| Nothing

Scare tactics. Reminds me of the Dopler 7000 Storm Watch in California. Thankfully, nothing happened. I just hate the news sometimes.

My mom txted me ass-early this morning with "isn't that crazy about Chili and Hawaii. Crazy stuff to wake up to. Good luck Ryan! Watching CNN right now and they have a lady on one of the islands out there who's like "the natives take these warnings more seriously than the tourists." Oh man, becareful RyRy, stay safe and give us any updates.
Tsunami warning. This is nuts. I am up-country at about 2400 feet, so no worries, but people are spazzing. Lines around the block for for gas, huge lines at the market, traffic up the wazzu. Hopefully it misses us.

They haven't had a warning in 8 years.

Like this.

Damn, if you swapped out that jacket for a dark grey hoodie, that dude could be me circa the El Segundo days.

Glad to see the death of Hummer... but how will all of those guys with small man syndrome deal with it?

I am in.

From what I understand, Ian is in and David is likely, pending a financial liquidity assessment nearer the event.

Secret Tweet to Crime Biter re: ME2

Planets! Scanning! If you sit there and scan an entire planet (and deplete all it's resources) then yeah, might take 10 minutes. At some point you get a chance for an upgrade to the scanner which makes it move faster but for the most part, unless the scan comes up RICH, you probably don't need to waste your time. I ended the game with hundreds of thousands of bonus minerals I never needed. Then why scan? Honestly, it was kinda theraputic and being the 'sperglord that I am, I NEEDED to know that I'd explored systems 100%. Also, I loved reading the descriptions, they're great. AND it's the only way you're going to find most of the side missions which are for the most part fantastic (it tells you right away when you orbit a planet if there's an anomaly - otherwise regular scanning is just for minerals.) But how I scanned was sorta half-assed in an up and down left to right grid and just pulsed the left trigger every sec or so. That way you move across the surface faster and if you see hits on the meter then you can slow down and hunt for it.

tldr: video games, zzz
