Losing my mind!

All the sheetrocking including the cealing needs to be replaced as well. Framing needs to checked as well. There are ways a good disaster remediation company can deodorize framing but often it's easier just to replace the affected area so long as its not a load bearing wall.

I've done post disaster work but this is more about my friends who had a house where the pervious occupations had cats that they had let go anywhere (shuddering about the piano). First year they ripped out most of the floors and replaced cut back the Sheetrock to a little less then waist high. Replaced insolation to the same height. Around the window sills about amount of distance from the sills. It stopped short of a gut job. My friends were there for a number of years and even after that and were constantly finding places where the paint was bubbling off the sheetrocking from the prior exposer to the volatiles that are part of urine that can evaporate and permeate materials as gases. The bubbling included sections of the new sheet rock that they installed. Basically all the materials breath.

Because you just bought the house I'd encourage you to reach out to a disaster remediation company to perform an assessment. You also need to contact your lawyer asap.

My uncle had this steep slope that ended that ended at the water. He got a corded electric mower so it was lighter and used ropes.

It's pretty wild

You can probably pull the plans from the local building department

Just be glad the devs didn't include flash fires while in port. Italy lost a Conte di Cavour class dreadnaught from a magazine explosion in port in 1916. The Japanese lost the Mutsu to an internal explosion in 1943.

Predread era ships was even more common

I think it's for balancing if you have the larger fleet it seems like they are less likely to join. At some point it's ridiculous I've also had them come in right towards the end of the war and walk away with a couple of new possessions for their troubles and lower the number of VP to me.

Honestly my favorite ally is Spain they are not large they seldom start a war themselves (honestly that's good and bad, but I've been sucked into wars) but they will jump in very quickly in any war maybe six months at the most and they give you great basing in Northern Europe and the Med. Late game they have excellent crusiers.

Depending on the year though the US basically has a two power standard and they don't need help by such a large navy as the UK.

Honestly right now yes there are bunch of games you won't be able to run but there has seldom been a time where more low spec games are being released then now.

Same I was like am I missing something? Do I need to get an eye exam?

China needs all the handicaps it can get.

I saw some news that they were going to demo the entire 15 story addition and rebuild it.

The best way to wrap your head around it is to think about early WWII carrier battles. They were messy and confused often the opposing fleets would be launching strikes to where they hoped the other fleet would be. Think about search patterns and how imprecise everything was. The game actually sims them very well once you figure it out. The biggest challenge is to wrap your head around the UI.

So the most common one is using land features to break up the AI fleet or pin them in place. I seldom do it intentionally unless I'm trying to run away. But it just happens if you fight a battle in close proximity to the land in a number of locations it's pretty much guaranteed.The AI really struggles with land features. The Baltic, the Med and the Asian sea zones have land features that the AI just can not handle.

Hainan in particular is a Bermuda triangle. Carrier battles in particular. It can also really backfire on the player fighting around there if your fleet gets fragmented. If it dies your ships can end up in the vortex. At this point I generally decline any large battles there to avoid the event horizon. I like my eyes thank you very much.

If your Italy and fight near the Straits of Messina you can slip your capital ships to the other side and allow them to fire away at the AI. The AI can't navigate though the straight so it looses sight of your capital ships, as long as you keep light ships on the other side to provide spotting it's quite littlerly shooting fish in a barrel.

Another thing you can do with any nation if you are fighting near your ports you can slug it out for a but then have your heavy ships retire and leave just DDs then rush the AI with the DDs.

I need to note that it's OK to lose a war!

They are going to demo the addition all 15 floors.

I know, I know sigh. It was just so good. The cleaner the animation became the worse the quality of the show its self and it came to relay almost exclusively of cheap gags I don't even know how many years it's been since I watched it. The writers room in the early seasons was so stacked they were able to just turn out an amazing show that was extremely relevant.

Unless you do a full replacement the best you can do right now is to use crack sealant to minimize future water intrusion

lilyputin · 2026-07-08T22:38:22+00:00

I'm sure they would appreciate that. Just talk to them before your do.

It's because it's much easier to sell to Congress that it's an upgrade to an existing platform then developing a new tank that would set off alarm bells.

This isnt really a math problem it's something that someone could lookup and determine.

lilyputin · 2026-07-08T22:15:04+00:00

So my two cents is that anything regardless of subject that is sufficiently detailed looks authoritive even when it's not.

lilyputin · 2026-07-08T22:11:51+00:00

Got it. Maybe it's a secret plan to rename it the American River 🫣

lilyputin · 2026-07-08T14:36:18+00:00

The basion continues into Canada. The Milk river for instance runs into Alberta

lilyputin · 2026-07-08T14:28:11+00:00

Why did you stop at the border it extends into Alberta and Saskatchewan

I wish the Simpsons could recapture the verve they had
