    Complaint: My label maker eats batteries like popcorn. angry  I love the labels it makes but 4 fresh AAA batteries don't last very long at all.crying 

    Use Eneloop rechargeables. They have more power (last longer) than normal batteries, keep the charge for several years, and can be recharged up to 2100 times. A lot cheaper in the long run, if you use batteries a lot.

    I think my wireless router is going bad.  I found a replacement for $70 USD.  I need to save some money.

    Save lots of money, use wires. enlightened

    I have a Netgear dual band WiFi router that also has gigabit wired connections.  Everything is on the WiFi except my main computer.  I had the ethernet cable put in by a pro when we bought the house...didn't have WiFi at the time.  Even my printer is on WiFi, and it's pretty fast.  I thought there would be a big delay, but it starts printing right away if it's already warmed up.  I was amazed.

    Not a very serious test IMO, for several reasons. If you read the comments, you'll see that many agree. For example, he doesn't test the self discharge rate, or the number of recharges before they die. I've tried many different, most are fine in the beginning but then they go bad after maybe 100 charges or less.

    I'm not saying Eneloop are superior in all ways, but they are good and well tested, and my point here is just that you can save a lot of money by using rechargeables instead of normal one use batteries, if you choose some that can be recharged many times before they die.

    Non-Complaint: Both Duke and UNC survived to see another game. Still hoping for a matchup in the final 4.

    ...complaint: both Duke and UNC survived. UCF came so close, was up for so long, but couldn't hang on. 

    Time for "new blood" in the Final Four.  Tired of the "same old, same old".

    Oh, and Charlotte defeated Toronto on a half court shot buzzer beater.  My Bucks now 4 games up on Toronto in the East and the magic number for home court throughout the playoffs has been reduced.

    Complaint:  I had a worthy complaint but have forgotten what it was.  It had something to do with memory. frown

    ...felt that way myself, hearing the rain outside this morning.

    Such a beautiful day yesterday.  Took a good walk around the neighbourhood.  Stopped off the one pub I visited a couple weeks ago which has a nice back courtyard, where I sipped a couple excellent dry ciders while sitting in the sun. Stopped off at the market further from home to get the final ingredients I needed for my burritos (the Safeway that is closer no longer sells bulk spices and those little jars are way too expensive).  Cooked up a big batch of my special burrito filling (with 97% lean grass fed ground beef) when I got home. Now have dinners for the next several days.

    ...looks yummy, and easy to do in an air fryer.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,208

    ..asked this question over on the DIM thread but haven't received a reply yet:

    How do you tell before downloading which items go to the Daz 4+ Library and which goes into the older Poser Runtime setup?  I have the Download filter set just to Daz 4.5+ yet I still see a lot of older content and even some "Poser CF" files in the ready to Download listing.  Unlike in the Ready To Install tab there is no way to check the "package files" when in the Ready to Download one.

  • LeatherGryphonLeatherGryphon Posts: 12,290

    There's a special thread for that DIM product? surprise  What's wrong with this picture? indecision

    I gave up on DAZ's smart loader apps especially after they named it "DIM". frown

    What is the actual difference between and air fryer and an electric fan oven?

    (apart form size)

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    i dont use dim

    i like to save my zip files with the exact product name, including spaces

    i like to unzup my latest purchases to a temp folder so i can organize and rename folder to fit my oraganizing sceme.

    i dont like drilling down 5 or more folders.  the only vendor name folders i keep is merlin, nightshift, maclean,

    i separate iconic characters,  hair under coifs, vlothing under fashion.

    poses get 3 degrees of separation

    ...I presume by "electric Fan Oven", you are speaking of "convection ovens".  Actually both use a similar principle of moving air inside the cooking area to enhance the baking process.  For a single person (such as myself) an air fryer is not only more practical, but as a renter, it is more acceptable as most rental management companies tend to frown upon tenants making permanent modifications such as the installation of a full sized convection oven would entail.

    ...I am not about to manually install over 4,500 products, I'll be here for the rest of the year doing that. It's going to be enough of a chore just to install my massive freebie collection and rebuild the Poser Runtime (which is where the worst naming conventions exist).  I have little issue getting around the Daz Library setup.

    During my single days, one of those George Foreman grills was very useful.  Now I also love my air fryer

    all at once?  if i had to start over would install stuff as needed,

    bumch of sets in my lib i never rendered, or were not worth the level of effort.  

    bumch of sets, hiding a wall also loses a chunk of ceiling or floor.

    mog ruith cant hide 1 wall of windows, is all the windows or nothing,  used the poser grouping tool to divide the windows into wall sets, was tedious, wouldnt do it again, unlss i really wanted it for a ender.

    all the offsets in the dream home,

    Since an air fryer doesn’t require oil to fry the foods, it seems to “simulate” frying using convection... I actually like it’s method of cooking more than actual frying because I’m not a fan of oily food. It’s also a lot better at not stinking up the house than oil frying... in regards to an electric fan oven, which I’m assuming is the same as a convection oven, the size of the air fryer seems to change how the convection heat cooks the food... a full size oven doesn’t seem to be able to make the food as “fried”... Also (air fryer) is fun to stick all sorts of stuff into it and see what it comes out tasting like... Well, the canned tuna idea wasn’t a fun result, but other things were... mostly... sorta.

    Is that all? I am currently reinstalling 17,000+ DAZ items and haven't even thought about the non-DAZ items yet
