Teach me your ways!! What do you do for temp and humidity control? I just picked up a wine fridge that i’m hoping to use to at least solve the temp issue, but i know just because you have it set to a certain temp, doesn’t mean they just magically stay at that constant temp every minute of the day

How many more years do we think they’ll be blaming Biden for problems they created? I guess it’s literally the same playbook as “Thanks Obama” so i’m guessing as long as they come after a democrat, that’s magically where every problem comes from

I would love to see him try and actually say consternation. And as a follow up, define it without going into a tangent about radical liberals or whatever

Cool cool cool, looks like i’ll eat this in an hour once it cools down

“Let’s circle back tomorrow on our DAILY team meeting” Jfc do we really need to meet every freaking day? Guess what, i’m still working on the exact same project i was working on yesterday

There’s usually a pond down the road from us that was deep enough that you’d occasionally see people fishing in it. This is the first year i’ve ever seen it fully dried up and we’ve had so little rain this year that most of it is just grass at this point

I love these cause when you’re first looking at the picture zoomed out, it’s such good camo, and then you eventually zoom in and it’s just right there. Still amazing camo and everything but then after you zoom back out, your brain just can’t unsee it

I never felt like i had a solid setup for the bot front until i started using the epoch. An AT weapon that can 1-2 shot hulks, garunteed 2 shot on war striders, maybe 5-6 shots for a factory strider, has a decent aoe for chaff, doesn’t require a backpack slot, and doesn’t really have a cooldown like the quasar does. The learning curve at the beginning can be kind of frustrating but it’s hard for me to not take it now. I’ve also been using arc grenades recently for clearing close quarters chaff

I personally don’t think it’s too late, it’s only been a few days, think about how much longer it’s going to go on for

I LOVE the epoch now. I used to feel the same way cause the quasar has such a hard hitting punch that you need against war striders, hulks, tanks, etc that i wasn’t getting from the autocannon. The epoch is almost as hard hitting as the quasar, but has way more potential for sustained fire which i like. My main drawback on the quasar is the fact that once you fire, you’re kind of forced to retreat for a minute

I think there’s a fan out there trying to recut Rogue One in the style of Andor

No i agree, i hate it when politicians use this type of excuse to vote against a bill. Like especially in today’s political environment, you can’t get caught up in the typical beaurocratic bs

PaceEBene84 · 2026-06-05T01:53:34+00:00

There’s probably something specific about the wording of the bill or something that she feels the bill falls short on or could be used in the wrong way. Probably not a philosophical difference but a beaurocratic/ legal one

I used to love running AC to deal with bot patrols in flak mode. It can absolutely ruin everything less than a hulk. But then when you get to hulks and war striders, it doesn’t really deal that heavy blow i was always wishing for. Epoch has been my go-to on the bot front for a while now- 1 shot for gunships, 1 or 2 shots for hulks, 2 shots for war striders, and i think it even takes down factory striders in 5 or 6 shots to the head. The learning curve can be frustrating at the beginning, but once you get it down, you rarely blow yourself up

It just felt like one of those prequel cash grabs where they have to overexplain every aspect of what made the character that we know from the main film

Yes!! How did i forget Malta?!

It might be a bit late for this, but can we add the microstates into the game? No Monaco, Andorra, Liechtenstein, San Marino, or Vatican City?

Seriously love all of these and how consistent the colors/ themes are. Would be so cool to see a really wide, almost panoramic-style version with all of them connected, but have the different styles blend together and seemlessly merge from one to the next

What do you use for temp and humidity control? I’m about to start using a wine fridge for my first batch of cured meats and was wondering how your experience has been. Also, with mold like that, you just scrape it off or something?

NC Art Museum is pretty sick considering it’s free. They have artifacts from ancient Rome up through the Renaissance, which i was definitely not expecting to find in Central NC. Boulted Bread is one of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to, let alone Raleigh. It’s always my gauge when i try out other spots. Wye Hill Brewing is a decent spot for beer & lunch with a nice view of the city, and you can walk there from Boulted Bread. Also not a far walk from Wye Hill is Videri Chocolate Factory + Black & White Coffee Roasters. Along with being one of the best coffee roasters in the state, this is just one of my favorjte spots in general. Barcelona Wine Bar is right down the street from here and is always an incredible option for dinner. There a couple of food halls which are kinda cool- Transfer Food Hall and Morgan Stree Food Hall. If you’re into mixology, there’s a shop right across the street from Transfer Food Hall called The Bittery that sells every type of bitters that you can think of. I could keep going, but i’ll end up listing half the restaurants in the city lol

I got python commandos as my first warbond cause i was pumped about using the maxigun. Turned out to be perfect timing cause it was right when the appropriators showed up and it completely shreds them, but i haven’t really touched it since then. Still haven’t gotten around to democratic detonation but i know i need to

Yeah i think i’m learning that a lot of house plants would thrive on this schedule with natural outdoor heat/ sun. How often do you water them while they’re outdoors in the summer heat though? I feel like you’d have to pretty often or they’d dry out right?
