    It wasn't built like that to begin with. The city is sinking the more water the corps pumps out the lower the city gets. Like I said 100 years ago New Orleans was a "town" not a city built for river traffic. There's a reason the low parts are the ghetto of the ghetto. Anyone that can leave did...

    I haven't looked in a while, but 5ish hours ago they were shifting the prediction to the west more toward Lake Charles which got hit hard last year, then move up into East, TX. It's been pretty dry here the last few days. Before two weeks ago it rained everyday. Baton Rouge set a record with 48"...

    Prediction down to Cat 3. People always ask why people live down there. I wouldn't. Especially for retail crap that you could work any number of other places. Pre Oil Boom and cars in the US New Orleans was a pretty small/sleepy town. New Orleans is the gateway to the gulf and oil. The largest...

    The Corp of engineers spent billions making a new steel sea wall sunk interlocked together sunk down like 80 feet. 8 miles long, 150' deep and largest surge barrier in the world according to the video I linked below. The corps is not well liked in Louisiana. 50% of the things they have done turn...

    The good news is act 1 got easier this league. Oh wait it didn't, it got harder. Seemed odd to frontload the changes to the first thing a new player hits instead of toward the end.

    I only look at reddit every few months, maybe right before a league. The Chris "walked on water" is still pretty large over there. In a ways it's almost bipolar.

    Looked the other day and question was what question would you ask Chris? Answered none. Actions speek louder than words or manifestos. Didn't matter what his answer would have been. The Chris huggers didn't care for it lol.

    That's my dad and to a lesser degree me. Before he got started in steel he did laminated beam detailing. Every so often like 3-4 times a year someone calls and wants one done. He did some laminated wood columns for a waterpark slide tower. I did the other half which was done in steel. It's just...

    If slash pine which is very common in FL you're better off letting it rot and it likely will happen first before it burns. Pine in the southeast is quick to rot when not standing. Now if you had longleaf (you 99.9% most likley don't) that you'd have something. It used to be tapped for...

    Tech not used rapidly disappears. Read a few years ago the US has now rapidly lost nuclear tech to build new plants like they were often in the 70's. Same for certain nuclear weapons. I see it in pretty simple shit in refineries and chemical plants. Nobody knows what to do and how the safety...

    I mowed 40 acres on a Ford 9N up until the late 90's that was built in the first years of WWII. Not fancy but cranked and mowed just fine, just no A/C. That and discing. Eventually the camshaft broke in half. Then I replaced it with a Ford 650 that was built in the 50's. It's still going strong...

    People buy supporter packs before anything is known about a league or how bad it's going to suck. Why change and why make a different game, that requires work.

    Another offer on the house I can keep in the back pocket if needed. Another more than asking price. It was priced at 50% above appraised price to begin with. Probably one of the poorest counties in Texas that's not on the border. Of course that's all in the small town and the very few in the...

    Having taken a few leagues off it's super clear how much bloat is in the game. Used to keep up on all the league mechanics as they were patched in. Now trying to sort through several all at once and determine if that part is actually still in game or not. Blah.

    PR speak is calling it 2.0 or calling it a sequal when it's just a large patch of the current game.

    Same with Ford trucks. Someone at Ford thought it would be a great idea to cancel chip contracts because with shutdowns nobody would be buying a new vehicle. Good bet.

    They use similar now in forestry work. Pre commercial thinning of stands where they just walk and cut the seedlings,young trees down to thin them out quickly since they aren't large enough to do anything with yet. Also on chainsaws, hotsaws or go home :) I have a couple of Dolmar chainsaws...

    Dumb question time. What are the semi clear large monsters in the acts that look like they have flies coming and going in and out of them. Ran into a few so far. They don't seem to drop anything, or anything special. Guessing they were added in a league I didn't play.
