    Commack has two stores, the Crooked Hill (spooky sounding) store which they call the “Smithtown” store and the Jericho Turnpike store... that’s the one nearer to Trader Joe’s and Barnes&Nobles... (not a fan of the Jericho HD store at all... the “Smithtown” store is much, much better)

    Heres a screenshot for Crooked Hill... but Jericho turnpike is the same...

    Maybe you need to give it a store location for it to give you delivery options...? 

    I noticed the delivery options disappeared when I didn’t enter a “local store” location...

    What's up with the animals lately?  Are they evoving?  I've seen a lot of videos of cats, sometimes dogs, standing upright like humans.  Maybe they're getting ready to take over after we mess up really bad.

    Whenever Firefox is having issues I swap over to a secondary/backup browser. I keep Opera around for stuff like this - a website FF doesn't want to load, if my addons begin acting up 'cause of an update,  etc.

    Have you people not been listening to me for years?... 

    Geez, these are public service announcements.

    Its the squirrels and the penguins that are behind it all... the cats (mostly the Cat Mafia) are just opportunists waiting for their moment.  All those anthropomorphic cats you see on YouTube are the careless ones who blow their cover because they are mad or distracted by a bird.

    The dogs are on mankind’s side... mostly through bad judgment and because they lack the dexterity to drive pickup trucks (Toyota nailed it in the 90s with that commercial)... 

    The squirrels and the penguins... that’s a story as old as time... well, as old as penguins and squirrels.... 

    Both once ruled vast empires across the galaxy... Well, not this galaxy, another one that was really similar, except it smelled a lot more like fermented Kiwi & Banana Snapple that had been sitting open on the dashboard of a late 80s Buick LeSaber that was parked in the sun in southern New Jersey for way too long... if you know what I mean... 

    Actually, it was really a parallel universe, hence the fermented Kiwi & Banana Snapple smell, but anyway... the Squirrels ruled the left half of the galaxy and the penguins the right half... they argued bitterly over this... not so much who ruled what, it was more about which side was the left and which the right... because in space there is really no “up” or “down” and without an up or down, left and right become pretty meaningless, especially when both sides couldn’t even agree on “my right or your right?”... Technically, millennia before, the Penguinian scientists established that the galaxy was moving away from a central origin point due to a big explosion they dubbed “The Really Large Kaboom” and therefore had established an reference point which they decided could be used to figure out up, down, left, right or sideways (very important, but extremely arbitrary direction in old fashioned hyperspatial travel).  But the Squirrelish empire refused to accept their findings because it was too close to the weekend for them to look at the data and by Monday they forgot what the Penguins were talking about.  

    I’m sure everyone reading this is either bored or not reading this anymore because this is starting to sound like a history lesson and apparently only me and handful of possums that live in my yard seem to enjoy listening to historical accounts... and I’m not sure if the possums are listening or just feigning death when I start talking history.

    Well, assuming you are not laying on the floor pretending to be dead, I’ll wrap this up by saying the Squirrel and Penguin War lasted many thousands of years... Mostly because the Penguins were more interested in eating fish and the squirrels are very easily distracted.

    Eventually the “hostilities” culminated with the rest of the species in the galaxy getting fed up and exiling the squirrels and penguins to the stupidest planet in the most obscure and ridiculous galaxy in the multiverse.

    That, obviously is this one... and ever since then, the squirrels and the penguins have been planning their revenge, longing to return to their own universe to extract their very not completely thought through plan for revenge.

    They’ve been guiding mankind through secret organizations run by greedy humans human willing to sell out mankind for control of the world’s peanut butter supplies... their goal is to get mankind to move off of earth, at which point they’ll seize control of humanity’s space fleets and head off back to their home universe... but that part you are probably aware of and if you are complaining about holes in the story, you realize you are arguing with the logic of squirrels and penguins.

    I hope.

    I’m not going to get into the part about the cats, who are basically almost evenly split into “Earth Cats” and “Space Cats” nor am I going to get into why the Space cats are split into “Good Space Cats” who are trying to help mankind and guide them towards an enlightened future, and the “Evil Space Cats” who are just pissy and evil and looking to rule the universe for themselves...  Mostly because I’m kind of insulted that most of you are laying on the floor pretending to be a rotting corpse.

    That’s very rude and frankly it hurts my feelings... besides, it’s dangerous... what if you got real comfortable and fell asleep and someone buried you?

    Trust me, imitating possums isn’t a great idea.

    Anyway... don’t worry about the anthropomorphic cats and dogs, it won’t really be a big problem for at least another twenty years... unless I messed up my calculations... or there are some sort of unprecedented and ridiculous turns in world politics.

    Even though I’m really bad at math, I put fresh batteries in my calculator, so the figures would have to be accurate... probably.

    Complaint:  I'm not a great fan of the composer Gustav Mahler.frown  I'd like to be though.  He has some really interesting riffs and extracts some unique sounds from the orchestra.  But he is soooo looong winded.  And he repeats way too much and too often.  And all his music sounds alike.  Upon hearing it you think "Oh, it's definitely Mahler", you can tell. It has his signature sound but you could glue all his works end to end, throw out random pages, and call it "Mahler, The Big Picture".  His symphonies tend to way overshoot the traditional four movements and continue to attack us into the 5th and 6th movements.  Coffee and coke are served down the isles of the theater to keep the audience awake till the end so that they leave promptly and the janitors can start cleaning the carpet, and the ambulance crew can get in to remove any remaining catatonic listeners.  A Mahler symphony is the "Cleopatra" of symphonies.  Entertainment so long that you have to pay the babysitter double. 

    For me the most listenable of Mahler's symphonies is his first, the "Titan".  I quite like it.  But they go downhill after that.  For me, great music is an artful, grand building, a palace of sound.  Mahler builds huge office building complexes and souless castles with lots of spikey turrets, moats, drawbridges, cold wet walls, and dungeons with a few small interesting pictures painted in random places.

    OK, why am I dumping on poor Mahler?  I'm trying to listen to his 3rd symphony (again) and I'm almost at the point where the depression is lethal.  Within the first 5 minutes of the first movement you have visions of aerial views of Dresden burning at night, cut with ground views of burning cathedrals, dead burnt bodies, and mushroom clouds.  Mankind at his worst.  That's just the first few minutes and it doesn't get better.  You'd almost think that he was witness to World War II or even WW-I but he died several years before WW-I. 

    I"ve now almost reached the end of the 1st movement of 6.  Excuse me while I go slit my throat. frown

    Gustav Mahler:  Symphony #3:  If you dare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AwFutIcnrU  You find the entry points for the movements yourself (click on "Show More" button), I'm catatonic.

    Recovered from slit throat and catalepsy to find the 2nd and 3rd movements a bit lighter in spirit.  Maybe there's hope for the world.indecision

    Bah humbug, 4th and 5th movements brings in singers moaning and screeching for 15 minutes.  Reconsidering catalepsy again.sad

    Nope, there was no hope for mankind.  6th movement is just gentle rain on the ashes of civilization as nature reclaims our space. indecision

    There was a famous non-meeting of minds between Mahler and Sibelius - one thought a symphony should be a draft of pure spring water, the other thought it should include the world.

    I like that.yes  I've added it to my memory's hoard.  Like Beethoven's retort to a royal host who wanted his services: Prince, what you are, you are through chance and birth; what I am, I am through my own labor. There are many princes and there will continue to be thousands more, but there is only one Beethoven. 

    Or Brahm's comment upon leaving a contentious dinner party: If there is anyone here whom I have not insulted, I beg his pardon.

    Complaint (1) iray takes forever.  (complaint 2 it is that time again.)

    Edit: someone helped me rearrange my desk but now there is a lamp in front of my tv.  I cannot see part of the screen so I got to arrange it again so I can see the screen better.

    Mini-complaint.

    Remember that pic I shared a lil while ago of the Fon character walkin' along with Digi-I's tyranno?  Well the texture on the ground was too uniform I thought, so I spent some hours trying to give the thing its own texture. It... Was frustrating but eventually I got it. I had rocky sort of texture on the slopes and dirt on the 'path'  :D

    So the complaint? It's really blurry, even at 2k texture size. xD   Oh well~

    No complaints here.  If anybody has an extra complaint, I'll yield the balance of my time over to you.  cheeky

    My web designer/maintainer died a couple of months ago. Good friend.

    Now my site is beginning to shed like a Persian cat.

    Anyone know a Wordpress/Comicpress guru? I don't have time to learn to do it myself.

    theyll deliver the 36" door but not the 30

    the 30" not worth their effort?

    Another option is Takl. It's sort of like Uber for small tasks.

    That’s pretty stupid... I wonder why... I checked it out and got the same results... I have to go there later, so I’m going to ask about that.  I’m curious if that’s actually a thing or if there is a way around it.
