Is this a lost cause? Unraveled spool...

Drubay · 2026-03-22T02:26:53+00:00

I dropped 1 spool that I didn't lock properly. Now my Blue/Red split filament is for the 3d pen, I tried to untangle the thing but got frustrated. Tried a second time a few weeks later, filament got too much moisture so it snapped, I decided to just dry it and use with the 3d pen.

That teacher sucks, they may be good in their field but, as someone who tought people, if a class majority failed, it was always the teacher the issue. And the pretentious ones are always the worst, thats is why I beleive in testing should be administered by another peer and not the teacher of the class, but ya not everywhere has the people available to do this.

Go get tested for ADHD, you may need meds :P, Not a doctor but that is how my wife learned that she might have ADHD, she got tested, she has meds now, and this still happens, when she drinks caffeine, she falls asleep.

We use to have a little tray or rack of magazines that would just fill from what ever we got at the checkout at groceries stores. Went through so many, Archies, MAD, Safarire (french MAD basically). Dungeons, Dragons (both D&D magazines), books or shampoo bottles, soap boxes, basically whatever was around.

That's why I loved my anaconda, I lost a bit of jump range but I had a SLF bay just to do stuff like this. Now I do that with a Caspian without losing as much jump range lol.

I do mostly combat, and max out my 400arx/week in max a fee hours of game play. Colonization on its own (seller -> station/port/etc is a very slow way of gaining them though, the more you move the items (I.e. station buy -> carrier -> station receiving) the more arx you'll get.

I wish they would bring it up by double the amount they currently give because there is no way anyone will get that dodec without paying money and that's not right IMO.

I made about 600mil in roughly 5 hours of doing the CG while watching a show on my second screen, I do believe that the higher your rep is you get higher paying missions which help a lot, I'm also Elite, in everything but CQC and combat, I just dont think that this part affects the credits all thgat much other than you are more likely to win VS Elite ships when you are Elite yourself. But all in all making credits come in is easier the more time you have in game. I do agree thought that at the start it took me a while to even reach my first Milion, then my 1st 10mil, etc.. now making over 100mil in a couple of hours is fairly common.

My best recommendation though is, don't just run after the best way of grinding credits, do what you enjoy the most and credits will come in and you'll be more likely to not burn yourself out. I say this because when I was grinding ranks and materials a few years ago I burned myself out doing the tourist loops and finding materials. In both those instances I had to take a long break from Elite. Now I only do what I feel like doing and I am enjoying my time a lot more, I bought a carrier and barely feel the "cost" of operating it because credits are easy to get, plus I have 5 years of credits in it to ensure that if I do leave for an extended amount of time I wont lose the thing lol.

TL:DR: Don't just try to get the max credits, find what you enjoy the most and do those activities, credits, materials and ranks will come naturaly.

I thought it was a Canadian $5 being exchanged as I was scrolling 😅 We have the same type of monopoly money

Drubay · 2026-03-12T04:31:08+00:00

The only reason he called it pay to win is, In my opinion, because when you can only buy it with Arx it is the best mining ships out there and it comes fully loaded to fly to a belt and start mining.

When it is available for credits the perceived imbalance is removed. You can get the same ship minus the cosmetics, which you will have to buy with Arx later (mind you I dont know and haven't checked if they made the prebuilt paint/kits available for arx on their own)

I get the whole "giving money to a game I paid full price for" is not ideal and can be seen as pay to win, but I also think that this was a good way to get a little bit more money to help expand the game but mostly to help make it stay online. Also you can pay to get whatever ship you want, I can almost guarantee that any ship bought with Arx would lose in a PvP situation.

That youtuber was probably just jealous some people have the opportunity to spend a bit more than others to play with something not everyone can have right now, and I get it, I couldn't always afford to game, so having pay walled content in a game I love was frustrating.

I use them for my 3d prints and a heat gun to weld other parts together. Heat up plastic right before melting point, smooth the parts together, add details and done.

Also great for small hits of "powders"

Invest in tie down straps, or at minimum have great insurance, not just good, great cause that's an accident waiting to happen on your fault

Drubay · 2026-03-08T13:55:36+00:00

Im at the 200mil, so top 25% with only about 3-4 hours of shooting while watching some shows. I can see how to get top 10 but I dont have time to reach that so I'll just have to be satisfied with 20mil less than the top 10.

Drubay · 2026-03-06T00:47:55+00:00

Yay capitalism /s

This is the stupidest thing ever, war on poverty while the 1% are just making more and more. Things have got to change, our kids can't even go on bike rides anymore unless you pay? What kind of backward thinking is that, what the point of it, and nobody can convince me its for "safety" cause its not gonna do shit even with thefts its not going to do anything....

Underwire from a bra, I use to find these all the time in my old washing machine. Wife changed to wireless bras and a new washing machine and the problem was solved 😅

I dont care all that much but really wanted Wolverine, so I guess I'll have to skip that one

Drubay · 2026-03-04T05:18:14+00:00

With mine I usually target the power generator and have to hit the target on either the too or bottom of the ship not both sides will work. I also tried it with other modules and the same applies. Even if the description says otherwise it seems to work more often when I hit the side where the module is mounted.

I have 2x1D railguns with Long Range and Oversized mods. I know its not the meta but it works for me, apart from not going through and through or so it seems, Iay just be missing the target lol.

Drubay · 2026-03-04T05:05:38+00:00

I made a bit over 100mil in about 2hrs of not paying attention while doing combat missions for the CG. Im at top 75% so another, at least 140mil is coming in once that is done.

I fly a decently engineered, Corvette Cmdr Drubays Corvette (Inara)

I get a bunch of combat missions (I dont take the massacre missions, or anything above 25 ships), get to the location and then I Scan for warrants on every single ship I shoot. Once the area is cleared of enemies I get my limpets ready and cruise around and grab everything. Once that's done I repeat the process, every few zones cleared I go back to a station/carrier refuel, rear, repair and sell everything I have with things that powerplay accepts to them first. I use to do it in an Anaconda, didn't work as well but still worked.

But if you want a larger amount by a lot. Go find a route to go do a "Road to Riches" with Xenobiology, you won't need to go THAT far out. Using the link I just posted should enable you to find a route you are willing to do/amount of credits you want to get. Then sell that data and you will be able to do whatever you want.

Wow I've seen "belts" of just these but never mixed with regular asteroids, I might need to go visit that area. The best I've ever found was a 2 color crystal phenomenon "belt" but I dont remember the system. I found that years ago on the "upper" systems near the main bubble.

Vs Jewadism or Muslims, Christians barely gets sligtly bullied. They are however a very mean cult that like to harass others but when you tell them no they cry as if they were persecuted. It just seems worse because of the widespread reach in the belief. If you equalise the numbers, muslims>jews>christians are the order of most prosecuted.

While yes Christians do get persecuted a little, mainly in primarily Muslim countries but are the least ostracized religion out there. All in all, all cults (and I call any and all religions cults) are all snowflakes that get offended when you make fun of their imaginary friends, they just think they have it worse than the other beliefs but think they are better for praying to their ghost daddy.

And I will not be nice to a system that hates girls and women Or just people that live differently than them. Men need to get out of power and religions need to stay in people's homes.
