OH-MY-LOL!! :open_mouth:

CCP has gifted a Tier 1 filament to all active capsuleers.

It’s the kind of thing you do on Day 1 so everybody gives a try to the new content… or on day 9 so everybody knows that there’s an issue with how many players are actually using the feature…?

Petty people taking a :poop: on a relative’s grave just so the entire town can know they have an excuse for being as petty as they are. It’s all mom’s fault… This isn’t a eulogy for the mother, it’s their own. :rofl:

I cut all sugar,salt and flour from my diet and I’m more active this last week. I immediately noticed differences in my body. I can now sleep and wake up earlier and feel energetic during the day. I am exercising every day and feel stronger already.

Good night, lovelies. :heart:

What I’ve learned is to stop drinking coffee past 2pm-3pm. This let’s one sleep deeper and longer. I didn’t believe it until I tried it and now I reward myself every night with a good sleep by dropping the caffeine during the afternoon.

That’s easy to understand, caffeine effect is by blocking adenosin receivers, which have a slow, incremental sedation effect. If you block them too long, adenosin won’t accumulate fast enough to contribute to sleep at the right time. Effects differ from person to person, but the key is to remember that caffeine doesn’t wakes you up, it prevents your brain and body from feeling tired -temporarily and never if you’re really tired. The “boost” feeling it’s because the hormones that activate your brain after wake up can work freely while adenosin receivers are blocked, this is why so many people feel better after their morning coffee shot.

And now, sugar-free, salt-free and caffeine-free Yiole is going to sleep! Unfortunately my brain chmsitry is a crazy thing so I just sleep in unusual ways and too often can’t get enough rest. Anyway, it’s beddy time and I say: nighties lovelies!

Also: canIhavea hug pleease?

PS: one of my hundreds of crazy theories is that we could change the world if it was mandatory for teachers to hug (and be hugged back by) every alumn before class. It would start with a class at 1st grade, then that class would hug and be hugged at 2nd grade while another class joined 1st grade and started being hugged, and so the hugging would accompany the first class and be implemented gradually to the next ones. After all 15 grades, a whole generation of teachers and alumns would have become humans used to hug and be hugged. That would make sexual assaults more difficult, school violence more difficult, social alienation more difficult, and would make easy to detect fringe anti-hug cases in order to be removed from the gene pool (j/k. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: )

Some dead horses deserve to be beaten over and over and reanimated and beaten again. Much like the AFK cloaking and bumping Horses. Poor things. At least this one is for a good cause…

These arms look like they could bend a car door. They could at least make them thinner. Why anybody would put such unergonomic and scary thing in place of substitute human shape and arms? Doesnt look right to me. :confused:

Timezone everyone :kissing_heart:

Are they in the NES yet?

It’s a protootype in a very prototype stage. They’re testing different cover matherials, arm pressure, hug length and temperature (the robot is heated).

Certainly the machine looks… impressive. The third volunteer in video hesitates visibly before handing over his phsyical integrity to that contraption. :grin:

Can redeem them from the login screen as with other gifts, one per account.

Yeah, I know, but are they in the NES yet? Sold for PLEX? Or is it still too early for CCP to break that ice? We all know they’re going to at some point :stuck_out_tongue:

Geuss that it’s too early to knwo what’s the monetization value of abysmal content, but giving free samples of stuff that’s beyond Alphas and already was losing value quickly is not a good sign. I was a bit shocked to see the Leshak sell initially by just 4 billion and now they’re jsut 1.5 billion a piece, which isn’t very impressive.

As I said, this move smells of fizzle.

Intel’s Gregory Bryant began the demo by explaining that the company is working to bring the new chip to market in Q4 of this year, saying, “Without further ado, I would like to present to you a new 28-core processor.”

At the end of the demo, which focused heavily on the performance benefits of the 5GHz clock speed, Bryant said, “What’s amazing is that trade-off, this actually being a 5GHz in single-threaded performance frequency and not…having to sacrifice that for this kind of multi-threaded performance, so you’ve got kind of the best of both worlds. So, you guys want to see us productize that thing? Tell you what, we’ll bring that product to market in Q4 this year, and you’ll be able to get it.”

Massive 1.7 kW sub ambient cooler that they went to a fair degree of trouble to hide. Same with the 16 phase motherboard to pump 1 kW into the CPU itself. They just forgot to mention it, of course.

Once Asus and Gigabyte spilled the beans on how intel did it (aka it was overclocked, and the cooling unit was gigantic), intel came to their booth and gave them 30 minutes to hand back the cpu, ending the demo. Which moved it from “intel does a tech demo of what could be” to “intel tried to pull one over us and got caught”.

Intel PR at its best. They sure are afraid of AMD when they resort to shady stuff like this.

Hehe, they should give that cooler and motherboard for free with every CPU then.
