    Sounds great. Marketing can take water from the tap, and make you think it's "clean fresh spring water" that you'd pay for. If I had a shot or pint for every ship in my fleet that hasn't been delivered, it'd be a hell of an event!

    Yeah, I think I'm going to go take a nap instead. 😴💤 I don't quite remember the last time I didn't like that idea. I might have been 5.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    That wasn't for TB. That's the BCG you might have gotten in early secondary school, but they stopped giving in 2005. There is/was a 5, 6 (possibly had 9) punctures vaccine though. It's probably the 10-12 year old vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, Haemophiles influenzae...

    Looks like South Carolina is next :/ We have a friend from North Carolina visiting this week. Some of her family is in South Carolina.

    Thinking of getting a Merchantman

    You said it better than I do. A piece of the argument hits really close to home. @Shadow Reaper Combat adventures and exploration, the like, these are the things that brought me into the game originally - but they're not for everyone all the time. I've said before that not all of us can...

    I've had so many needles I can watch the injection, and not even flinch. Don' wish that on yourself.

    covert military ops

    That's the current wisdom too. I watched this video earlier today. Has some interesting discussion. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6-LCAvMH4A&t=655s That pipeline is close to an inch thick of solid steal, and encased by thick concrete. Not an easy thing to just casually put a...

    covert military ops

    You're right, this had to be done by someone who could bring heavy equipment to the pipes. But this is what happens when the gas has no pressure. It's leaking out because of displacement by water going into the pipe. It would be far worse if the pipeline was operational. If this isn't caused...

    Some thoughts on Player Verses Player when it lacks the "Verses"

    But you do have rating systems hanging over your head. You have a credit score, you have an insurance risk (for every conceivable insurance), you have a tax score for your state and federally - that has a risk assessment attached for every state you work in or inhabit (You seriously don't want...

    Welcome to TEST! My advice right now, would be to wait until IAE. You'll be able to buy some ships that aren't currently available to buy - and save a bit of money sometimes too. What ships you buy are honestly your personal choices... so, like @Raven_King says, figure out what floats your...

    That's Pretty Pink of you there. I had a few friends who were RCD and PPCLI a few decades ago. It's been a while. Welcome to TEST.

    Some thoughts on Player Verses Player when it lacks the "Verses"

    A Prospector is not a physically defendable ship. Every Prospector owner knows this. But with the high risk, also comes high rewards. But it is not worth combat to protect the ore, and it's not worth paying a ransom. So why would you? To save an hour or two? Most miners don't even wear...

    Pyro coming in 2023? Where's my Liberator?

    It is pretty much essential to have a carrier of some kind for Pyro, and I was rolling my eyes but not at you or your comment, but about them -> I also own a Liberator. If there are 2 ships released every month for the next 4 years, they still wouldn't be in a good place, and that's just...

    Pyro coming in 2023? Where's my Liberator?

    More ships than just the Liberator are missing. There's also the issue of NPC's who try to walk into walls, or stand on seats still.

    Depends how you look at it. I have the memory of an elephant, except I often forget where I put them.

    Serious Question

    Good beer works for me. So does copious drinking of very strong coffee. Even better if you mix the two.

    I don't know if this is available for you or what brands or what it's called there - but we have gel that you can put on a toothache, just a bit will do it. Just a drop and poof... no pain. Odd taste in your mouth though, and if you get it on your tongue it'll also go numb. It will work with...

    I do too. Only at one point, I grew a little taller than my hair. edit: I voted Kirk, but I'm told you can also vote for Janeway or 7of9. Welcome to TEST!
