    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.

    The Definitive Escape Key discussion thread

    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.

    Guess CCP couldn't decide on the new ships. Skills they are listed as Upwell only and on the new ship tree they are listed as Edencom. Free 7 days plex in new eden store today. Skin design has umpteen skills listed with 17m SP in the section. Someone said yesterday from the video CCP did the...

    Home Improvement

    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. The guy that owned the house and land my parents bought a while back was a timber buyer. He sucked at his job and he needed to "feed the mill" so he cut trees on his own...

    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. The new structures I really don't know enough on that part of the game on resource stuff, but it looks like a giant isk...

    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...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    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...

    Never under estimate how much money you can make off people "with no money" and horny guys. Sometimes they overlap.

    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.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I probably posted before. I have a 2007.5 Z71 with almost 70k miles on it I bought new. Still going and looks near new. Still using my 2000 F250 diesel with 140k miles on it when I need to pull a trailer. First car I paid $400 for it when I was 15. It was a very bad car. Ford Mustang II. But it...

    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...

    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.

    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...
