Isn't it funny how a mother-sauce style tomato sauce has fairly little in common to what most tomato sauces (especially the ones used with pasta, which is probably the most familiar use) look like?

Another year, another new thread. Has there been any sort of announcement for when we will see the last two t3 destroyers hit the testing server?

Jackdaw (Caldari) is going to hit TQ in early June, same patch as FozzieSov. The ship is on Sisi now, although IIRC it doesn't have proper stats yet and is not flyable.

Hecate (Gallente) is slated to hit TQ in July.

Avocado salsa (guacamole) makes a surprisingly good steak topping. Another great use is steak tacos. You cook up some fajita steak meat with salt, pepper, chile powder and a few other spices, slice in strips (across the grain or you won't be able to chew it) and then slather in some avocado salsa, pico de gallo, and Mexican white cheese.

Wasn't this a major reason for the Baltec Megathron? Can be easily used by profoundly drunken fleet members.

The main advantage of EVE is that, sometimes, the pin equivalents start making very confused and incoherent demands that they be protected from balls coming down the lane, because it's totally unfair that just because they chose to be immobile targets, they get knocked over all the time.

It's an endless source of entertainment.

Also notable historical propaganda:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdJqBBb4yO4

EDIT: context for this video is as follows (from my hazy recollection as someone not terribly involved): after former CEO Karttoon disbanded the alliance (welp), Goonswarm reformed as SOLODRAKBANSOLODRAKBANSO[LODRA] after Goonfleet.com forum dictator Solo Drakban. We promptly lost Delve, which we had wrested away from BoB the previous year, and spent some time in Outer Ring scraping together a living until TCF let us crash on their couch in Deklein. We launched an invasion of Cloud Ring to fight against Ev0ke, a weird German alliance that literally had neo-nazis among their membership (like, 1488 references in their character bios and poo poo). Goons were forbidden from implying that Ev0ke were literal nazis (even though they were) on the Eve-O forums because of some really knee-jerk :qq: YOU CAN'T SAY GERMANS ARE NAZIS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE GERMAN THATS RACIST :qq: sentiment (despite the fact that actual literal nazi sympathizers were in Ev0ke).

Then this poo poo propaganda video from Ev0ke was released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGGbsCkViUg

The gauntlet had been thrown. NOBODY out-propagandas Goonswarm et al.

Every single fleet comp in modern GSF history has been designed for use by people who are either profoundly drunk or profoundly retarded. That covers most of our bases. The times that we try to do things with more than 3 active modules, or god forbid proactive cap management, it's a disaster.

(IIRC one of the downfalls with welpcanes and heavy welpfleet was goons capping themselves dry running the neuts too long. "OK we need to get out now, mwd away from the bubble." *majority of fleet can't turn on mwd* *everyone dies to bombs*)

Because goons are pretty much the roman empire of eve in the amount of power they have.

The best part about being a goon in EVE is ignoring strat op pings to poo poo around in syndicate. Also getting bored of your solo roam, picking a lovely fight, losing your ship, and getting enough SRP to buy two.

Do you maybe need to make your incarna character appearance? Push the button that looks like a t-shirt on the station panel (or walk up to the mirror in the CQ and click on it).

Guacamole is greatly under used as a condiment, probably because of its relatively short shelf life. Try it on a club sandwich with toasted bread. Amazing.

Same thing with Hummus. When I joined swoleswarm, I gave up mayonnaise, and, much like the addict and his discarded bottle, thought life lost some of its brightness and shimmer. Until I found out you swap hummus or guacamole for mayonnaise and it's 99% as effective.
