I'll go be poor somewhere else. I have about 35 steam games and maybe 10 of the free epic games.

I looked tonight. Oldest characater was made Feb. of 2008. Caldari Achura Monk because they came out ahead in learning days. I had an older character at one time but I sold it. I guess because of the various changes over the years I have a skill with a few points in that I don't have the...

Conoco Phillips (COP) is buying Marathon oil (MRO) after bidding against another company for a while. Noticed only because there's a Marathon oil refinery right down the road from where I work at times. Hopefully new ownership brings updates and upgrades it's pretty trashy. Their refinery in...

He biggest issue I had when local was flipping out some days your alt next to you in a system wouldn't show up in local but others would. Then the next day nobody would show and then maybe the third everyone including your alt would show. I spend a lot of time in wormholes but at least the rules...

Didn't the contra Cramer ETF fold up because I thought they released he was constantly flip flopping one day he was buy the next sell and then back to buy and they didn't know what to do.

At the hospital to have some blood work done this morning. I couldn't remember my birthday but I could remember it was on my license and dug it out. Lucky I had it I guess as I often don't since it's out of date. Edit - damn today was tough. First the memory thing. Then this afternoon the pain...

For the 20th anniversary CCP said that about a dozen people made their account the first few days and still played and had paid for a sub/plexed the entire time. There was someone last week or so that posted on reddit that had 450m SP and had been subbing since day one and never used an...

Weather channel says still about 250k without power in Houston. Someone posted a pic of a 4 way stop and said it took 40 minutes to get through the intersecton due to no lights. In 1992 after hurricane Andrew we didn't have power for a long time and people took turns directing traffic. Might...

If you haven't played in years you can now swap jump clone implant sets with no cooldown if the sets are at the same location. Just pay the fee and done instantly. CCP released a video and blog on the new SKINR skin making deal coming out. As expected looks like they are going to milk the most...

Houston getting hit hard again. North of Houston in same area near Tomball and such that got it bad when all the power lines went down.

Kind of expect any day to read about Chris Roberts transistioning into "get the hell out" mode. Step down, less visible, sit on his money out of the public eye. Make plans to be gone if and when the shit hits the fan, eventually. From the looks of it he may be buying his own bullshit and ends up...

I missed the entire era. Never used it. No idea. Guess I just didn't have a use for it. Kind of like when smart phones started getting popular. Got my first "cell" phone in 1990, a motorola bag phone so just having a "phone" was not that big of a deal.

80 people still missing. Apparently a lot of people that were traveling on I35 pulled into that truck stop to avoid the storm.

Cobalt spot price is down to what it was around 2014. Lithium is down to about 1/3 of what it was a year ago. I don't know if it's a general slowdown due to the economy or the EV boom is dying. Glad I got paid last year at the peak where Exxon is trying to drill for Lithium in Arkansas and...

When he died he left all his assets and music royalties to St. Jude.

On sale on steam now for $50.99. I would think most people who were interested would have bought it by now.

Stole the pic from Reddit. Same street in Greenfield, Iowa. Before and after the Tornado.

By phone never. I keep my business phone still and nobody but people I've done work with over the years call it. For my personal phone I changed and took the number/sim from my 100 year old grandmother when she died. She never gave out her number and nobody ever calls it. I might get a call...

One of those nights. Was sitting out late on the deck, hot and humid and listening to Ray.

If you believe the governments numbers $55k in 2013 equates to $74k inflation adjusted in 2024. I don't know how much pay has gone up but 20 years ago and more in the line of work I do and those companies I support it was very common for a guy to drive to work in a true piece of shit truck...

My parents lived in a garage apartment when my sister was born. When I was born 7 years later they had a 1400 sq. foot house. When I was 5 they moved to an almost 2,000 square foot house on an acre and lived there till Dad retired. So bought a new home in 1976 which wasn't exactly great for...

I'm becoming a vampire. When I sit on the porch which is rare it's in the shade. The other day I guess the sun got through a tree on a spot on my arm I didn't notice. I put on SPF 50 all over my arms and face before going out. Didn't realise till later that day. This is a few days later, about...

A fair number want to buy a better house in a better location than their parents own right now, first job after a degree. No telling how long their parents took to get there. Even in my old generation I knew a friend that his whole life revolved around having a better job and better house in a...

Sold some junk silver a year or so ago. I had collected it in high school out of what people paid at the cash register. Been reading and more than site always says the price of silver has been going up due to industrial demand. No idea. I know electric cars have a lot of silver in them, but the...

Nevermind, youtube won't allow me to embedd the video here.

Have read a lot about him over years. He was sitll making appearenes and air shows until recently. https://avgeekery.com/wwii-triple-ace-col-bud-anderson-has-passed-away/ With his Mustang “Old Crow”, Anderson served in 2 major combat tours. He flew 116 combat missions in Europe, shooting down...

People used to go to a busy shopping center/mall and find one of a close year and color and then drive off with it in their vehicle. I guess they mostly have locks on them now. Assuming yours damaged the truck as well as the tailgate? Sounds like a scam to get insurance to pay for storying...

Read where someone said they were in Cypress, TX and couldn't see any man made light from top of their interchange. NW Houston near Tomball and such, apparetnly tornado.

They probably fixed a lot of things in the game. They skipped the "fun" department however.

The 5/10s come from low lvl anoms in angel space, refuges instead of dens. My alt uses a sub 2 sec align 450dps ship that the range is further than shit spawns. The refuges are done in less than a minue with rockets. He racks up 3-5 5/10s a day in short order. Like I said they are 43m OPE and...

Guessing after someone you know has a car fall on them it kinda lost it's appeal.

I am going to find a build. I played for about 15 minutes with no real build and then meh think about it later I guess.

5/10 angels escelate from refuges which are everywhere in high sec and I did it with a <300m isk ship in 20 minutes. I used to buy them from new players that couldn't do them but they changed the way bookmark sharing worked killed that. Easy isk from an alt and he does the refuges to get the...

Figure it goes in the "by the time you hear about it, it's too late" category. So Tesla charging station cables cut and stolen in CA, read they did it in Houston the other day. I guess it beats stealing live transformers and shit.

No idea what class to try. I did rogue back then but apparently it didn't get any huge buffs but apparently was in "good" shape to begin with. I'll need to do a little research. The hot thing apparently is necro but I'm not a fan of minions.

Email from CCP today, June expansion is going to have new Upwell hauling ships, for PI I think. I'm not sure really haven't followed it. To give you an idea how out of whack the economy is. On my alt he ran a high sec anomoly to get his 25 rat kills for 10k SP last week. Got a high sec 5/10...

Guess I'm going to give it a go. I played at release a little. Couple of characters to lvl 50 and gave up. Be like playing a new game I never got into it at all.

Getting into the building to see someone is not like it was 25 years ago. Multiple layers of security, a waiting area that is secure from the meeting area, a metal detector and who knows what else. It's not a walk in and have an appoinment type deal anymore. The guy I saw did not think it was...
