The only thing that makes eve online engaging is players interacting with players. Especially at scale. The market/economy is incredible, the high-consequence pvp is both boring as hell and occasionally exhilarating. The metagame is

The very early cooking memory for me is making mince pies. I'd cut out the shaped tops (a variety of christmas trees, stars, bells etc) whilst mum did the bases and filled them and I'd put the covers on and glaze them. Slightly

I WILL CUT YOU In all seriousness, it's partly that I have dumb habits. I highlight text as I read it (and that causes all sorts of idiot pop ups to share the quote on social media etc) and micro scroll up and down even when not act

I particularly hate every idiot who decided that scrolling up meant I was done and wanted your garbage top bar to obscure half the screen (including, no doubt, the stuff I was trying to read).

I agree the specific example is somewhat explicit, but the point being made is valid. Whether it's a subtle choice of words, lack of eye contact, or constant fidgeting. They can all have some additional meaning (or none!). One exampl

There is a point where you realise you don't understand, and are too embarrassed to ask someone to repeat for the fourth time. So you kinda take a guess and move on to something else. It may not be obvious to the other party that you

I have spent about 2 years of my adult life sleeping on the floor. The first week is weird. The second week is better. After that it's just normal. You adapt.

I think the point is that with PCs they make less effort to eek performance out of hardware. When you've got a console, you know exactly what you'll be optimising for and work really hard to get the most out of it. With a PC rel

Yes, doctors here (as, indeed, in most countries) can take cases to court when they believe the best interests of their patients are not being looked after by the legal guardians. And these are not mediocre doctors, nor was this being done

That's not entirely true. If you're actually emergent and require a same day apptmnt then they've got held appointments for you. However this has led to an extremely strange system where often GP receptionists are essential

> 99% autonomous IMO the danger only increases as the autopiloted car approaches 100% coverage asymptotically. As long as there's an expectation for the human to be able to take control I consider the technology worse than useless.

There can't actually be 2 crossrail trains per minute surely? Keeping the tube lines consistently running ~2 minutes apart is barely achieved... Like, I'd be incredibly impressed if they pull it off - I'm just dubious.

I don't know about others, but I for one find myself often at odds with speed limits now that large swathes of London are 20mph as opposed to my stock assumption of 30mph as a lower bound excluding maybe schools. There are signposts.
