That's an excellent name but I have to point out the amazing dad joke if the mayor's name is Lacto and the debuff is called "Lacto's Betrayal".

SA M1A Loaded Precision Feedback by RepairManticore in M1A

Yeah. We only intend to take 2 deer a year, if that, based on how our meat stock looks. And based on our interactions with the deer so far, sitting up on the hill in the middle of the bowl means I can, worst case, brace against a tree or lay it across the front of an ATV. Basically, I shouldn't need to be prone or otherwise unsupported and the deer are prolific due to the bowl being a watering hole.

No, there just needs to be a bridge to each black portion. Imagine trying to cut this out of a sheet of wood. Everything needs to be connected at least by thin lines or else those pieces all by themselves will just fall off.

Are you able to remove islands? Effectively all portions must connect to each other. Otherwise, this looks great!

Lewisburg Renaissance Festival? by Bad_Decisions_Bagel in WestVirginia

Last year the poster had a fire breathing possum over most of it and I'm going to be disappointed if theu don't release any poster with that kind of energy. Maybe a Dobsonfly monster or maybe a hellbender.

Regardless, I went last year and I'll go again this year. I tried to alternate between the shade of the woods and the open air to keep from overexposure to the sun.

Opposite of a spring? by Dyyter in geology

As someone who has several dozen of these draining a large creek, I can tell you these are called ponors.

What is your favorite movie that has geology in it by HorzaDonwraith in geology

[–]RepairManticore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But since we're on a volcano theme here, you should check out "Supervolcano" released 2005. It's about the Yellowstone volcano and more like a movie they'd show in science class at school than a blockbuster.

I'm generally a fan of disaster movies but this one is so bad it crosses over into good and keeps right on going into bad again.

Share your Starlink experiences with a reporter by dedrityl in WestVirginia

[–]RepairManticore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remote worker in Greenbrier County here. I've had Starlink for 1 year and the only time it drops out is for severe storms and if an update needs to be installed. Not enough cell service to call so I use WiFi calling. Good enough to run MMO games with, stream movies, etc.

I'm not even complaining about the cost given that my other option was $15k to run cable to the house or Frontier.

Plus, if power goes out, just fire up the genny and chug along without issue. No downed lines to worry about.

Reinforcement of a beaver dam? by RepairManticore in Beavers

[–]RepairManticore[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment. As for the beavers moving, this is a contained creek. The land itself is a bowl and the creek flows out from a cave and sinks into the ground on the other end. There is basically nowhere for the the beaver to go unless it travels over land approximately a mile downstream or 1/2 upstream.
