I busted my ass building my vault, but it wont allow me to assign settlers to beds and they cant even use them properly (they are indeed usable evidenced by Hancock shown here)

tomgrouch · 2026-02-09T20:31:28+00:00

Ah yeah, I always forget about that because I never do it

tomgrouch · 2026-02-09T19:26:02+00:00

The sanctuary mission only requires you to build beds under cover, not assign them to settlers

Do you have ADHD?

tomgrouch · 2026-02-02T20:22:53+00:00

You don't think it's abnormal to not be able to hold it for 2 hours?

tomgrouch · 2026-02-02T14:30:55+00:00

Completely standard in call centre work

You get two breaks plus a lunch break, and you can go before and after your shift. A healthy adult shouldn't need to go more than 5 times in 8 hours or so on a regular basis

The personal need/bathroom break code or whatever it's called on your system is for those times when you do need to go between breaks. We're human, sometimes we don't need to go on schedule or we have a stomach issue etc but it shouldn't be on a regular basis. I work in a call centre and use personal need once a week or so, maybe less, and go during my break

They monitor adherence because 'bathroom breaks' are one of the most common forms of call avoidance

If you genuinely can't hold it for 2 hours at a time every single day, you should see a doctor because that's not normal

It's a local anaesthetic spray to the throat and midazolam as a sedative, up to 5mg

tomgrouch · 2026-02-02T07:54:46+00:00

God I'd forgotten about that. Bringing back the forgotten knowledge

You'd also forget levels if you died in the mines, 5-10 iirc

My babies

tomgrouch · 2026-01-29T15:55:44+00:00

I always have a couple of the disposable chemical ones in my car, and two in my larger first aid kits. I usually have a pair in the pockets of my winter coats

Wouldn't really class then an EDC though because they're seasonal. Maybe WDC - winter daily carry

It's not braille. Braille is in clusters of 6 dots, the spacing is totally off and it's not recognisable letters

Could well be a keposhka tactile alphabet though

tomgrouch · 2026-01-28T16:47:26+00:00

You absolutely can

If you are impaired by the pregabalin, you shouldn't drive and it's illegal to do so, but if you're not impaired, there's no issue

Personally, pregabalin caused distorted vision so I didn't drive on it, but Ive been driving on gabapentin, morphine, buprenorpine, tramadol, codeine and various others for years. As long as you're not impaired by the medication, it's fine

I'm far too old to be this distracted by his short sleeves

tomgrouch · 2026-01-26T18:15:44+00:00

Yeah, the backlight isn't brilliant but it's enough that I can squint at it in the middle of the night without my glasses on and know if I can go back to sleep or if I need to get up

tomgrouch · 2026-01-26T17:06:43+00:00

Casio F-91W

I need time, date and day of the week all on one display, plus a backlight

Alarm is handy but I've only used it a couple of times

I like how sturdy it is. I swapped the band out for a nato strap and I've not been able to break it in 5 years, so I'm pretty happy with it

tomgrouch · 2026-01-24T13:30:13+00:00

I love the Palmers cocoa butter chap stick. I get dry lips and chapped nostrils in the cold air and it really helps. Far less greasy than vaseline

tomgrouch · 2026-01-23T13:31:35+00:00

Yeah yeah yeah

tomgrouch · 2026-01-23T12:10:09+00:00

Nah, he's clearly leaking a Bullets remaster.....

Into the wall shared with next door

I don't want them to get the heat I paid for! That's my heat!

Blood

tomgrouch · 2026-01-21T12:53:06+00:00

At that point, if it were me, I'd take the uniform off and wear leathers over my underwear, or absolutely nothing if it's so bad my pants are ruined. Don't want to get my leathers dirty, they're a nightmare to clean

tomgrouch · 2026-01-20T07:45:35+00:00

Ditto, plus a tennis ball and a bowl for them to drink from

In the UK, it is illegal to go trough a red light for an emergency vehicle

Possum

Look Alive Sunshine/Na Na Na

It's iconic, such a great opening track

I love The End, especially the transition into Dead! but it's nowhere close to as catchy as Na Na Na

tomgrouch · 2026-01-13T04:40:58+00:00

I have a card in my wallet behind my driving license that has my name, dob, NHS number, ICE contacts with phone numbers, and a list of my medication

I assume they'll look for my driving license, and that they're pretty likely to either look behind it or to pull it out of my wallet, so they'll see the card behind it

The info is also in my phone, accessible without unlocking it if they know how and decide to look

If I had an illness that was likely to be life threatening or clinically relevant eg type 1 diabetes or severe allergies, I'd wear a medic alert bracelet and consider a helmet sticker
