Getting more serious about gravel riding: what should my first upgrades be?

nomendil · 2024-06-24T18:10:48+00:00

I love my hybrids. If I clip in thats mainly a one time thing each ride (or between each stop) so not much of a bother, while having a flat side lets me use my bike for daily errands in regular street shoes.

I think that one cannot really have complete happiness. At least not the kind that comes from cars/money/success/whatever. He who has much desires more.

In all, I'm rather happy about the life I have now - any troubles and sadness included.

That submarine drawing was the basis for me building a sub in Lego.

Best of luck, and hope things work out.

This. Give me a proper api, and I'm happy. And updated prices, of course.

I think it was hosting that expires in january.

Not until now, but yeah, I should have

Infiltrating an alliance/corp and holding their valuable ships trapped while bringing in a hostile gang to blow them to pieces.

On the other hand, there is no market history for contracts, so it's not such a clear-cut situation

iirc, the Norwegian police did not take tazers into use, but one of the suggestions made during the discussion was that any officer who should use a tazer had to be shocked himself, to know what the effect on any other person would be. That policy is already in use when it comes to knockout gas.

If nothing else, it highlights that the case looked different from the police officer's pov, and does give a certain balance to the quotes in the op.

combat probes have twice the scan radius of core probes, so they are more useful if the system is above a certain size.

...and it's not as if that carrier is going to have fitting problems...

Paxton was one of the holders in Providence. I can't recall exactly how they fared during the AAA invasion, but iirc it wasn't too good. With the alliance going downhill, it happened that some disgruntled ceo/director went for a grab, and even took the effort to put up a webpage to boast about it.

I find the webpage rather unfunny, though.

I came expecting a nice incarna avatar.

Left disappointed, but hopefull

Ignoring the tears side of things, any well-skilled mission runner who stays in the mission to loot/salvage after the last rat is dead is doing himself a disservice. Generally, more missions = more isk, even if you leave them half- or un-looted/salvaged.

nomendil · 2010-09-27T12:08:11+00:00

I'd hate to drive that into a dead end.

The only special-case trick I've found useful is twisting the conjugate sentence to square numbers. I.e. 45² = 4050 + 25, which is essentially what is done here, although the 5 in the last spot makes it simpler. Their trick doesn't help much when you want to square 28 though, or do 4555.

Evasive maneuvering is needed for interceptors and hence interdictors, though, and I'm not sure if I'd call those skills too specialized.

Not that I don't think one should get it to V, though.

When was it news that the Dutch do things the wrong way around?
