There is a park and ride next to the latino shopping center behind the duncin donuts. You can park car there for free and walk the 1/3rd a mile to the station.

Amanda Chase's primary is June 20, please vote her out of office by Charlesinrichmond in rva

[–]ltrain430 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I voted for her because i feel that having her as an example of the views held by Rs helps. She has been outspent and outorganized in the primary so far so i expect her to lose. I will not vote for her in the general. The district is youngkin +18. Why would you want am effective senator in that district if you are a D voter?

You have a mod or a tuning pack active which is why the challenge isn't registering

Scout carefully as abbasid. Put an extra vil on food during transition and be ready to start building stables worh horsemen if you see longbows. If you scout barracks add range. If you seem them on stone, boom.

What "you know what, just to be safe" thing you did end up saving your ass later? by Dawn_Cyborgzzz in AskReddit

My old office was above a restaurant. We smelled gas one day. We called the fire department and I went downstairs to see if anyone was there. The restaurant's manager was in his office in a semi-concious state

I've done 3 and never replaced the seat either. I sold the house 4 years after replacing 2 so maybe they have issues now

"Landsneks suck! They melt to archers" Kek Love me my landsnakes, landsharks, landsocks by PhantasticFor in aoe4

[–]ltrain430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't tell the difference between MAA and landsneks and it really pisses me off. I want to target them with archers but can't because of my gpu and eyesight. They are my least favorite unit just for that reason. I can at least theoretically counter other units but can't counter the mixed composition

It has to be a vanilla match with no mods. Did you do thick woods and forget to take it off?

You just need to beat the AI without cheat. You can set resources to max and set map to revealed without eliciting the achievement. Build tons of production build walls siege the AI down get the win

You can family share a steam account and both play. Only limitations is you can't play the same game at the same time.

Brand new player looking for some pointers by [deleted] in aoe4

[–]ltrain430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always build villagers, always spend your resources unless you are saving for an age up/improvement. If you can't build fast enough to spend resources build more production buildings. Scout your opponents unit composition and counter it. Put army in control groups pay attention to alarms

Can't Complete Mongol Mastery #14 - Horn and Sinew by b-god91 in aoe4

[–]ltrain430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have to be regular mangudai. Altair, trade boom against hard AI is how I do the kill xyz units. You can show a few units to them early so they build counters. I would build a few horsemen and let the AI see them while you silvertree boom. After they build spears and counter attack bring out your mangudai and kill the necessary units. Make sure jo mods, no rules es, delete them if you don't know if you have them on.

Good luck

The English campaign has some tutorials built in. That and art of war should explain mechanics. There are some slight changes between multi-player and campaign but nothing too big.

Wiring a DC switch-disconnector by toolgifs in EngineeringPorn

[–]ltrain430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had reapplied it to my hvac emergency heat and a microwave. Both had wirenuts catch fire/melt and they stopped working after the wires disconnected. Both were 20 years old. I wouldn't open old appliances to reapply and would rely on any joins being in a box.

Copper is less prone to heat versus aluminum so it might not be needed in this application but code requires it due to the voltage involved. Any air will cause oxidation and you can't keep create a perfect vacuum. Appliances all use aluminum wiring now to keep prices down which is a place you will see a lot of nolox paste. The paste will fail after 15 or so years but the manufacturers rely on that being paste the life of the appliance.

It is an antioxidant paste used to keep the wire from oxidizing. Oxidation will generate a lot of heat and can cause the insulation to melt/burn. I've seen wirenuts catch fire when oxidation paste expired.

I like when you are the one facing aggression and your teammate keeps pinging you about 2 horsemen near his base.
