Quick question(s):

The red beacon when you select a location on the map:

a) what's the keyboard shortcut to get rid of it? (yes, I know you can press clear in map view)

b) is it possible to turn it off permanently, say in debug menu?

Thanks :)

You can click on the red arrow on your screen and it goes away. I don't know if there's a keyboard shortcut.

Besides clicking on the red arrow as suggested before, you can also go to MAPS and use the CLEAR DESTINATION button.

I love that beacon, especially when tping into, for example, a shopping sim with a landing point set and no store teleporter board. :)

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

in my client, I don't see the red arrow anymore. But I found a new trick. Right click the minimap and select "Stop tracking".

That is SO not fair.

Ok, this is just scary...I am tired and read the post title as "Getting Rid of Bacon" and was coming on to post that...and see this.

Maybe more than one of us is tired...or hungry...or both. :p

"Banquet" Swedish Meatballs.

It looks nothing like the picture on the box. When you pull it out of the microwave, it's more like "Warmed up vomit, over egg noodles... oh, and some balls of salsbury steak that someone sat on." I'd stop buying the stuff, if they'd stop selling them for $1 each. Next trip to the store, I'm focussing more on turkey and chicken.
