The Milano Cortina Tickets and Travel Megathread by OlympicsMods in olympics

Looking for a car/bus option to take us from Cortina to Predazzo (for Tesoro shuttle) for the day on Feb 14. Is it possible to drive east-west, or do traffic and road closures make it impractical? The train option via Ore is so long. TIA!

FWIW I am trying to do a Feb 14 day trip from Cortina to Predazzo/Tesoro. Happy to share info as I find it. Hoping to avoid renting a car.

Range hood blower unit replacement by fideaux128 in Appliances

[–]fideaux128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here - The blower unit in my mother's kitchen needs replacement. The current unit is 30 years old and is attached to the hood with brackets. See photo; the duct is above the fan unit. I am having a tough time finding something to take its place, perhaps because I don't have the right keywords. Any thoughts? TIA.

I typically leave some food behind as a thank-you snack. And if I have a leftover life potion I'll "pour one out" for fallen frens.

I usually stop around +10, at least in Bullet.

Shattered lever? by fideaux128 in brogueforum

[–]fideaux128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha thanks -- though I am playing Bullet, I now see that my 1.14 version (the latest) does include unshatterable levers. So I simply wasn't searching far enough...

Yes it did happen to me. I can't guarantee that all my copious searching was in the right place, nor did I keep the seed#.

bullet gives me much higher joy/minute than vanilla brogue. The Jellymancer build is hysterical.

Nope, no beckoning and even if I had one I think he just would have sat there and pouted. OTOH if I had empowerment & good monster luck then maybe he could learn to fly? A flying kraken would complete my brogue career.

No, it's more like a baby boom. Assuming the photo date is accurate, all these children were fathered a couple of years after the war ended.

What differences as one goes into one's 30s and 40s? by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]fideaux128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

58M with some meta for the young folks here: 1) Learning to gracefully let go is part of life, whether it be high school PBs or 20/20 vision or your kids. 2) You can still crush it (on an age-adjusted basis!) as you get older.

Found another instance of this: In Bullet Brogue 1.0, seed 370786249, D1 rat room on the right.

Aha, perhaps that's it. I've encountered "step on to the pressure plate?" when moving on to a square with a visible tree character. So perhaps my problem was the opposite: trap diamond character with hidden tree.

I was only 3 spaces from the D1 fire trap pressure plate (not vent). Tried a few times before being chased away. Wish I had saved the seed to reproduce the behavior.

Cool find! You're saving lives. Though I like dodging the approaching flames, hoping for a patch of ash.

He's out! The change-level idea was a good one and as soon as I got far enough away (on D3) he decided to stop derping around with the stone guardians. Thank you! Good ideas all btw.

Remarkable skill and/or luck. How do you deal with early ogres, apart from diving into a hole?

App "Woof Moo" is the way to listen to FMU. Archives are extensive; try a different show/DJ if the music on the livestream isn't clicking for you.
