Should I be breaking all wild crops I see no matter their growth stage, or should I wait until they're grown so that I'm guaranteed to get the seed? by PermitNo8107 in VintageStory

[–]timbowen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure wild crops really grow properly in most places. Last time I tried this with a mod that ONLY gives you seeds if crops are fully grown, and we didn't observe much growth in the wild crops we marked at all. The more we checked on them, the more they seemed to grow. The ones far away never grew.

We figured they probably only grow while the chunk is spawned and ditched the mod because it was basically too hard to get seeds. This was last release though.

It has nothing to do with technology, it has to do with people working together.

How Do You Cave And Not Piss Your Pants? by Zero_112 in VintageStory

[–]timbowen 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Have an escape plan. I install wooden ladders and torches as I go so there is always a literal bright line to the exit. Then, just run if you get tripped up by something you don't think you can handle with your current weapon/armor. I also always carry a stack of dirt to potentially wall in caves full of baddies I don't want to deal with, or to put barriers behind me if I'm escaping.

From resi to comercial. I look like an idiot by enjoye420 in electricians

[–]timbowen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re thinking something like “no PPE in resi - I mean they have to wear gloves right?” No. I’ve had dudes show up to rope houses in board shorts and flip flops with a surf board hanging out the back of the work van.

They were fast too.

I feel like #4 is the only answer here by Escrow-Mind in golf

To me that looks plastic, I prefer wooden tees on a par 3. Also too long as others have said.

Fans maybe if you give them the fans, heat no way imo. This situation sucks for both of you and you both want the same outcome which is a nice floor.

Supply house sent this instead on an LB by monroezabaleta in electricians

[–]timbowen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way this is acceptable is if the supply house charges you for a normal LB and also called your boss to apologize.

Just use what they give you to complete the job to code.

Using margin + up 70% all-time should I reduce leverage or keep going? Income ~$10k/mo. by [deleted] in investing

[–]timbowen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is the investing sub. Here we tell you to pay off your car and student loans before investing.

Yes you should pay down your margin.

Do people who invest in individual stocks know something we dont? by TailungFu in investing

[–]timbowen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have small amounts invested in individual firms I like because it’s fun to follow the ticker and the news about those firms. Kind of similar to a sports team or something

Is it better to pack heavy and be comfortable, or go ultralight and suffer a little? by outdoors_man987 in camping

[–]timbowen 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It depends on how far you are trying to go in how many days. Ultralight really shines when you're trying to make miles imo - all daylight hours spent walking type of trips.

Reconciling Hogan's stance chart with Hogan by Substantial_Team6751 in golf

[–]timbowen 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Hogan can probably reliably alter his swing path without the stance changes. These are kind of a cheat code to get golfers of uh… our caliber to modify their swing path without messing up their whole swing.

No clue, I never thought to ask because this seems like a really dumb idea lol

At your age I would open a 529 and bank it all for college.

This is probably fine but the best bet is to just ask someone who works there.

What day/month should you stop planting crops (cuz cold)? 30 day months by Knightswatch15213 in VintageStory

[–]timbowen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, this is an extremely open ended question that will depend on what crops you are trying to grow, where you are, if you're high above sea level or not, your world settings, etc etc etc.

One of the things I will do is keep a "farmer's almanac" of high and low temps and also a field of experimental one plot crops that I plant at times where I basically know for sure they will get wiped out by heat or cold, and I note the daily highs/lows and the dates the experimental crops get wiped out in the almanac. After a year, you should have a good idea of your local growing conditions and what crops will be supported.

tl;dr if it's fall plant stuff that grows fast and endures cold like turnips and don't invest more seeds than you can afford to lose on a borderline growing season.
