'Nother complaint: I just looked outside and thought that the driveway looked like it had been plowed (without me noticing). But I was mistaken. Apparently the other tenant's car has gone down the driveway and simply sheared off the top 5 inches of snow.
It will be interesting to see how he fares coming back up the driveway. Mua-ha-ha. 
Does anyone know of a good add on for Firefox that makes sure I use amazon smile?
...nice to see the doggie nose back.
...some of the white stuff in the air here but so far nothing sticking.
We're almost to March here, Crocus and Daffodils are usually beginning to bloom by now and yet there are predictions of frozen water from the sky tonight and tomorrow night.
I found a game called Final Fantasy online. I got 30 days of it free I think. not sure if this is a good idea or bad.
...hmm, but will you get any 3D work done then?
Part of the reason I don't deal with computer games. The other part is most are just "shoot/slice/cast magic at em ups" which get's boring after a while.
Would love X-Plane (which is an aircraft simulator) but I'd have to be pulling in a lot more than I do to get the large screen triple display system, up to date GPUs, and the actual aircraft flight control interfaces (control yoke, central console [with throttles and flaps controls for transport aircraft], axillary throttles, mixture control, and carburetor heat for vintage light aircraft, rudder pedals, etc, etc, etc...) as well as one of those expensive gamer chairs. Just doesn't give one the proper "feel" and experience doing it with a game controller or using the keyboard, particularly after flying a real plane.
Of course, still wouldn't mind that pipe organ simulator I posted pics of a while back either
No, so it is not a good thing, I guess.
...bugger, Protozoon's store is part of the Mad Artist sale tonight (and the Cello just appeared as a new release), however the included poses for it and the other instruments are useless as they are only for G8. His Grand Piano had poses for both G3 and G8. Checked the store to see if there was a Pose Conversion utility or script but none. As G8 loads in the "A" instead fo "T" position, I'm sure there will be distortion issues just trying to use the poses "out of the box" (they have a converter for 3 to 8 but not the other way).
Hi! The G3->G8 pose converter/corrector works the other way too. I use it all the time. (Btw, My older cello poses set for G3 works with this new cello that has smart props with base pose also for G3 and G2.)
Complaint: Forks on small dinner plates. What is it about the design of a typical stainless steel fork eating utensil that causes them to jump from the surface of a small ceramic dinner plate?
I live alone and don't take my meals at a conventional dining table. I prepare my food in my small kitchen and usually don't use standard large dining plates but rather use the smaller 8 inch (20cm) plates in the set and carry my loaded plate to my computer table in my office/living room. For decades I've been doing this. Yet despite all the experience and opportunity for learning I still put my fork and spoon on the plate with the food for the journey. But halfway to the table the fork freaks out and jumps from the plate and falls to the floor taking a gram of tomato sauce with it just as I leave the tiled floor of the kitchen and reach the oriental rug in the living room. 
I have learned (to my credit) not to also freak out and try to catch the fleeing fork, quite possibly also dropping the spoon or the plate in the process (it only took once to learn that trick). 
If I were designing flatware for bachelors I would find some magnetic or adhesive or clamping way to secure the fork. Perhaps it's the height that freaks out the fork. Perhaps a little hood over the fork so that it couldn't see how high it was? There are, of course, other more practical suggestions but all violate the code of bachelorhood. 
Hold the fork with your thumb over it and the edge of the plate. (yes, the voice of experience)

Non-complaint: Decided to forgo my normal Tuesday uptown chores today. Nothing critical. That permits me to leave the car buried and hope that the weather changes its mind again and melts it out for me by Saturday or next Tuesday. This also permits me to use the time wisely (not as if I didn't have lots of other times to use wisely
) and create my masterpiece of gustatory delight, "Chili-Mac a la LG". 
I make and freeze in smaller containers enough for 14 to 21 meals depending on how closely I'm following doctor's orders. It's my most complex cooking adventure. Onion, mushroom slices & pieces, ground beef, elbow pasta, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, jalapeno pepper, chilli pepper, cayenne pepper, and TLC. Mmmm..., yum! 
And it's all fresh ingredients too. Well, the onion, beef, and jalapeno are. The rest is fresh out of the cans and box. 
My other half was a Cordon Bleu chef. I didn't learn a thing from him because he shoo'd me out of the kitchen when he was creating. I miss him.
Question... Does the thing on the doofy guy’s head look like it could be a tinfoil hat or just a shiny knit cap?...
The stupid thing I sculpted looks tinfoil, but it’s 85.5 megabytes as is... I decimated it down to 5 mb... but it looks kinda soft now.
It looks like tinfoil to me. Maybe he spent a lot of time and love on moulding it into a nicely hatlike shape. He'll be wearing it a lot, after all... I'd go to his presentation. Who knew squirrels were so dangerous!?
think i caught stomach flu
oh the misery, cant keep down water
i'm at work with a bucket on my lap
Thanks. It was supposed to look more like a well worn hand moulded kind... as opposed to the paper hat shaped ones.
And yes, squirrels are the most dangerous creatures in the galaxy... well, this one anyway.
Yeesh... I’m assuming the bucket is not filled with lollipops and cupcakes.
Sorry to hear that... feel better.
Foil hat was my first thought as soon as I saw it! Not tin foil, though. I don't think they make that anymore. Aluminum foil. Or, aluminium, for our friends from across the pond!

I don't know about dangerous, but they sure are clever.

Tin Foil ($$$): https://www.amazon.com/99-995-1-5x2x0-002-Element-Chemistry-Sample/dp/B07DFZMHJM
or roll your own (a LOT less expensive): https://www.rotometals.com/tin-ingot-99-9-pure/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhJHM4Kba4AIVm0wNCh3giw0gEAQYASABEgKT7fD_BwE
What would I want a tiny piece of tin foil for?
..ah, usually when a conversion tool says "older to newer" that is the only direction it goes. For example, Zev0's G2F to G3F pose converter is onty "one way". Is that in the store (didn't see it on the MM page)?
...ugh, no good. Any way you can leave early for home?
Thanks, I was hoping it didn’t look too soft. “Tinfoil hat” is more of a name associated with believers in conspiracies or paranoid individuals.
It looks like a Jiffy-Pop pan on his head.
Nostalgia? Science experiment? Covering a tiny container?
Yeah... it does... there could be popcorn underneath... why not keep your popcorn warm while shielding your brain from thought probing rays?
Back to the tin foil topic. Amazon will sell you three square inches of real tin foil 2 thousandths of an inch thick (0.0508mm) for $19.95. That's $6.65 per square inch.
Whereas Rotometals.com for $21 will sell you an ingot of tin 3/4 x 1.5 x 4 inches. Which, with the right tools and considerable effort, you could flatten to 2,250 square inches (15.625 sq. feet) at 2 thousandths of an inch thick. That's $0.0093, Or slightly less than a penny per square inch.
A roll of store brand heavy duty aluminum foil containing 50 sq. ft. 0.304 mm thick can be purchased for about $2.77 which is $0.00038 or about four hundredths of a penny per sq. inch.
How badly do you want real tin foil?
Wow, I missed this reply. Excellent information. Thanks for the message bringing it to my attention. Trying this is now on my to-do list. Thanks.
