...Id rather they change it then leave it as is as I'd rather have more light later in the day. Depressing when the sun sets at 16:25 where I live (and with the west hills in the way it's more like 15:50).
Tori HD for G8F is in the FastGrab...but it's listed as full price...shows at full price on the individual page, too. But it shows correctly discounted in the cart!

who loves the harbor freight?
Why would anyone want a mail-order basement geek?
It's like the Daz Store was run by witches!
It was for the geekless families.
Thanks Dana... I checked out TubeDepot... that Nixi watch is cool... too bad it only displays two digits and is so expensive. I've wanted to make something using Nixi tubes, but they average $200 bucks per tube so, just for my own amusement, that isn't happening...
I was looking for some other stuff this morning and remembered a place I used to buy small tools from, they didn't have what I was looking for, and over time they have changed a bit from what they started out as, but since I was just there and it's fresh in my mind, I figured some of the folks here who make stuff might find it interesting to look at... sometimes they carry stuff I haven't seen before or isn't easy to find... this morning I found a modable self adhesive plastic they carry, that might be useful for certain projects.
Anyway, in case anyone is interested, here is their site... https://www.micromark.com/?_ga=2.92484765.1633810908.1583497217-307164087.1583497217
Does anyone else have this problem with not being able to delete a draft... I keep deleting drafts of posts I don't finish, I'm doing it the right way, it goes away from the text box, I make a post, it doesn't show up and then a few minutes or hours later, it's back in the text field...
Also the forum seems to randomly resurrect old posts I've made, days after they were posted... I'll click on the text box which is blank and all of a sudden it's filled with an old post I made... or sometimes it's just there when I open the page.
Well... love isn't the word I'd use... but I do have quite a few of those free flashlights that you get when you buy something...
Thats just what's lying around near the computer... not including the ones stuck to the side of the fridge (they are magnetic), all over the shop, in the basement and almost every drawer in the house.
I love the warning label on them...
It should just say... ! WARNING ! This WILL kill you!
But I'm a madman... I don't use goggles when I'm using the flashlight...
Edit... right after I posted that I found six more lying around nearby...
Yeah... I go there a lot...
They are good for cheap tools you won't need to use too frequently... or cheap power tools or hand tools you want to convert into something else.
Are you using the "gear" icon at the top right of the forum page? However, first refresh the current page you're on and then open the "gear" to select "Delete Drafts". I used to tear my hair out (thus my current scalp situation) trying to permanenty get rid of ill-thought out posts, until I found the "gear". Works perfectly for me every time but you have to remember to refresh the page before you try to use the "Delete Drafts" option.
Regarding Nixie tubes. Old gasoline pumps used to have lots of Nixie tubes. Perhaps a trip to a junk yard?
I loaded a full outfit onto G8F. I decided that I did not like the shoes in the scene, because it is a beach scene. Who would wear high heals on the beach. well now instead of wearing high heals, she is on her tip toes. Oh I just thought of something I could have her shoes next to a chair or a beach blanket. She had to wear shoes to go to the beach.

Lama hat should be made from straw and real flowers so that he could eat it (most likely evolution of that situation) without harm.
Complaint: Running to catch bus. Grrrr.. I made my once a month trip into the city yesterday. Caught the morning bus into the city. Had my trip all planned out including the transfer at the main hub to another bus headed to my blood test location. But the driver on the first bus said he could take me directly there. Nice, but he didn't know exactly where it was and I didn't have the exact address. So, we drove around the general area couple times until I spotted it a block from where he thought I should get off. He learned something that day. And although I appreciated getting dropped off at the door instead of having to walk a block up one of Jamestown's steep hills 5 minutes later than my original plan would have gotten me there. Blood testing went fine, she hit oil in my arm on the first try
and didn't have to poke me four times before having to move to a vein in my hands (ouch)
I was in and out of the testing place in 12 minutes. And just in time to catch the next bus on the corner to go a mile up the hill to McDonalds to break my fast. Then had to wait for another hour to catch the next bus, so I toddled over to Tim Horton's for a bavarian cream donut and hot chocolate and to pick up a half-dozen plain donuts using a coupon. Mmm, donuts.
So after toddling back to the shopping center where the bus would stop and on the bench and waited. Here's the complaint part. The bus was early and didn't stop where the benches were but continued on another 100 feet or so and waited about 20 seconds while I was running behind it frantically waving my hands and bus pass. Apparently that bus has no mirrors because she pulled out and left me there clutching my heart and yelling nasty profanities at her. Attracting the attention of people wondering if I was going to drop dead on the pavement like a scene from "Dr. Zhivago". I disappointed them all but was not going to wait yet another hour for the next bus so I toddled back to Tim Horton's where there was Internet connectivity and ordered an Uber. So I watch my Uber app and see the car coming down the map getting closer and closer then it goes by and goes back and forth on some streets a few blocks from me all the time saying something like "arriving in 30 seconds". I started to think the car was on the other side of the building so I fast walked (no more running for the day) to see, but nope, not there either. About 10 minutes later the car finally shows up at the original pickup point. Driver said she had to get gasoline. 
I wish I'd known, I would have continued to sit in Tim Hortons sipping hot chocolate instead of being a target for inattentive drivers in the parking lot.
However, at the end of the day I got home had all my purchases from drugstore and donut shop. The only thing I didn't get from my list was the trip to the liquor store, wasn't open.
Oh, well, I'll survive. But no more running after a bus.
who was that lady who had a tag hanging from her hat? cant remember if was hee haw,

Yup, the gear icon at the main page of the particular forum... like for example the Commons or Art Studio. Then you pick "Drafts" and then you are in "My Drafts" and you click the little blue "x" next to the post you wish to delete... the "Confirm" window opens and it asks "Are you sure you want to do that?" and you pick "Okay" or "Cancel" ... if you pick "Okay" the "My Drafts" window opens back up and the post has disappeared... if you go back to the gear icon and look at drafts, you'll see the post is gone... so if you had two, it's now one... or nought if you had one... or ninety nine if you had one hundred... unless you deleted all of them, in which case it would be zero... unless you deleted twenty five in which case it would be seventy five... unless you... never mind...
So the weird thing is that post is now gone... so I go back to the thread I deleted it from, and the text box is empty... I write something else and post it... that nonsense I just wrote (not the deleted stuff) shows up in the thread, fully posted and after it's posted for all to see the text box at the bottom is still blank, waiting for me to post more nonsense... but having expended my short attention span, I go on to something else... so maybe a few hours later I come back and when I open that same page, that original post I deleted is sitting in the formerly blank text box mocking me.
Sometimes there are variations on that... like earlier I deleted something, wrote something different, posted that, then went to write another post and the moment I clicked on the blank, inactive text box (no blinking blue cursor) to activate it, the old deleted post showed back up...
This stinks of dark cloud magic... I think the souls of deleted posts get trapped in a limbo of cloud servers where evil cloud spirits corrupt them and send them back to haunt me.
Or the forum software sucks...
Who knows... I often attract supernatural phenomena, so anything is possible.
Nixie tubes... I forgot about that... I'd love to visit a junkyard that would have actual old junk in it... anything for 75 miles around here is modern junk... nothing interesting or special... and nobody lets you wander around taking stuff apart... you ask them for it and they bring you whatever they deem to be worth removing... sucks with car stuff, because they sometimes remove associated parts of an assembly and want to charge you separately.
I'd have to go way upstate to somewhere, some junkyard nobody would care about or know about to find anything interesting... junkyards around here are terrible and forget about scrap yards... they crush, chop or compact everything, so nothing is salvageable... and god forbid you see something interesting, they ask a ridiculous price for something they are going to destroy... I gave up on that a while back.
My friend who collects BMW bikes goes to swap meets and antique machinery shows in the US and Germany and he finds incredible stuff... someone actually gave him a center turntable gear from an old crane... it's like four feet in diameter... he had it turned into a really cool table... it weighs a million pounds, but it looks cool.

Why did they remove the upload photo ability in the instagram windows 10 app? or did I not see it because they moved it somewhere?

Regarding ghosting drafts: Gremlins!
Look out for armadillos that look like they're wearing backpacks. Those are actually parachutes! Why a burrowing, nocturnal critter with a shell for a body would need a parachute, I have no idea. But I'm thinking they may be on to something, and could possibly be the only creatures (outside of cockroaches, that is) that might survive the next upheaval.
Or figure out how to slow down time and give yourself another 3 hours worth of sleep instead of losing 1.
In the Detroit area, we used to buy tubes at Lafayette Electronics.
You can still buy c-clamps at Lowes/Depot or various woodworking supply places.
So you're saying we should have never created guard rails? That changes my entire life's paradigm!
So you ate some of it then? Hey, it's either that or you slept in it. Carpe Diem!
FC/FS (without other options) seems archaic. Do they cast spells over you if you fail the driver test?
I still have a library of 10,000 songs for when streaming services aren't doing well. And I keep multiple playlists on Pandora. They change over time, so I can go back to an old one and still hear different songs than before.
It was changed nearly 3 Presidential administrations ago, or about 13 years. Changed in 2007, from a law that Congress passed in 2005. Hope you had a great nap!

"Roughing it" with Pink Moscato? There are worse things in life.
You're retired, don't have a commute, and don't need to get kids to school in the morning or home from band, swim, or karate practice in the late afternoon. In fact, you can pretty much choose when to come and go from your home every day and don't need to plan 5 to 7 days a week to plow the fields or go to a job; things that are made easier or more difficult depending on where the sun is in the sky.
So I'm honestly curious: What do you care the precise time of sunrise and sunset?
Raising hand.
I have those same LED flashlights, and in the same color too!
I have the answer for the bi-annual time shifts. Just stop doing it.
Simply make the length of hours variable. A little bit during the day so that the sun always rises and sets at specific times and noon is always when the sun is highest. Computerized clocks are completely capable of shortening and lengthing the hours as needed. Much easier than tweaking the angular momentum of the Earth.
Scientists can still measure their time by atom vibrations but people don't need to.

(And there's that silent "L" again. My uncle was a "Ral-f" not a "Ray-f") Silent "L"s, bah, humbug.
I think I lost my tv remote again. Either that or I forgot where I put it last night when it was bed time. or it fell off the bed after I went to sleep last night.
...oh gees, model railroading, My old passion. Would love to go back to it now that i have more time on my hands, but don't have the room and am already involved in this particular hobby.
...hmmm, the Easter Llama.
Yeah, somebody gave me one of those free flashlights too. Buttons are horrible.
Light could kill.
Complaint: Remember the UPS batteries I ordered? One went into my currently in-use unit. The other went into a nearly identical unit that had been sitting on the shelf unplugged, batteryless and unused for three years. At first all seemed OK, except it was odd that one of the brand new batteries (with sequential serial-numbers ...087, and ...088) was nearly depleted and needed recharging, but the other one that I placed in the long idle unit registered 100% full when first turned on. I thought that was odd, considering that the batteries had probably been stored at the APC warehouse for the same length of time in the same environment. Now two days later the unit starts beeping at me despite being plugged in with no load and the display screen on the unit says the battery is 100%.
So, I initiate a chat with APC technical help desk and we get down and dirty with testing, and we plug and unplug the unit, remove and reinsert the battery, press menu buttons, press reset buttons, and BINGO, the battery status suddenly reports 0%
Now we're not even sure the unit is charging properly so we're waiting 24 hours for the unit to charge before continuing the test. Boogers. Gremlins! 
Edited to add: Yay, the "Estimated run time" on the unit's display is going up. So, yay, it seems to be charging.
I hope it gets to the top.
Just discovered them recently. Store on the next exit down 24 from me. Theyr'e good for small things, but big dollar items, I think I'd stick with things like DeWalt, Kobalt, etc. Some exceptions, though.
