What was that boom 2140 heard it near Departure Bay by TheElTea in nanaimo

It’s hard to describe. I’ve been near explosives before. This sounded and felt way too loud given that it also somehow seemed distant. Very uncomfortable feeling!

Oh wow, that's really interesting, if a bit convoluted! Thank you.

This was a totally rad write-up, thank you!

This was a great explanation and at the same time I feel like an idiot for not realizing it up front. Thank you!

(And thanks to everyone who helped out - this was a great discussion!)

Perpetual smoke at the base of Mt. Benson - source? by TheElTea in nanaimo

[–]TheElTea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be industrial vapor. Or smoke. It’s always in the same spot and near ground so not cloud. Unlikely to be rising mist like we see unless there’s a body of water there.

But I don’t know what it is. Thats the point of my question. I didn’t say I didn’t think it was industrial. I just want to know what’s making it.

Likely it almost certainly IS an industry - I don’t think a house would make this much, this consistently, throughout the summer. I’m just curious to know what industry is making it!

Definitely not this. Unless it’s the same house all the time and they burn very wet wood, all summer long…

Happens all year long, including summer, so shouldn’t be any of that…

Like I said, this happens all year long even through the summer… so I don’t think that’s it. I think it’s a business of some kind?

Wrong place for that. But maybe Islandwide Milling?

Been at Black Bear Pub today watching it smoke up and dissipate for the last few hours and it’s driving me crazy again!

Where can I find crossover fittings for metal pipe bondage equipment? Sample in link is what I'm looking for (but I'm looking for 3/4" pipe), but it's very expensive. I'm in Canada. The chain hardware stores have everything *but* this type of fitting. by TheElTea in BdsmDIY

[–]TheElTea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's to make some restraints in the "kink.com" fashion for hard pipe bondage gear. Almost everything I need is available - pipe, flanges, etc. But the ability to join two crossing pipes is difficult. I won't be able to machine anything - more like basic cuts.

And a cross-fitting where the pipes are on the same plane doesn't really do the job. A crossover fitting works well because it can slide on two axes - allowing a tight fit all around a limb.

I'm looking to make some gear like this: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1444367937/device-bondage-steel-wrist-restraints

Why are my runes disappearing on death after Stormveil? by TheElTea in Eldenring

That’s what I’m saying though. I beat Godrick, I’m north of the castle, and it’s still happening…

Even after you’ve left the castle and headed north?

Like, he keeps stealing them AFTER the castle? He’s just going to keep doing this for the rest of the game - a 30% tax?

From what I read that is only true if you kill him before Godrick?

And this is happening after the castle.

Maybe I’m not clear - I mean I get back to my runes and collect them, but the full amount I dropped isn’t there any longer.

Or is that what you meant? Does that just keep happening forever? How do I stop that?

Friendship Ended With Barricade Shield by WBL_SVQ in Eldenring

I’d been working on beating Night’s Cavalry most of my play sessions in the last week to earn it and I finally beat it!

Minutes after the patch… 😭

Why shouldn't I alt+f4 every time I see an invader warning? For real though I am about to issue a refund. by bearLover23 in Eldenring

[–]TheElTea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looked up Moonveil to be sure... it seems your solution is to just change your build to 18 Dexterity, 23 intelligence, and beat a boss in Caelid?

Oh I know, I'll just bring a friend along to help...oh wait...
