Complaint: My cell phone battery is dying.
It used to lose only 6% overnight but it just recently started losing 50% overnight.
It is, however, 3 years old (magic number for battery life) so I should have expected it.
Non-complaint: My cell phone battery is dying but fortunately I have a cheap a$$ phone that is several years old so the battery is removable and replaceable. Yay for ancient technology! I've already ordered a new battery from Amazon for $10.
And as a "Prime" member it will be here by Thursday.
Complaint: Both of my computer UPS batteries are three years old as is my car battery.

my stomach is making weird sounds again... i suspect that in any moment an alien will burst out and ruin this top.
maybe i should change...
but i would want to look cute when i die...
Perhaps not a practical suggestion but I've always wondered if spreading moisture drinking nappies or "Depends" on the rug and walking on them would suck enough water out. Might work if the spot is small enough.
But there's always the possibility of renting a wetvac type of carpet cleaning machine or even paying professionals to do it. Yeah, $$$ but so is replacing moldy rugs, or conversely not replacing moldy rugs and breathing in toxic mold for the rest of your life.
I think you should talk to your landlord/lady about this. It sounds like it was no fault of yours, and there's probably some insurance that will cover some of the cost of drying it out. Even Americans have tenants' rights!
my attempt to make poles of neon didn't work out...
My English teachers would have marked this, because 'As a Prime member it will be here by Thursday' means that the new battery is a Prime member. It should be 'As a Prime member, I will receive it by Thursday.'
So there. Pedanticism to complain about.
Sent you a message. Need your help.
Thanks.
How bad is it?... Also, does the flooded area have a basement or crawl space below or is it on a solid slab (concrete floor)?
A solid slab poses more of a mold risk if there is no vapor barrier or it sits around wet too long.
if it’s a patch bigger than 5’x5’ and it’s soaking wet... like puddling wet, then it might be a good idea to rent a shop-vac... if you frequently have this problem, buying one might not be a bad idea. Home Depot has a thing called “Bucket Head” which is a super cheap alternative to a shop-vac... it’s basically the power head of a shop vac meant to fit on an ordinary 5 gallon bucket... it’s around $25 and if you need a buck they are usually around $3-$4... it’s not a powerful as a regular shop-vac, but it’s a light weight alternative...

If you have the room, a shop-vac with wheels might be better, but those start at $60 generally and have a bit of weight... I mentioned the bucket head thing because I know you have a bit of difficulty getting around and that and a bucket would fit in one of those folding shopping wagons... I think you once said you had one, or possibly I imagined that, but either way it’s small and light and cheap.
If the wet area is small enough, you can sop it up with towels, but that’s a lot of work.
When most of the moisture is removed and you are down to a damp carpet, you might want to get couple of spray bottles of Lysol and work the spray into the carpet to discourage mold and mutant strains of flesh eating fungus from forming. The mutant fungus is really only a problem if you have lots of radioactive waste laying around.
Good luck.
i is in the downstairs, concrete under the carpet. house is in a hill, is like a hobbit house. 2 walls have windows.
mold. the rain may have washed in bug eggs. uck.
i only glad was too hot to vacuum yesterday. hate to waste a good hoover chore.
i stuck in access again.
trying to format in a string to 3 characters. it changes my 3 hashtags to 1. >.<
ANUM: "NYC" & Format(Now(),"yyyy") & Format((Last(Right([AUTHN],3)))+1,"###")
do i need to format the number into text?
Do you use APC UPS backups? They're good for at least five years. I actually replace them, APC will send a label to send the old one back, no charge to you. I usually buy a new UPS after two battery replacements.
As for car batteries, I get the best I can when I have to buy one. I think the latest one I got is a 7 year battery. I thin it's the third battery I've had in the Camry XLE. Just got it last year sometime. The car is a 2003. The first battery, of course, was the factory one.

If the carpet is that soaked, then so is the padding underneath. That should be removed and replaced. It will get mold. Many people never consider the padding, they just worry about the carpet. The carpet can probably be saved. Unless it's been flooded a few times in the past. Then the backing starts to delaminate, then it, too, needs to be replaced. If the carpet came with the apartment, call your landlord right away and let him know about this. It should be his responsibility to get it all remedied. I had to do this a couple times for my basement (finished basement). Carpet cleaner guy removed the padding, removed as much water from the carpet as possible with his machine, then left air blowers to dry it out for a day or two. Then I had to get a carpet installer to put in new padding and reinstall the carpet on that. The alternative, as was mentioned by LG, is take the chance and perhaps end up sick, or worse, from breathing toxic mold that keeps growing in the padding until it speads to the carpet, and perhaps other natural items, like wood trim cloth covered furniture, wood furniture.

Definitely a landlord job. his insurance may cover it. the padding is definitely soaked.
figured out access problem/. needed 000 not ###
Complaint: I just discovered that the forum pages, the individual threads, are not secure!
Dana
I think it might be due to all the externally linked images.
Dana
it depends on what people are uploading. You have to remember that people have images, sometimes from non daz sites, and not just in their posts. People have links, as you do, to their own sites, to other sites like Deviant Art, even to 3rd party emoticon sites. The forum software will react to those as being uncheckable or not secure.
so tilly
need to get the last order number and increment by 1
order numbers look like this NYC19-048
tried simple groupby query
tried dmax lookup
Assuming that I am a Prime member then the problem with the sentence is an incorrect noun. Substitute "item" for "member" and it could work that way too. More than one way to skin a cat. Or, pedanticism sprays both ways.
Skunk wars! 
my renders look like poo today...
Were you rendering crap?
Crap, I am expecting a USPS package on Monday. It cannot be canceled. I probably will get into trouble but there is nothing I can do right now.
Not intentionally.
I was playing with making primitives emissive and getting terrible results. spots all over.
I made her get dressed. I had version where I covered the nudity with Plymouth Dusters.
maybe it just isn't enough light... or too much reflection... or
It needs longer to converge or more light to fill it in (and adjust Tone mapping to compensate). Is the backdrop part of the render or from saving as JPG?
It was rendering way faster than normal, I went back to my trusty spot and got better results.
I'll have to investigate Tone mapping. I've not done anything with that.
The backdrop is rendered. I had a reflective surface on it originally but turned that off. Normally I would have removed it but I was trying different things... most were fails. :)
The background object may be the issue then - as it's pretty much unlit it converges very quickly, and it makes up a large proportion of the scene's pixels. Iray (by default) stops when 95% of the pixels are converged, so here that means all of the background and at best just a few of the figure's.
Thank you. Good to know but ewww... That seems problematic. My main goal was to learn something so that is definitely something!
Did anyone else see a glimpse of a purple cat?
