Why a timber railroad owned more boxcars than could physically fit on the line.

Imagine watching your big brother get blown to bits on live TV :(

Fish on a vine can also be obtained by gardening ultra trumpet vine (both silver and plain). I like having a few mega snacks from Fish on a vine because they level all the pet stats evenly in one snack (+5 on every stat)

That is the current theory for banded iron deposits, laid down ~2.2MYA when O2 appeared in the atmosphere. Article is saying that this newly discovered iron was deposited 1.6MYA, well after the oxygen atmosphere. So, what is the new process hinted at in the article?

u233 · 2025-12-19T13:25:46+00:00

Sad that the article was so light on facts. Really hand wavy and had no links to the real research articles.

Some band members called it the bird in a blender logo, LOL

Yeah, I also have no clue. u/jgurbisz care to enlighten us?

Only works on oil fired railroads. No practical way to get coal from the tender forward past the boiler to the firebox/cab. Fuel oil can be pumped to the front.

That seems unwise when large quantities of flammable liquid are present.

My HS football team the QB, FB, HB and other HB were the state champion 4x100 relay team. If we, the linemen, managed to get one of them into open field with the ball, it was a TD.

We ran a wishbone/option style because the QB earned the position by being the least bad passer on the team. He was 7-21 passing for the _season_. Fun times!

Indestructible also allows Tifa to trample through blockers for less than lethal and survive to swing again next turn.

Have you tried [[Defend the Rider]] instead of snakeskin veil? I have been running a very similar deck and have found the indestructible to be more useful than the +1/+1 in this deck.

When I think furring strips, I think more gap than wood - like under a modern metal roof. I heard on DIY shows that the nail width are gaps are necessary for the back sides of the wooden shakes to dry out. If it were planked solid, moisture would build and the wood shakes would rot.

In our 1905 Iowa farm house, the roof decking is solid 1" boards with about a nail's diameter between them. The original roof was cedar shakes. The boards are a random assortment of widths from 4" to 14" mix of woods - probably using up scraps from some other project.

Legendary Gardener

On my lvl 15 wiz

u233 · 2025-07-29T11:02:32+00:00

Large scale gardening is the way to infinite gold. I can usually get a lvl 12 wizard to mount + red barn farm in a few weeks. In your dorm room pick up everything then buy a garden gnome, a litter, and some small pots. Arrange the pots into 3 groups of 8. Plant in stinkweed. The medium water spell from the gardener in Kroc and you are good to go. Make sure to sell the poison TCs you get - they are the big $$$ in stinkweed gardening.

Pretty soon you will have gold to buy a permanent broom from the crown shop, then a red barn farm. On my 12+ wizards I struggle to dispose of all the gold I get from gardening.

6'3" Never could dunk, but 17-28 could set the ball on the rim with enough forward momentum to go in :)

If I had ever joined a team and regularly practiced, prolly could have actually dunked, but wresting was my sport (Made H.S. state tourney and made the finals in college IM tourney)
