    Being solo and dumb strikes again. I was going to have karniss take me to moonrise. I sided with the karniss against the harpers because I knew I couldn't take him down at lvl 5 solo. I made it to moonrise and got moonlantern from Balthazar room. It sucks. The only way I can get places is...

    It's nice to have friends tied to your line of work or same place of work. My friend that is in nurse management and his wife a nurse practioner sometimes I have to bug out because they get into work stuff and they talk in their own language. Seems like they would tire of it together all the...

    Wait till they find out about steel including their cars and toasters. All steel produced after WWII is radioactive in a very small way. Reason pre war steel is sought after from ships that sunk before the bomb was dropped. Highly sought after for medical instrumentation and such. Whole industry...

    Almost all of my friends were people I knew in college. Small school and extemely close in my major. We hunted and fished together in college and afterwards. It helps I guess that what we did together then they still do and also part of their job as biologist or land managers. I do have one...

    Location I guess. I've had the NOAA site list the current temp for my zip code off by 30 degrees during the middle of the day, not a storm or anything. It's all automated now but way back when I was in college there was a weather station on campus and a student had to check on it daily. Easiest...

    I see a lot of different choices for shadowheart. I played with her on some other duo runs and did nature and tempest. Never did life. Interesting. I am about as far as I can go now. Merkul now and I'm not sure I'm up to that solo. I held the "cheese" I used to a minimum. I didn't barrelmancy...

    A lot of variance on what people consider a friend. I know people that claim they are good friends with someone I knew years ago. They say they do things often together. Then I ask what that person is up to, what kind of work are they into, where did they move to? Umm I don't know. I would put...

    I did not look info the math but it's funny when you steal stuff and the DC is -3. All low value like arrows but still funny. Also for some reason Aaaron in the grove wound up with 4k gold and I would need like a 30 to steal it. Not sure how that happened. So back to Volo.

    I have always been extremely long on most of my stuff in the market. I have known a couple of people that just divested of most of their stuff and later got back in. Seemed like a big toll to play to try and time it right. I have a little that I take in and out and more "go with the flow' but...

    They all look good in a trailer. Traffic in a trailer is one thing, in game is another. Of course real life traffic control is pretty fubar as well so maybe they are simulating that.

    It's been up and down in the various sub sectors of the industry sector since the conflict in Iran started. But I mentioned it here that refining had been up 30% or so for the year before things in Iran started. Midstream (pipelines) had really been on a roller coast. Energy is still up >30 %...

    Not the price of oil but the energy sector is up more than 30% YTD. Did not see that coming at the start of the year. Crude down 15% early.

    Sulphur was another, but no idea what it is used for. Gunpowder but I am not sure that is the issue. A large issue in the US is plants shutting down and the rest contracting to the US.

    A lot of stuff that are a physical product have some tie in to not only energy/oil but stuff made in related petro chemical. Everything from tires, fertilizer, plastics etc. all start at a refinery then off to a chem plant (often adjacent to a refinery) via feed stocks and onto to whatever...

    Now at 3600mg a day on gabapentin and it really slows down your brain. It really helps with the pain but it feels like you are a rock or mud moving in a mud slide. I had to start wearing a watch to keep up with the time. I guess all medication has an upside and down side. I feel like I'm an hour...

    Someone sent me a meme a while back. When the auto correct keeps changing how you spell something so you use another word entirely. I normally have that off because when I send a work text or email it is totally lost.

    So at some point we will get a human police force that their job is take down rogue AI/robot stuff. Seems like I've seen that in numerous movies, ahead of their time I guess. Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons did one in 1984.

    Companies are picking up the same thing Amazon does and has for a while. The price you see aren't always what others see. Also if you put something in your cart and don't buy it they will sometimes lower the price to entice you to buy it and then if you don't it goes back up, sometimes more than...

    If you are up early enough the last week or so futures have been up and Trump would release something on his social site at 4am and then it would pull back some, until this week it stayed up.

    Congrats. I got to 96 once and died. That pretty much killed off my desire to go further. Of course not dying would have been the key take away.
