    I am not sure if you meant that the software is slow or slow as not much posting be done?

    I was at work.  Before work, I met with a lady from my support team to talk about stuff like emotional issues.

    mebbe the latest ds build is so stable, there nothing to complain about.

    I hope I do not get into trouble for laundering a dollar bill.  I think I either laundered a dollar bill when doing laundry yesterday.  There was a chance that it fell out of my chef coat pocket before I washed it.

    Yesterday I got a dollar tip and put it in my chef coat pocket.  I forgot about it until today when I was not home.  When I got home, I had to search to see if I could find that dolllar.  I am glad I found it though.

    ...I've noticed that on Fridays and weekends, the rate of posting slows down some reason.  I find that odd considering as most people have the weekend off, they'd have more time to spend here.

    Unless they deal with family and RL on week ends

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,043

    ...had to deal with RL 5 days a week 12 - 13 hours a day (depending on how bad the commute was) for too many years when I was still a wage slave. Slept half my Saturday away as I was so physically and spiritually drained (the latter from dealing with workplace politics).

    A day an a half of escapism each week, be it role play gaming, being here on the forums, or playing around with Daz. was much needed therapy.

    Complaint: Someone has left what I consider a questionable comment on one of my gallery uploads. It's a picture of two children swimming, and I received a comment that says something along the lines of "Hopefully she's bathing naked." The description of my image specifically states that the girl they're referring to is ten years old. I just feel it's a gross thing to say.

    Flag your image and in the note make it clear it's the comment you are reporting (although I see the poster has apologised now).

    I'll do that next time, if it happens again. The comment, and my reply to it, have disappeared. Maybe someone else reported it.

    Non-complaint:  Yay, the schedule for symphonies at Chautauqua this summer has been posted.  But there is only one that I really want to see.  The Sibelius Symphony #2heart that I've gushed about a couple of times in this forum. (the one that I've described as the perilous journey over the mountains and through the final windstorm just before the grand vision of the goal in sight.)  

    However since I don't have a car anymore I have to consider the cost of an Uber ride 25 miles to and from an evening performance.  So I won't get to too many performances this year.

    But also in the running is the symphony schedule for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) at the marvelous acoustically designed Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo.  There are six performances that I would like to attend.  But being 70 miles away I'd probably rent a car for a day and attend the sunday afternoon performances instead of an evening performance.  Among the pieces scheduled with the BPO this season is the Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2.heart​  Stravinsky's "Firebird".heart​  Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique".heart​  Dvorak's "New World".heart​  Tchaikovsky's "Winter Dreams".heart​  And finally Rachmaninoff's Piano concerto #3.heart​   So, again, probaby only one can be afforded (*SIGH*) Decisions, decisions.frown  BUT, I'd get a nice mini-adventure for a day.  Wheee...smiley

    A white dwarf is often an old big star that went supernova and blew off a lot of its material and the core shrunk to just a dense white hot tiny star instead of further down to a neutron star or farther still to a black hole.

    A red dwarf is often a small star that just barely had enough material to start fusion.  It burns at a low temperature (thus the red color) and despite being small may last many times longer than brighter stars which burn through their fuel quickly.  Red dwarfs are difficult to see without a telescope because they are so small and dim.

  • Charley assumes that if I put goldfish food into her aquarium that she has to eat as much as possible.  What if Summers wants to eat some more goldfish food.  That is probably why Charley is chubby and Summers is lean.  I do not know how to communicate with Charely to cool it down some and let Summers eat more food.  Charley never listens to me.  Instead she gaps her mouth like a fish.

    By the way what does it mean if someone has fish lips?  I know Charley has fish lips, and also fish eyes.  It looks natural on her though.

    Oh My I need to do my chore soon or I will forget to do it.  My chore is to sweep the porches.  I hate sweeping them when they have a lot of leaves on it.  It is not an easy thing to do.

    Take a hurricane lamp chimney and put over Charlie. He won't even notice, this trick is used to seperate beta fish when mating. Feed summer then let charlie go.

    Yeah, when I was really little my mom was friends with a lady who's whole house was laminated in slipcovers... velvet cream color baroque furniture and white carpets with plastic runners you weren't allowed to step off...  between that and the two crazy vicious Siamese cats it wasn't a fun visit ever.

    ...Siamese Fighting Cats? I've encountered a few of those. 

    Yu knew my grandmother?

    Yeah, I ran into a family that had a room like that.   I spent a summer in the early '60s with my aunt and uncle's family in an upscale Florida neighborhood.  My cousins and I would play with the neighbor's kids and would sometimes go through the neighbor's house.  Beautiful home, front double-door entryway opened onto an open hall & level walkway straight through to the dining room and kitchen as you passed another room or two on the left, but off to the right of the entry was a sunken livingroom down about two or three steps where the white carpet, plastic runner between furniture, and white velvet furniture covered with custom made clear plastic slipcovers sat, gleaming in the boring nothingness of it all.  We kids were absolutely forbidden to enter the livingroom.  In no uncertain terms it was understood by the entire household and friends that that room was only for show or super special guests.  At the age of 11 or 12 I had my first experience of adult lunacy and stupid worshiping of fashion norms when you had enough money to try to pretend to be rich.

    My aunt & uncle were salt of the Earth people, he was a doctor and they had a good income and a nice home but didn't flaunt it or try to impress people.  They had 5 kids, two cars (big deal in the '60s) but they were an old Chevy stationwagon and an old Volkswagon van.  But I remember those neighbors with their white untouchable livingroom, perfectly manicured lawn, cheesy concrete statues on the porch, two big new Cadillacs, boat on the canal and snooty attitude.  Yep, I saw through that stupidity right away.  Not long after that, their business (a local pizza parlor) that at one time had been THE place for pizza for a few years, went out of business as the city grew and competition out competed them.  No pity for the nouveau-riche.

    carrots and celeries?

    Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, red onion and Brussel sprouts. I don't like celery, it overpowers all the other flavours, IMO.

     

    Celery; yuck!  Bland, yet stringy AND bitter all at the same time.  Why would I even...

    The answer is, "no I would not".

    Good celery is not bland, stringy, nor bitter.  

    Unfortunately, there is too little good celery in the world.  Most of it is found in the first 2 layers inside the middle of a stalk and is white, not green, tiny, not big, tender, not tough or stringy, and full of wonderful celery flavor.  It's like asparagus, the younger the growth is, the better it is.

    When my mother prepared celery for meals she would eat the celery heart before it even got to the table.

    Serious produce shops snap up the best celery.  Local country stores like the one near me are left with the tough, bitter, stringy, cracked, dirty stalks.  I've been known to discard 2/3 of a stalk finding it too yucky.

    In the UK the best celery is Winter Celery, which is only grown in one area and is in season between October and december  https://lovecelery.co.uk/love-celery/fenland-celery/
    I managed to get a head on 3 of my winter shopping orders,  the last one in mid December it was out of stock.

    So let's make sure I've got this right:  Celery has 2/3 bad genetics and 1/3 good genetics.  Did I get that right?  cheeky

    angry The name deviant Art is all too often tragically unironic. Recently I tried to report a drawing I stumbled upon, which showed a young boy being sexually molested by several pairs of disembodied hands. The mods told me they couldn't remove it as a child molestation depiction unless I could document the character's age. Yes, it was a drawing, but it was bad enough that my then-friends were upset that I had accidentally shown a preview of it without warning. (The chat room was a bit arbitrary on whether it posted a preview or just the link, even with the same kind of formatting. Links from dA usually just posted as links.) 

    This is risky waters, so I'mma leave it alone now.

    Um, no.  Like me, when I was young I wasn't green, I was smaller, tender, and smooth, and I'm told, tasty.  but as I got older I've turned green(ish) too many times, I've gotten way bigger, tough, rough, and bitter.  It has yet to be determined if I am stringy.cheeky  And there's nothing wrong with my genetics that a good reboot couldn't fix.
