Time to go to sleep… night night lovelies!

Also: your grandma went to Naples and had pizza… well, actually it was more like, PIZZA!!

 ![Boy selling pizza from a bin Naples c 1960](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/9/f/b9f2527d82df4ae23d5fd1e7b4346509a48585db.jpeg)

A boy selling pizza from a bin in Naples, 1960s.

That’s the origin of pizza as a fast food (technically street food), a kind of bread with stuff on it, made round by the process of spreading the dough once kneeled, but can be any shape actually. Pizza is a flat bread but not a flatbread, since flatbread doesn’t have yeast.

Last night I wasn’t in shape to post anything (got me a trip to the hospital by passing out at the metro, probably because of low blood presure by dehydration) but now I’m back to the regular programming. Night night lovelies!

We should have stayed ape men… 🤨

But then we would never have EVE where we can be ape men. Clubbing my neighbor for food or resources doesn’t bother me even when I on the receiving end.

A little girl struck by polio practices stair climbing in Minneapolis, 1938.

My aunt had polio and has a paralyzed and stunted right arm. Her parents never knew whether she was right or left-handed because she had polio very young, but with only her left hand she has made it do for all her life even if she remained a housewive.

People can’t even imagine what the world was for parents before the polio vaccine, and all other vaccines which make “half of the children died before five years old” seem like a grim tale and not the bloody reality for all bloody history of civilization until less than a century ago. And now some people just merrily endanger their children and everybody else’s because “they know better”. You tell my aunt that vaccines are bad and you’ll know how strong and dexterous is her left arm even at 80…

A girl dressed in red, autochrome picture from around 1908.

The grainy texture is due to the Autochrome Lumière technique, which used microscopic colored potato starch grains as a filter first to expose the picture and later to display it with passing ight (like a diapositive). Due to the light filtering, autochrome required a lot of light and longer exposures than contemporary black and white techniques; FAI, an outdoor autochrome in a sunny summer day would require one second at least, or thirty times longer than a ordinary photgraph of the era (thus moving subjects were a no-no).

I have a few things to say about EVE:

**The Vast and Intricate Universe of _EVE Online_**

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed capsuleers, and aficionados of the digital cosmos, allow me to embark on an extensive and multifaceted exploration of one of the most captivating virtual experiences ever conceived: _EVE Online_. This massively multiplayer online role-playing game, a creation of the renowned CCP Games, stands as a monumental achievement in gaming history, combining elements of strategy, exploration, and human ingenuity in a way that mirrors the complexities of the real world while simultaneously transcending them.

To fully appreciate the magnificence of _EVE Online_, one must first grasp the sheer scale of its universe. Known as New Eden, this vast expanse of over 7,000 star systems is more than just a collection of interconnected dots on a map—it is a living, breathing entity, teeming with opportunities, challenges, and narratives that unfold organically through the actions of its players. Each system, from the bustling trade hubs of Jita to the perilous null-security regions, possesses its own unique character, history, and strategic significance, forming a tapestry of interstellar intrigue that continues to evolve with each passing day.

Consider, for instance, the concept of the player-driven economy—a cornerstone of _EVE Online_ that sets it apart from virtually every other game in its genre. Unlike traditional MMORPGs, where in-game economies are largely dictated by non-player characters and automated systems, _EVE Online_ entrusts its economy entirely to its players. The intricate interplay of supply and demand, resource extraction, manufacturing, and trade creates a dynamic marketplace where fortunes can be made or lost in the blink of an eye. The existence of the Player-Owned Stations, Keepstars, and trade hubs further enhances this complexity, as they serve as both economic powerhouses and strategic assets in the endless struggle for dominance.

Speaking of struggle, we cannot overlook the significance of _EVE Online_’s player-driven conflicts, which have come to define the very essence of the game. From small-scale skirmishes between rival corporations to galaxy-spanning wars that involve tens of thousands of players, the battles of _EVE Online_ are unparalleled in their scale, scope, and strategic depth. Let us not forget the infamous Battle of B-R5RB, often referred to as the “Million Dollar Battle,” during which countless hours of preparation, coordination, and resource accumulation culminated in a clash so immense that it garnered international media attention. This single event exemplifies the power of _EVE Online_ to blur the line between the virtual and the real, as players invest not only their time but also their emotions, intellect, and, in some cases, their wallets into the pursuit of victory.

Yet, beyond the battles and the economy lies an even deeper layer of _EVE Online_: the social fabric that binds its players together. Corporations and alliances function as microcosms of real-world societies, complete with hierarchies, politics, and cultural norms. Whether one is a humble miner seeking camaraderie, an industrialist aspiring to build an empire, or a cunning spy infiltrating an enemy organization, the social dynamics of _EVE Online_ provide endless opportunities for connection, collaboration, and, yes, betrayal. It is a game where trust is both a currency and a weapon, where alliances are forged and broken with the same frequency as the rising and setting of the virtual sun.

Now, let us turn our attention to the aesthetic and technical aspects of _EVE Online_. The game’s visuals, continually updated and refined over its two-decade-long lifespan, are nothing short of breathtaking. The shimmering nebulae, the intricate ship designs, and the ethereal beauty of a distant starfield all contribute to a sense of immersion that is unmatched in the realm of MMORPGs. And while the graphics captivate the eye, the game’s underlying mechanics—its physics engine, its server infrastructure, and its modular design—serve as a testament to the ingenuity of its developers. The ability of _EVE Online_ to support battles involving thousands of players simultaneously, with minimal disruption to gameplay, is a technological marvel that deserves recognition.

Of course, no discussion of _EVE Online_ would be complete without acknowledging its role as a cultural phenomenon. The game has inspired countless works of art, literature, and even academic research. Its stories, many of which are crafted organically by the players themselves, rival those of traditional science fiction in their complexity and emotional impact. Whether it is the tale of a long-con espionage operation, the rise and fall of a galactic empire, or the quiet journey of a lone explorer venturing into uncharted space, _EVE Online_ captures the imagination in a way that few other games can.

In conclusion, _EVE Online_ is more than just a game—it is a universe unto itself, a reflection of the human spirit, and a testament to what is possible when creativity, technology, and community converge. It is a place where dreams are realized, challenges are overcome, and stories are written by the very players who inhabit its digital cosmos. As we contemplate the future of _EVE Online_, let us not only celebrate its achievements but also embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead, for in the boundless expanse of New Eden, the only limits are those of our own imagination.
