> Then log your mains back in all at once when the system came back up because you were prepared for it and kill the other fleet as they trickled in disoriented. Now its impossible. You have to really commit some alts to a fight. More alts the merrier. Untill you get TiDi, I mean it takes a long time to enjoy all of the slow motion, few thousand players battle. Hehe. You see, thats not what I enjoy the most tho… I dont know what those people see in it even. Experienced it once and it was awful. ---

For accuracy: The “boiling the frog until it dies” thing is a myth that didn’t hold up against the experiment. Frogs jump out as soon as the water gets too hot, no matter how slowly it’s being heated up. ---

Aves, correct, Yulai was the big hub like Jita is today. CCP made some changes that discouraged all trade being congregated to just Yulai (don’t exactly remember those changes right now). They nerfed a system if I recall correctly hahaha. But eventually the player base just found Jita fit their needs and everything relocated there fairly quickly. CCP realized it wasn’t worth fighting so they just upgraded the servers that ran the Jita node hahaha. ---

Trim the root end of the sprouts by a few mm and remove the top layer of outer leaves. Say to yourself ‘hey, i never noticed that a pod looks like a brussels sprout’ Quarter the sprouts along their long axis and put them in a bowl toss with olive oil and - to taste - salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (i like the korean ones) and a bit of curry powder, just a bit go back to before the first step and pre-heat the oven to 425F roast the sprouts until the outer leaves are browning and just starting to crinkle up if you like them more firm, longer if you like them crispier. try to let them cool off before you eat one ---
