This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

And military. Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

The military uses UTC? Not for regular timekeeping I'm guessing.

Military and IT are overrepresented in EVE.
