Hey folks, my bilge pump died after a rain two nights ago. There was about 4 inches of light green, organic, water in the stern before I pumped it out and replaced the bilge pump. Now there is a persistent green stain that I have scrubbed like mad with soap, brush, and sponge but I can’t get rid of it. I am hesitant to use bleach in this marine environment, but curious about reactions to these pics, thanks!
Hey folks, I have played for years but I am an average Elo player (1100-1200). I play to mess around and try things, most of the time.
Is it me or does the “low Elo” range have a lot of immature behavior? So many people just want to trash talk after winning or have some kind of meltdown after losing.
Do better players have some perspective compared to these 🤡🤡🤡?
The orange cogwheel represents Pawtucket’s mills, metalworking, machine shops, skilled labor and its central role in American industrialization. Slater Mill was the first successful water-powered cotton-spinning mill in the United States, and the surrounding community’s mechanics helped construct the machinery that made it operate. Orange suggests heat, energy, work and continued reinvention rather than presenting industry as something confined to the past.
The blue-and-white waves represent the Blackstone River and Pawtucket Falls. The river was not merely a geographic feature: its waterpower was the force that drove the machinery and shaped the city’s development. The repeated waves suggest continuous movement, while the three blue bands can also be read as Pawtucket’s past, present and future flowing through the same place.
Placing the water inside the gear expresses the relationship directly: the river turns the machinery. Industry did not arise separately from Pawtucket’s landscape; it grew from it.
The circular composition represents unity and continuity. It also reflects the way the Blackstone links the two sides of the city rather than merely dividing them. The open white spaces keep the design legible and represent possibility, while the black outlines give the emblem the weight and precision of an engineering drawing.
Hey folks, I am sure this is fine, but I always expect the unexpected on this subreddit so my question is:
My 17' Whaler (with a 2023 Merc 90) now lives at a slip near my house, yay. Unfortunately, the closest fuel dock is across the bay (three to four miles, round trip) and they are closed on weekends. I don't want to put ethanol from the gas station in the boat. So I am thinking of filling up a five gallon can of fuel dock gas when I fill up the 15 gallon fuel tank on the boat, then keeping the can in the garage for weekend top-ups. I suspect that extra five gallons won't be sitting around for more than a week. Any need to add stabilizers or anything? I assume not but, again, I have learned to assume nothing with boating. Thanks!
Hey AOE3DE friends, I started a new account and, for some crazy reason, I can't shift click any of my artillery. If I drag box a collection of units and shift click them to a series of points they all follow the commands except for the artillery, which only go to the first waypoint and then stop. Same thing happens if I shift click only the artillery units. As you can imagine, this has lead to me losing expensive units for free. Any ideas why this might be happening? This has never happened on my first account. Thanks!
