    EVE Online

    Capsuleer event started today and goes for a month. I looked in. Biggest nothing burger, almost as much nothing as the events they skipped a while back. I was already subbed for a year at a time through plex. No way I would pay anything to come back for it if not already subbed/training. More...

    Get sick. Apparently it's a big turn on for some women. Of course a female friend of mine that is a nurse says they are all moving in on me to fulfill that misery movie scene. Personally I think my friend is getting back at me when I told her the reason I never asked her out is there is only...

    Favorite albums of all time?

    Spent many a night with the girlfriend listening to this album over the last 35 years. Best listened to on a hot night with the doors and windows open and lights off and girlfriend of your choice or wife, or both if they know each other.

    Looks like OK is getting it bad today. When I was about 10 was in OK and the radio was talking about lots of tornados and places we really didn't know where they were. We pulled over and stopped at a lake in a hilly area. All the other people stopping had got out of the car and we could see 3...

    The commander at the nautiloid you start in and have to leave to start the game has it. You don't have to kill him, a lot of people use command to make him drop it. Then pick it up and gtfo. Did see a video of a guy killing everything there to start on honor mode without anyone else in the...

    One of the tornados today in NE derailed two trains. We get small ones, but never anyting like they do in big tornado country. One touched down a few miles from my house once and took out several commercial chicken houses. Giant mess to clean up. I was out of town. Pretty big hit to the...

    The lithium buble is or has deflated at least in my part of the world. Last summer big money thrown around buying and leasing mineral rights in the hopes of hitting lithium. By start of year that disappeared like someone turned off the light switch. I did like the one comment on copper. Nobody...

    I don't know how some people do it either. I've always worked at home in the office behind the house on the same meter. Kept the house cool all the time since I was in and out. 2,300 sq. ft. house which is not that large, but built in 1960. Always hearing from people how their power bill is more...

    I have no desire to buy an electric mower, but I do wonder how well they would cut for people that buy them during the times of the year in the south when you might need to mow your yard twice a week when it rains a bunch in the summer, most people stretch it out and instead end up cutting much...

    Weigh how much the company fears getting a larger fine from OSHA compared to how much they pay you. I have seen it a lot. FYI don't use the term blackmail. "Bringing it to their attention" and maybe throw in how you aren't happy about it. Not me of course, just saying.

    I thought the mechanics were done okay. I didn't know anything about DND 5. The first half of the story was acceptable. Past that when it became clear the end boss was a brain and the entire mindflayer thing was a huge turn off to me.

    Wait till someone explains inflation to them and they need to ask for more allowance . Like early on I got the talk about taxes and was very surprised people at their first high school job were shocked they took out taxes.

    Tell them OSHA requires a fixed industrial ladder exceeding 20 feet to have a cage around it unless it's for emergency egress only. Ask them why you are having to go UP an egress only ladder. Under 1910.21 I'm sure they get some limited use waiver and such.

    I keep two window units in the shop and put them in quickly to run off the generator if we have long term outagess. Sometimes a hurricane but once a straight line wind of 70+ mph over a 70 mile length which put a lot of trees down on the power lines. Good enough for a bedroom and one other small...

    Been playing at short stretches at a time. Made some kind of boo boo. Before fights I "might" have to hit the mana flask once if it went on very long. Now magically it's like constantly as soon as I can even on super easy trash mobs. Guess I'll have to ferret through where the booboo was made.

    I dont some in the past but we'll see. The options are most likely a RASA or a sct with hyperstar. I only do deep sky stuff. The planets and moon are not my thing.
