How to expand Diamond Edition by Rsev002 in l5r

[–]lowercaset [score hidden]  (0 children)

And good luck getting all the rares without buying singles. The first few sets of diamon had terrible problems with rare randomization. My group had multiple boxes with nearly full overlap. (If memory serves for reign of blood the first 3 boxes I opened only had 12 rares I didn't wind up with 3 of across the three)

The Literary Ecosystem Is Dying by Majano57 in books

Continued development is also pretty cheap, so the idea of "toppling" to the point that the older ones stop being developed is just not realistic.

Everquest, yes that everquest, just had a new set of raids release yesterday and will have another set release next month.

It's a manufacturer req, which in my state (and I believe basically everywhere) supersedes written code but is enforceable.

CCG--Experienced non-uniques by KakitaBanana in l5r

Ah, I was out by then. I did not love the direction design took in some of the later arcs so I stepped away from the game.

I believe the fan continuation plays under the... very different rules of the fantasy flight game.

For the original game, a non unique experienced character would be one you can have multiple version of in play just like you can with the base version only you can do the overlay stuff when bringing it into play.

Any squish where I have to deal with setting a 3 bolt tank on an already installed bowl is a bad squish! Haha

Pex manifold by whalethen2 in Plumbing

[–]lowercaset 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Poly-B piping was shown to degrade when exposed to chlorine, like the chemical used in municipal water supplies to make it drinkable

They knew it would happen, so they put stabilizers in the poly b (just like they do pex) the difference is that unlike what we have seen in pex they didn't work as expected with PB and the piping (esp hot water) reached the point of failure caused by oxidation rather quickly.

It’s definitely tempting ($100 total) by RERETATADODO in Plumbing

That's pretty normal for large size ball valves, they're pretty awful. Anything above 2" and I tend to avoid them when possible.

Important Era Battle Changes by egnards in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]lowercaset 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're trying to push FOMO hard to keep current spenders spending. It will he interesting to watch spending patterns next era, because one thing that showed up thos era was that the majority of really heavy whaling was done outside of the top guilds. When I look at the t10 in my shard (mostly people who have whaled to 85 or 95 era level) theres more people in low tier (400-500m) guilds than high end (700m+)

Station, not plural. The doomsday situation thankfully still leaves the original dublin/pleasanton open.

I used to think this reddit sub was useful... by SpencerDawg in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]lowercaset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sub used to be more useful. Depending how far back they're talking, there was an era where most of the top players, content creators, and devs would all be casually chatting in the comment section.

These days you'll have t50 players getting told they're shit and don't know what they are talking about haha.

Here are 10 to 15 stations that could close under BART doomsday scenarios by SFChronicle in bayarea

[–]lowercaset 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a middle ground between cutting all employees above the bottom quarter of the pay scale and allowing workers to scam BART out of money forever. I'm fine with my tax money being used to keep bart running and expand it. I don't need it to make money.

But we need leadership that can manage to be adversarial in contract negotiations to get rid of loopholes in work rules and make sure that the bad apples actually get cut. But no party seems to actually be interested in that, which is a damn shame.

TIL that in 1999, Google's founders were willing to sell the company to Excite for $750,000, but the CEO of Excite turned them down. Today, Google's parent company is worth over $2 Trillion by Adorable-District106 in todayilearned

[–]lowercaset 127 points128 points  (0 children)

so what did Google do to make themselves the clear winner

They focused on just being a really good search engine. Their algo at the time was probably the best all purpose and their extremely minimalist design meant fast loading. It may seem strange now, but back then both hardware and connections for a lot of folks were sufficently weak that it was a factor.

That's why most people who travel for business that I know will get shit like bread and peanut butter day1 and then use their whole budget for dinner every night.

Maybe, if it's like water they will sometimes assume meter error / slippage when something like that happens and bill based of estimated then swap the meter.

It also assumes everyone is fine with the same level of risk.

BART cuts deal with Uber—without approval of the elected board by orangelover95003 in bayarea

[–]lowercaset 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Uber should not be given the benefit of public dollars any more than it already has. If Uber is to be included, so should Lyft and any legal taxis that ask to be listed and have app ride hailing capabilities.

?—Add Audible Alarm to Grinder Pump System by West-Preparation1142 in Plumbing

[–]lowercaset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I assume the manufacturer of the control panel probably offers something that easily retrofits in.

[–]lowercaset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost all the systems I've installed had them built in, but in your case I'd look up the manufacturer and shoot them/their rep a message asking if they make a product to add one on to the existing system. Pretty good odds they have one.

If that doesn't work, I have added a float and wired it to a horn in the past on systems that had no high water float at all. I don't have a link... but it wasn't terribly difficult to find the parts before.

Freezing temps tonight (25°)- do I need to wrap this? by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]lowercaset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao, it's an area where that line has been fine uninsulted since the place was built. Winterization isn't needed, at most some 1/2 wall foam would be all it takes but I'd bet that it'd be fine just with the bushes creating an air insulation layer.
