    The UK has it figured out. They've been cutting timber in the southeast and making wood pellets out of it. Then ship it via freighter to the UK to burn in coal plants. Kid you not.

    Hunting Thread

    Hunt woodcock (Timber Doodle) while you can. They're in bad shape and have been for at least the last 30 years and the concern is starting to pick up. Could see a closed season in certain areas on the horizon. Changing land use has seen them drop off an edge for quite a while. More clearings...

    Oil hovering at $80/barrel now headed up. Seeing lots of predictions for $100/barrel in the near future. One lease I have now on land I no longer own is already producing, the second I got contacted last week to lease. So they're already already trying to get ahead of the curve with leases on...

    Investing in farmland

    Here in my part of Texas the land is a bonus to whatever you get on the land, or can get. Mineral leases which that is a thing of the past now was a common one. Sometimes someone will buy land from estates soon after the death of someone before they have time to figure it out. Or from old ladies...

    Yeah lot of tech companies and suppliers shutting down till the end of the month due to not having power in China. Plus no permanent fix until March 2022. They mentioned Intel among others. Unrelated note took me a minute to realise when he was saying 3/4 dam he was saying 3 gorges dam.

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Ordered some stuff from sweetwater a couple of months ago. Looked today. Every one of them had a 20% price increase. Not guitars. Inflation.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    A lot of jobs now that require a degree would have been called data entry jobs 25-30 years ago. Just enter it enter the computer, no idea why or what it does.

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I had forgotten I guess I did play it a little back in the day. I finished act 1 and I guess I am done. Remember how bad I hated all the clunky ass hotkey settings and controls were on a PC.

    Energy ETF that I'm not in is up 15% in the last 4 days. No idea why in the least. Normally I have some idea. Mostly big name oil refiners and service companies. FENY, more clown world money I guess. Well oil broke $80/barrel but sitll.

    That "town" that's listed in that article isn't even a town. It's a slave community that's basically built on what is now the levee of the MS River across from New Orleans. Gonna guess they float every storm they get. The ones even up as far as Baton Rouge have to be buried with a giant...

    About the same time they started scarcity with mining and shit CCP also reduced escelations that came from anomolies. Not 50%, but I've seen enough people mention it to know there's something there. You know Eve players someone runs 2,000 sites and makes a spreadsheet with how many escelations...

    Depression

    Very rarely do I eat sugary foods. I'm a type 1 diabetic and have been for 45 years. I go through a shitload of medical testing that they still have no idea, my A1C still says very low as usual. Down in the normal range for non diabetics. Always less than 6 and as low as 4.5.

    I've seen some players that were gone when the region split off if you were gone long enough to petition to have your stuff moved to known space. But I've also heard others say they petitioned and the said no. Worth a try I guess.

    Personally and I have nothing to back that up have felt for a while the stock market gains have been because of an influx of money and money that literally had nowhere else to go.

    Part of highsec was hoovered up into a separate region in wormhole space. That's why there's now a lowsec system between Jita and Amarr. I think the new region wtih triglavians in wormhole space gets very very little use except for a few that live there. One you get a standing hit against them...

    Oklahoma

    The few times I've been to OK I like going to the museums oddly enough. The Gilcrease museum and the national cowboy hall of fame. Both have large collections of western art but the best things are the Remington painting and sculptures.

    Been told for 30 years that's why some of the platforms we do have to be split into two or multiples instead of one big platform with equipment on it. Only for some stuff. The one I see most often is sorting stuff that fill with something and then drop it down into a hopper or bag. Engineer told...
