Friends, Nerds, EVE enjoyers - lend me your ear (just one).

In light of myriad recent discussions regarding terminology and nomenclature, I am compelled to bring to your attention another pressing and distressing problem with our terminology.

I am speaking of CRABing, crabbing, and krabbing.

The terms krab and krabbing, and their immediate descendants crab and crabbing have a long and storied history in our game. Prior to the introduction of CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacon, we all knew what one another intended by these words: PvE of all sorts.

Since the introduction of the CRAB Beacon (and yes, our adoption of the redundant Beacon does grievously injure my soul, but VIN Number is in line

TIL there are two Fallout Shelter subreddits...

What are your favorite DIY "game modes"?

I'm always looking for a new "game mode" to try, but don't find many shared, so here's my latest:

Romeo + Juliet (Survival)

1. Build a standard survival mode base with training rooms to level 45
2. Train two pairs that exceed the 134 threshold and have the desired offspring primary stat for your version. I'm on 2.0, so 09 09 10 10 10 10 10 should guarantee primary Endurance.
3. Banish all sub-134 dwellers.
4. Send all remaining 134+ dwellers into the wilderness.
5. The first male to reach max level is recalled and becomes The Capulet. Recall the highest level breedable 134+ female to become Lady Capulet.
6. The second male to reach max level is recalled and becomes The Montague. Recall th

We need new flair.

I'm kinda in favor of FCr because of how snotty FCrPlease sounds in my head with a hard C.

Or FeCr, because Ferrochrome would be super nerdy.

Anyway, ModPlease, let's get the "I hate that flair" drama rolling, please.

As I considered the upcoming events, it occurred to me to wonder...

What is the most number of pilots in a single HS system? Other than Jita? Is there a known record?

It seems possible we will have the opportunity to experience TiDi during the breakout portion of this event. I know Jita runs on dedicated hardware; have we had TiDi for HS events like Burn Jita, or is this the first chance for HS to experience peak of Eve gameplay?

I signed in to EVE today and there was no launcher update.

FC, whut do? I signed in, and there isn't time to go get a drink before the game opens. Do I get a drink, or fly thirsty?

Is this the end of the world as we know it?

Is everything OK?

I don't see any major volcano news or reports of a massive EMP, and the big winter storm seems a bit far away to cause any major disruptions. Did CCP staff get early access to Crimson Desert?

I was hanging out near a (close HS to Jita) hole in Thera the other day, and a fleet of approximately 40 ships warped in, bubbled the hole, launched a bunch of fireworks, flew around without any obvious purpose, then left, returned, and did it again.

No direct conflict ensued, and I did not observe anyone to splash in and out (though certainly I could have missed them). It was appeared to be a kitchen-sink of corps and alliances, with the majority of the fleet in Retributions. It did not appear to be a single massively multiboxing individual, based upon a significant number of the ships wandering off and doing their own thing. I didn't see any 1420 tags, so it wasn't apparently a hugs f

Explain it to me Like I am a Wormholer: what is the current state of Delve?

Who is dominant and upcoming in the NPC Delve areas?

Who seems to be settling in to fill the void in player so?

Yes, I could look at dotlan and zkill, but I suspect some of you have already done that, and can add valuable "RL" perspective.

What are the odds?

So I scan down a signature, and warp to it at 100km, per usual.
I land 104km from the wormhole and 98km from the signature.
Oh, look, I'm in the middle of my probes... so close I can't recall them.

I'm having a difficult time sorting out why my standings with a particular faction (in this case, Blood Raiders Covenant at -5.7) are low. I have not spent much time in Amarr space, nor shooting rats in Delve. Perhaps this alt has shot enough BR mission rats to tank those standings, but I need some math help to sort out how I can get this character less negative with BRC.

Is there an existing calculator/spreadsheet somewhere that will look at my standings and show how much each of my standings is affecting my derived standings for a particular faction so I can sort out whether there's any possibility of tanking another standing to benefit this one?

Or, has anyone sorted out a way to build

I was today years old when I realized that Guristas' Fatal and The Rabbit are a clear allusion to Monty Python's Killer(fatal) Rabbit (of Caerbannog).

I hang my head in shame and offer this up as a fresh reminder in case there is another who has not yet made this connection.

First, yes, I know that roaming profiles are awful. This is inherited, and a better solution is on the radar. A few user are trialing redirection/sync, and we'll likely go to OneDrive at some point.

In Brief:
I am not able to sync some roaming user profiles (at least two) to new/different (Win 10/11 Pro) domain-joined computers. Trying to sign in to a new computer with these roaming profiles displays Welcome with the wheel, then spins for hours, and never successfully signs in. While spinning, the screen is blank other than the mouse cursor and a small blue spinning circle. The small blue circle appears and disappears intermittently.

Symptoms:

The owner wants to bring in an MSP owned by his friend to "help" and to provide a backstop in the case that the IT Director wins the lottery or is hit by a bus (they were previously burned by an unexpected exit). The (new) IT Director does not have the authority or influence to completely reject the idea.

Company: Small (75 employees), entirely on-prem (systems and employees) business split between two sites running MS and Epicor. Significant deferred maintenance: some 2008r2 servers, Exchange 2016, etc.

RTX 4080, i9-13900HX, 32GB RAM,

EVE wants to run at over 200FPS, so I have it throttled to 120. Normally, I run 115-120.

Intermittently, my FPS drop to 3-5FPS. No obvious triggers - happens while ratting, scanning a WH, or even sitting docked in a station. Exiting and re-launching the client immediately resolves the issue.

The only other weird thing I've seen is that my pod seems to shudder across the hangar, even when FPS are fine.

Any tips or ideas? Don't say contact support, that's... lol.

I (US based) am considering taking an EM role with a team that is fully remote in US/India. It's been... well... a few years now since I led a team working from India.

I don't want to paint with too broad a brush here, and understand that individuals may vary significantly from and within a culture and region of origin, but...

I'd love to hear from some of you on any tips for helping an offshore (India) team excel.

I'd be even more excited to hear from India-based experienced devs what are things that would really make you feel good (hopefully also work well with) a US-based EM for your team? Are there are any specific regional/cultural quirks I may have forgotten, and that would be
