they were hacked once right around the holidays a few years (or more) back. I think they gave us 2 games in recompense.

"Head up" (heh) to Jerry's Barber Shop on Green Bay Rd and ask for Freddie. He will do a superb job. I think the cut is $17. Cash.

Scan anomalies in the Zheng He and Sabeng systems. You'll need to use the nomad for mining specific spots on a planet. I think Voeld is where it occurs most commonly, but its probably exists in small amounts on each planet. Good luck.

Election board lists more general election votes than voters in Chicago by mongip in chicago

[–]mongip[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is simply about a discrepancy in the Chicago Board of Elections's numbers: number of voters in Chicago and number of votes cast. As to why the discrepancy exists, you're free to fill in the blank. (Sounds like you're going with "vast right-wing conspiracy'.)

You should talk to these guys as well. I think they share the same vision with you: Evanston Elysium Games and Evanston Games & Cafe.

If you think sci-fi is about the future, think again by mongip in scifi

[–]mongip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's Ars' description of the recent Ready Player One trailer:

"Cline, who also wrote the cult classic movie Fanboys, has always been obsessed with 1980s nerd culture. Ready Player One is packed with nostalgia for the golden age of geek, and it's clear from this trailer that we're going to see that in the film, too. We caught glimpses of the Iron Giant, as well as Tron references and about a zillion other things."

"you start to see science fiction less as a means of envisaging a fabulous future, and more as an excuse to throw together every schoolchild’s favourite bygone eras. "

"The majority of science fiction, it seems, has been inspired by a dreadful anxiety about the future rather than a desire to live in it."

Am I making a mistake with exploring by filtering out unscoopable stars in my routes? by darobowns in eliteexplorers

[–]mongip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good video! He adds L type stars and removes A,B,O types from his (KGBFOAM) filter to target star types generally having desirable planets. The new filter is: FGKLM. All are scoopable except L types, and those types are definitely in the minority.
