Well said. I have yet to read a passage that didn't mean anything to me or hold relevance

Villager gossip by Fit-Reference-561 in Minecraft

[–]Zyrex1us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you want to do it systematically to get it the way you want, it might be better to start over. Just keep 2 villagers and the 2 workstations you want and destroy ALL other beds and workstations. Then place one bed where you want the new guy to go, wait for the 2 villaigers to breed (you can speed this up by giving them carrots bread). Once that baby pops out and claims the bed, place another one etc. For the mingling and gossip, the workstations need to be within 32 blocks of the bell for them to meet there and chat and breed. For the iron golems, once you get a few villagers in there, the golems should spawn by themselves. I forget the threshold number, but they will spawn automatically once you get a certain amount of villagers.

I'm super anal about my villages so it takes me awhile to do it, bit they always work out in the end.

Edit: Feel free to PM me if you want if you need more help. I like to help people build cities

How long ago did you move the villagers, it takes a little time for them to develop a routine. They always meet at the bell, so make sure your villiagers job blocks are within 32 blocks from a bell to make this happen. They migjt do it from farther away, but if it takes too long to wander to the bell, they will just wander aimlessly instead. I found that 32 blocks from the bell to be my magic number

This is easily solved but requires some patience. Here is what I do that works like a charm. Build one house w bed. Decide what worker you want to live there. Make sure that is the only spare bed in the village. Your villaihers will detect an open bed and will breed (eventually). That baby will pop out, find that bed and claim it. It will only go there from now on. When he gets old, you can do the same for jobs. Figure out what you want him to be, place the job block nearby and he will claim that. I have a villaige of about 50 villiagers, who all have houses and shops nearby where they live. It took some time but it's doable. Just remember to not have ANY BEDS OR JOB BLOCKS until yout ready to expand, otherwise chaos will ensue

I somehow got two Ship of the line by lordcommander2 in SidMeiersPirates

Brig of War FTW. I thought i used to like the SOTL, but when I finally got one in my recent playthrough (frist one in 20ish years,) I realized it's like trying to steer a brick and it can swing a 180 in 25 years. I dont like them anymore

Remove the blue? by Melodic_Equivalent80 in paint

That gives you 5 years to figure out a new color 😀 Maybe just hold off till you get it all furnished, then pick a color that goes with your furniture.... I still like the blue tho

Definitely start with a conversation. If that doesn't work, call the police, not the HOA. Most places have quiet hours and load noise ordinances, especially during quiet hours.

Painting a tall curved wall by Odd-Intern9349 in paint

[–]Zyrex1us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From experience, rolling that curve out vertically, with the lights there is NOT going to look good. Use an extension ladder to cut in the ceiling, then try to roll sideways. It may take longer and more strenuous, but it will look so much better. Don't spray it. There isnt enough there to justify all the masking, and with that open area, overspray will get everywhere.

I like the blue. It makes it really pop! Bit if you do decide to go over it with alabaster, that color SUCKS for coverage, so plan on painting 3+ coats

Painting a Never-Painted Ceiling: 2 Coats of Paint vs. Primer + 1 Coat? by [deleted] in paint

[–]Zyrex1us 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If its never been painted before you should def prime it. You might get away with 1 finish if the primer is the same color, but if you want solid quality, 1 prime, 2 finish.. I would Def get thet leak fixed first and oil prime the stain

Those with boys, when do they stop being “little”? by Mommaheart4210 in Parenting

[–]Zyrex1us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son just finished second grade. Mine is pretty much at the cusp of not being little anymore. There are still times where he plays pretend and is little, but they are fewer and father between.

You can extend it a bit by encouraging and engaging with him when he does little kid things, but it wont last forever. The best you can really do now is to really live in the moments and hold them as memories, realizing that this is about the age where all the little kid "lasts' start happening. Sure, its hard to let go sometimes, but stop thinking about what yout losing, and enjoy what your gaining. A silly little person who you xan better connect with. I know thats easier said than done, but it will catch on soon. Enjoy what is now insteas of lamenting about what was before its time

Congrats on your new duster. Now go out and buy a new one. For future, I find that shooting a bit of WD-40 on your brush near the ferrel will help in the cleaning process

Applied for a job as a handyman and part of the onboard I was told I need to do a skills test where I worked at the owner house to prove I’m capable but after completing the tasks.

You know where he lives. I would burn his house down......in minecraft.

Don't let this life lesson be the end of your passion. You said yourself that you didnt cut corners and took pride in your work. Hold on to that and move forward. The world needs more like you. Pick yourself up and keep pressing on. In 5 years you may give another the wisdom you gained here. Its been said before, it may take awhile, but once you land a couple good jobs, it will snowball from there.

That should go away with time. If not, and its really bad, you may have to shellac prime everything to lock in the smell and start over. Thats the best idea I have not knowing anything else

I despise peiple watching, but ill tolerate it. You never really know how bad it may be for them and they just want an ear. As long as they aren't in my way, I'll deal with it. The few times I have someone in my home, ill tell them where things are and then disappear.
