There really is no 'beating' a MMO, though you can do things like complete all the PvE achievements, or all the PvP achievements. Make one of everything in Weaponsmith, collect all the assorted recipes, make your top end weapons/armor ... you set your win point. My win point may be entirely different. I like…

Hm. I make a good fruitcake, but I also candy my own peels and fruits. I also make various 'puddings' - figgy pudding and plum pudding both [traditionally, wrapped in cloth and simmered in water for a long long time.] And I make both vegetarian and carnivore mincemeat - I prefer carnivore, using 18th and 19th century…

Not really unethical, that is what places like the lab I work with does, get a bunch of people, give them stuff, and do things with them ... I have done stuff ranging from flu shots [type of injection, type of flu bugs chosen, location of injection, injection with other injections in combination] drugs [guaifenesin -…

I do medical guinea pigging [for fun and profit, I get paid to get medical stuff done, mainly drug and vaccine testing] and *every* time I get a vaccination, I get titres done to confirm the level of antibodies in my blood at certain periods after the vaccination.

LOL this! Back when I was writing contracts, and then dealing with billing violations if I didn't get a contract written, or that check for a million plus cut, it would have been my job.

I do buy the economy plus seat. And as big business seems to think paying someone more than absolute minimum wage is somehow going to bring about the collapse of the world, most of us can't seem to get any sort of income where we can save more. And before you tell me it sucks and I should get a college degree, I…

Speak for yourself. If they turned all economy seating back into what is now economy plus and simply priced it back at the equivalent of economy plus, people would pay. Pointing out that you can already go economy plus is not useful ... it points out how valuless they consider the BULK of the customers at economy. I…

All of this assumes that you have a choice in your sleep position. I can NOT sleep on my back, I am a side or stomach sleeper. To the point of not being able to fall asleep on my back side or stomach sleeper. As in stayed awake in hospital for 36 hours until things were modified to let me sleep on my side or stomach…

So ... how much is the over 2 L tax on that thing going to be?

Cooking on a woodstove is wicked good - in addition to always having a teakettle simmering along for instant cups of tea, a nice pot of soup simmering along makes the place smell wonderful, and you have soup as well! I bought my wood stove specifically to use for cooking in the winter. I just wished my living room…

Back when I was still working, I made a habit of extreme organization. I dealt in contract compliance for a major corporation so at any given time I was working on anything up to hundreds of individual contracts in various stages of completion. I also had a condition that could flare up making me call out of work on…

Sorry, I am a boomer, and the only debt my husband and I have is the mortgage on our house [when we bought at $91 000 instead of the $200 000 or so the real estate people were trying to convince us to spend.] We buy used vehicles when they are off lease, and have no expensive hobbies. We will have the place paid off…

My first car was a 58 Nash Metropolitan that was 3 years older than me =) I bought it in 1977 when I was 16 and sold it 2 years later for double what I paid for it. Never gave me any problems, was still in excellent condition except for a fairly worn driver's seat, so I put seat covers on.

I beta-tested the game, and rolled up my first toon when it went live. I played to level 60, and got up to the moon. I had a forced hiatus thanks to working and didn't get back until just after Cataclysm and the world split, and pretty much every damned zone got fucked up so it was nothing like when I started. Pandas…

You forgot the Improved LA - 688I =)

Valium, get it from your doctor, get on the plain, take one, go to sleep. Really, they have programs for people with plane phobias, and one of the things they can do is to trank you for the flight.

Old school kitty litter, not the scented clumping crap, the old style clay. Also known as *sweeping compound*. Or hell, wander into the freaking bathroom, rummage in the laundry bin for a towel, carry over to spill, drop on and woodge around until it is all soaked up, wander back to laundry bin and toss it in. Take…

And this is why I loved my 79 IH Scout ... I could bypass the entire ignition system, and rig a manual throttle to replace the broken accelerator pedal and drive home to Eastern CT from southern NJ without having to pay for either a tow or garage bill.

Eh, I have my aerogarden growing by my bedside/adjoining my computer desk. It turns itself on at 5 am and of at 11 pm, and produces the best genovese basil. For a sound alarm, I use my smartphone.

As a retired forensic accountant ... I loved playing EVE =) It was just like work, but instead of not being able to bitch people out for being idiots, I could take to the skies and kill their ships then pod their asses for being idiots. Talk about fun =)
