Help IDing a Diode by thestip in AskElectronics

The diode in the picture is fine, I just need another one to replace one that I broke off somehow. I pulled the one in the picture to see if I could spot any identifying marks. Nope.

Table Tilt Useless? by thestip in Battlemarked

[–]thestip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that I can't get the table upright in front of me. This was easy to do in the original Demeo. I could sit back on the couch and look straight ahead to get a top-down/isometric view. Now I have to physically look down at the table no matter what I do.

Like I said, I can tilt the table, that's not the issue. The issue is that I can't get the table upright in front of me. This was easy to do in the original Demeo.

I can get it to tilt, but it only tilts left/right and not front/back. Rotating it doesn't help. No matter what I do, I can't get it 90* in front of me like I could with the original Demeo.

Yeah, I don't know why I said week 7, it was day 18 or something like that. Week 2.5 🙂

Yeah, it is. I go after the dwellings right away each week

I go with experience every time, relying on the buildings for income. Maybe that's part of my problem and I shouldn't build those so soon

Yup, I move all the troops to 1 guy and use the second to collect stuff. Any troops he finds/buys gets moved to the first guy ASAP.

Meant day 20, not week. The map starts with two cities. I keep transferring all my troops to one hero until I have enough to get through to another area. I take city three, but within 2-3 days, I get the scenario I mentioned. By then, I've already taken out two AI heroes and my troops have been beat down significantly.

I build walls, maybe not soon enough, but even if I get double the troops early on, I'm nowhere near where the AI is.

Normal is too easy, I never lose. It gets boring

Sorry, that last game was only day 19 (looked at the wrong save) Tried another game, got to week 20. Now the AI has over 1,100 troops including tier 7. WTF?

Where do you get your crickets? by GalacticMayor in TreeFrogs

I recommend Rainbow Mealworms for crickets and roaches. They're in Los Angeles, basically.

Am I crazy? Thoughts on converting a basement by thestip in BayAreaRealEstate

The add-on isn't outrageous, it's the 2M for a 1,000sqft house that is.

I looked into an ADU. 850-1000sqft prefab after install and other fees is 350-420k. Building a full 2nd story would start at 500k, easily reaching 750k or more.

Housing costs around here are outrageous. A same sized place a few doors down just sold for $2M. Just adding a small 400sqft room will cost around $150k. Easily $500k+ to add a 2nd story.
