If you do much drywall or tile work I have a one word answer. Mexicans. Seriously. You can't do the shit for yourself cheaper and they apparently are good at it from the womb. That's assuming they are not all in Baton Rouge doing it now. Everything else but roofing I'll do myself, for tile...

About 20 years ago Texas started a campaign against left lane campers. They had ads and billboards everywhere about "not matter how fast you're going, pull to the right if someone is behind you". They really pushed the "you're not the law, stop trying to enforce the speed limit" deal. They...

My motherboard literally melted Sunday night. Smelled something funny and before I could get the case open it was really letting the smoke out. That was interesting. At least my Antec case was not damaged and my drives are OK. On the MB where one of the major chips was pretty scorched, I guess...

The make fiber deals to use on USB that can go on for almost forever. It has a USB connector on each end and then it has fiber the rest of the way and turns it into a fiber usable signal and back again on the other end. Not cheap tho.

Had a talk with a guy running a null sec corp. He contacted me after my post about a corp. So long story short we got to talking more about EQ than anything else. So I will talk to him again in a day or two, what do I need to ask him? What am I in for if I go? Never spent any length of time...

Tails gates is a pretty common deal on trucks if you don't have a locking tailgate. People ding one up and go to the mall and drive around to find another one of the same color to get one. The article I got that from said they got 48 vehicles in one night. They knocked out the power to kill the...

You know what wasn't great? That freaking cleric/shaman/chanter that went LD on ever other pull and it was the same dipshit every raid.

If you join a wormhole corp you live in the wormhole and basically never leave? I assume there's some kind of POS or some such. I quit just as they introduced wormholes and never did anything with them.

Houston dealership. Gone to Mexico now I'm sure.

The guy that had so many corps was in a wormhole. Had a few others, I'm gonna look into it for a few days and then get back to them.

Semi related but I saw uber lost a billion dollars in the first 2 quarters of this year. I don't understand the attraction of those who say you'll be able to request a car that self drives and comes and picks you up and takes you someplace. I mean that sounds nice, until at some point you want...

So I posted on the eve forums, looking for a corp. One guy contacted me and he had been in 11 corps this year lol.

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...

Thanks I tried googleing it and I got some strange results or couldn't word it properly.

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...

Video of someone doing null sec pvp on a 20 day training account if you really just want to jump into pvp.

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.

Misunderstood question.

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...

Not in the healthcare industry, but seems like all my good friends are. I would think one of the biggest draws is it is in demand everywhere. Seems like a lot of options open up having the ability to work with a lot of places to work in. Only reason I bring that up is because a close friend...

For some stuff I'm sure it will be, but someone earlier said in 10 years or some such no more human drivers. I can see lots of uses for autonomous trucks/shipping but a lot of hurdles to overcome to get rid of them all. Hell I have a loading dock at my house for the shop and I want a human I can...

Hated tradeskills, getting my Tolan's bracer for summoned arrows was almost as good as getting the BP with the gate.

Maybe, but the shit we get in has that happen on both ends. All our shit we order comes from across town and they have that same dance of moving shit around park/wait do the dance and shit just to load up then we have to do it again to unload. Just last year I had a semi fall into a canal while...

Autonomous trucking may work eventually in true point A to point B at a wharehouse or something. Lots of stuff I've done in my life and seen that no computer operated truck is going to be able handle now and not for a while. Everything we order at the shop we have to tell the guy where to park...

The review I saw said they did great on the mechanics, they just forgot to add the fun part of the game in. Center of the universe there's a giant dollar sign.

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...

Cajun boys will survive. So bad it's funny. Trump gave $100k to the Greenwell Springs baptist church cause they had a plan in place on what to do with it. Didn't see that in the media much.

I don't think anyone is going anywhere, lot of people are just shacking up till the water goes down. Everyone on my sisters street has already pulled down the sheetrock and insulation. If only light water they snap a line and get the bottom foot so when the water goes down and they get it...

Considering they are stored in Hammond, LA 45 minutes away. No idea. No place to rent, I know that.

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.

Well just going by water that would weigh 2,500 pounds give or take if it was full. So as much as a real small car, or 4 motorcycles at once. You really want that in your house in one spot?

I know guilds that lost a number of corpses in plane of fear. Tried to break in on a Sunday and shit went bad and thru a couple of other bad attempts they never got it back. That's when there was only one guild that could do it and then half of them said fuck it and left the other halves corpse...
