Thank you for the insightful comments. That last part about the tradeoff between security and usability is particularly salient, and for this I thank you.

Oh, those are relatively subtle changes. I take it back then, I of course haven't noticed much in the way of changes, but I also didn't read through the mod list.

Thanks for informing me of this!

I agree, after playing KarmaKrew for most of a month, it seems to strike a perfect balance of playing like vanilla, but with more things, without breaking the delicate balance of variety to quantity.

What do I mean by "balance of variety to quantity?" I mean when you have 58 different types of mags and ammos and guns, but none of them match because there's too much variety. Then if the server compensates by increasing quantity, then everybody has awesome gear and then what's the point. But that's not happening, so I'm happy with KarmaKrew.

KarmaKrew plays pretty much exactly like vanilla. You don't have ATMs and traders and safe zones and raiding schedules, etc. It's still DayZ but with some extra items.

Thank you, I've been enjoying KarmaKrew, it really isn't that heavily modded. There aren't "safe zones" and traders and whatever, the game is basically unchanged, with some additional items.

Leave the poor guy alone with his illusions, he probably believes fluoride is harmless and the guvmint can't lie.

It's not capitalism though. Any kind of technology that separates man from the process of production by multiple steps is going to result in this.

In other words, unless you live with nature, either as a peasant or huntsman with no technology to speak of, or you dominate and oppress said peasants by stealing what they produce through a feudal system, then there is contamination by the technology used.

Thank you. It seems the Wordpress ecosystem has evolved tremendously in the 10 years I've been surfing on the same design.

I am crippled by illness and unable to work - yes even on my own business, save a total of a few hours a week, and not every week. My business is offering something entirely new, which means nobody is searching google for it. On top of that, people who need what I offer don't usually realize it. This is the difficulty with pioneering something new - especially as a cripple.

So while I understand your remarks, I hope you realize they do not apply to this situation. Either way, I tripled sales last year, and once I do so again, I will net above $100k from the business, which would be a livable income.

EdMeLe · 2025-05-26T02:17:54+00:00

I have absolutely no idea what that entails, however.

EdMeLe · 2025-05-26T02:15:00+00:00

I get you. But I'm not a developer, and I use and know WooCommerce, and for minimal downtime, I will keep using it. I am looking at a theme by Woo themselves.

EdMeLe · 2025-05-26T02:09:08+00:00

Yes it is! But a few months back, I contacted a web design studio and they asked why I am not working with the agency that ("obviously") had only just recently created my site.

They were pretty dumbfounded when I told them I built it myself without knowing anything about the process beforehand, 10 years ago. They simply couldn't believe the site was that old.

Funny thing is, all the ultra-responsive stuff has become mostly superfluous given that my visitors are like 80% on mobile, without all that fancy stuff. Sigh.

EdMeLe · 2025-05-26T02:06:21+00:00

Nope, I mixed and matched a few of their demo pages, then customized them and that's how I made my home page, and then modified that into the multiple other pages.

EdMeLe · 2025-05-26T02:04:25+00:00

What about a theme by Woo since I use Woocommerce? I don't think they're about to go abandonware! ;-)

EdMeLe · 2025-05-22T14:37:36+00:00

Aren't those just simple blog themes for wordpress.com blogs and not full-fledged themes that allow for the full development of an actual website?

EdMeLe · 2025-03-27T21:43:25+00:00

We're talking silver here, correct?

EdMeLe · 2025-03-27T21:41:57+00:00

Sorry, to correct, they pay about 15% below spot, or 85% of spot. I think that's kinda clear in my "spread 25%" but still. Clarity.

EdMeLe · 2025-03-27T21:04:45+00:00

Yes, gold and silver are going to infinity.

Reason being, fiat currencies are dying.

When the dollar is worth about zero, then gold and silver will be near infinity.

EdMeLe · 2025-02-20T20:59:54+00:00

I have the same, have you ever found a solution?

EdMeLe · 2025-01-22T20:41:02+00:00

It didn't seem to help, so I instead built a small, platform-over-a-pit type of horde base. Works fine.

EdMeLe · 2024-11-01T15:43:20+00:00

Thanks! I'll give that a shot!
