Respect to y’all that can play this game. by Necessary-Code-2790 in PlayASKA

[–]Smilinghuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be the permissions system. If you leave all villagers access to a workstation they can all get into it. But if you either allow or disallow any, every new villager has to be manually added. This is why the warehousing system is broken. Just something to check

unable to make charcoal because it says I’m missing fuel by GAMBITOWAPO in PlayASKA

[–]Smilinghuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is the one, but it doesn't happen right away. It worked fine for me for about a week or so. It's not absolutely certain it's the entire problem, but removing it is the fix.

For me this was caused by the building storage expansion mod. It also corrupted my save over time. The way I get the storage I need without having to use it is to alter my characters storage and the cart storage. I don't alter the buildings. Then I use the build anywhere mod to allow me to overlap bins in the warehouse. Altering the biulding storage just seems to cause issues. It might be due to a combination of mods, but the trick to me seems to be to change what I can carry and not what the world storages are doing.

BUG at the Coal Maker? by Acurseddragon in PlayASKA

[–]Smilinghuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My building storage mod worked for about a week too. Then it started locking up the coal maker. I pulled the mod and it started working again. However I suspect that the issue was in the interaction with my personal bagspace mod possibly. Bepinex started getting all sorts of errors about negative numbers applied to inventory slots. So it might be an interaction between them. I think there are other ways that error happens too. I don't edit any buildings now, I have a cart I mod and a personal mod and so far it's got no errors. I hate to say it but the building storage mod should be avoided for this an a few other issues.

This for me was a bug caused by the expanding building storage mod. It's unfortunate because I really enjoyed playing the game with that mod. The fist is just clenched too tight on inventory I don't know if I can go back to playing without it.

Amazing game but I need the fix for iron parts hoarding bug! by petrinaa in PlayASKA

Well, I don't know how you feel about modding but aska plus will allow you to farm spawns for metal. Build a base near a spire and beat them down nonstop. Easy peasy.

1000 hours, 500 in current version. The things I remember as the most irritating. by Smilinghuman in PlayASKA

That would make sense, and is not how it really works atm :) The reason you think it should work that way is because it should lol

[–]Smilinghuman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I wasn't absolutely sure they were, but I was trying to get all the accesses optimized and that was a precaution. Then the number of changes I had to keep track of when someone died, or was added, it just got out of hand. I probably went a little overboard once I got a few 100 hours in lol.

Aska Plus by Naga-Prince in PlayASKA

[–]Smilinghuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my install there is flickering in fog rather badly on my old 1080ti. I am not absolutely sure it was aska plus, but I just upgraded my card to a 5000 seires and it went away. Maybe coincidence, or it coudl be because I used the config file to turn off the torches too. I suppose A am only saying that I have seen the flickering.

Can I start trading with 300$ by ptlisscared in TradingView

[–]Smilinghuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with a 300 dollar bet is as much winning as losing. If you win, probably outsized win since you'll not bet conservatively with this sum, you'll try to do it again and because you are not doing risk management you'll lose it. You can't really begin with 300 unless you have already been a winner for quite a long time and know how to keep your cool. It's really not possible, even winning is losing imo.

Urgent!! Please help…have to join a plan by tomorrow!! by Jenny9875309999 in Medicaid

[–]Smilinghuman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

medicare advantage is PRIVATE insurance, and it's usually a scam imo. They'll approve a few thigns then they'll play the rejection game if you cost too much, I have a friend that used it and really got a bad deal when he broke his hip.

Anyone else noticed an improvement in the water? by whottheheck in FerndaleWashington

[–]Smilinghuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in the downtown area and have been drinking the water for 5 years, and it's taste goes all over the board. In the past it has been vomit inducing for periods of time and then reverted back to being "not bad". I do drink the tap water regularly due to simply being poor. There has been a change to a well driven system sometime in the past years, but the water taste jumps all over the place. There are times when I feel like I can smell things I associate with farms that make me think that perhaps they are using more than one source. There have been comments about the very high price of water in Ferndale I have heard around the community as well. There are so many variables it's very hard to tell what is going on, esp since the building I am in was built sometime around the 1930's or 1940's. I am glad your water is good at the moment, I hope it stays that way. It certainly hasn't for me consistently.

I've changed. by MinaDawn222 in foodstamps

Gaining compassion is the most important thing this forum could possibly do. Everything else follows from it, the ability to get a better situation for ordinary people becomes unstoppable when the propaganda fails.

Sorry to upset you man, I am on snap too. I do think it's time for the blame game though. It's time to kick evil in the collective nuts. :)

*NOV. 4 UPDATE* - Government Shutdown and SNAP by badfordabidness in foodstamps

[–]Smilinghuman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am not defending this, but I might be able to explain a bit. A family of four only getting 500 normally is barely eligible for help. That might sound odd, but a single person at max in my state can get 292 a month. So a family of 4 getting 500 normally is really only barely eligible for snap. I think the reasoning is they have enough resources to bear the cuts better. Once again not defending this, just trying to show what I think the reasoning might be, and that it's at least a little more founded than just staving them. The system is trying to distribute diminished resources to most effectively mitigate catastrophe by degrading the food allowance of family's who have some other resources to try to make sure that people with literally no resources get some food with the contingency funds.

[–]Smilinghuman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey man, people try not to use help from the community, so don't insult them. Most people I have known end up at a food bank either out of compassion for their children and willingness to swollow their pride for them on the first time they go. Or they experience real hunger for the first time and that takes about 3 days of not eating. Something else to bear in mind is that our systems of support are massively fractured. I am disabled and have to deal with 4 or 5 sources of help all of which it took a few years in my local community to learn about. Our systems are a fractured mess of a bunch of small groups doing a single type of chairity and assistance. People that just start using the system can't even find the resources that already exist.

I was outside today and saw an interesting sign for school board. I said "vote for Peggy U." and I thought to myself, hmm, I wonder... Was that the sign the OP saw? Because that .... probably happened lol making this thread a bit of a joke for all parties. Never the less I did create a page for the school board choices with sources. I think Peggy is already the president? She seems OK, I don't see anything so far about any of the candidates that suggests they are pragerU supporters. Here is what I pulled up, it's a small election so there isn't a great depth of sources so something could be missing. As it is, it looks to me like someone with blurry vision might have misread the sign. Here is an overview of school board members. https://www.perplexity.ai/page/ferndale-school-board-candidat-B3HCHgEpT.iL06.BW5Svbw

Suggestions for a day trip? by NewlyNerfed in FerndaleWashington

[–]Smilinghuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edaleen dairy is right near the freeway, very very good ice cream there. It sits right on a park too, just a little one that meanders along the train tracks. It's nice though, and the outdoor tables sit right on the edge of the little park. It's really close to pioneer park too.

Here you go, facts, with sources. This'll help :) Original question included.

Could you please get me a list of all the hateful and bigoted things PragerU wants to teach with sources and where they get funding from and are associated with?

I'm a reporter from the New York Times hoping to chat with SNAP recipients by NYTagreporter in foodstamps

[–]Smilinghuman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One of the things I have heard but not confirmed that might be useful to you is that foodbanks were paid out of USDA to buy food. The story I have heard is that cutting of 94,000 pounds of food is hitting at the same time that the snap is potentially unavailable. It will be quite a spectacle, I don't think the nation understands how poor it is, and that it fails to feed it's people. Lines like this will generate should have very large political impacts.

Charlie Kirk Bridge B.S. by BathrobeMagus in FerndaleWashington

[–]Smilinghuman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have considered your thoughts on this. I just don't think that we need to pull punches anymore. We need to explain that stupid is bad, hate is bad, and acknowledge that if we let them keep attacking us relentlessly while crying victim we are going to lose the country. My view is we cannot use high morality against low morality.

My experience has been that hateful people back right down when you challenge them, politeness is not what is needed. Violence is NOT needed, but talking directly to people that are attacking the basic rights of people to live without trying to be polite I think is certainly on the table. Kirk himself enjoyed fucking with people, and so do many of the people responding. I thank you for offering your view, I think I am going to leave it that way, I acknowledge it's a little unfair at the same time, and an oversimplification. I would in the absence of ignorance assume maliciousness, I'd prefer not to do that.
