>>1106028 yeah I dunno about that situation was under the impression it was fine with ppe but I guess the industry at large turned a blind eye so bad that everyone affected just flat out got it banned
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah pretty much lax enforcement was endemic i don't know if it was due to machismo or due to bosses pressuring workers to work faster, probably a combination
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
also apparently some types of engineered stone are flat out dangerous to cut even when wearing proper PPE basically artificial asbestos

I bought some ore for 30 million that, when compressed, will net me somewhere in the range of 130 million compression is free I just gotta pay someone a bit to haul it for me later

>>1106079 The theme of making a building in house flipper was "dinner" So NL made a mcdonalds
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
it was dinner?? vinny's didnt have anything to do with food its all simpsons references
well, all my shit is in highsec now at least, except that ore I got just a bit ago So now I just gotta pay the newbie in the corp to haul it for me The total value of it all is uh A lot A FUCKING lot
I need all of it just to cover omega another few days of huffing gas and I can actually go omega and have money left over to use as omega It's gonna be good shit, I'll be able to make mad stacks huffing wormhole gas with a covetor
I might even be able to swing 100% jita prices on that buyback program Not certain about it yet, gonna have to look at some price spreads But if I can do 100% then certainly a lot of people will make use of it, and if a lot of people make use of it I can expand it
I gotta really kickstart the corp econ cause we need money real bad CEO's starting to become poor, I'm looking down the barrel of poverty after going omega, corp isn't much better off at present
I gotta find a way to import live prices directly into the spreadsheet too That way I can accurately estimate expected profit from each member's contributions, and that'll let me do stuff like provide little kickbacks to the top earners Sure the service itself is convenient, but it should also have a little extra sauce to encourage its use on purely financial grounds
Probably gonna come up with some standardized payout for hauling, too There's a lotta fun in doing this kinda stuff for me
To some degree, my ideal EVE gameplay would be tinkering with these numbers to optimize profitability while maintaining convenience and financial sense for the members Just managing the logistics network we grow out
We need members too, so I gotta figure out that referral program, but figuring out how to do it is proving a little difficult
actually holy shit I think I've already got the value I need I'm still gonna hold off, for non-money reasons Basically, I wanna cap out my alpha SP before I go omega, and soak in a few more daily injectors
S C
yeah I've got 3 Billion in gas I just need that hauled and I'm fucking GOOD
that nets me roughly 500M more than I need Granted, some percentage of that 3B is going to taxes But that should be about... 5%? I'm fucking GOOD, lads And I've made this in a very short time I've been playing again for about a month, but all this gas is like, 1-2 weeks?
This is gonna provide work for the corp too Hauling uuuh MY gas
Some of the profits obviously going into corp coffers, that needs to get fat too Shit I should just expand the corp buyback to cover all of highsec, this money will more than cover it out of pocket for me
it's possible to approach cloaked, if you've got hours to burn or an advanced cloak But you can't cloak the drones +\\\\ probes and you need probes to pinpoint the location you're going to And these clouds break cloak further away than the warp disruptors can target cause they're over twice the range of those in radius So if you pay attention you've got plenty of warning
There's also localchat in nullsec, so you know who's in the system no matter what Well, unless your chat DCs on you, which happens occasionally, but it's rare
S C
Basicallty the combination of the cloud's size and the venture's alignment time makes you real damn hard to catch as long as you're paying attention that's only the case with these BIG clouds though, the smaller variant you can get deleted pretty fucking easily by cloaks
really what makes nullsec particularly dangerous is the ability to use warp disruption fields, forcing people out of warp so they can't get away People put them up around the stargates, trapping people, and then they destroy the stranded ship With enough tank and speed, you can try to retreat through the gate you came in through, but haulers are notoriously slow and also the preferred targets for obvious reasons the venture's a quick mfer, but it's also made of cardboard so it'll get clapped immediately
So there's a lot of like, risk mitigation involved with nullsec travel, you should in advance set up safe spots around that you can align to and avoid the warp disruptors or wait them out somewhere in the middle of nowhere They've got timers on them after all, so if you're moving a lot of value, you might be best off just logging off for a while and trying again later

well eve is always-on pvp But yeah you can mitigate risk most of the time if you keep your wits about you and know what's going on But the golden rule of eve is you WILL lose your ship, sooner or later someone is gonna light you up at one point or another, you're just trying to make that as late as possible

excuse me while I go blink out into the "empty" space across the road for absolutely no reason at all
we have these parks that are designated ok-to-drink-in zones but it's all like... only during certain months, certain times of day, and there's a certain carved out zone for it certainly not near any playgrounds which makes sense ofc

the gas market took a bad hit and dropped like 20% overnight man what the fuck I'm hedging my bets trying to sell off SOME of my stash right now, keeping the other half hoping it bounces back
If I wasn't sitting on so fucking much of this stuff, I'd bully this guy who keeps undercutting me by putting new order after new order after new order up there it costs a new broker fee to modify your order, so if you do that every time someone undercuts you, you'll eventually bleed yourself dry "won't you bleed yourself too?" I'm glad you asked No, because I'd be putting new orders up for each time, with the older ones staying there So yes, I am paying the broker fee each time, but that's a % and would total about the same no matter what configuration I put it all up on the market in
I've burned myself enough doing it, I no longer just dump my whole stack up on the market, cause some nerd always undercuts you and then you gotta either modify or wait it out and neither is appealing But if you put them up in small chunks each time, eventually you hit the market's pain tolerance and know where you can dump the rest without being undercut too much
S C
there is a limit to open market orders though, so I can't go too crazy with it
S C
still gonna do it now and then though just not rapid fire bullying

Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
open market orders are the way i aint gof time to set up careful limit orders
S C
there's no API for actually making a sell order, partially because you have to physically be in the station\system\region depending on skill to do that, so you actually can't do limit sells or anything
If \\\ maybe I should just dump it all as a discounted sell order and get back to huffing No sense sitting idle when I could be harvesting more gas and make up the market-based loss that way gonna give it a bit of time and then I'm back into null I guess

I need to find that article about the bitchy "tech startup reporter" who loved to berate her husband about his failing startup
https://www.businessinsider.com/confessions-of-a-startup-founder-wife-marriage-tiktok-games-2023-11 man forgoet about the weird downer ending pitmommies/daddies are insane
supposedly there's a study done recently, well a mass survey, showing that the zoomers are wretches, unable to order their own food at a restaurant But I've yet to find anyone willing to even name the study, so I'm assuming it's false
i read that what the study actually said is that a large portion of zoomers don't feel comfortable going to a restaurant without looking up the menu first
S C
it's both, but yeah but the inability to order for yourself is the only one I even think is all that weird I prefer knowing what a place to eat has before I go too, what if the place next door has the stuff I want, you know?
S C
I can't actually imagine anyone literally is afraid of reading a physical menu, that's just not something I'll believe without having the study in front of me Though granted, I don't believe shit about this study anyway, because nobody's naming it, meaning none of these motherfuckers have read it either and could have easily just copy pasted a fucking stormfront article for all I know
>>1106317 It would be nice too not know whats on the menu in some cases. Then again it could be spicy or sweet even, may increase Appetite, knwing in advance.
oh man, it's such good shit to have a fleet of people just kinda hanging out in the system I'm huffing gas money trickles in, they scare off\eliminate anyone looking to get some of MY gas

Found myself a nice little c5 wormhole with plenty of midtier gas So now I'm taking a hauler ship and bringing a batch of containers in there to dump somewhere and fill up one by one, then I'll go get the rest later or rather, I'll go harvest the containers with an appropriate hauler

It seems to have some... interesting game mechanical phenomena though, being this close
For one, if I warp to the other side of the planet, I immediately enter the "warp" visuals, like the little hyperspace wooshing particle effects and stuff, without actually being in warp yet ANother potentially not-allowed factor of it is that, at least while I was making the bookmark, warping to it from the otherside had me sort of.. hovering within the planet, my speedometer showing absurd speeds but my actual position remaining constant, for quite some time I'm gonna have to do some testing for that though
how the hell does shit just keep getting more and more fucking insane, man How are we this close to the end of the year, and actual Greatest Of 2023 shit happens like, this week, like the mayor of new york going "you know why new york fucking rules? because 9/11 happened here" like cut this man's mic

The part that was funniest to me was he was asked to describe the year in one word and explain his choice One word And his answer? New York
kinda odd they have that cut between him filling up the bottel and drinking it poision tap water

Some cities have pretty good tap water The city I live in, providing you don't live in old-ass buildings with ancient plumbing, has great tap water, I drink from the tap all the time Guess I don't know what NYC's tap quality is though
I converted one of the empty switches on my overhead console, probably where the heated seats toggle would go, into a "performance mode" switch. Opens the bypass valve on the muffler, does some little trickery to raise the boost pressure (just twists the controller with a solenoid), kills the AC (lel) and will eventually switch the ECU from economy to full performance, once I figure out how to do that. But there's another one, that can only be activated when the other is also on: The emergency eurobeat switch. It cuts power to the radio and turns on the squat Bose stereo in the trunk, which is connected to an ancient ipod shuffle holding only "Back on the Rocks - Mega NRG Man" and permanently set to full volume. I have never needed to activate the eurobeat, but now I must.
It's paying dividends though I have created a proper lookup for myself
Granted this is generally unnecessary, because I already have a fairly good idea how much money I make on this stuff, but the skills are valuable for later
I think yes and no You can unintentionally predict something by simple depiction of a hypothetical future that comes to pass, but that's just in a sort of "we now find ourself in that situation from the thing" kind of thing For there to be any power behind the prediction, it has to have been intentional to some degree, like a "This is what I think will actually happen" with conditionals (optional) If we found ourselves in a reality similar to what's depicted in 1984, you could say Orwell really did predict that society, but I think it goes for if we somehow find ourselves in something like Blade Runner, there's just no further information to be gleaned and it's more of a piece of trivia in that latter case, cause you don't learn more about it from that information But in a reality akin to ingsoc, you could conceivably draw wisdom about the world through 1984
Though For the moment, I just gotta build up capital as I tinker away and learn how to Market You need a lot of isk to start really making moves on the market that are worth much, right now even if I dumped all my net worth into it, it ain't gonna get me nowhere fast
S C
Heck it, I'm just gonna expand the buyback program, I need to get the money flowing A lot of people just sell directly to market anyway so it can definitely be a bit of a draw towards joining the corp If we lose money on it, I'll just eat the cost and cover it out of pocket
The buyback program basically works by leveraging the increased volume resulting from combining the whole corp's shit, and my own big trade skills to squeeze as much money as I can out of it at Jita That, and as I've now set it at 100% Jita buy price, nobody, not even I, can get even the same amount by selling it directly to market at Jita You'd have to set up a sell order, and with that comes taxes, which for me is fine because Trade Skills, but if you're primarily selling to buy orders anyway, you're not gonna waste weeks leveling that shit Default sales tax is 8%, mine is 3.6%
Of course, to save on transport costs, I will be paying the corp members some relatively small amounts to consolidate everything in a few hubs around the galaxy, from where I'll contract the hauling out to professionals
Hopefully I can get people using the damn service, and it'll at the very least help out the newbies
Of course, if this shit works out, I might end up bailing on the corp to start my own corp, with profits and blackjack I might not, but I also might It's a consideration Sure right now I have full control of the corp finances, but I would like to have FULL control, you know?
I really do wanna have the corp be BEEG though Like, run be me or not, I want there to be mfers online so I can drop a "hey there's gas here, someone with a combat ship come over and bust the other guys up" and then have someone actually come over and fuck some shit up
Once I work up the money, I'm gonna get big into the spreadsheets, really get cranking on supplying shit at a good margin where it's needed Combat-focused players much prefer paying a premium for their ammunition and whatever to flying over to Jita, after all It takes a while to fly that far, it's a pain in the ass
