Complaint: My rotten luck, my old as balls 32bit XP computer actually has a freakin NVIDIA graphics card, but it only supports openCL 1.0. I cannot believe I will not be able to try out this dforce thingamabob. UGH.
Is the CPU too old for the Intel OpenCL driver, linked from the Start Here thread?

...trouble is there are a few items I'd like to get (that have been on my wishlist) from PA stores that are featured in the sale, but I'd like to mnaximise the savings as much as possible while still making sure the all the items I purchase would be useful. This is the one sale I wait for every year as PC items can also trigger bonus discounts.
Probably it's an intel core 2 duo.
Edit: I think definitely yes. Since I've installed that openCL driver from that link in the start here thread and daz still tells me that "a valid OpenCL 1.2 device could not be found".
I am not staying long as my battery is low. About to watch a movie called Geostorm so no tablet use then.
I spent way too much last pay period (on DAZ and other things) and blew my budget all to <heck>. And already this pay period I've uncovered several more unexpected costs so, I've had to force myself to slap my hands whenever I stray into the DAZ catalog. However, my birthday is comming up in a couple weeks and since nobody else buys me a birthday present anymore I feel free to indulge myself in whatever way I can justify.
I'd like to be able to justify the leather Russian Navy coat below but I'd have to lose about 40 pounds.
Complaint: I have made a grave error! I'm not much of a cook. I can do hamburgers, and a couple casseroles, and tunafish sandwiches, and boiled eggs, and scrambled eggs, and even perfectly cooked gently oozing fried eggs. And I can heat up a can of Campbells soup as well as anybody. But today I tried an experiment. I like a little spice to my food and will often chop up a few small pieces of jalapeno into my casserole or breakfast hash & eggs. I thought it would be interesting to spice up a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup and put just two small slices of jalapeno into the pan. I let it come to a boil and ladled it into a bowl. Wowza, was it hot! I've spent the last 5 minutes hacking and coughing and sneezing and my lips are numb. Boy, is it good, but I think next time it will be only one, smaller, piece of jalapeno.
I have to admit that I cheat and buy dehydrated powdered chilli, far easier to add just a tad to spice things up
My other half was a trained chef and I ate well (60 pounds too well) while we were together. He was very jealous of his rule in the kitchen but one thing he taught me was the secret to incredible cream soups. Just a tiny pinch of crocus pollen (Saffron) in a cream soup makes it heavenly. But it's terribly expensive for the good stuff, and none of it, of any quality, is available in this area. I guess I could order it from Amazon or other website but I hate spending $$ for unknown product.

Funny you should say that. I had an offer from a gardening company I use asking if I wanted to buy some saffron crocuses to grow my own saffron. I have to admit I just laughed. I live at 1200ft, in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons mountains in Wales. Anything I grow has to be able to exist without too much sun, but with plenty af water and must like breezy condtions, be able to get used to the fact that spring arrives late and Summers are quite often quite cool.
Those are conditions that would not be welcomed by saffron plants.
Anyway it was himself that was the gardener and kitchen porter and me the cook. Not trained level as your partner was, but a reasonable cook, and my 2 sons were both taught to cook by me, and then kept it up at school. Elder son became an award winning chef, younger decided not to make a career out of it, but still enjoys cooking.
Just finished watching Geostorm. Back home now trying to eat dinner but stuffed on pop corn.
1.200ft would change cooking time?
powdered Digestive cookies? is that like graham cracker?
lookin at Skiri's recipe. https://realmgal.deviantart.com/journal/Pumpkincheesepiecake-561403470
I prefer cayenne, as you can make a dish as hot as you like, but any burning sensation fades in 10 minutes or so. Yum.
Wind storm yesterday.. we were under a wind warning. South of us peak gusts were 143 mph.. got the winter tires on, though.. this coming week will be decent, but the forecast for the first week of November suggests snow, and potentially a low of -22C... currently 1C...
...they're forecasting another cold winter down here in Oregon as well. Need to win Megabucks, need to go to warmer climate.
Having a little weather here
....made it up to 71° here today but was very windy. Going to be around 70° for the next couple days.
Has been Friday here. Just noticed there is only eight more Fridays until Christmas, and the end of 2017 can't be far behind. Can't wait :)
We're hunkering down for some wind and hail and maybe whisky tango foxtrot snow. Snow? Really? :0
You might like Arctic Blast :)
Some of the language must be much older than Bronze age to spread so far along the Atlantic coast I guess there is no way to tell for sure
That moment when you see something cool in the store but it's only in DUF format and thus completely worthless to me. I think someone told me how I could use that but I can't remember now since I've been away from the forums for a while oops.
Secondary complaint, woke up from a bad dream around 2:45am and decided to get up and do some things before trying to go back to bed, but by that time I was already very wide awake. RIP my motivation to do anything productive tomorrow.
Third complaint, been replaying the original Age of Empires after I found the disc my father gave me years ago in a whatever you call those things (It's like a binder sort of, but has sleeves for CD's in it rather than things for papers). My complaint? I forgot how baaaaad the pathfinding in the game was haha.
The orange guys are my allies and half of their villager workforce is stuck there and remained there until the game's end. Additionally, I hate how picky the AI gets about breaking alliances because of friendly fire from catapults >_> Accidents happen, and the splash damage on Heavy Catapults is insane.
Non-complaint: Beauitful Vue scene. One of the finalists in E-On's recent environment competition.
This must have taken a lot of time to make haha, tweaking systems and stuff... Beautiful scene though!
I use cayenne sprinkled liberally on chicken breasts while I'm frying them. No breading, just a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil, one or two large chicken breasts sprinkled with cayenne, fried at low/medium heat for about 1/3 total time, then turn over and sprinkle the other side and cook for another 1/3 the time, then turn over and finish up the cooking. Remove to a cutting board and slice into medalions of desired thickness for sandwiches or chicken steaks or chunks for soups or stews. Mmmm, yum! I've tried all sorts of ways to scientifically determine when they are cooked properly and have failed. I've given up and now after the 2nd cooking will simply slice open the thickest part and make sure the center is only just pink and gauge the 3rd cooking time accordingly to assure the meat is done, juicy, and not tough.
My fetish for jalapenos comes from a time when my body could tolerate them. I would go into "Subway" and order a sandwich with "lots of jalapenos". But nowdays I say "and just four jalapeno slices".
Here in the summer, the local fruit and vegetable stand has some wonderful jalapenos. I drop in about once a week and usually get two or three at a time, bring them home and immediately freeze them for later use in winter when making chili con carne, or chili mac/spagetti, or to slice up into fried potato chunks for breakfast, or to spice up a pot of Dinty-Moore Beef Stew, or etc..... 
A dozen or so frozen jalapenos last me all fall, winter and spring. 
my eyeballs ache. hip joints ache.
yawwwnulusss
if i fall into a coma of yawwwns would anyone notice
is anybody out there?
gluten is not related to glutes.
a moment on the lips forever on the hips.
...I now get several slices of pepperocini on my sandwiches there. Still a little bit of "zing" but not as overwhelming has jalapenos When I want to spice things up these days at home, I use Tapatio, Tumeric root, or Sriracha depending on what I am cooking.
