Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I was wondering about that as well, so I googled around Russo-Japanese-War and found some mildly disturbing/confusing pictures that could arguably serve to infuriate the russians, not the Japanese.

Dokdo is an island (or group of islets, anyways) which has been de-facto Korean territory for decades (and more like centuries if their records are accurate) but which Japan insists is theirs on the basis that the Korean maps were really referring to other islands or even an island that doesn't actually exist. I'm not sure how Russia figures into it.

During the time when Japan had annexed our country, the islands were used as a staging area for the Japanese during their conflict with Russia.

I was playing around with the graphics settings and I think I've figured out how the SKINs work.

If you're playing EVE windowed right now so you can post like I do, try going into the settings right now and set the shader quality to low. If your toon* is flying an Amarr or Gallente ship, you'll notice the difference right away: all the metallic effects and related specular lighting are gone and you're left with a high-definition matte texture. This is because the shiny metal bits aren't part of the base texture; they're after-effects rendered on top using next-gen shaders. When you buy a SKIN, you're pretty much buying a recolour of your chosen hull with the same shader effects laid out on top. If CCP were to ever get their collective butts into gear and work out a system for custom SKINs, actually making them would be child's play: all you need is the texture map for the hull of your choice and a copy of GIMP. If you were really clever about it, you could do some cool things with the bump map too.

I don't care if they're goons or not, Russian EVE players suck. If they're not spamming in chat, making half-assed attempts at scamming or leaving containers and mobile depots everywhere, they're stirring geopolitical poo poo.

A fight between Japan and Korea over rock islands which are worthless in and of themselves, but which are surrounded by rich fishing waters and (probably) natural gas.

Tonight's dish is piss easy but takes an hour or two of unattended cooking, so I didn't bother taking pictures. TLDR:

* Get some black beans soaking
* Chop up a bunch of sweet potatoes, drizzle with oil and ground cayenne pepper, put on a baking sheet and toss in an oven to roast
* Make a dressing out of tahina, honey, lemon juice, and garlic
* Pull potatos out of oven, put beans in a pot with a bunch of salt, get some rice going in the cooker

Throw all that poo poo in a tortilla with some feta and spinach. loving tasty as hell.

I made this, but added some onions, leeks, and used a little soy+teriyaki sauce 'cause I didn't have tahina. The sweet potatoes were a good call, brought the whole plate together.

A+ would make again.

yank my gank

This one was particularly satisfying, as I was training a :shobon: bumper to bump last night and we caught this guy with 4b in his cargo. After getting 750m in ransom, he got away because :shobon: bumper's fit wasn't cap stable (oops). Today, while getting ready to leave work, one of our FCs pinged me about a dude he had bumped. I raced my bumper over and we both started ransoming him, netting us 1b isk. Then we got to work hyperdunking.

Unfortunately, his friends brought a scimitar and a guardian to the hyperdunk party, and shut that poo poo down. So we formed a fleet, travelling 8 jumps to dunk all over him. The corp dudes shot the wreck, but he's still out 750m + 1b + 1.3b for the hull + 8b for the loot. So, definitely yankin' my gank to that one tonight :feelsgood:

I'm still angry I got banned for calling someone with 1488 in their name a neo-nazi because me calling a neo-nazi out in local might offend someone else nearby. I refused to comply with their warnings/bans and ate like 4-5 bans total over the issue. Then another one for asking the neo nazi if he liked listening to wager while reading nationalist socialist literature.

K. So for shits and giggles I decided to do the newbie missions with an alt I was dual training to be a wh sitter.

They're still pretty bad. Besides the industry one, most of them are still like boil down to go to sector, blow up ships, return. They don't really do much in terms of education. Don't get me wrong, it's still a lot better than it was when I started, but it still feels kinda like not a good enough draw to get people sticking with it.

On the bright side, all the actual new players keep going, "wow mining sucks" so there is a little hope :3:
