What I think of Apple anyway!

Why do you still depend on the ebots? Just mark the thread as bookmarked, then every now and then check My Bookmarks, or better, do what I do...leave a tab open on the bookmarks page and every now and then refresh the page. It will show how many new messages are in each bookmarked thread. Simple, and keeps the ebot spam traffic down!

Nice. Is that one of those HDRI environments? Or just a background image? Too bad they still haven't done something about ground and grass looking more real. With the new render engines like iRay and Reality, it becomes the weakest link in the chain.
Dana
Nice to see you, Jan. Of course you're welcome. And yes, it just helps.
Dana
Thanks.
Good to see you, too. I think I'll observe for awhile. It'll be hard to top some of the posts in this thread.
We're all normal here. If a visitor is surprised then I suggest it is they who are in an altered state! Participation is encouraged. As suggested by the various incarnations of the thread titles for this long, long running thread this is a "complaint" thread in which one can unload one's petty misgivings of the cruelties of life, as a cathartic attempt to heal one's self. However, between genuine complaints (which are sometimes rare), the addicted members of this thread often exchange meaningless observations just for the hell of it. The DAZ staff have not yet rapped our knuckles over our lack of DAZ related topics. I believe because they feel that it keeps us safely entertained and controlled and out of the other threads.
lol. if yoo not in altered state, soon will be
Torrential downpours in northeastern US to ease heat wave, raise flash flood risk
is 2 inches of rain a lot?
soggy.
heat index saying 102° / 39°
this storm should break the heatwave.
word of the day, popliteal
Pounce.
just wanna scritch that furry belly.
That's not just any bat.....that's a Flying Fox. (You can tell, since it has no tail). What you can't tell from the video is just how BIG that bat is. Flying Foxes can grow to have a body that is around 24" in length, with up to an 8 foot wingspan.
They're adorable fruit eaters. But I can honestly say I'd never seen one swimming before....thanks for sharing it!
Sounds like a good strategy.
And yes, I live in an altered state; I often wonder if I've found a wormhole. This thread sounds like a good place for me to observe for awhile, since I do tend to pop a cork sometimes and derail other threads. So thanks to you and Dana for the welcome.
Well, as I was just sayin' in the above post...
But if you wanted to roll it around the house without adding wheels... Could you? I think not... that's why the Mac Pro is clearly the only computer under $20,000 that you can roll around or play spin the bottle with... None of which is covered in the warranty, but its clearly a bargain if you need your computer to roll.
Think Different.
Think Expensive.
I can't really tell you... I've never lived in an unaltered state... I spent some time in Nebraska once... But I don't think that counts.
Didn't think I was the only one.
I tried that with my kid's lynx -- AKA Persian -- once. It clawed the fire out of my face.
Speaking of cats...there's a video -- videos -- on YouTube of a cat, in a Superman costume, on a little Hover-round, or whatever those little vacuum cleaners are called. Seems like that'd fall in the category of cruel and unusual, but I swear, it looked like that cat was totally happy. :-)
Need To Buy Groceries Culinary Abomination No. 876B:
SPAMILONI
Requires:
•One can of prewar SPAM
•An open jar of "Artichoke Hearts in oil"... Apparently marinated too...
• A handful of basil leaves yanked off of your wife's (or other kind of spouse, or neighbor's) Basil plant.
• A shallow bowl with some Balsamic Vinegar... I would recommend "Of Modena" type... Not like "Of Newark" or "Of Sunderland".
• (Opinional) A small dead flying insect.. Maybe a gnat.
• A lack of concern about eating potentially bad food.
Directions:
Open refrigerator and curse about you being the only one who ever seems to go shopping and how everyone would have to turn to cannibalism if you dropped dead one day... Dig out most of the aforementioned ingredients from fridge (gnat will place itself in balsamic vinegar later).
Look forlornly at ingredients and remember there are some basil plants outside and basil is probably good for taking the edge off of food poisoning...
Collect leaves and wash them in case you or a stray cat has peed on them...
Open can of SPAM... Do not attempt to serve or eat SPAM without opening can first. Turn can upside down over a plate and squeeze ends enough to cause air to suck past the sticky fat inside and release the gelatinous lump, dog food-like into plate.
Fill shallow bowl with about a half inch of balsamic vinegar.
Watch small gnat commit suicide in bowl... (Optional) curse and pick it out.
Slice SPAM and put a 1/4 slice into balsamic vinegar. Place basil leaf on top of it...
Stare at it and say... "It needs something else"...
Open fridge and consider either sweet mini pickles or Northern Chinese style fried chicken gizzards... Notice artichoke hearts and realize that's probably better.
Place artichoke heart segment in balsamic vinegar to soak for a few minutes... Then stab it through with a fork or rusty bayonet... stab basil covered SPAM slice with that and stuff it in your face before too much of the balsamic vinegar drips off
Curse about the balsamic vinegar stains everywhere.
Serves one person with indiscriminate appetite or a family of large voles, depending on amount found or how greedy and hungry you are.
Serving suggestions: Do not serve or prepare on a Ferris wheel or roller coaster.
As with any of my culinary treats, do not expect to not get some sort of bowl distress... But despite the looming specter of that, this is not that bad... A picked, deep fried rat probably has fewer calories and is healthier, but you didn't have one in the fridge did you?
If you did, eat that with the sweet pickles, it's not bad either.
Enjoy.
complaint - weather greater inconvenience than usual, or so it seems.
Lagoon Living looks like a masterpiece of a set so far ...
No, that's about right... It's very... Dog mouth outside... Like you are walking around inside a giant dog's mouth.
That's a good alternative to counting sheep... "One kitty in the face... Two kitties in the face... Three kitties in the face..."
Well, maybe not for someone with felineaphobia...
That's a Meowian... You can tell them from earth cats by... Well... Their language and tool use... And in this case the way this slightly drunk one walks up to the bar.
Yes... I'm several days behind in reading this thread and reading it completely out of order.
I went through Nebraska once. East to west on the Interstate riding my motorcycle with south to north wind gusts of 30 miles an hour. It was miserable. However, along the way I did get to see the Great Nebraska Forest.
I saw that too... Pretty sure I peed on it... Raised by wolves, so that's my tree/forest now.
...as I am "involved" in other...ahem..."RL" matters, there are a tonne of emails I have to read and reply to every morning so it is more natural just to click on the Daz inbox after that. Seems if I miss a day, is when things get weird.
...of course as long as those complaints stay within TOS I think we are OK. Also posting a few pics of work someone's done now and then or occasionally discussing a 3D matter (even if it is just mentioning that a new product is available) seems to be enough to keep the thread sort of on the topic of 3D.
...grew up in Wisconsin but that was decades before that state became altered.
LOL.
I just hate it when that happens.
I've never been to Nebraska, but I've been to Alabama - I was born in Tennessee, but I really don't rememba.
