..ingredients are listed in according to percentage on a decreasing scale, so basically most of the "Pancake" and "Waffle" syrups are primarily HFCS with food colouring, flavourings, and preservatives in relatively smaller amounts. I only get pure maple syrup even though it costs 2 to 3 times as much.
I know the title says “complaint” in the title but this also seems to be the appropriate place for whatever weird thoughts enter one’s head, so I thought I’d infect you all share…
For a long time I’ve had the 3D-hobby induced visual illusion that the sky is actually being projected on a huge dome nearly every time I go outside, but to that I have now added weird modeling-based dreams. I halfway woke up early this morning and found myself convinced that a strange shadow on the wall was due to overlapping polygons, and I actually reached out my arm like I could fix it before I completely woke up and realized how crazy that was. I have also recently found myself idly speculating about the weight mapping on the real-world clothing of people around me.
On an unrelated note (?), you know how sometimes you read a word so many times that it suddenly loses all meaning and just looks and sounds bizarre/wrong? I achieved that with the word “morph” this past week. The more you say it the less it sounds like a real word!
Maybe I need to take a break from the 3D for a while.

Complaint: UNC plays Saturday and I won't be able to watch it.
Yes, the lack of actual complaints in this thread has been one of my recurring complaints. So, I often throw in some trivial complaint at the end of my posts, just to keep them on topic. If you don't like my policy you can always complain about it here.
If someday I win the first seat on the next incarnation of this thread I will have the power to change its title. I've been considering "The personal blog area of a few demented DAZling complainers"
I had frequently wondered why the forum moderators tolerated this thread. Then I realized that it's a relatively small price to pay to keep us safely corralled in here so that we don't muck up the other threads. It works most of the time, but I escape once in a while when I have something particularly enlightened or infuriating to say.
Please excuse me while I ramble on a bit more. There was a time long ago in this forum when there were many many threads with the word "Complaint" in their title. So many that their purpose became diluted and moderators did actually make nasty noises about the number and content of complaint threads. Some of them were leading to flame wars and about all of the religious subjects like which browser to use, which anti-virus to use, which OS to use, etc. Oh, you should have seen the things said in the early days!!! It made for interesting reading on a dull night. Then after enough hands were slapped and a few of the most seriously vocal members dropped out, we've ended up essentially with this one rather benign non-complaint complaint thread. There is one other but it is mostly a tribute thread to a beloved member and has devolved to the LCD of the internet... cat pictures.
This thread has a core group of persistent members but anybody's welcome as long as they realize that any complaint expressed herein will be dust in the wind.
wouldnt envy that job, harbour master of a space station must be even more hectic
Yes, I would imagine. A sea port is 2D. A space port is 3D. And the spaceport is probably spinning and ships are coming from all angles. Especially if the spaceport is between planets and not orbiting one (like Deep Space 9). You'd need a sliderule just to dock!
I believe that both the Complaint Thread and the Stupid Thread were started by our late lamented friend Jaderail.
origin of the complaint thread goes way way back
You sure it didn't say maple flavored syrup? Well, for sure it didn't say pure or real (although real is still something that is not well defined in advertising law). I only buy pure maple syrup now. I've had it with the corn syrup wanna be's.

Wow, that's some good Photoshopping!

...non complaint: they're playing my Oregon Ducks.
...as a relatively long time member of the Complaint Thread:
...yes, they both were.
Negative The original Complaint thread was started many years back, in the original old old old forum, and it was strted as an anitthesis of all the actual complaint threads that LG mentioned, made to extract the urine regarding said threads.
non complaint, they gave me a free breakfast sammich at starbucks this morning.
for being a regular customer i guess. they giving out cards, 5 coffee stickers earns a free sammich.
didn't have the card, but is the same crew there mostly.
gobbled it all up. need food to fill the boredom.
when i was a kid, we had to wind our watches. is battery now, but keep winding every morning out of habit.
how come we dropped the 'h's in words like harbour, colour?
was it an executive decision of the forefathers to drop the 'h' ?
There was this guy called Noah Webster, who was rather anti-english. So when he compiled a dictionary, he changed loads of stuff for largely political reasons (including changing the pronounciation of Zed to Zee)

remember the BlackAdder episode, he was going to write a dictionary overnight
"h"? Did you mean "u"?
we 'as a little confusion 'ere it seems.
Soundz perfickly normal to me . . .
cute overload
guv'na
Got a gift card coupon for a store at the mall and got this bag for free with it.
Why do half an hour breaks seem to last much less than half an hour of work? Why is that time so fleeting?
Complaint someone is forcing me to go to the dentist Monday but I rather work that day. They also did not tell me two weeks in advance so I could tell my job. Hope their actions do not make me in trouble at work. Also also need to get back on clock before boss realized I have not returned yet.
Did "color/colour" ever have an "h" in it?????
But regarding "h"s. I believe that the British don't pronounce the "h" because they don't want to put the effort into pronouncing a European & East European "h" and the accompanying sound of a strangled cat that it requires. In other words "it hurts when I do that, so I won't do that anymore". Either that or they could never grasp that they needed to use the article "a" instead of "an" when saying the phrase "a house" or "a horse", so they just decided that "h"s don't exist and say "an ouse" and "an orse".
Americans haven't done away with the "h" but we have toned it down a bit to just a breathy puff instead of coughing up furballs.
An 'otel.
we also throw in an extr "r" sometimes - if one word ends in a and the next word starts with a vowel:
"The nice thing about America - r - is . . ." Here's a little video:
I say ol chap, who says that we British do not pronounce our Aitches. We do not indeed pronounce Aitch as Haitch, that is predominantly gross. But we do pronounce then whe talking about a House or a horse or even the aforementioned Harbour, at least most British people do. Some local dialects do tend to not use them, Cockney being the worst offender for dropping aitches. Some aitches are actually silent, as the one in hour, so that one doesn't actually get sounded, but that is not because it has been dropped, it is because it is silent.
. . . Says Chohole (pronounced "Cool")
It is?!? Wow... I've been pronouncing it exactly as it is spelled... which explains my constant puzzled look when I try to figure out what it means.... haha
Morning. Autumn iz here with a huge fall in temperature, after all the mad February heat the past couple of weeks was like the lazy end of summer we had to have :)
