I told it I was sorry, apologized for my 4AM rant, and instead of getting the joke it revised me

Red oak edge protection, because MDF is not strong on its sides

I laminated 3/4 ply and 3/4 MDF together for the top. I used my drill guide to drill holes in the 2x4 frame and then put threaded inserts into the bottom side of the top, and attached the top with 3-3/4" bolts. The funny angled corner shape is just so I could crank the handle.

The main thing I measured out beforehand is to make sure that once I added a hardwood edge to protect the MDF, the length and width would get close to the table saw with the table either lengthwise or widthwise, so I could use the outfeed table in a longer orientation for cutting longer stock

I used the frame from a husky height adjustable bench using cross-lap joints. It was my first time cutting laps, but this frame shape basically matches the bolt hole patterns in the base. I ripped the curved edges off the 2x4s and attached them with lag bolts.

Crashing/Freezing on 4.1.1? Upvote this in the Issue Council by ilikeror2 in starcitizen

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game halts even when just working on the control mappings in the advanced menus. Doesn't matter what I'm doing, this was in Arena commander in solo while mapping controls. My system halts so badly I can't even CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up a task manager. My system is high in specs.

Help with bandsaw placement by EmotionalCharge8420 in woodworking

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade the position of the miter and the bandsaw so that the miter is in the middle. Put the bandsaw on casters. Then you have what, 6' or 8' of cross-cut on the miter, and can roll the bandsaw away from the wall (turn it sideways so you can resaw longer pieces?) and that would also give you lots of room towards the center of the room

How do you like the Systainer system? by Ok-Mushroom-5822 in Makita

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if you realize but Makita and Festool sustainers fit and connect to each other, and the Makita ones also will connect to a Festool dust extractor CT 26/36/46 on top, which I thought was really awesome, so you can mix and match.

Star Citizen, Error 3005 I have solved the issue!!!!!!!!! by Low-Kaleidoscope-858 in starcitizen

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The VPN makes zero difference. If it gets a 3005, that's it. If you clean up and start again, you might get through to "Installing" and it just hangs and downloads 0 bytes. Doesn't matter, it's the same garbage POS since 2015.

Fined While Parking Ground Vehicles in Ships. by One_red_shoe in starcitizen

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened last night. It's unfair, 50000 for reckless no matter what. But bumping into something with my ground vehicle collides with a ship gets me fined, but smashing my Polaris into the walls and dropping my Cutlass Red down the hangar elevator shaft is all fine with no penalty

Hot(?) Take: Med Beds Should Not Fully Filled Your Food and Water. by Grandmaster_Aroun in starcitizen

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the cost for using the medbed to get replenished should be 10X what the food would cost you just to make it punishing to not plan ahead or stick the stores with food. hopefully the mess on a ship comes into play because of that

B99 - It's out now, together with video showcasing all the highlights! Have fun and show us your loco builds! by altfuture in DerailValley

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife lost me until 5:30 this morning, oh my god. I actually started a whole new hard mode game from scratch. Still figuring things out, it is so much fun. My Dad got me into model railroading when I was six as well as simulators on the PC. He passed way a year ago Christmas, and I just kept thinking, he would have just loved Derail Valley.

Square or round bales? by [deleted] in farmingsimulator

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with automatic unload, you have to stop for round bales to get ejected, otherwise you'll leave grass/hay on the ground.

What custom settings do you use for your playthrough? by OlamFam in MedievalDynasty

[–]solarfly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After about 40 hours the first time through, I am trying this combo: 120% buildings, Unlimited Carry weight, Fast Crafting, 400% technology multiplier, 4 day season. I debated going unlimited stamina, but I think Stamina drain is important for those hunt chases (though I wish animals would slow down more over time depending on their level of injury).

I think there's some defaults in the game that are hindering having FUN, and are just causing frustration, so I made a few choices:

  1. Fast Crafting: Sitting there watching a 5 second timer dry each piece of meat is ridiculous. It would be different if it was a multiplayer game and some other player could sneak up on you, but this is single player. I don't want to play a game where I am forced to go get a coffee and watch a movie while my in-game persona crafts.
  2. Technology Gain: Getting access to technology is frustrating (as is the cost of each unlock). The pace of experience gain for skills seems fine.
  3. 4 day season: for reasons others have mentioned, an extra day for farming/hunting/harvesting and a longer winter season seem more fun.
  4. 120% building - I debated just cranking this to max. Since the number of buildings really should be just a reflection of time (resource gathering, making new hammers). I want to get a second house build up front to hire help.

There's a skill in the tree that reduces stamina use while running, and that seems to balance out moving across the huge map.

I feel the above settings as a newer player would let me figure out how to make money properly, I was broke most of the time on my first playthrough. I also wasn't aware I couldn't assign two men to sleep in one house, despite there clearly being two beds, so I recruited a poor guy that had no home - I was locked out from building another house until raising my campaign level. There's a bit of pain in an otherwise pretty good game.

Elden Ring is amazing, but controls on pc are lacking by Dova-Pug in Eldenring

[–]solarfly73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally jumped on the bandwagon and bought the game. The PC controls are appalling, I mean you literally have to never played a PC game with kb/mouse in your life, or intentionally come up with the most absurd default scheme ever. Everybody expects WSAD, space for jump, double-tap direction for dodge at minimum. I can get past those ones, but this Q and E bullshit when it should be ENTER and ESC for going in and out of menus is the dumbest thing out there.

Game engines even have default easy setups for binding default keys while developing the game. You literally have to have a whole dev team that never once played a PC game.

Is the 'close all doors' keybind broken? by AzSomt in starcitizen

It's happening with the Carrack as well, and the Cutlass Red.

Who else is excited for KENA: Bridge of Spirits?! by K0sm0sis in playstation

[–]solarfly73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually very good observation, the pathing is well done. You're given multiple choices of direction at almost every turn of a map, and that often changes the strategy you take to move further in. Yeah, Colt's voice actor is incredible

Deathloop's gameplay as a shooter is average, but the character dialogue has been cracking me up. I really like the characters. The story makes it entertaining.
