    EVE Online

    Since sentry drones are the hot thing, it is either slowcats or dominixes. CFC hasn't got Omegafleet working yet, so we won't know if that will be a functional countermove for slowcats, so in the meantime, it is time for the keyboard warriors to dial their whineplay up to 11 and bitch about...

    EVE Online

    Yes they do.Erotica 1is one of the more prolific spammers, and I tend to get conversations from people who were about to send some isk. This is because I'm in a chat channel with that clown on more than one of my characters and he just drags names into the chat channels to say things like...

    Definied benefit plan

    The plan document states whether you may or may not. My strongest advice is to leave the money there (unless it is a multi-employer plan). Every single time I have been offered a "buy out" from the crappy little pension I have, I have been offered between 10% and 50% of what it would cost to...

    EVE Online

    She also had a history of selling favors (such as nude pictures) for in-game stuff. This, combined with the Amazon wishlist stuff, strongly implies that she'd be selling in-game favors for real life stuff. I personally don't think she'd last 6 months before the security department fires her and...

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    I'm in my 50s. I find money to be the most important. I have a limited amount of time to save up as much for retirement as possible. I'm relatively healthy, so healthcare isn't that important to me. The fringe benefits aren't that valuable to me, but I'm taking advantage of the tuition...

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    The latest "investigation" claims that one of the firefighters had pipe bomb parts at his home, with the implication that the fertilizer plant is the victim of terrorism, and not butchers of the neighborhood.

    EVE Online

    If you want a steady income, stick with parts for fuel blocks (enriched uranium, mechanical parts and robotics) or make rocket fuel. Rocket fuel is used for making T2 missiles and can be made from storm planets: ionic solutions -> electrolytes, suspended plasma -> plasmoids. So many people use...

    WWYD if your girlfriend said she was on birth control but wasnt and got preggo?

    No. You can't sign away someone else's rights - in this case, the child's right to support. If she does put your name on the birth certificate, in most states you have 2 years from birth to challenge it. If you fail to do so, like because you never knew, then you're screwed and on the hook for...

    What book did you just buy?

    The latest one I bought wasVorpatril's Alliance. It is in the same series as the Miles Vorkosigan series, but this time features "IvanYou IdiotVorpatril". It is a pleasant SF novel with some romance and it expands on Ivan's family history and what sort of person he is.

    Liquors & Cocktails

    I like it and drink it. I prefer it to the other Jim Beam "small batches" because I prefer to drink mine neat, and anything over 80 proof burns my weakling throat. Pappy Van Winkles is nice, but the distributor in Denver is only allocating it to the high end bars/night clubs. So I only got...

    North Korea

    With Abe being prime minister of Japan again, he is going to be pushing for the repeal of Article 9 of their constitution (the one banning warfare and a real military). He tried pushing for that last time he was PM. I expect Japan to build their own nukes because of Abe and NK. I expect SK to...

    EVE Online

    Because most corps that appeal to, and attract, newbies end up getting wardecced to the point they collapse. This is what happened to 2 of the corps I joined last year. Probably 1/3 of the newbies ended up quitting the game because they could not dent the people wardeccing us and were losing...
