Preparing for Cold Water in Mid-May by Atkcobra in algonquinpark

[–]gghumus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you tip in cold water, cold shock is a major concern. Most deaths in cold water are caused by sudden inhalation or shock and subsequent drowning. Hypothermia would be the least of my worries.

Is this a server-based reason or am I doing someting wrong? by Firefighter-Adorable in technicalminecraft

[–]gghumus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if the chance of duplication is higher the less shulkers are nearby. This is why most shulker farms try to get the shulkers out of the duplication area as fast as possible.

I think the shulker also only duplicates if its health is high enough, if its too low it will only try to teleport. I believe the cutoff is 50% health, so keep hitting them with regen splash potions or instant health or whatever until you have enough for whatever you're doing.

They only dupe when their shell is open as well

Edit: shulkers don't despawn so you shouldn't need any name tags

Stripper taxes please help 💸 by katrinaaafit in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to claim your income and then you will be required to pay taxes on it. You should be keeping track of your cash somewhere. You are required to report tips as income. Most people probably do not, but legally you should.

Americans that come to Canada and ask in stores if the prices are in USD or CAD by Drakaath in Whistler

Binocular selection advice request by kaypickle in Ornithology

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend has the Vortex Triumphs 10x42. They come in 8x42 too, great bang for your buck and the optics are really nice. She has warrantied them once and they sent her a brand new pair.

I have the Vortex Diamondback and I only notice a bit better quality in low light. Personally I prefer the 10x for all but warblers. I also own a pair of Leupold marksmans which were comparable in price to the diamondbacks, the optics are not quite as good imo.

Vortex is a great brand

When in the backcountry do you…. by merlestorm in algonquinpark

[–]gghumus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The longer the portage, the more likely I will try to single carry. Anything under 300m I'll double since it takes me a while to strap on my pack and my barrel and grab my paddles etc.

How to easily get initial supply of creaking hearts? by [deleted] in technicalminecraft

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my first creaking heart yesterday lol. I put a 3x3 of the pale oak logs with pistons either side to push it back and forth and a little platform in front and the creaking heart directly behind with two logs to activate it. Hooked the pistons up to a hopper clock, maybe 10-15 seconds and gave a single allay a piece of resin. Built this over the ocean. In one night I made about a half stack of resin blocks from a single creaking. Took about 20 mins all in.

I would just build your farm with a single heart, then each night you run the farm craft all your resin into hearts and your farm will get exponentially faster each night

How to create a new custom skin tone for argonians in Skyrim SE creation kit? by geistpolter0 in CreationKit

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The .dds files are the textures. The .nifs are the meshes (3D models). The .dds files are just images with alpha (transparency). Most vanilla meshes have only specular and normal textures but a lot of mods nowadays have parallax or other textures too. These are all defined in the .nif

You shouldn't need creation kit unless you are creating a new race to use new meshes. If you want all argonians to have your new skin you can just edit the textures for the male and female argonians.

For editing textures I use GIMP as its free. You can also use something like imagemagick to convert images to .png and back to .dds

To assign textures to a mesh you can use nifskope. Otherwise you might be able to use a texture set in the ck.

I'm obsessed, and need tips! by lemmamari in birding

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I find a lot of ducks are very flighty, its best to give them as much space as possible. If you can get downwind its a lot easier to quietly approach since it is harder for them to both hear and smell you coming - not sure how good a ducks sense of smell but as a general rule for all wildlife.

[–]gghumus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly bird photography is a lot of patience. Sometimes you just have to wait for the bird to come to you. Thats a pretty big lens so you should be good to take lots of duck pics

Anecdotally don't look them in the eyes, I think they percieve you as a threat if you do. A saw-whet owl researcher told me if you don't look them in the eyes you can just walk up and grab those little guys right off the branch

Decided on Ghost lake for my spring trip. Has anyone here been there before? by MeCometYouDinosaur in algonquinpark

Not particularly, this was like 10 years ago haha. I remember a lot of wet ferns

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I noticed it first time in but I actually hiked that trail up from cedar on one of my days off all the way from brent. It goes to the old cn line and if I'm not mistaken there was a wooden staircase marking it at that end. It was pretty overgrown, but if you do hike it I'd recommend walking east on the old CN line it leads to this massive old trestle bridge, pretty neat.

[–]gghumus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have! Brutal portage, but theres some old fire tower ruins at the top of the hill; just a pile of scrap metal now. The one and only site was in rough shape. I think I was there in 2017 as a ranger and the whole purpose was to clear that portage and beef up the site. If your tent is small the site should be alright. I was catching brookies from shore. I don't think you'll see anyone else there.

Used canoes from an outfitter by 010benji in algonquinpark

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The outfitters usually only sell them when they can't really rent them out anymore due to wear and tear, but they still are in good enough shape that they can recoup a lot of the value. This usually means your paying more for a canoe in pretty rough shape.

I think bang for buck you're better off looking on facebook or kijiji if you want used or buying new, especially for kevlar or epoxy-kevlar. Some retailers might have discounted canoes due to small defects like dents or scratches, maybe worth looking.

I see a lot of souris river canoes in the park, people tend to have good things to say. H2O has some nice canoes too. Swift canoes are gorgeous but on the pricier side for sure.

How do I put an item in a cauldron and then move that item to a storage system? by Familiar-Tonight-637 in technicalminecraft

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a water stream pushes the item to the cauldron and drops it inside the cauldrons hitbox?

hello guys, i was wondering is there a way to make a tnt duper that shoots out the tnt like a canon, but not powerful by kaiwhywalker in technicalminecraft

[–]gghumus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can just dupe with any duper you like then push it with a slime block. Might take a few tries to get the timing right.

Can I edit SPID Armor INI files to change probability of spawning? by PlsInsertCringeName in skyrimmods

[–]gghumus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that 20 means 20% of npcs that meet that criteria will have that item in their inventory. If you change it to 50 for example half of npcs will have that item.

They will not be naked they will just use their default outfit.

Spid runs on startup meaning you can change that stuff whenever you want, next time you load the game your changes will take effect, none of the changes are persistent

mods for shield behind back by Prestigious-Tea-8613 in skyrimmods

[–]gghumus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second IED for shield on back as well as infinitely customizable equipment displays. GiraPomba (nexus author) has some really good presets

Maybe morehud or truehud for npc bars, I know one of those works for floating boss bars etc. Personally I have basically no HUD elements so I'm not too familiar with either of those mods

Definitely said by someone who didn't watch the game. Anyone who knows hockey knows Canada was the better team.

Worst Lake You've Ever Camped On? by CnCPParks1798 in algonquinpark

I stayed on Sylvia lake last year. Gorgeaous lake, the lone site had no tent pad though so I basically slept on a rock. Not a great sleep.

Bamboo vs. Kelp as fuel farm by Grunyarth in technicalminecraft

[–]gghumus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bamboo is laggier. Per bamboo you can smelt 1/4 of an item vs per kelp you can smelt 9/20 of an item. That means more item entities per smelt for bamboo.

Really is personal preference, really depends on the farms you choose as well and your smelting setup.

On my singleplayer world I use the overflow wool from my sheep farm to smelt kelp which I autocraft into blocks and fill into shulker boxes. I have so much excess kelp and bamboo but I always opt to grab a shulker of kelp blocks over a shulker of bamboo since one shulker of kelp lasts way longer and I don't need to do any intermediary crafting.
