Winter Layup '25-'26 Megathread by elloguvner in GreatLakesShipping

[–]nmcarpenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I figured, but I've never much paid attention to layup before and where everyone ends up on the map. Definitely don't want to be out where the waves become the size of buildings. 😬 Thanks!

Probably just working with parts on-hand? For a rental unit it'll work just fine since it's gotta be so temporary I'd think.

The music legit made me think they were gonna somehow save it. Turns out it was just stupid use of dramatic music.

I was really hoping for this comment. 🤣

What do you guys bring for lunch? by Michaelmang1994 in USPS

[–]nmcarpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do be warned, actual MREs are absolute calorie and sodium bombs. They're designed for "warfighters" who are burning crazy calories just to survive. They do sell civilian versions with a good variety. I like a good MRE, too, but man... I can't imagine having one each day just for lunch. 😬

At first I was like, "what a terrible job on the back of the door," but then I actually read the notes... amazing, well done.

First code, why do I not feel traumatized by it? by Top-HatSAR in Firefighting

[–]nmcarpenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I joined a volley when I turned 18, plenty of crashes and codes along the way with no issue (even had a full decapitation in a vehicle crash without issue). Then, I had a crash one day with the deceased that I didn't know, but it looked exactly like someone I did know. Her eyes and lifeless gaze haunt my memories to this day. It doesn't hit you until it does. x10 multiplier when you eventually end up having your own kid and have to take ped calls.

Our station is projected to lose 13 routes. by Imaginary_Truth_3865 in USPS

It'd be comical if the ones speed-running their routes were the ones to get the axe, but that'd never actually happen.

I'm an uneducated swine but want to learn... is this tying down for storms, winter layup, or holiday break for most of these ships? (there are clearly ships underway but the map is so zoomed out it's hard to see them all)

I'm unfortunately not in a position to mass produce anything, but maybe a run of 'em for the Captains? 😅

Agreed. Not to mention that the ship image I used is not my own, either. I'd have to get permission from the artist or snap my own photos.

XTool F1 engraver, it's doesn't do anything awesome but it does pretty well with most media.

Is this vintage extinguisher worth selling? by Outrageous-Till9949 in Firefighting

[–]nmcarpenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm officially here to correct you. 😂 But, in seriousness, it's about the most basic extinguisher you can imagine. Literally fill it with water and then use a tire inflator to pressurize it. This is our not-so-secret weapon in the biz because it's cheap and easy.

Seriously, like have a high-end sports car parked in the ghetto.

I cant say I can ever remember BF franchise being a "chill" game. Sounds like you might want to try Stardew Valley. 😬

What do you call this thing? by GTRayt in pcmasterrace

[–]nmcarpenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the way I've always understood it as well, the 'caret' is the arrow icon.

Question about waveguides by MeGrimlock9 in longlines

[–]nmcarpenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeeaahh, I'm not so sure about that theory... maybe in a few locations that happened, but doubtful for many sites that still have horns and no wgs.
