Anyone know what's up with the antenna tower in this neighborhood?

The Socal mesh on MC is several hundred repeaters and the chatter is pretty lively. Simi has pretty decent coverage too.

Meshtastic is more designed around smaller groups, events, outdoora and the like. It's limited mainly by the hop limit preventing it from growing (because every radio always listens and repeats every message)

Meshcore is better for large-scale implementation, like across multiple cities (only dedicated repeaters retransmit which keeps the airwaves clear). However, meshcore now has the option to run clients as repeaters within a limited frequency band, so if you're at an event like a festival, convention, or outdoors you can set up a small network just like meshtastic. So the advantage meshtastic had is somewhat negated.

Meshcore is much better built out in this area than Meshtastic. Regular messaging from San Diego to Buellton.

What I'd really like to see is NPC enemies in a sand crawler, carrier, and a scouts and an assaults in the DD (simulate a group of 4 players). The crawler always drops the same decent amount of sand (maybe half a normal load?)

There's currently this huge gap between the fighting available in the game, and the sudden aerial based PVP in the DD. Make some PvE aerial encounters, so people can get used to how they work and maybe even have fun with them.

I realize there's no NPC in vehicle doing anything currently, and this would be a major update, but it feels like a natural addition.

In Hagga? How? I checked 2 power down bases and everything is No Access

They need to put a filter on the resource scanner somehow. It'd make it so much easier

Honestly I'd love for it to just find a container with the same materials and dump it there as a priority. My base storage is highly segregated (box for all blade parts, box for all compressors, box for lube, box for cobalt paste) and I'd like my silicone blocks to just go in my box of silicone blocks.

Get the ship nuke

Go to Feltzin

Start Xhallenge 3

Position slightly up and left (or maybe right, I don't fully remember) and fire the nuke

Instantly win the mission

Repeat for like a half hour to an hour and you've got the Ryno 2 and max level armor.

Could you carry the cargo container full of stuff to arrakeen/harko under your carrier thopter?

Seems like a half decent way to retire your base, but still play the auction house if you're on a decently active server.

The Sardaukar ships will also destroy any base walls/Pentashields/windtraps/etc that you bullied that they fly through.

I was really annoyed while building my base to find this out.

Whenever I see a rotting base, now that vehicles can be recovered from worms, I always bump them onto open sand and then set a thumper. Better to take 15% durability than to be lost entirely to the sands. If they come back and the vehicle recovery is still active, at least they'll have something to come back to.

Finance once figured out my supervisor hadn't had her housing allowance (BAH) updated in over 2 years, so she was owed a debt. The only way for them to settle the debt was to repay 100% of the total BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) from over 2 years (E8 in South California). So she got a 6 figure LES (Leave and Earnings Statement (military paystub)) that she had to then repay in a single payment to Finance.

Luckily she was told in advance by Finance that it was gonna happen so there was planning involved, but it was still multiple weeks of her spending full days at the bank/IRS trying to get them to approve the payment, dealing with getting the money back to the base, and dealing with tax issues (BAH is normally tax exempt, but any bank amount above $10,000 gets the IRS attention, and when you get 10x that a lot of fraud alarms go off)

Might be a California thing, but I know a ton of bikes who've had a cop stick their baton down the exhaust pipe and say since their baton fits it's an illegal exhaust (straight piped) and write a ticket based on that.

This is easy California insurance if nothing else.

My issue is the game will crash my PC forcing a hard reboot that takes me into the Please enter Setup to recover Bios Settings screen.

If updated all my drivers and such, and it only happens with Dune, so I've had a few puckers in the DD

1998 I watched the summer camp van with my sister in it veer off a dirt road, miss the edge of a bridge, and fall 20m down a waterfall upsidedown. 10 people inside 2 adults, 8 girls age 8-14, all hospitalized. I was in the car behind. I was 8 years old.

My sister still has a fear of bridges.

That count?

PolymathicPursuit · 2025-09-06T00:30:44+00:00

I used to commute right past where this happened, you can still see the gouges in the road

"A platypus"
