    CitizenCon 2021 official schedule

    Answering a probably rhetorical question... Yeah, it's not. It's like a 14th c spelling that stuck around. The route from Latin makes sense but it came to England via the Holy Roman Empire - so what we know as Germanic countries, not Italian, French, Spanish. There was also a strong...

    DUNE

    Hm... HBO Max premium isn't too expensive. $14.99/month. Both my wife and I can watch Dune, get real drinks and eat infused popcorn at less than half the price of us both going to the theater even if that's all we watch.

    Good point. lol, despite what many people think, none of the S's in SMS stand for "security".

    DUNE

    Oh, it looks like they took out the third person narrative that belonged in the book but not a movie and made it first person? That's great! But I'm going to have to wait for PPV, Netflix, HBO or something. I have no desire to go to a theater for anything right now, and it has nothing to do...

    Deep Recon Scout Ship?

    Listen, it was just a little advice between two Terrapin guys... and a Terrapin is kind of shy. Doesn't like even to be watched. I also have a Prospector in my harem though. It is a little more exciting sometimes, especially when we're working o.O. (Just to spice things up a little we can...

    Deep Recon Scout Ship?

    A little advice. Terrapins are somewhat delicate, but you can treat them a little rough sometimes. Once you get the door open, make sure you stop on the way in and play with the radar HUD a little before making the thrust to the pilot seat. Don't hold back, but make it last.

    CitizenCON2021

    I am not amused, but not entirely surprised. You certainly want to make sure any passwords you use are secured, and use a third factor, like a fingerprint or other biometric scan, or a one time code sent to your cell phone - it's annoying to be sure but it's safe. Something you have, Something...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    But they won't be dying of infection caused by parasitic worms during the pandemic. I would almost give odds that at the root of this is fear of needles. There's good news for them because a couple of new anti-viral drugs in pill form (not vaccines, they don't try to prevent infection, just...

    Full manned stolen Idris vs AI Idris fight - player control turrets

    It's open to opinion, so take your pick. Lorville reminds me of Houston or TO, right down to the thousand year old rails for the city train system. microTech reminds me of Edmonton mostly but a little like Vancouver, so I see where that might come from.

    Upcoming Subscriber Flairs (Updated regularly)

    They're $3.00 US per pack... so it would be cheaper to go Centurion and buy two... It would be even cheaper to wait for a bit and see if they start showing up in game. If they do, great... if they don't you might be able to just send someone 9 bucks and save the price of the subscription...

    Full manned stolen Idris vs AI Idris fight - player control turrets

    Wasn't a bad movie btw, but it's a remake of the 1974 original. "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun" is more true in Hollywood than anywhere else.

    New PC testing and stress testing should I be concerned?

    You know, I think NaffNaff and Surely have just identified why North Americans often have problems with British humor.

    You need to move to a more expensive neighborhood, my friend... then you could afford all these luxuries.

    Full manned stolen Idris vs AI Idris fight - player control turrets

    I have a few kids that would argue with you about that. I'm not really fond of the style myself, because it makes grey matter ooze out my left ear. But the instrumentation in that is actually pretty good.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I think politicians in the US got this pandemic mostly wrong. It still doesn't care if you're Republican or Democrat, (or Conservative, PQ, Liberal or NDP in Canada). What it cares about is if it can infect you. And it appears Delta doesn't even care if you're vaccinated, though vaccination...

    Concierge improvements imminent

    I think so. All I have to do is click this "Amazon Pay" button that shows up to put ships in my buybacks in my hanger again. I even checked my wallet. I still have the $25 lunch money in it that I had before.

    New PC testing and stress testing should I be concerned?

    It sounds like you should be good to go. Out of all the work, the build probably took less than an hour. The rest was testing, which can be done unattended, even including cold start testing. That's when a system is most likely to have an early failure.
