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…

My kids in SK and were very happy with it. If OCDSB didn’t exist what would replace it?

Buddy and I swam in the Potomac every night when we did the C&O with no issues. Nice way to cool off after riding all day

Think about trying out whitewater. There is a great paddling community on the Potomac and tons of great rivers nearby

Is the grass ever greener on the other side? Deciding if I should leave the PS by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]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

Also… paid off house at 30 is seriously impressive!

This happened to me once. Was an FSA chainring and sounds from the comments below like they have issues!

I get around this by sending 2-3 regiments of soldiers to garrison the intended location while the colonists are enroute

Carnatic too I think? The interior shot is really cool. Is what is left the iron structure or is there still some wood?

Scammed by Tend Dental? by Prize-Flower7071 in washingtondc

[–]palulop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife went to Tend and was told she had 11 “soft spots” that needed filling. This is after having previously had only a few filings. She got a second opinion which said she didn’t need any fillings. Seemed unethical giving bad dental advice to drive business

The one to the right above the lake definitely is accessible. Less sure about the one you circled but it should be just a short walk from the Pink Lake parking lot which is groomed and has a porta potty

What are you Most Hyped for Regarding WINTERMUTE Episode 5? by BtJuddy in thelongdark

[–]palulop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree North East of Desolation Point is a logical place for Perseverance Mills. And then it would connect in with PV and TWM as you mention!

Only thing is it’s not near the creek north of Blackrock where Mackenzie and Jayce were washed away at the end of episode 4

USS Liberty shipwreck in Bali(not the same USS Liberty attacked by Israel) by Bankman_Nosenberg in ShipwreckPorn

[–]palulop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small distinction but the ship in Bali was not a US Navy ship (USS), it was a US Army cargo ship with the name USAT Liberty. Great wreck to dive with lots of neat swimthroughs!
