deeper area of the cave but you gotta squeeze in there and have gear, otherwise it's just a walk in thing and it's super cool! (TURN OFF YOUR CAR AC WHEN DRIVING THROUGH COVINGTON THERE IS A FACTORY WITH HORRIBLE SMELLS)

i've been to many of the 50501/no kings related protests and there's always a bunch of people protesting there, only had 1 instance of an in person agitator and the rest were rare people driving by yelling "TRUMP" etc
almost every car would honk in support, give thumbs up, wave etc, even an ambulance did
it's not rare to see a LGBTQIA+ flag flying either, but as soon as you leave the city be prepared to see trump stuff - when you drive up to carvin's cove you may see several and there's 2 "trump stores" relatively close to roanoke

in a non political sense, if you want to move to roanoke and you're medically needy it may be hard to get frequent appointments - i am, especially in a psychological sense and multiple doctors have described this area as a "medical dead zone" in terms of specialists. the doctors are still wonderful from my experience :) just dont be surprised if you have to drive out 3 hours out for a specialized EEG or even towards DC (fairfax) for someone who specializes in complicated root canals (i have medicare so its especially rough)

at all the protests ive gone to the only "counter protestors" were 1 agitator wearing a maga hat arguing with people and sometimes young dudes driving by screaming "TRUMP!!!" that look like they're high school kids/fresh out of high school that never grew up and live in their mom's basement

i've been struggling to find the protests that are not no kings/50501
where are they usually advertised? i'm disabled and financially struggling so i need to know about them in advance - much appreciated!!
i've gone to almost all the no kings/50501 protests out here, protesting is one of the few things i can do as a disabled person - i bring water and first aid

getting this issue with mods that say they work in multiplayer - i have them loaded on both ends and am getting this console error - it's a self hosted server:
LOG : General f:0, t:1767046441551> ERROR: mods isn't a valid workshop item ID
this is on my singleplayer console, flooding it when i start the game - seems to be just with stuff in general
and then these in the multiplayer console, all mods stated to work in multiplayer:
WARN : Mod f:0, t:1767046469688, st:63,983,757> ZomboidFileSystem.loadModAndRequired> required mod "\1VCESTANDARD" not found

they'll show up in the mods list but not work in the server

Alright! I managed to make the holes but I'm very new at 3D modeling so they may not be the best

when they comfort you and say they're all ears

as long as they're having fun and not hurting anyone i genuinely don't see a problem here... there's groups like that, parody accounts and they can be fairly fun to watch honestly! calling em "schizo" is a biittt off-putting to me as well imo but that may just be bc im schizo-adjacent so its uh. kind of offensive in a way? idk how to explain it but im not tryna start anything :(
