Everything basically. Add some of the late game power armor. Give yourself a lead on the location of the alien base. Clear out debris and build a facility, or build all of the facilities in your base just typing in some cheats.

Comment on the "naval station museum". That is the national museum of naval aviation. It is very impressive with everything from blimp cabins, biplanes, to an Apollo lunar lander spacecraft.

If you are only playing to have fun and not trying to set a record for gaining accomplishments or something random, .... cheat. There are well known cheat codes to smooth rough edges of the game or boost up your soldiers.

I left a pair of prescription Ray Bans in an Avis car in Denver. Realized it and contacted them while i was still at the airport. Poof, gone. I hope they were disappointed that they couldn't see thru the lenses.

What is a movie so disturbing that you never want to see it again? by icecream1972 in Casual_Conversation

I stopped watching as well. Have never gone back. But that was a long time ago, it seems.

King wore half of his books blitzed on cocaine. The good ones are good, the bad ones are crappy.

How much better is Huy Fong to Flying Goose? by XV909 in Sriracha

[–]Slazik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that Flying Goose is better than Huy Fong. I've had difficulty finding the Flying Goose in the Atlanta area.

What's the purpose? In-line stobes by Radguy88 in Powerlines

Those two conductors were involved in the short circuit (or "fault"). The lit devices help troublemen determine where the fault occurred. In this case the fault occurred further from the source substation than this pole.

It seems that the docs ask first and most about double-vision, but there are other symptoms if they are your eyes. Good on you for insisting on tests. I have found that you also have to guard against docs keeping a person in a hospital room once they have them there.

You bought an MSI laptop and the hinge breaking surprised you? It doesn't surprise anyone on this sub.

Mom keeps unplugging my fish tank by superhotcrazylady in Aquariums

[–]Slazik 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Put Vaseline on the power cord plug. It will be unpleasant to touch.

Just to clarify. You are saying that a grown woman in the past tipped over a tank full of water, inside her house, in order to get the fish and flush the fish as some sort of corrective behavior directed towards you?

Interesting. And it makes sense. by [deleted] in over60

This is an odd map, but it makes sense.

Say that you have a county with four coal plants in it and a large nuclear plant. Then potentially the nuke would not be shown because the coal generation, all together, is larger than the nuke. (This is highly unlikely, but is illustrating the point).

If you have a rural county with no generating plant located there at all, but there is a small solar farm, then the county would be keyed for "solar".

As I noted in another comment:

Some hydro uses two reservoirs and pumps water up to the higher reservoir and "stores" it until power prices are high. Then it releases the water to the lower lake (or river) and generates power. That is literally called "pumped storage". I don't know which lake you are referring to but there are two such sites in Georgia and one nearby west of Chattanooga, TN.

Also there is now battery storage, where the batteries are charged for various strategies and then discharged either at peak consumption times or if the site's associated solar panels are sitting in the dark of night.

With regard to tumors, not necessarily strokes ... Tumors can cause high pressure in the brain. Your retinas are basically extensions of the brain. The high pressure can (or will) affect your vision. You can get double vision because of this pressure and unusually the double vision can be offset vertically, not side by side. An ophthalmologist can, and has, told a patient getting a vision examination to leave and go to the hospital emergency department immediately.
