    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

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...

    Car ?'s

    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...

    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...

    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.
