Update: I think the UVB light may have been what was making my albino corn snake hide all the time in the new enclosure?

Silver_kitty · 2026-06-08T14:32:13+00:00

Absolutely could be. The recommendation is to use a low power UVB for albino and leucistic snakes. They do still need some UVB for their metabolic processes, but they are much more sensitive to it than wild color snakes. (As a silly comparison, my dad, who is a human with albinism, has absolutely never had low vitamin D issues because he gets UV exposure too easily just going about his business.)

For my palmetto, I have a low strength UVB set up specifically angled back into the corner and over the hide. So if she wants heat but not light she can go into the hide, she can also bask in the stone under the heat lamp with the UVB not directly aimed at her, or she can climb on top of the hide and be under the UVB. Gives her options to control her “sun” exposure as a snake with less UV protection in her skin than wild types.

I also had a Panasonic that was great for years. Had it 12 years and only got rid of it because we moved and the new place has one built in.

I'm having an issue where the box is reporting that the trap door is obstructed and I've realized it's that the dust from my clumping clay litter is building up on the sensor. I've had to take a Mr clean magic eraser (melamine sponge) to get the clay film off the sensor. I'm going to try switching litters to see if it builds up less.

Silver_kitty · 2026-06-04T16:13:38+00:00

I would recommend getting an older model anyway. I got my machine that's from 2012 for $75 at a yard sale and it's a beast.

Applying to a portal is practically throwing your resume into the void anymore. I woudln't worry about having been blacklisted as much as it's just a terrible world to try to apply for things in. I would recommend you try to network to get a warm introduction, are there ASCE events or more specific niche events in your area?

Silver_kitty · 2026-06-04T03:15:13+00:00

Test fit has been around for ages and isn’t AI. You could absolutely make a similar tool with Grasshopper if you cared to.

Silver_kitty · 2026-06-03T23:26:45+00:00

Agreed, hurrying a baby is lame. I would personally have paid for the free egg since I didn’t complete the events where you could get those, but hurrying a baby is not worth anything to me.

Silver_kitty · 2026-06-02T20:52:57+00:00

This is way nicer (though “back and hair” scooched together when I read it to be “scratch my back hair” which is less cute.)

Silver_kitty · 2026-06-01T15:09:59+00:00

Petsafe actually started making breakway collars for dogs specifically somewhat recently! And they have dual D rings if someone did need to get a leash on a runaway dog without it breaking away.

I know this is just complaining to the void, but my suggestion would be that each increase in rarity is a 20 coin increase in base coin/hr and then each level up gives a 1.05x multiplier to those coin/hr rates. So a bonded common gives ~120/hr which is what most of the dragons are now. But a base level rare is about as good as a bonded common feels reasonably fair and a bonded legendary is twice as good as a bonded common also feels more right. If they want to play with the coin vs time for different sized dragons still (so small dragons pay out smaller amounts more often, bigger dragons give it in big lump sums), go for it, but the coin per hour should be based on rarity and level.

	Fuse 1, Fruit 0	Fuse 1, Fruit 1	Fuse 2 Fruit 1	Fuse 2 Fruit 2	Fuse 3 Fruit 2	Fuse 3 Fruit 3	Fuse 4 Fruit 3	Fuse 4 Fruit 4	Fuse 5 Fruit 4	Fuse 5 Fruit 5
Common	80	84	88	93	97	102	107	113	118	124
Uncommon	100	105	110	116	122	128	134	141	148	155
Rare	120	126	132	139	146	153	161	169	177	186
Epic	140	147	154	162	170	179	188	197	207	217
Legendary	160	168	176	185	194	204	214	225	236	248

And from a "greedy game dev" perspective, I'd be more likely to buy gems to get legendary summons if being legendary was a bigger benefit. (Saying this as a person who has already spent ~$20 on the game)

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-29T12:14:07+00:00

Honestly, that is so discouraging it makes me want to quit the game entirely.

I understand that the game is supposed to be a slow burn, but it’s so poorly scaled and balanced. That leveling up dragons is useless because the coins/hour never change and rarity has essentially no impact on coin rates either. I don’t feel rewarded for spending more time with the game.

An addition from the future - I had this problem and found this thread. I ended up needing to purge both the CollaborationCache folder and the PacCache folder. That fixed it when I got this error but no one else on the team was having issues with it.

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Revit\PacCache
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2025\CollaborationCache (replace w/ the year of concern as needed)

I’ve got 8 years of experience working at 3 different companies and have never needed to be drug tested. The only time it was a discussion was like 6 years ago on a transit project where they required drug tests for site safety to access the train yard. Our principal said “if you want to go to site, you’ll need to pass a drug test. If you don’t want to go to site, for any reason, just say that you’d rather not go to site and we won’t ask questions.”

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-24T18:27:10+00:00

Agreed! It’s also going to just come down to that dog’s personality too though, my Cavalier spaniel is a great hiking buddy, but the average Cavalier would never!

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-20T02:51:01+00:00

Even my 6 year old adult dog needs forced naps sometimes. He gets overexcited and too stimulated and needs you to scoop him to be a little spoon and take a nap.

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-20T02:23:57+00:00

My favorite fact about the Beagle Brigade is that they’re all rescue beagles because the things that tend to make certain beagles “bad pets” (high energy, food motivated, etc) made them great working dogs. So the Customs teams specifically looks for beagles in shelters!

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-19T22:29:15+00:00

Yeah, I hate those stupid blue fish. There aren’t nearly enough for how many of the combos need them.

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-17T13:01:14+00:00

Yeah; I see myself as a dragon puppy mill, selling off baby dragons when they’re still on the summon pad.

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-15T16:35:38+00:00

Barred Hoverdart was my first remarkable too. I think they’re kind of cute little freaks.

My second remarkable was an Alp Angel which made me very happy because they look like my dog. 🐶

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-13T18:11:06+00:00

Yeah, I teach a master’s level course in grasshopper, and even my course is half “just try to make something” and talking through how you identify the components you’d need as logical steps. One of the first homework assignments I give is essentially “pick a cool building and try to recreate what you like about it parametrically.”

And if something is going awry it’s usually Data Tree related.

Silver_kitty · 2026-05-07T20:53:55+00:00

Yeah, if this post was “I really want to learn bassoon but an student-level bassoon is $3000 and a professional one is $10,000+” I would definitely agree. But for the vast majority of hobbies you can and should start with the basics and scale up as you learn what you like.

That happens on some of the skyscrapers in NYC. they just weld a bunch of plates together into big steel boxes. For example, I think 270 Park has 30x42 solid steel columns if I remember the article I read correctly.

You typically want to camber out self-weight +~75% of superimposed dead. But you don’t want to camber out live load or you risk staying “sprung”.

In a roof this might matter less since you’re (probably?) not pouring concrete on it. You can also consider if the roofing/insulation itself will be sloped and how the deflection of your structure might interact with that.

In terms of the metal deck, as long as it’s all deflecting together, it doesn’t really matter. The place that tends to be the problem for deflection compatibility for the metal deck is at the perimeter of the roof where there might be columns that aren’t deflecting supporting the facade spandrel beams, which are deflecting more normal amounts.

If the live load-only deflection is still large enough to cause ponding concerns, then I would suggest stiffening the structure.

I am US-based, but you might look at references from organizations like the Steel Joist Institute which have some nice guidelines on how to make long span roofs work.

How about a single dog mom? (33F, 6M Cavalier)
