    ...some solar "pyrotechnics" before the holiday

    wow!

    If I took a nap in the sun, would I die?

    Yes.  Yes, you would.  So fast you'd probably never even notice.  Though, come to think of it, just getting to the surface of the sun to try to take a nap on it, much less IN it, would kill you long before you got to the destination.  It is, after all, a nuclear fusion reactor.  The surface is 5500°C, and the core is at about 15 million °C.  If you could somehow just appear on the surface of the sun, or deeper inside it, you would vaporize almost instantly.

    Though I've heard it's a fascinating experience.....

    Sizzling in the UK as well.  Glasgow Scotland had recorded a new record high of 89°.  Must be so hot that Swindon's weather page was knocked offline.

     

    It's been high 80s around Oxford all week. Pleasantly hot, but not as opressive as the heat we had back in May. Of course, in the office with the renderers going, it is a little hotter!

    Are the making hot renders?

    Please don't tell me you're rendering people. surprise But yes it can be a very hot process but one can get some quality tallow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(animal_products)

    You don't work for the Soylent Green company do you?

    It's a thing now...

    Okay... Just the name and brand... I may have photoshopped the label a little... Just a little.

     

    But seriously who names a company that?

     

    Must be people who've never seen the movie...or perhaps they did it on purpose?  They used to say that even bad publicity is publicity.

    never seen the movie, dont get the referencecool

    If you ever see someone in a movie crying out "it's made of people!!"... That's a reference to the movie... Something like what Charleton Heston end up screaming at the end of the movie.

    I'm trying to figure out what level the humidity has to reach when fish can swim in the air... I'm not finding any credible references, but it's humid enough here and I'm being followed around by a rather plump yellow perch... 

    Arrrrgh... It's really gross outside... It's like being inside a dog's mouth... Only warmer and more humid.

    Never seen the movie! surprise  How can you have missed it?  It was all the rage in 1973. indecision

    Movie: "Soylent Green".  Set in 2022.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green  The world is overpopulated.  Pollution contaminates land based food.  The oceans provide all nutrients but the the fish have all died, and the plankton are now nearly all gone too.  The government issues food wafers called Soylent Red made from the plankton.  Everybody lines up in long lines for it, but it's becoming rare.  A new product called Soylent Green appears on the market and is easier to get.   At the end of the movie the hero (Charleton Heston) sneaks into the Soylent corporation plant and discovers the source of Soylent Green.

    Hmmm... 2022, is this this generation's "1984"?  I'd think twice about ordering a bottle of Soylent Green. surprise  And watch out for Soylent Green wafers too.

    And the atmosphere of the Sun is even hotter than the surface!  This is still a subject of fascination for the scientists.

    ...grab it fillet it, roll the fillets in a bit of flour and throw them in a well oiled skillet at about medium heat.  Make some fries, get some coleslaw and you have the perfect Milwaukee Friday Fish Fry (even though it's only Monday).

    Now that's good Eatin'.

    Mr. Pedantic here (with advice from Captain Obvious).  Careful consideration of the phrase "a nap in the Sun" could be interpreted to mean "within the spectral influence of the Sun".  In which case, a lounge chair in your backyard would provide a safe way to have a nap in the sun.  As long as you take precautions about your particular sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.  It would not be necessary to put yourself inside the Sun's corona, or even outside the Earth's atmosphere.  And if you think about it, the Sun also extends itself physically all the way to the Earth and beyond via its solar mass ejections.  So, during a period of Northern lights one could consider one's self physically "in the Sun".  But that's stretching it a bit.  Just use the lounger in your backyard, much easier.

    ...way too early AM complaint.  For some reason lately when I right click on an icon, Windows goes into a protracted search routine that sometimes lasts for several minutes. This even occurs sometimes when I am attempting to create a new folder, extract a zip file, or expand a listing in the main directory tree. Tonight it happened on just about every right click instance and pretty much locked the system, up to the point I couldn't even open task manager. It was getting so frustrating that I almost pushed the reset button which would ha meant needing to deal with an "unscheduled shutdown" which creates all sorts of inconvenience, requiring a second routine shutdown and boot up after the system comes back up the first time..

    Hmm... Today... Actually just now I kinda realized something... When I look at the forums here (and I actually happen to still be signed in) there is usually a notation next to the time of the last post, which indicates how many new posts there have been since you last viewed the thread.

    Most times it's quite a few... Nearly twenty or more, or I happen to be reading the forums in general and there are just a few before I write something dumb... A lot of times though, I'll look over the posts and somehow I'll miss one... A few times it's been one with a pretty obvious picture attached.

    When I come back and notice that, I'll be confused as to how I missed it... On one occasion there was a MooTube video attached that a few people quoted... I didn't recall seeing any of them, but I really only "skimmed" the page, so I thought somehow I missed them, though I couldn't really see how.

    Also, there have been quite a few times where I have seen "12 New" or "15 new" and after viewing the page, briefly thought to myself "hmmm... That didn't seem like twelve or fifteen"... But, I never thought enough of that to check... 

    But just a little while ago I came back to this thread and saw "10 new"... I looked at the thread, didn't count the number of new posts, but noted it didn't seem like ten, maybe eight, I left the thread and came back (I accidentally click back on the thread) and sure enough, two posts which weren't there showed up... Both with quotes and images (Tjohn and Summerhorse).

    I'm chalking that up to iPad/Apple nonsense...

    I keep finding emails in my spam box saying something like "Stop sending me your photos." or "Hey YOU, Please stop sending me your photos. :) Thanks,"  Looks odd as they never get my name right.  Also I do not send any photos to who ever they are.
