Dwarf fortress fortress design8/5/2023 ![]() ![]() This implies that fort areas near the surface are either built 1 extra Z-level below the surface, or get floored over on top with constructed floors or other such protective constructions. Therefore, all secure fort areas must have a tile above them that is not suitable for growing trees something like a wall, ramp, upward staircase, or constructed floor. Besides decreasing the supply of forestable land, this poses a problem for defense. If a tree grows on a tile with a mined-out tile (anything other than a wall or fortification) underneath, chopping down the tree creates a hole where it stood.Therefore, my fort should be designed so that all possible entrances from both the surface and the caverns go through staircases with floor hatches on the top. Secure defense relies on one fundamental principle: Building destroyers cannot destroy floor hatches from below as long as there is no other path to the top of the floor hatch.I don't have screenshots offhand, but I can describe my typical plan for a fort: Kitfox Discord #modding-discussion channelīronzemurder and Oilfurnace (illustrated) A three step guide:ĭownload DF Classic or install the premium version from Steam or Itch.ioįollow the quickstart guide on the wiki, or see other learning resources (below)Īsk any questions in the ☼Bi-weekly DF Questions Thread☼ - it's always active See the reasons for our rules here, and please report any problems!ĭF can be intimidating, but we're dedicated to helping new players.

Silo ridge houses8/5/2023 ![]() Duffy pointed out in his public comment that “Discovery Land was foreclosed on by its lender, Comerica Bank, in connection with the Spanish Oaks project in Texas in 2010." They also own Yellowstone Club in Big Sky Montana which defaulted on a $375 million loan in November 2008, though they have since bounced back. While default may be unlikely, former credit surety officer John A. “The townspeople have tended ‘as a whole’ to say otherwise…To us (the landscape) is a historic treasure that has been described as beautiful since the time of the Indians and first settlers until today."Īnother concern is that the town has not insisted developers bond the project to protect the municipality from having to pay for costly completion or removal of partially built infrastructure if the plan falls through. “(The Developers) have claimed that their community will have minimal visual impact," wrote Amenia Town Historian Arlene Juliano, in her public comment. And the local viewshed, lovingly referred to as “The Gateway to the Berkshires," will be affected. ![]() There are issues regarding water facilities and wastewater mitigation from the homes and golf course. Then in 2013, the project roared back to life when mega-resort community developers Discovery Land Company bought in and took the lead, turning the plan into a retreat for the super-rich family looking for a second, third or fourth home close to Manhattan as well as the cluster of prestigious private schools in the Southern Dutchess area.Īmenians do have some legitimate and specific concerns. The original plan for a golf community, including a 300-room hotel and a five-story parking garage, stalled during the recession. To be set on 800 acres of a southeast Dutchess County ridgeline, across the street from the Wassaic Metro-North train station, Silo Ridge has been a hotly contested issue for over a decade. This is (a) proposal for a level of leisure that is not what this small town is all about."Ĭonstruction progress on the golf course last fall. It is obvious that the applicant has done very little to understand the real cultural heritage of Amenia. ![]() ![]() There are generations of people here who have worked on the land. “This development is going to bring a more suburban quality to our area and our historical heritage is agricultural. Smithfield landscape designer Liz Faulkner well encapsulated the discontent in her public comment, quoted here from an article by Antonia Shoumatoff in The Millbrook Independent: The gated, Hudson Valley-themed, millionaires-only, private golf course community has been taken to task for its impact on the area, its scale, and for some, its tone-deaf approximation of regional authenticity.įor years concerns about the plan stayed insulated in the general area of Amenia, but after a glowing article about Silo Ridge appeared in the New York Times on March 8, groans of disapproval echoed through the valley and across social media (including RI’s own) denouncing the project, which will likely receive final approval in the next few months. Over the past few weeks, the impending development of Silo Ridge Field Club, in Amenia, NY, has come under increased scrutiny. ![]()

Tim and moby puberty8/5/2023 ![]() ![]() You’d never steer us wrong.) Resource: Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls (so funny, yet so wise) Puberty Concern 3: What is going on with my brain Why am I so. Parents of BrainPOP viewers also seem to approve, although some are concerned that their children will start viewing their household appliances as potential sexual partners – toasters seem to be the main suspect, with all their hot holes.Ĭoincidentally, Pope Francis endorsed same-sex marriage mere days after Tim and Moby’s announcement, although he has yet to state whether the Catholic Church will extend this welcome to couples where one partner can only understand the Bible if it’s uploaded onto their hard-drive through robotic colonoscopy. The Puberty Project Just had the great opportunity of doing this presentation live for the PhysEdSummit 3.0 You can watch it on YouTube- just make sure you. The LGBTQ+ community has been quick to embrace this advancement of relations between machine and man, hailing it as “the Third Industrial Revolution”.

Tim and Moby are best known for their cover attempt for their crimes known as Brainpop. ![]() The suction feature was there when I got him.” Meanwhile, Moby is incapable of human speech, but in the past was known for beeping angrily and printing extra copies of GQ when asked about his sexuality. However, Tim has always been quick to brush aside these claims: “I’m just a guy with his robot. One anonymous source claimed to have seen Tim and Moby in a New York City alley in 2011: “I’m not sure that Moby needed to be on his knees to get his system rebooted.” In addition, a business associate once caught Tim stroking Moby’s sensory wires under the table during a meeting, and in 2015, even Tim’s own mother claimed her son “completely abandoned his weebo body pillow” to sleep next to a smooth, hard, man-shaped robot. Over the years, countless allegations have been made about the status of their relationship, although these allegations have always been denied. “Would our young viewers still be able to retain basic educational topics if they knew we were raw-dogging it off screen? For a long time, we just couldn’t take that risk.” “We weren’t sure how people were going to react,” Tim stated in their joint press release.

Idaho new home inventory8/4/2023 ![]() With Kootenai County rounding out our exploration of Idaho markets, we see a common picture. Here is a snapshot of the Kootenai County real estate market as it stands: For real estate agents specializing in higher-priced housing demographics, Coeur D’Alene and the surrounding area is an exciting place to be. Kootenai County looks much like the Treasure Valley, boasting high sales numbers and flourishing home prices even as homes become harder and harder to find. This is particularly true in every bracket of housing costs below $750,000-but even luxury homes priced higher are in short supply. The answer: much the same as the rest of the state, where demand remains high amidst lower levels of inventory. This beautiful Idaho region is a popular escape for many across the country, so how has it fared in the chaos of 2020? The housing market up in Coeur D’Alene represents a unique combination of luxury and suburban homes. If anything, the pandemic only served to spur this growth on.īut has this been the case even in Northern Idaho? With Bonneville County experiencing massive population booms, not even pandemic shutdowns and an economic downturn could offset the juggernaut pacing of Idaho real estate. Long before the pandemic, the Idaho Falls metro area was expected to outpace the Treasure Valley in terms of price growth. Here’s a brief look at the Bonneville County real estate numbers: However, for those escaping the many crises that have hit California, Washington, and Oregon over the course of the last year, the low prices and less-dense region make for a highly appealing environment in which to invest in real estate. Correspondingly, certain economic and lifestyle opportunities differ there. This, paired with business growth in the region, have made for a great investment opportunity for many people as they look for a more rural area in which to settle down.īonneville County is nowhere near the size of Ada County in terms of population. The Idaho Falls-area home values are still significantly below the prices of Ada County. There, inventory is actually on the rise, a result of constant development and unprecedented growth. The only predictable effect of which will be the continued rise in home values.īut are our neighboring communities in the Gem State in the same boat?īonneville County, which contains Idaho Falls and its bustling real estate market, appears to be in a different situation than the Treasure Valley. The lack of inventory will have untold consequences on the state of housing in the Boise area. That decline is a combination of many factors, and it doesn’t look like it’s set to go up anytime soon. Sales have increased, but not nearly enough to make up for the slip in available housing inventory. These snapshots show a unique real estate market, one in which supply is nowhere near coming close to the demand. With mortgage loans common under 3% interest, buyers are joining the fray in order to lock in a better deal. Among them are the record-low interest rates across the nation. Many factors account for the sustained demand. At the same time, homebuying remains strong, outpacing 2019. Here, inventory numbers are descending into never-before-seen territory, lows that make for an incredibly competitive environment for new buyers. We see this play out across the numbers, represented in both rising home costs and the obvious continued demand for housing. We’ll explore that bigger picture here, comparing Idaho’s major real estate regions for a better look.Īs the state’s most populous region, it stands to reason that the Treasure Valley would boast the most competitive housing market. Understanding housing market trends is easier with a bigger picture. For some, this is a great thing-for others, not so much.īut what about the housing markets in other bustling Idaho communities? Idaho Falls was at one point not too long ago outpacing the Boise-area in many respects. ![]() From high housing costs to limited availability, our situation is unlike anything in the past. The Treasure Valley housing market is facing unprecedented shifts. ![]()

Eft gas mask filter8/4/2023 ![]() In the same way that fit is critical when selecting a face mask, when possible, you should look for filters specifically designed for your mask. If you’re in a pinch or still having trouble finding an N95, you can boost your cloth mask’s efficacy by adding a filter. Fortunately, N95 masks (and their Chinese equivalents, KN95s) are now more widely available, and these are what you really should be wearing. Early in the pandemic, these masks were in short supply and generally reserved for health-care workers, so the public was advised to use less-effective cloth masks instead. N95 respirator masks, certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to filter out 95 percent of airborne particles, are the gold standard in virus prevention. Given that these gas mask filters are airtight to aerosol particles, they are often chosen for liquid spraying works such as painting.Along with getting vaccinated, regular mask wearing is one of the best ways to protect yourself and others from contracting COVID-19, especially now that case numbers are soaring to record highs because of the Omicron variant. The most commonly used respiratory protection filters are:Ī2-P3: Organic gases and vapours (solvents) with boiling points above 65☌, solid and liquid particles, radioactive and highly toxic particles, bacteria, and viruses.Ī2-P3 Reactor: Same as above with the addition of radioactive iodine (Iodine 131) and methyl iodide.ĪBEK2-P3: Organic, inorganic gases and vapours, acid gases, ammonia and its derivatives, solid and liquid particles, radioactive and toxic particles, and micro-organisms like bacteria and viruses.ĪBEK2HgNOCO20-P3: Same as above with mercury vapours, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. Their operating principle is very easy to understand: inspired air goes through the particle and aerosol filtering device (like oil or paint droplet e. Because of this virtually unbeatable protection level in the field of air purifying respirator cartridges they are slightly larger than standard gas mask filters. Combined respiratory protection filters (against gas and particles)Īs their name implies, combined filters are efficient both against dusts and toxic substances. They consist of 2 barriers placed in series in the cartridge. This way, a gas mask filter cartridge against organic and inorganic gas and vapor, acids and ammonia – and its derivatives – will be labeled ABEK with a color code brown, grey, yellow, green. Some respirator filter cartridges can combine simultaneously several gases. Nitric oxide, nitrogen oxide, nitrous vapor ![]() Inorganic gases and vapours such as chlorine, hydrogen sulphide or hydrocyanic acid) Gases and vapours of organic compounds with a boiling point below 65☌ such as methanol, chloroform or perchloroethylene Organic gases and vapours (solvents) with boiling points above 65☌ such as white spirit, styrene or xylene In addition to the three efficiency levels, there is a specific codification composed by letters and colors for different types of toxic gas and substances. These gas mask filters feature a microporous structure made of active carbon with tiny capillaries for an enhanced purifying efficiency while reducing the breathing effort.Īs for particle filters, they are gathered into 3 efficiency classes, ensuring a purifying level (3 being the maximum protection level). Gas filters for APR respirators are especially designed to get protected against toxic substances. ![]() This breathing disturbance will determine the replacement. In a dusty environment, particulates filter will progressively clog and offer a higher and higher breathing resistance – without affecting the purifying power. Because of their hydrophobic characteristic they are water resistant and stop the thinnest particles. Particle filters for air purifying respirators (PAPR) feature a large parallel pleated purifying surface which avoid clogging risks in very dusty environments. ![]() The most effective protection is class P3 (filtration rate of 99.97%), which should be used as often as possible against tiny dust such as asbestos (level 1), ceramic fibres, and viruses (avian flu, H1N1 flu, coronavirus, etc.) and bacteria. They are gathered into 3 efficiency classes (P1, P2 or P3) that ensure a purifying level from 80% to 99.97%. Particle respiratory protection filters – also known as aerosol gas mask filters – are mainly used to protect users against dusts, particles, liquid and solid aerosols according to the EN143 standard. ![]() Sort By Set Descending Direction P3 respiratory protection filters (against dust) ![]()
