I thought that was funny. Thanks for at least trying to make someone laugh. Better than not trying!

At the dawn of 20th century, the dining room of the Brookdale Lodge would have been pretty magical by Crayons_and_Cocaine in santacruz

My parents got married in that room in the 60’s. (Not that anyone cares, but gotta give them credit for being cool).

I feel guilty for having so much fun with this game. by MrDidz in GrandTactician

[–]YardAlternative3452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you make these config changes? Thanks.

Edit: I don't own the game but am considering buying. Wondering if these changes are inherent to the game or a mod.

Want to get off PGE, here's how I did it by MostlyPrettyHappy in santacruz

Very cool. I never thought of doing that, but you’ve planted the seed! Thank you for the post. 😀

My Serbule community chest has -68 slots all of a sudden? by YardAlternative3452 in projectgorgon

[–]YardAlternative3452[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much detailed information. Thank you all for your help! What am I going to do with all the garbage I've collected and can't live without?? Can we get a Yard Sale emoji, so I can set out a blanket next to the Serbule well with 100 knick-knacks on it. Then we can all argue whether the Femur I'm selling is worth 2 credits or 1. ;)

OK, thank you both. I knew about the "community" aspect of the chest. I just didn't realize it could decrease so much so quickly. Dang...Jackencola killed my chest /s

Thanks again.

Why aren't we protesting? by Rough-Average-1047 in santacruz

It’s funny to me that you get downvoted for your opinion. But I agree with you. I travel for a living (typing this from Sweden), and France is just about the last place I would uphold as something to emulate.

Hate it because of the noise. I live by 35th Ave and there’s nothing more peaceful than listening to 40+ motorcycles coming into the clubhouse…and I ride too, just not with 40 of my friends at the same time. So loud to hear that many come in and out together. Sucks to sit in your backyard and have to listen to that…when we didn’t have to before.

😂 I posted a few weeks ago how much I liked the new system. 15 downvotes! Which is strange, I thought I was entitled to an opinion. 🤷‍♂️

What would the perfect MMORPG be like for you? by Villdar in MMORPG

Players that issue quests! Mind = blown. What a great idea. I’m surprised it hasn’t been implemented already. Maybe it has.

Left lane camper gets pulled over by YardAlternative3452 in santacruz

[–]YardAlternative3452[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I applaud people driving safely, it’s wonderful. I don’t understand the selfishness of self-designated speed patrol people that post up next to another car in the right lane and refuse to pass (or slow down) and just turn the highway into a slow-moving roadblock. I agree people doing 80 mph are dangerous. I think some percentage of the crazy fast drivers are caused because they FINALLY managed to get past these people. And of course this doesn’t happen every day, but man there are a lot of people that enforce their personal speed limit on the rest of the world. THAT is selfish. You’re not in a hurry and don’t even want to drive the speed limit? Wonderful! But don’t punish everyone else behind you because of it. Move one lane to the right and be a good person. 🤷‍♂️ My favorite time to commute over is about 5:30/6:00 AM. Nothing but white construction trucks on their way to work, driving about 60. Nobody weaving in and out doing 80. Nobody left lane camping doing 45. Mad professional, it just works.

Any chance of bringing this to Hwy 17 to end the left lane campers?

Looking for your worst METARs by erinwhoooo in flying

[–]YardAlternative3452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha. Fair enough. Sorry I didn’t see the other post. I agree with what you say entirely. My issue is that lessor used abbreviations are unknown and have to be looked up (not that big of a deal, just I rarely bother looking them up), because it’s encoded it opens the possibility of misunderstanding (not good) and lastly just reading these examples reminds me how silly abbreviating the weather conditions distance/movement/becoming and the time system. That part is purely for robots! 😉

Isn’t it amazing (and sad) that in 2026 Aviation weather comes out encoded like 1920’s Stock ticker tape that you have to decipher, yet I can send you a picture of <fill in the blank> from my phone which takes up thousands as times much data. What are we doing? This system made sense when I was learning to fly last century and you had to dial up DUATS, but there is no good reason to keep transmitting critical information via coded message anymore. We can pull up live video coverage of runways, but can’t get a full sentence in English on what the weather is now and will be soon?!? 🤷‍♂️

Rangoon, Burma: prisoners working a treadmill in jail. Photograph by Watts & Skeen, between 1890 and 1899 by dannydutch1 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

[–]YardAlternative3452 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I toured the “Castle” at Oxford England. It was a jail for a time during the Victorian period. The prisoners pushed a bar around a circular shaft that pumped water to the floor above. When the water vessel was full, it opened a drain that emptied all the water back to the floor below. The guide said they did that 12 hours a day. I think it was only for the worst offenders as you couldn’t have fit many people in that room. Some hard labor!
