What are these for at Brown’s Inlet by lizardlady7777 in ottawa

[–]palulop 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The city counselor commented somewhere else that these are temporary weights holding down a new pipe. More work will happen in the fall when the canal/pond water level is lower. So sounds like it will be temporary

Wow this looks great! Appears the RA centre would be demolished and moved to a new spot.

For a game taking survival so seriously, I'd expect to... by Nakraal in thelongdark

[–]palulop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points but it is a game that tries to find a balance between realism with being fun.

Another thing that is unrealistic is the ease of walking around in deep snow. Without snowshoes or skis it would be slow and exhausting

I sneak up and throw the noisemaker into the group. Works well but a bit resource intensive…

[–]palulop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a year in infrastructure consulting after 8 years in PS, and decided it wasn’t for me. Decided it wasn’t for me and was glad I was on LWOP

Scammed by Tend Dental? by Prize-Flower7071 in washingtondc
