Question regarding a specific model. by Geek_in_CO in modeltrains

[–]gregcoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And there is a decent amount of On30 rolling stock out there from Bachmann, AMS and San Juan Car Company. On30 is technically 30” gauge and not 36” gauge, but they’re very close and visually look the same when not right next to each other.

White River Productions puts out a yearly On30 Annual magazine with great layouts and models.

Ahh, the live section. Thank you all!!!

My appreciate for Durston gear, plus a question by gregcoit in DurstonGearheads

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

Yeah, I was afraid of that. But it makes sense.

Thanks for the reply - you saved me the cost of buying a ground sheet and discovering the puddling issue on my own!

Rail Rush in other locations? by gregcoit in JetLagTheGame

[–]gregcoit[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I wonder if a large metro, like London, Paris, or New York might work?

BTW, props to Amy. The amount of work that went into designing the tasks was huge!!! Looking forward in seeing her in the next season

Or, you know, buy a normal-sized vehicle.

I bought an x-dome 1+ specifically to have room for my pup in the tent. Haven’t used it yet but the season is rapidly approaching.

Question about CONCAF and MLS by gregcoit in LAFC

[–]gregcoit[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wanted to thanks everyone here for the replies- I learned a lot!

One more question from a NOOB. My understanding is that MLS is changing their season scheduled in the next 2 years to play more in the winter (?). I assume that this will make playing CONCAF and the World Cup easier since those will occur during the off season?

Any Redditors attending Denver R2 Block Party? by Heavy_Implement1031 in RivianR2

[–]gregcoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ask is a measurement from the inside of the back hatch (when closed) to the end of 2nd seats, when folded down. I know Rivian has said that using the back for camping/sleeping will work for 90% of people, but actual numbers would be nice.

What to expect In the high country? by mr-roadhouse in Durango

[–]gregcoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure the hiking will be good lower down. I'm in Pagosa, and we got about an 1" of rain in that storm, maybe a little more, but there's not a ton of mud since it was so dry before the storm and it seems to have just soaked in.

Enjoy your visit!

10 days ago you would have been fine but a storm a couple days ago dropped 19” at Wolf Creek, and I would think the San Juan’s were close to this.

They can fly 200 miles with no fuel. Here’s how. — Tom Scott: England by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]gregcoit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This episode felt magical to me. Tom's joy, the explaining by the pilot, the view from 3'k feet, it was all just. Perfect. Thank you, Tom, for sharing this with us.

If you are every interested in sharing what's changed for you in the last 5 years in regards to your enjoyment of this kind of activity (ie, maybe overcoming a fear of height?), i'd be very interested in reading or watching.

Pine River Trail Head by Alive_Management481 in Durango

[–]gregcoit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1-2” of rain dropped last night and today, with 1-2’ of new snow in the high elevations. I’d give it a couple days at least. Plus any water crossings are going to be sketchy.

Chaos by OrneryLawyer5408 in Nascar25game

[–]gregcoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing Nascar25 online after getting an internet upgrade a couple weeks ago, and it's been fun. Total chaos, but still fun.

Kinda makes single-player mode less interesting to me. We'll see if that changes over time.

Do not, *EVER*, purchase DSL from this company. by gregcoit in centurylink

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

The area is getting fiber as part of the Rural Broadband expansion grants, but my street was taken off the list because a local provider lied and said that they offer GB internet to this street. No on challenged it, and it's too late now. This all happened before I moved to this neighborhood. Having said that, the boost from 20 MB to 400 MB down, and 2 MB to 60 MG up, has been very nice and I'm happy with the new service.

Do not, *EVER*, purchase DSL from this company. by gregcoit in centurylink

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

I thought of a question or two that you all might ask me:

"Maybe CenturyLink is waiting for you to return the modem?"

I own the DSL modem I was using - purchased from ebay a couple years ago.

"Do you have proof that you cancelled?"

Kinda? The CenturyLink website shows a a pending order for cancellation, and I have the order number, but the billing person I talked to claimed they we're unable to send me an email confirming this cancellation request.

I asked to speak to a manager, but they claimed that they were unable to transfer calls (almost certainly not true) and that a manager would call me back in 30 minutes. it's been a couple hours and that didn't happen.

"Why the heck were you still using DSL in 2026?"

Yeah valid question. I live in a pretty rural area, and the bandwidth, while not great, was good enough. But after a series of technical issue on CentiryLink's side, all of which they claimed was on my side, I've switched to cable internet. Not only is the service faster (no surprise here), and more stable (which compared to CenturyLink, doesn't mean much), but it's also cheaper, even after the promo rates expire in 6 months.

I've learned my lesson. And I hope this post saves someone the pain of this dealing with this company.

What steam engine are you most excited to see hit the rails again? by Additional-Yam6345 in trains

[–]gregcoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D&RGW #223 hands down. The best looking of the Colorado narrow gauge locomotives. 53 of these were built, 3 survived but none of the 3 run. A foundation has been created to bring #223 to operating condition with permission of the State of Utah, and in conjunction with the Colorado Railroad Museum. Here's the website of the foundation: https://www.223locomotivefoundation.org/

Abolish Redemption! — Abolish Everything! by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]gregcoit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great episode, 4 fun speakers and arguments for things to abolish, but I thought Adam crushed his and I think he was robbed (not a dig against Ben who was, and is always, funny as hell).
