    EVE Online

    The update on Tuesday had a number of changes to things here and there. But everyone can claim a free pilot resculpt in the New Eden Store with your weekly 10k free SP or whatever it is. Sounds like major pandering to me. You can resculpt your looks as normal but now you can change the sex you...

    No way of knowing but would be nice to know how many were legal citizens that lost a job compared to how many got deported or self deported.

    Why I said a while back that Jonathon may be the best person for the job getting things designed and produced I don't know. I do know they should have found someone else to be the face of the company for PR and annoucements.

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    My mother took a big fall last night. I wasn't there but stopped by to pick up some stuff. They have a small closet off the hall that has a small night light that hangs off the door knob. I noticed it was on the floor. Turns out she fell into the door. She has a pretty big lump on her head...

    Cool things

    I know things that interest me are of no interst to most people. Sitting here today was thinking about cool things I've seen or been around. One of those days. Either today or tomorrow I'll be checking in a hospital for possibly the last time. In 1992 I spent the summer in Alaska on the Kenai...

    That's been my experience as well, but guessing a lot of people can't easily buy non ethanol gas. It's all they sell here at the marinas and near the lake. You pay a premium but for small engines it's probably better than to having to drain your stuff or clean your carb and such.

    Health Problems

    I've been a number of MRIs and only one place that I know of has an open MRI and it wasn't a place I went to. I figure there is a huge upsell to them for people that won't fit into a normal one or claustrophobic. It's also the only place I've seen that advertises they do MRIs and have an open...

    I get head, heck, and spine with and without contrast. It takes about 1-1/2 hours or so. By the time they do the first scan and then the dye and then another scan. They use several foam type deals to support your legs/knees and your head/neck so it doesn't move. I don't have to breath in and out...

    I keep gas in my generator and other power equipment. Of course we don't really have a winter to winterize stuff for when stuff won't be used for months. I've mowed my grass the week of Christmas and some years in freaking shorts. Anyway I mix the gas with stabil and stuff like a portable...

    I'm not playing but I did watch the reveal/annoucement video. Jonathon may be the best dev or manager in the world. But they really should get someone else to be the "face" of those type of things.

    I think my prep was one day or maybe a little more and the only eat/don't eat I got was don't drink anything other than clear stuff and don't eat anything after a certain time. It wasn't all that bad. It was obviously they were used to doing and it was maybe 15 minutes after I got to the...

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    Parents told me today they are looking to move. Mom is 80 and dad is 83. They expect my brother in law to go down hill rapidly and my sister would probably move near her kids which would likely be Tennesee. They asked me, no idea why. They want to move near more stuff. They have a hospital less...

    3 earthqauakes yesterday near me in east, TX. Thed higgest was a 3.or something around there. Earthquakes are very rare here. I didn't notice anything and the map showed the biggest about 20 miles away. Around 175 miles away from Houston if driving and the highway is pretty straight to there.

    Closing in on $40/troy ounce for silver. Heard all kind of things but supply hasn't been keeping up with worldwide demand. Who knows heard everything from use in electric cars, missles, and handheld games. Surprised they haven't thrown in aliens or one of the dead Hunt brothers.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I haven't really followed it, but kind of thought one day someone would sue for something. Of course it wouldn't do any good if they could find a lawyer that would sign on but that much money sometimes people get sue happy.

    That was my first thought. That's back when I watched some TV and seemed like every other commercial was DOT COM even on stuff you would never order. I could never figure out how they hoped to monetize some of it, guess they couldn't.
