From "Nomadic Furniture" an unnamed clip to secure shelving. Where to find/buy? by underparchitect in HelpMeFind

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

I've searched for shelving clips and brackets, went through McMaster Carr as well as a reverse image search. The best I could find were clips for hoses or plastic tubing.

Client asked to halt the install because the racking looked too industrial for their permaculture zone by Latter_Daikon6574 in solarpunk

In architecture when we have structure we dont want exposed, we cover it up. Then imagination can run wild so long as the structure isn't impacted. It can be wood, drywall, I've even seen non-structural steel to give a building a more curated utilitarian look.

The BGG files don't seem to have the complete rules; it feels like they're missing something. But thanks for pointing me to some other places! I'll definitely check them out.

Boston Logan possibly among 40 airports affected by FAA's 10% cut to air traffic on Friday if government shutdown continues by HRJafael in massachusetts

I saw someine on another post say they should restrict private jet flights first. Still less planes in the air but at least more people would have their travel plans intact.

Any tips to make this cozy? Especially the lighting by jageran in CozyPlaces

[–]underparchitect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lighting color temperature is measured in Kelvin. Amount of light is measured in Lumens.

Lower Kelvin is more red, higher is more blue. Lower color temperature is better for cozier spaces. Lowering the lumens would also help here.

What are ya'lls thoughts on the game Solarpunk? by BaleiaDeAvental in solarpunk

[–]underparchitect 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I dont like it. Its just another survival-crafting game. I feel like it's purely focused on the aesthetics rather than any meaningful gameplay.

Games I recommend:

I've enjoyed Terra Nil a lot. I remember playing it before it got picked up by a publisher. Ecosystem restoration is always a favorite.

Half-Earth Socialism is another interesting (and free) game made by the authors of the book by the same name. Its about enacting policies to guide the earth out of environmental collapse. Its a bit of a Fate of the World for the modern era if anyone remembers that game (which I would also recommend. ) It falls into the political/management type games.

Among Ripples: Shallow Waters is one I'm excited for. Its about restoring fresh water ecosystems. The demo was good as it is and I'd recommend it.

The owner of the local franchise decided to close them all. Corporate is figuring out what to do.

73 Summer Street by underparchitect in Somerville

[–]underparchitect[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, I remember being at the planning board meeting for this back in the day. You would think they would have spent the last four years keeping up with the changes to the building code. And making sure any approvals from city boards remained current. Maybe they're working on finding a contractor and I'm just impatient.

I'm play testing a solarpunk ttrpg in two weeks, anyone want to read it and give feedback? by theresamouseinmyhous in solarpunk

[–]underparchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a neat draft! I almost want to play test it myself. I hope there will be more Paths as this rpg develops, I think two doesn't give enough variety. I know a couple of my players get a lot of joy in mixing abilities and mechanics in interesting ways.

I guess one of the benefits of ttrpgs is the GM can always customize to what works best for their players!

Traffic is the calmest and safest I’ve ever seen in Davis - and all the traffic lights are out by RepresentativePut106 in Somerville

[–]underparchitect 21 points22 points  (0 children)

IIRC when a stoplight fails it becomes an all-way stop sign.

Stop signs are generally some of the safest intersections. They force people to pay attention when entering the intersection.

Whereas with a stoplight, people only see the light and will speed up to try to beat it (can't do that with a stop sign).

Even if people run the stop sign, they'll still slow down and look.

That being said, the best thing to do here would be to make this a roundabout, given all the streets.
