After reading an unreleated thread I have determined that Derek Smart puts "salad cream" on his ham sandwiches and I intend to continue this investigation over the next few weeks.

I always assumed salad cream was a just name for mayonnaise from a culture that wasn't good at naming things

like "brown sauce" or "spotted dick"

Hi everyone

After contacting Frontier forums regarding them providing a platform for Derek to promote his FUD I finally received a response

http://imgur.com/a/kTuMq

I submitted my original complaint on 15th October 7:00pm exactly with an updated post at 7:15 same day, I can provide these as well but it was several pages and basically noting what Derek has done which we all know so well.

3 Weeks for a response which according to the support form should have taken no more than 48 hours with what I would consider a basic response.

But this allows us to report any of Dereks post on the Frontier forum that break their rules which according to them has a zero tolerance policy in that thread (which I know they have not been keeping to, as the thread is constantly derailed with FUD and not actually discussing the game and only the Drama surrounding it).

Feel free to link this image in any report to Frontier Forums Moderators.

Meh. Resurrection was a decent enough silly French monster movie. Its main problem was that they tried to make it part of that particular franchise, only to make the boss monster a particularly silly baby. Also cloning. :D

In defense of sc, Montoya tries to illustrate how them going back on their word (it's fine because they do it all the time?) is just normal development. To do this he draws a dick... starts around 3:00 mins in.

Oh and he does all this by using a pretty ardent sc defenders thread and then yelling about how he's a special snowflake bitch or something. This is of course totally acceptable on the sc forums.

But yeah the elite forums are hosed up for not insta banning people who aren't precisely on topic regarding sc...

You can't go to jail for endangering someone's health like that, but there is technically attempt to do harm though it's not necessarily malicious.

The U.S. Navy can't fire its awesome new gun that can hit a target more than 70 miles away because the rounds are costing the service nearly a million bucks a piece.

Just a couple weeks after the Navy commissioned its most advanced warship, the USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000), the service says it won't be buying any more of the guided precision munitions the ship's Advanced Gun Systems uses, called the Long Range Land-Attack Projectile (LRLAP).

The 155mm round is "the most accurate and longest-range guided projectile" in Navy history, according to Lockheed Martin. It's also one of the most expensive, with the price of each round costing roughly $800,000 to $1 million, for a total cost of around $2 billion if the service purchased its planned buy of 2,000 rounds, Sam LaGrone of USNI reported.

The Navy wasn't expecting the exorbitant cost when it first began producing the advanced Zumwalt-class destroyers.

It originally planned to build 32 of the stealth ships, but cost overruns led the service to eventually reduce the number down to just three. That reduction in the number of ships also led the cost of its ammunition to rise, Defense News reported.

I like that he's somehow spinning the response as a win for them, when it's literally just "why did you ask about Line of Defense? Just report posts if they break the rules you idiot" and undoubtedly every single post by Derek gets reported anyway whether it's breaking the rules or not.

I was watching that Sevadus twitch stream from a few thousand pages back (Yesterday?).

Besides the obvious poo poo goign down in the video.

The asteroid hangar has a control room that is only accesible by elevator and it has freakign machine parts hanging from chains.... Because if you are going to work on engines and stuff you want to shlep it as far away from whatever vehicle it is you are working on. This is an example of stupid design. hey let's make the room look like it's used/grease monkey office.

A hat is 200 space credits. A machine gun is 1800? It's like if a hat costs 20 dollars (typical cap price?) a machine gun costs 180? It is so drat dumb.

The NPC clerk has a shirt over his naked body skin.... WHY the gently caress would you do that? Why would you put a model on top of a model? It's like Poser levels of dumb. So of course it's going to clip through when he moves because the vertices aren't the same. You dumb idiots. probably has fully verticed man areola's under that shirt too.

just right there you're looking at over $16k/m to clear your basic expenses

that's about $200k a year, just for your house and cars

you'd need to make around $800k/y to make that feasible

Look up the story about the woman who died after her skin grafted to her couch. Six years of sitting on the couch... I believe two people were eventually charged with some type of negligence. So you can be charged--but it has to go pretty drat far...
