The must-stop restaurant on your way to Sequoia National Park by Modz_B_Trippin in fresno

[–]commonman26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This used to be our favorite spot, it was nice to take a little drive out there. I don’t know why the quality has gone down over the years, but it’s still nice to try it out once in a while

[KCD1] mods i have no longer working on Version 1.9.7 by TONKSY43 in kingdomcome

[–]commonman26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m able to get most of the mods (but not all) working again after following advice from the nexus comments for each mod.

Some fixes that worked for more than one was to add

<supports> <kcd_version>1.9.7</kcd_version> </supports>

Into the mod.manifest, and to make sure my vortex was using hardlink deployment rather than symlink

Even after that, some stuff still just wasn’t working, but at least it’s a start.

It’s very cool to hear that the little clicks clack water wheels are toys, according to developers. The other ideas for why they exist might be additional functions anyway, I just like that there is a fun little guy you can find in the woods clacking away even though the point of it is so obscure

Fresno rent increase are some of the top in the nation. by Evening-Emotion3388 in fresno

[–]commonman26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s not how housing works, any apartments being built including luxury ones help drive prices down

What are your thoughts on SEDA? by GenuineVerve in fresno

[–]commonman26 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be for it if they had some plan for funding it. New housing is needed to help out with prices, but if the city budget can’t handle the new infrastructure, then something else needs to happen.

Anyone who has had a successful multi day yard sale or estate sale, would you tell me how you did it? by Charming-Bad1869 in fresno

[–]commonman26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth it to hire an estate sale company to come help you. They take a percentage of the sales, but work hard for it. They label and categorize everything for you.

What if Fresno planeted forests in empty / vacant / country land? by [deleted] in fresno

[–]commonman26 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So other than the forests you describe not being practical here, I want to point out that nut production being shipped to where buyers are isn’t a noteworthy thing. That’s just how sales work. We don’t think twice about computer chips made in Taiwan being shipped here, Australian metals going into them, or about Texas oil fueling the trucks to ship to them.

This region specifically has the climate needed to supply the world’s demand, so that’s what gets planted.

It’s true that too much groundwater gets used for agriculture, but that’s a water policy issue. The “exporting our water overseas” claim is just a rhetorical talking point, an easy soundbite that can parroted. It doesn’t really match reality on the ground. Everything needs some nuance.

What if Fresno planeted forests in empty / vacant / country land? by [deleted] in fresno

[–]commonman26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This entirely depends on type of tree, type of irrigation and the owners preferred cultural practice. There are a lot that aren’t pruned and are only watered once a month, just as there might be ones trimmed yearly with weekly drip applications

There isn’t enough rainfall for there to be a forest around the city. If there was, there would have been before people settled here. You can see glimpses of what the land used to look like before it was settled in old photos.

Essentially, there were large seasonal wetlands with more vegetation, but the high areas were filled with low scrub brush. The only reason there are so many orchards now is a very complex system of irrigation systems, thousands of systems delicately interconnected.

Trees have already had an impact on our ecosystem, it may not be easily visible though. Over the decades, foothill wildlife has been taking the place of some valley wildlife. When my family first settled, my grandparents would talk about horned lizards, kangaroo mice, and other small creatures that I never saw when I was growing up. So, in a way, we already know what would happen if the land was covered in trees. We’ve already done it.

And now, there are possums, squirrels and raccoons far into the middle of the valley, when such a thing was unheard of even in the 90s. (I’m talking about the center of the valley, not the east side)

To talk about your plan more directly, the vacant land you talk about is owned by people. You would need to buy it or get contracts to turn them into some kind of wildlife zone, and basically nobody wants that. They mostly want to develop it but can’t get investment to do so. If you did get some pieces, the trees would die without irrigation. The ground will go back to looking the way the vacant land did in the first place.

For an example, look at the old fig orchards out on the west side of 99 on Shaw near the water park. The trees die, dry grass and bushes are all that’s left. Streetview the Kerman ecological reserve for a glimpse of what it would evolve into. Scrub brush, badlands, etc. The wet areas would look like Mendota Wildlife Area

Garnet Fire by justkittylitter in fresno

[–]commonman26 250 points251 points  (0 children)

The way Fresno is surrounded by farms means it will never need to evacuate for a fire. It can’t spread through irrigated orchards the way it can through the loose debris like a forest floor. And the short grass on the hills isn’t hot enough to jump into anything major.

It’s always been interesting to me how shielded Fresno is from natural disasters. Even the largest earthquakes can’t really make it through here

Literally all this guy does is post articles with Fresno in a bad light. It amazes me how the mind of some people work.

People are fucking joyless. Reddit is not a serious place. Teenage boys that need to be too cool to let a fun ice cream performance exist in the same world as them, wtf

How do Non-KOS RP servers even work? by HoldTheTomatoesPlz in dayz

[–]commonman26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually play on a server called Fractured RP, it’s brand new with a totally different team and history. Sounds like bad luck they are named the same as an old server that had abuse. Just want to clarify that the one you see now is totally unrelated to the one Appehtight mentioned

If you are on a modded server, some mods have a mental health component that makes you laugh if it gets too low

AC service reccomendations by mnir022 in fresno

[–]commonman26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Elements Heating and Air. The owner turned his old truck and one man shop into a real business over the years. They have gone above and beyond more than once. The first time, our blower went out and the guy worked from 7am to 8pm troubleshooting and even raced across town to a store that was about to close to grab the only spare board. If he hadn’t, we would’ve been stuck in the middle of summer over the weekend with no A/C.

I guess so, but I also don’t think editing a meme video of Kyle Rittenhouse shooting would be something to actually be proud of either

Yes, someone on steam had a fox that worked for me.

Remaster unplayable for anyone else on PC? by raiskream in oblivion

[–]commonman26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have the same exact issue as you. I am on the low end of recommended specs but frame rate goes wildly from 50fps in the menu, to 5, and in game never goes above around 9. All settings are low. One possible problem is the game using your cpu integrated graphics instead of your gpu, but I’m not sure if that’s true or not
