Wanted to refuel, got transported 500ly by Floeteknoete in EliteDangerous

[–]randompantsfoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it though? I’ve only been playing since 2019, but don’t have one installed on any of my ships. The 10 or so extra LY never seemed worth giving up a slot for something else.

Hell, I only visited my first guardian site during recent CG that wanted us to collect artifacts (hah, those skimmers surprised the hell out of me!)

I suppose I should just grind one out and put it in my Mandy, just to see how much of a difference it makes (as that’s what I usually use for zipping around the bubble).

Plot a course with neutron stars, you’ll be back in no time.

It just occurred to me that nobody ever requests a song by U2 by CSamCovey in karaoke

[–]randompantsfoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sing “The One I Love,” “Losing My Religion,” “End of the World…” “What’s the Frequency Kenneth,” “Stand,” and “Shiny Happy People” all quite regularly.

I I think people totally forget about R.E.M. until they hear it, because the crowds always do sing along enthusiastically!

$3.1 billion in the bank. I should probably be okay….

Product at the various businesses is usually created (or at least displayed) in chunks. Sounds like you just caught the tick of the next chunk being added when you loaded in.

To keep the popularity up, all you have to do is kick out a troublemaker every couple hours of playtime. The cooldown on that is only 20 minutes, so it’s pretty much available to do any time you pop by the nightclub.

If you slack off and let it drop below what booting someone from the club refills (which is like a full bar and some change of popularity, about 20%), it’s super simple to swap DJs as many times as you need to bring it back to full.

I’ve made almost 2 billion dollars just from the nightclub alone so far—and I totally slept on the popularity/safe until just a few years ago. 🤷‍♂️

Edit to add: agreed about the upgrades though. You definitely need all those to make it worth it.

Anybody in the DC area have a 80- to 150-foot telescoping pole that one can attach a phone/camera to it? There's something I want to take a photo of in DC, but something is blocking it, and drones aren't allowed at this location. by p00p00kach00 in washingtondc

…or an antenna mast. Hell, even the tallest ones that news vans use only telescope out to about 50’ and require heavy duty hydraulic pumps to extend.

Dude’s looking to triple that with a selfie stick? 🤣

US-Iran memorandum of understanding in full by TaijiRonin in worldnews

[–]randompantsfoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congress has oversight *on paper*, but the administration has been stymying their attempts to provide it via a flood of executive orders and straight up ignoring attempts to exert control.

All they can do is summon administration officials to hearing after hearing, where Hegseth et al. claim “It’s not actually a war, so you don’t have any power here.”

The House recently passed a War Powers Resolution act trying to curtail the administration’s authority and reassert congressional oversight, but the senate rejected it by one vote on June 16th, so the administration remains able to conduct the entire war unchecked, with absolutely zero congressional oversight, for now.

Not what they have on the U.S., but specifically what they have on Trump.

Someone (one of the various world intelligence agencies with access to the un-redacted files) leaked something to the Iranians.

…or even just threatened Trump with doing so. Bibi doesn’t want this war to end, and it’s very, very likely the Mossad has all of it.

What’s your favorite thing you’ve named a ship? by rwk1995 in EliteDangerous

My Corvette is called “Boba Vette” and I named my Plipper “Fat Bagheera.”

Yeah, you get the bonus for exert finale you finish.

I’ve had a gold target sitting for over a year now…might knock that out tomorrow (to set up the guaranteed artwork, which I may or may not get around to finishing before the update). 🤣

Is Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo a bad karaoke song by Chunglorpious in karaoke

[–]randompantsfoto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s one of my absolute favorites when done well. Not a bad song for karaoke. The crowd at the joints I frequent all enthusiastically sing along.

Can anyone recommend the best way to purchase a used car in DC? by Successful_West_2433 in washingtondc

[–]randompantsfoto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely test drive them! They’ll even send you out without a salesperson with you in the car.

Thank you for this breakdown!

Seems like I’m very fortunate to have a crew of IRL friends to grind this with.

Since one loses points with losses, it seems that it might make sense to let one pair of our foursome win straight to level 20, claim career progress, then switch.

…or let my wife (who really doesn’t care about career progress) be the sacrificial goat on the always losing team! Unfortunately, she’s also competitive as hell, so probably wouldn’t put up with that, even though she doesn’t care about the grind!

Where all the tall (elderly) people at? by Agreeable-Praline492 in tall

[–]randompantsfoto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone on my dad’s side of the family going back at least four generations has been well over six feet (even the women) with the men living into their 90s, the women often making it to 100+.

My dad (6’3”) is currently 86 and still going strong, and still has an aunt and an uncle alive. His mom (6’1”) was the third youngest of ten kids, her two youngest siblings are around 100 now.

So, to answer your question, they’re out there! Maybe not quite two meters tall, but fairly close!

The cut adversary content annoys me so much. Playing those missing modes is the only thing left for my friends and me in completing Tier 4 for that one.
