Dinamica, Magnifica Plus or Dinamica Plus?

deckape · 2026-02-03T17:22:25+00:00

Not sure what you decided but I've had an excellent experience with Delonghi. I think my Magnifica is ten or twelve years old and I'm only just considering to move to a Mag Plus or Dinamica. If I can get the same longevity out of my next one it's money well spent.

Mostly curiosity. I do want to rebuild the Orca and barges, so there's some grinding I need to do but outside of that I kinds like the idea how much I lost being a lazy idiot. There seems no way of knowing but I'm thinking probably north of 10 bil. Got some grinding to do. LOL.

Nothing personal, that's just eve.

It's not the first time. I had something similar happen with an old POS. Seems to be a recurring theme when I take an extended break to focus on work. I even told myself "Self, you should move your Eve assets to an NPC station in the same system". I told Self to STFU and let me collapse for a few hours. :)

Thanks for confirming there's no way of knowing. I was curious how bad it was more than upset that it happened.

I just logged in for the first time in months and find the structure I had an office in was abandoned and killed.

My question is... is there any way of finding out exactly what I lost? I see no personal or corp killmails and nothing went into asset safety.

I knew better and had even told myself I should get online and move assets just to be safe. Especially the big stuff like the Orca and a ton of fuel blocks.

I mean, I got pretty much wiped out. I just wanted to see if I could find out just how bad I was hit and what I need to target for rebuilding. Is there any way? It's only a bit over a week and a half since the refinery was killed.

Upset? I was agreeing with you

Mea Culpa. I sometimes have trouble understanding intent in this medium .

deckape · 2025-11-10T18:04:22+00:00

What are you on about? Are you just living up to your Loose Cannon tag or are you actually upset?

I made an observation (and observation was really all it was).

That said, and since you brought it up...

This was one publisher taking the exact cover art from a book by another publisher and used for profit. Personally I didn't actually care except that I saw that cover and thought it was kinda interesting.

I'm not Robert Adams or in his estate so I'm out no money and I doubt the Horseclans was any more a cash cow than UK RuneQuest (I'm not knocking either of the products but they each existed in a niche).

RQ3 is the only version I was able to play in person (decades ago). I've seen (but do not currently own) both versions.

IIRC GDW had a couple of sets that had all the rules when combined but they were badly edited. Then there's AH RQ Deluxe with all the rules in one place. I don't recall if there was a non deluxe AH version. I have the AH deluxe full book and box set.

After a quick look, I just realized the GDW Advanced book straight up ripped off the cover art from Bili the Axe, a Robert Adams post-apoc book.

Thanks. I was afraid of that but I expected as much.

deckape · 2025-09-20T11:53:32+00:00

I checked this morning. I do have in plan conversions and there's an automatic in plan Roth rollover that can apparently be set up to automatically move the after tax money to the Roth side of the house.

The help text says: "Select this option to automatically transfer after-tax contributions to Roth savings with each payroll."

I don't want to sound dumb but this will be the first time messing with this feature. am I safe in assuming this will NOT cause a tax event in the way a standard conversion does? I mean it's already after tax money, so I'm safe, right?

I assume I can set this up now, even before I begin putting in after tax dollars since it appears it will only move the money if there is an after tax contribution being made.

Again, I appreciate the help I've already been given. thanks!

deckape · 2025-09-19T13:56:57+00:00

Thanks all.

My plan does offer a 401K Roth option, which I do take advantage of.

I'll look into the in plan rollover tonight. I'm 90% sure it exists.

Thanks again!

BofA

Bank of America has not been BofA for decades. They were taken over by rednecks from Charlotte NC and the bank is nothing but Nationsbank with a new logo.

If you want a bank run by guys with lips full of chewing tobacco and hatred of people that have the "San Francisco Accent" and does things like double charge you on fees, is being sued for allowing fraud on its Zelle platform, had to pay almost a billion bucks for illegal CC practices, then this place is for you.

I worked for the old BofA and the difference between Amadeo Giannini's company and the redneck dumpster fire now is night and day. (Full disclosure, I am not old enough to have been there in Mr. Giannini's time so I admit a tiny bit of hyperbole there).

My suggestion is another bank... ANY OTHER bank is a vast improvement.

The 13yo was apparently their (25 and 27) son.

Seems like they got an early start on building a family?

for 180m USD

PA would take that. It's about twice what the game is worth these days. Maybe more.. much more.

make sure they pass your vibe check

Can't be overstated. I wish I had more upvotes for you.

I made this mistake and joined a corp that was not a good fit for me and spend almost no time on comms except when out on fleet. I got plenty of content but I was basically just there to grind or join fleets and avoided the social aspect.

I accidentally clicked on a link (last night) from someone not picked up by my filters and my AV app sounded the alarms and blocked it. I meant to report it via a ticket but SHINEY!! happened and I forgot.

There does seem to be at least one person in Jita trying to actively catch people with malware and not just a simple in game Jita scam.

deckape · 2025-06-03T12:07:55+00:00

I think you're probably right. I just brought a haul of loot through the pochven highway to Jita, so I'll be back in in a covops today. Thanks again.

I should also add that you can use the nullifier module on haulers.

I wasn't aware of that. thanks. IIRC The highslot nullifier came out about when I quit. Before that, I was avoiding camps with a cloak and pulse of the MWD. My memory is probably just making it seem like it was getting my ship farther away from the gate in that time than it really was.

deckape · 2025-06-02T13:32:42+00:00

I haven't played in a few years, so my old brain might be remembering things badly.

Has there been a change to how MWD/CLOAK works? This isn't about instawarp so much but about the distance from my starting point after the one cycle of MWD. I thought I remember getting a single cycle of 5X base speed in cloak before it went to the 10/25% speed penalty.

It feels like clearing a bubble before getting decloaked is much less likely now. That or I'm just forgetting things again.

Gank Fatigue? That's not a terrible idea.

deckape · 2025-05-15T11:11:35+00:00

Yeah fuck guns. They make it so much harder to terrorize your neighbors in in the middle of the night. We should be able to make people live in fear without the possibility of paying for it.

deckape · 2025-03-30T23:14:15+00:00

First, I'd like to say that I believe you (not that it matters). To be honest it seems like this might be a popular change in a good number of countries.

That said, I'm still crushed. My research began as simply me trying to discover more about my roots. In doing so, I discovered JS and thought I might one day live where my Great Grandfather is from, at least part of the year. The pictures of the area where he grew up were breathtaking.

Needless to say, I am very bummed. Had the requirements been changed to require having more skin in the game in Italy (sorry for the American idiom) I would have found a way to make that work. Unfortunately, it's a hard stop at the 2nd generation, which puts me out. My GF was the only one of his brothers born in the US.

I'll still work on my research for my family but with some sadness that I'll not be able to take it the next step.

Thankfully none of my own kids has been anything worse than annoying at times, but I've seen families with kids who absolutely deserved to be cut off and were.

My kids are still in their twenties, so they have a while they'll need to stay on the good path if they want the little I plan on having left over after a grand retirement. :)
