    Damn, cut to the bone. Who knows might be tasty. Every other week I read about some insect food saving the world from starvation. Never know about spiders. Saw something about roaches last week.

    Looks like Eve Online copied a bunch from PoE. They're introducing PVE instances with effects for each instance much like maps mods.

    Only so many ideas to go around in games I guess. Eve online announced today at fan fest they are having an abyss expansion with items to randomly modify properties to ship modules like vaal orbs.

    Kind of the opposite. Cried about Russia for so long now it's to the point a lot of people don't listen to anything they say.

    Not house plants, but everything is out now. We have a bunch of wild strawberries here and picked up a bucket of them yesterday. They're pretty good, not as good as raised domestic ones and not as big by a bunch. But still pretty good. Also the blackberries are getting close and my muscadines...

    Health Problems

    Had blood work and a sonogram/ultrasound (whatever they call it) of my abdomen last year. They contacted me and told me they would pay to have it retested elsewhere since they had an audit. Doesn't sound good. I realise they don't keep blood work around, but apparently the hospital doesn't keep...

    Well lights from a city are another deal entirely, the biggest complaint I hear locally is people literally can't turn off the niehgbors outside light or their own security light.

    Star gazing is like a lot of other things. You can spend $50 or spend $25k. Worst part is some people see astrophotography done with a $25k setup and think they can get a really cheap scope/mount/camera and produce the same results. When you get into astrophotography much the price can go up...

    I like looking at what they call the faint and fuzzies. You can get some reallyl incredible views with relatively small telescopes on the brighter stuff. The faint and fuzzier the larger the scope works better. You let your eyes settle into the dark and have a relatively dark area you can some...

    You use a reflector of size, say 8" or larger and you can see really start to see the deep sky stuff. Here's some examples of what you can actually see as opposed to images over multiple days and multiple hours of explosure. Sketching - Cloudy Nights What peopel actually see on specific...

    I look thru a telescope quite often. Just posted in here about grinding a new mirrior at the moment. Have two now. A refractor i don't use much and a 10" reflector for deep space viewing which is pretty nice and the part I enjoy. Not big on planetary stuff. If you live someplace you don't have...

    HELP! My arms are about to fall off. Been grinding on a 16" telescope mirror the last few days. Had the mirror blank for a long time and decided to work on grinding it. I have about 8 hours into grinding so far. I'd go out and smoke a cigar but pretty sure my arms won't work to lift the cigar lol.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    There was a big ad campaign by the state of TX 20-25 years ago that no matter how slow/fast you are going it doesn't give you the right to enforce speed limits. They ran TV ads and billboards for a while. Maybe they need to start ticketing dipshits for it again. They would have TV ads of some...

    The biggest issue right now is size and availability. You can get really small crawfish, but the spillway is really bad off with water right now. Guessing the crawfish in a lot of places are farm raised. I've never bought farm raised so no idea how they are doing.

    Good deal. Crawfish season expected to suffer due to high water in the basin right now from floodwater coming down the MS river. Blah. I haven't had old bay in a long time tho. Great uncle lived on that stuff. I don't think he ate anything without it.

    Several items in t he hotfix. Here's one that stood out. Fixed a bug where the "Create a Levelling Item" recipes would apply their mods to any item base.
