    They've been on a CCP skin kick forever now. I looked at my character sheet and I have 502 skins with 99.9% of them being free skins I got from events or the daily login reward. I have used maybe one or two of them. The new expansion put in a new skinning UI but it's not worth a shit. The...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Ordered a new Mountian Hardwear 2 person tent to replace another Mountain Hardwear tent that was 20+ years old and was starting to show it's age. Tag on it says "unisex", well that's good to know I guess.

    CCP got partners to make a skin before launch for charity. Someone bought them and copied them and relisted for a lot more and people bought them thinking they were buying from CCP. Eve never changes. Multiple billions each lol. CCP still sells boots though you really can't see feet on most...

    Cheapest possible skin made with the free stuff they already give you. 75 plex and 3 minutes to design. Super simple but cheaper than most of the Cerb skins in game already on the regular market (not skinr). CCP tries to nickle and dime you the entire way. 75plex to make and so many days to...

    Health Problems

    About once a year I have a MRI, head, neck, and spine with and without contrast. I just use earplugs and sleep a couple of hours.

    My favorite is when people say things like "it would be super easy for you and take only minutes". Sure might. But why would I do something that is super easy and most likely I would get a super low amount for when I could do something and make real money? A lot of the shops I do work for...

    What I was thinking. On reddit some people post the actual values of X skin to recreate it exactly. Sure some corp will require everyone to fly one skin sold by someone in the corp to all be the same. I don't get it either.

    Eve being Eve. Today they patched in the market/paragon to sell skins. Already at least one skin for a quadrillion isk or so if you bought the plex to buy it. Plus a 30% plex tax if you bought it. Assuming there's no listing fee, I hope.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Oddball in Kellys Heros. I saw an interview with him decades ago on Carson and he had polio when he was a kid and one leg was shorter than the other.

    Death and... Taxes.

    Clear with the IRS, for now. Similar has happened before but not this big. A company I had done work for misreported how much and didn't match my 1099s. Took my CPA to figure it out, she literally had to go to the business I had income from that year and compare and get them to show her and they...

    Haven't looked at the skinr. Just found out today you pay plex to make the skin, buy the mats with isk, and then if you sell it there's a 30% tax of the plex. So if you sell for 10plex you get 7plex. Nothing like getting it coming and going.

    Dumb me. I thought the only use for the ESC key was to pull up the settings/options UI or bring up the UI to exit the game.

    Interesting, Non Political News

    Worked for a company just outside San Antonio that was original Pennisula Steel. The owner of several companies bought them in CA and moved them to TX and kept the same and a few of the original family. I guess at one point they fabbed steel there and served CA and outlived their usefulleness.

    Dirt with a significant amount of clay is good for filling holes and then cover with some sort of top soil so stuff can grow.

    One note in the upcoming expansion patch notes which came out today. Ane carriers are getting a boosh/jump module to move cubaps and caps 250km in direction they are pointed.

    At my parents place in MS about an hour and a half from the gulf. Heavy on rain so far this year. Last year they got less than 2" of rain in the second half of the year which is very low when they average about 60" of rain a year. Also was very hot then, up to 107F one day which is way above...

    Thought about starting a new playthrough. Most times I play a martial class and the only caster I've played has been a war cleric. Was thinking sorcerer, any ideas/tips? Was thinking at one time it would be nice if they did an expansion similar to Ice Wind Dale, just a dungeon crawl. Guess...

    I'm 53 and retired. My sister and her husband are now retired. A girl I dated in high school I recently found out is retired. Like a light switch everyone got old at the same time.
