    Spoke too soon lol. Somehow I disabled the speaker part of the headphone and unplugging/plugging in again doesn't fix it. Microphone still works tho. I'll delve deeper. Edit - fix it kinda. I don't get the option to make as default device for either the speakers or the headphones, but I get it...

    I got a new cheap headset. It works OK when plugged in, but my other speakers then go mute of course. The problem is my computer is like 15 feet away from where I sit and use the computer. Anyway in windows 7 to be able to switch between the two without just unplugging the headset. The headset...

    If you get playing and are interested in PVP you can watch this video. It's extremely long but you only have to watch the first part. He picks on particular ship and how to train for it early on in your character. The biggest part is he goes over all the stuff nobody tells you, how to pick...

    I'm not an expert. But I think I would pick a goal or a playstyle you enjoy and go from there. Early on you can change pretty quickly from ships etc..Play enough to find out if you enjoy missles, blasters, drones etc...and kind of work your way up that particular line for a while. Can join the...

    I watched part of this video. It's 4 years old, but it shows how less twitchy pvp can be and how he does really well just based on his knowledge. He goes thru a thousand things instantly in his head while pvp'ing. Getting all that info in your head ahead of time is where the time comes in for...

    I think they took learning skills out of the game. You could always buy a plex, sell the plex for ISK and then buy a skill injector to get 400k SP to get a quick jump start. I think the Eve University Corp runs classes, it's just a corp for new players.

    This is something that's probably well known but I find it kind of odd. While ship shopping I've noticed a fair number of them with rigs and a fair amount of equipment much cheaper than the unfitted ship. I picked up a ship and got 40m of drones I didn't have a use for and unloaded them and the...

    Yeah for a full yard, but a lot of stuff travels from point A to point B that didn't originate at a trucking company. Anyway, they'll get autonomous figured out given time. But I'm not a fan of not having an option to manually drive the car. Since this thread popped up I keep thinking of lots...

    Well for individuals I don't know, but a couple years ago the option for us was to overpay 3 drivers to drive from MI to Louisiana, or hire a plane to do it for 300k. Pretty sure those guys were speeding. When I came down sick I was driving to work to be there at 7 and left at 5:30 am. Boss...

    Lost a ship today when I disconnected. At least it wasn't a 5 billlion isk ship. Sad part is I kept fighting what I'm sure was a long period while actually disconnected. Hmm clicked on those drons to return and nothing happened. Doh. I'm heavily invested in drone ships/gallente. Thinking of...

    No speeding? Screw that. If you get the right drivers they can do 3 to a rig and deliver pretty damn quick and never stop but for gas. I'm pretty sure they speed like hell for the right amount of money.

    Not married, but my longtime girlfriend does this a lot. She sees something on TV or the internet, like some project. Oh it's no big deal, yeah because they have a staff of people, cut all the "work", and condense it down to 2-10 minutes and then she will say "it won't be a big deal, it looks...

    Maybe, but the shit we get in has that happen on both ends.

    Not here, but when I lived in TX it wasn't all that uncommon to see parking spots listed as "dually only" and such. I've personally never seen a hybrid parking spot or one like I've seen on the internet "micro" cars only. But what is rustling my jimmies is myself. Freaking body falling apart...

    FEMA has decided against the trailer setup. They're going to offer vouchers to people to pay for places they rent. I don't know where you are going to use a voucher, there ain't no fucking place to rent. People are just shacked up with whoever will let them in, give them a voucher JFC.

    Yeah the MS thing is odd, I've never been deficient in vitamin D and am outside a lot. When they checked mine it was pretty high already. Dr. said a lot of people never go outside anymore and are borderline deficient nowdays. She asked me how long I had been taking vitamin D, she was suprised...

    How much vitamin D do you take a day? Doctor has me on 5k itu a day. The woman who does my blood work has MS and she takes 50k a day. Sounds excessive, but apparently there's a link between vitamin D and MS, which is why MS is much more common in Canada than the US. At least it's cheap.
