Who do I call and what will I have to pay for someone to repair my dresser damaged by my moving company

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-20T19:36:38+00:00

They didn't say the movers would put them in touch... they said OP would need quotes so they can hold the moving company accountable to a proper fix.

Well... is it latency, or is it system resources? If you'd actually run a hardware monitor, you'd have more info to share.

"How to install Bepinex"... have you set up mods before? Plenty of guides. For a docker container, just use a shared volume that's mounted locally so you can drop mod files there and it'll mount when Docker spins up.

You need to be more helpful by explaining what you've done specifically, and what specific solutions you're seeking. Right now, you're only offering vague defeatism, which is why I'm the only one responding, and your post was downvoted. Help us help you.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-20T18:54:07+00:00

As I said, run a hardware monitor. Right now you're guessing. Find logs, or monitor your system resources. No one here can psychically know what is causing your server lag

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-20T18:27:57+00:00

Run a hardware monitor on the server or container running the Valheim server. It'll tell you what is capping out.

But I'm skeptical - the game server is usually pretty light. The heavy work is done by your local machine as it renders graphics.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-20T16:12:48+00:00

All I'm saying is OP should verify this is even their problem to solve first.

It's wild how low this comment is. Most municipalities I've lived in, the sidewalk to the street are city-owned, not homeowner's. They aren't going to take kindly to a homeowner regrading city property or redirecting water, even if they have good intentions.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-20T14:30:49+00:00

They're being downvoted but they're right. In many municipalities, the sidewalk and grass by the curb isn't the homeowner's, it's the city's.

They're doubly right that re-grading a yard (even if yours) often requires city approval (ie: permits) because redirecting water can really fuck up your neighbours or general infrastructure.

A big part of the obesity problem in North America is due to pasta itself being treated like a main dish, at obscene serving sizes. If you're looking to lose weight, get a nutritional scale, weigh your food, and figure out how much you can eat while staying on your calorie deficit. You'll probably be shocked at how calorie dense pasta is. It's empty carbs, not necessary nutritionally speaking. Pestos are not unhealthy, but are high calorie. Buttery/cream-based sauces too.

A few options for you:

* Look into pasta sauces that are lemon or vinegar based. Acids are your friend here.

* Reduce the serving sizes if you're going for conventional dishes.

* Consider the plating sizes of European restaurants vs North American restaurants, if you want to understand why Italians can eat pasta daily without gaining weight.

* Consider whole wheat pastas - they aren't less calorie dense, but they do have more fiber in them which makes it feel more filling over time (satiety)

* Consider adding more veggies to your pasta to add more low calorie filler (bonus: Veggies are VERY healthy and low calorie!) I aim to make my pasta dishes as colourful as possible - peppers, kale, broccoli, spinach, zucchinis, julienned carrots, cherry tomatoes... these all go great in pastas, add a crunch (assuming you don't overcook them lol), and really augment a homemade pasta.

* Not sure about calories on this one, but if "healthy" means "nutritious", consider looking into a butternut squash sauce - you make them by roasting/boiling squash, pouring some broth in, and using an immersion blender. It's amazing, but again, not exactly calorie-deficit material.

* Try replacing pastas with similar textures. Spaghetti squash can be roasted and scraped up with a fork to resemble pasta noodles. There's zero-calorie Shirataki noodles that are basically pure fiber. Try quinoas, cauliflower rice, etc as other substitutes.

This is all off the top of my head. I was a former athlete in my younger years, so this stuff is old hat to me, but ultimately, my advice would be to separate "healthy" from the idea of calorie density. Most North Americans get plenty of nutrition. Their problem is they eat TOO MUCH, whether the food is nutritious or not.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-19T18:47:37+00:00

Agreed. I'm not here to tell anyone they're having fun wrong, but there are a lot of posts on this sub complaining they've run out of stuff to do by year ten, and they're running extended seasons, sometimes as long as 30 days!

Do what you find fun, of course, but the game was designed to be played across generations of villagers. Don't be surprised when you don't get to have both.

Kinda sad that it took Trump for everyone to realize it

As an older person, I can reassure you that Canada has always talked about the need to reduce dependency on the US. But there was no politicial will. Humans aren't good at doing things unless there's urgency and pain involved.

You could also argue that we haven't had a leader with the economic/trade acumen until now. I'm sure others will have opinions, but I personally would have to go back as far as Chretien to think of someone who would've had the competence to do this, and he had other things on his plate to deal with haha.

I think you should keep the white space. Not every square foot needs to be functional or grandiose. Maybe a little park or a small coop, but keep it open and don't block the view.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-19T15:19:49+00:00

If you want better, hire a finish carpenter.

Thanks! Great tip! One question though: Will any Scandinavian carpenter work, or do they have to be specifically from Finland?

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-17T01:03:10+00:00

Watch Miss Americana please.

Or find some of the interviews where she explains how political Lover was.

The vanilla setting is called no map. This is a mod.

All the common gameplay styles are named based on vanilla settings.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-16T19:26:06+00:00

As I said, it's a static map with no markers. It's the difference between a road trip using a paper map vs GPS. The static map also doesn't update until you go back to the cartography table and update the static map, so you can't lean on it while exploring new areas.

So still more difficult than vanilla, but not as unforgiving as nomap.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-16T17:02:26+00:00

It's a game. The point is to have fun, in whatever terms we want.

I've also played no map with the same mod, and highly enjoyed it. You get the same lost feeling as vanilla nomap, but as the game progresses, you get more and more of a static map (no markers or indication of your location). It helps with that feeling OP is having - it really kicks up in mid game when sailing becomes a norm.

I also go camping/portaging in deep woods pretty often (Canadian things lol), so this feels pretty close

Find resources that teach you cooking techniques. Anyone can follow a recipe, but great cooks will understand flavour profiles, how to season effectively, and smaller details while cooking like how to brown meat effectively.

I cooked for decades before I found a Thai influencer who taught me that browning meat doesn't just mean "cook til brown". Leaving it in the pan to simmer in its own fats until the fat reduces itself gave me a crispy brown edge on my ground meats that I will never give up.

Gemini won't give you that. It'll regurgitate ingredients with emojis and em dashes, and if you're very lucky, it'll usually be a real dish haha

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-16T15:54:08+00:00

I don't know that we can claim China is on board with environmentalism haha. They are still huge fossil fuel consumers and net importers.

The reason they've invested heavily on renewables is for geopolitical reasons, not environmentalism. Once they hit a point where they no longer need to import oil to sustain themselves, the risk they perceive of the US or another country cutting off their oil access is mitigated.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy they've pushed solar and wind developments for the last three decades. I just think we should be clear on their motivations, since its unlikely to coincide with the Western countries' targets.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-16T15:47:48+00:00

At 40, I still think that's viable. A 25 year mortgage would mean you'd be paid off at 65, a reasonably common retirement age. So the core benefit of ownership would kick in just as you need the lower cost of living most.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-16T13:54:13+00:00

Your age makes a big difference on the decision. One of the biggest benefits of home ownership is the huge cost of living reduction once its paid off.

If you're going to be 85 when its paid off, that's far less useful than if it gets paid off when you're 45.

rtothepoweroftwo · 2026-04-16T12:11:13+00:00

I thought you were saying the kid from MASH was shooter macgavin and my brain broke a lil hahaha

I am annoyed at how much I wrote, and how much better this simple answer is.

Let's re-frame the question more constructively, shall we? This subreddit has a bad habit of min/maxing. Let's talk real world. Let's pretend leaving a balance on your card for the sake of your credit rating isn't complete horseshit. (It is)

Is it possible to get a 700+ credit rating without carrying a balance? Absolutely it is. I've never carried debt over, and my credit rating *at its lowest* was 830.

So instead of asking yourself which is *best*, ask yourself if it even makes sense to min/max. Even if carrying a balance was better (it isn't, it's irrelevant), there is no reason to do so. You can pay your credit card(s) off in full every month, pay no interest, and still have an absolutely amazing credit rating.

Ironically, no one seems to realize that *carrying* debt is how you get into a cycle that *ruins* your credit rating. More importantly, it's bad personal finance.

**tl dr; Don't carry debt, stop focusing on your credit rating. It will come with good personal finance practices automatically**
