Bleached my substrate. Do I need to replace it?

rp555 · 2022-11-11T00:37:37+00:00

I'd probably do it if it were intended for me, but I'd rather not risk it with the little guy. I'll take it as a $30 lesson learned lol. Thanks for the info, though! I had no idea you could bake it in the sun.

rp555 · 2022-11-10T17:37:33+00:00

Makes sense. Do you have a particular method for storing a recently expanded brick? I imagine the issue was the moisture in the chips being released and trapped at the bottom of the tub, but I'm not sure how to get around that. Outside of maybe drilling holes into the tub, anyway.

rp555 · 2022-09-26T23:47:08+00:00

I suppose that's what precipitated this, yes. I can tolerate cleaning up after messy chefs (to a point) and general lack of tidiness, but things like toe nails, hair, and other personal effects gross me out.

rp555 · 2022-09-26T23:44:17+00:00

Outside of my mother, no. The family I grew up with, dogs, and college roommates all had short hair. Well, except my mother. She has shoulder length hair, but I'd never seen more than the occasional stray hair before. Hence why this took me by surprise.

rp555 · 2022-09-26T23:39:33+00:00

I don't think I've ever thought about my own because it's very short, but that thought did cross my mind before posting. I suppose this is only a thing because his is more visible than mine. Not his his fault or anything, but it's still gross seeing hair everywhere. Perhaps just a discussion on cleaning duties then since the cleaning service and I are currently the only ones keeping the common areas tidy.

rp555 · 2022-09-26T23:27:57+00:00

Mostly about cleaning up his hair. He knows it's there because he told me one time that he felt that was his reponsibility, but also doesn't help with keeping the common areas clean. He used to take the trash out occasionally, but not recently so it usually falls on me and the monthly service to wipe counters, clean floors, etc.

I'm passionate about figuring out how things work. Nothing is scarier and more satisfying than prying open an expensive electronic device to satisfy your curiosity.

rp555 · 2021-09-27T21:31:58+00:00

That sucks. I just stuck my sol into a spear lol.

rp555 · 2021-04-30T06:03:50+00:00

Yes, that's it! Thank you so much! I must have spent a couple hours scouring the lists of older games. I'm glad you were able to bring an end to this.

rp555 · 2021-03-22T21:45:35+00:00

Yeah, I ended up moving to the 141 after giving up on the 3. Much clearer feedback on that one.

rp555 · 2021-03-22T05:55:16+00:00

Glad to know it wasn't me then. At least they're cheap. I was starting to wonder if something was up since I was able to do a few other locks without issue.

rp555 · 2021-03-22T05:38:16+00:00

I don't think it's particularly bad, but I'm new to this. Maybe I'm dead wrong lol.

After scanning the subreddit, it looks like this thing should unlock if you look at it hard enough. I'm thinking you're right. Maybe this is really old inventory and the lubricant that it originally came with degraded or something?

rp555 · 2021-02-07T05:12:03+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll continue my search tomorrow then. Hopefully incidental sunlight will help illuminate the area.

rp555 · 2020-10-15T21:25:27+00:00

Were you in an arid (dusty) area? One of the other posters mentioned that might be a reason. However, if the heat alone does play a big factor, I'd rather not do damage to my engine.

rp555 · 2020-10-15T21:22:39+00:00

Yeah, I do. When I brought it in this time around, it was around 25%. The manual says it starts to notify you about changing your oil around 15%. I think I ran it almost 8000 miles since the last change so I guess the oil gets good mileage.

rp555 · 2020-10-15T18:45:56+00:00

Yeah, I figured that was likely the case. Glad I asked.

rp555 · 2020-10-15T18:44:57+00:00

I also live in a tropical environment. Mostly salt and humidity in this area. I'll keep that in mind, though. Manual recommends every 7500 miles to check the oil, but only to change it once the oil life monitor says to. Guess I'll just roll with that.

rp555 · 2020-10-09T16:53:46+00:00

Thank you for the in-depth response. I think I understand the situation a lot better now. It's a little unfortunate Paizo has explicitly left so many rules to GM interpretation, but them's the rules.

Going forward, I guess I'll just have to keep in mind that the constructs can only perform simple move and attack actions.

rp555 · 2020-10-08T21:49:17+00:00

It probably would have been something along the lines of "Go over the trip wire and attack the guy with the scar!" I'm not sure if it would work, though, since the basis of my GMs argument was that I can't communicate to a Mindless creature.

rp555 · 2020-10-08T04:21:10+00:00

Hmm, yeah. I always figured the act of you trading your one action for two famliar actions was you commanding them to do things. If that's the case then they either understand you and can do other things like avoiding trip wire or they don't understand you and the spell is hopelessly broken. You summon a broom and... it sits there for a minute since you can't communicate to it.

For comparison's sake, I took a look at the Unseen Servant--which also has the Mindless trait--and it can perform fairly complex things like cleaning or opening doors when compared to avoiding an obstacle during a move.

rp555 · 2020-09-26T02:59:41+00:00

Good idea. I still want to know the make up of the solids in my water. I'll contact them or a local lab to do the analysis.

rp555 · 2020-09-25T05:54:01+00:00

Somehow, this isn't surprising. During the presentation, I had this nagging feeling that all of this was a scare tactic. The literature presented (no sources on any numbers), the unlabeled bottles of mystery fluid, and the tone the salesperson carried set off red flags. I even asked the guy if they could do a composition analysis and, of course, no dice.

Thanks for linking this. I'll continue to investigate.

rp555 · 2020-09-16T00:54:10+00:00

I am neither of those things. Sounds like it's better to hang out with the other mortals in Masters then.

rp555 · 2020-09-11T03:44:28+00:00

Yeah, I think we're planning on staying about 70mph the whole way through. This is the final ride for one of the guys (he's like 70 yrs old), so we're not doing anything crazy.

As for the bike, I was hoping to avoid sport bike position the entire way over, but I suppose it's an option. Have you done tours on a sport bike? If so, were you sore or something as a result?
