I am confused.
Tornado in Nashville. news is showing pictures. awful
Complaint: My network is slow. It's having trouble resolving hosts. The DNS system is boogered. I thought maybe it was my local service provider's DNS system so I changed my default DNS address to a hard coded public DNS server somewhere and still name/address resolutions are slow. Some sites (like my classical radio station) are so slow to resolve that the browser gives up and thinks my ad-blocker is to blame (I don't use one).
Perhaps this is an effect of the storms?
...yeah there has been an accelerating war against adblockers over the last couple years or so mostly by sites that have paywalls but a.so offer limited free access (usually a set number of articles to read per month), but even those that don't are now getting into the act. .
The annoying part is 99% of the adverts I see are for products or services I could never afford or would never pay for (like a new car, homeowner's insurance, or overpriced clothing) and some are just plain scams (get rich quick investment schemes, refinancing schemes, or bogus health care products). More often than not when on a blog or forum, I have to open a link to a news story in an incognito window to bypass adblocker walls to read it (of course I am then bombarded by annoying adverts and pop ups, particularly video ones you can't turn off which take more bandwidth to run).
Non-complaint: My network problems are gone. I believe it was my computer!
After a couple hours of intermittant testing without improvement I fired up my other computer to see if it had the same problems, but it worked fine.
So, I rebooted the original computer and my problems went away.
Go figure. 
Gremlins!
After I pressed render, a thought came to me. Iray does not like sky domes for some reason, but I am not able to cancel the render as I would lose the scene if it crashes.
I almost spewed my coffee at the screen when I read this.
Hey, if we can have "silent numbers", why not have "invisible numbers?"
I just paid several thousand in my tax bill. They could have come back and told me, "Oh, but you didn't see the hidden number "1" on the very left of your tax due amount, did you? You actually owe $10,000 more than you paid. I can take that payment right now over the phone if you like. What payment method would you like to use for your balance due today?"
To which I'd say, "In cases of tea, please. Where would you like me to send them, and is it okay if they're slightly wet?"
Batteries are evil. They try to leave you stranded in a desert. Failing that, they try to cook you to death.
Bring a reporter with you next time. I'd do a great job for you. "Excuse me, may I speak to the manager here? My 1.5 million readers would like to know why this form can't be filled out online, zoom function is not available, and why nobody here will kindly provide this wonderful lady with the proper forms in 96 point font, or have seeing-eye form-filler-outers available to sit down and help her fill out the form?"
The next time you show up, they'll roll out a red carpet for you. And make you BLT sandwiches to make up for the valuable time you spent waiting for your shuttle to drive you there. And that's if they didn't call you a week before your birthday and ask you if you'd like to be chauffered to the DMV to update all of your paperwork!
The least they could do is call an Uber for you! And they have the gall to call themselves "customer service". Hah!
Yeah, whatever happened to her? I know she was hoping to find work of some sort. I hope she did; 'cause that's always a good reason to miss out on "stuff".
It would be my dumb luck to be sitting on the toilet when a tornado struck. And then have to be rescued from under all the rubble with my drawers around my knees.
And pictures on the 11 O'clock news and Twitter. With my name spelled correctly for a change. 
I got tired of seeing toe-jam fungus and bad teeth, so I started using ABP on all of my devices. Now when I get the popup asking me to disable my adblocker, I hit the "YesScript" button, which then disables that popup and allows me to browse the content of the site almost normally, or at least without further interruptions. The biggest drawback is that with scripting broken, many comment systems are then broken and I can't read comments.
Which is a real shame. Some of the comments are well and truly borderline genius. Well, except for the ones saying "First!" or the ones advertising second mortgages, "try this one weird trick", or buying timeshare properties. Those are never very bright to begin with, and no ad-blocker can fix that!
Where do I find HDR in the smart content?
Render Settings, mostly.
or FDR
they make people surrender their license in person.
other people like me who have to surrender thrir driver license for a plain id are prolly in the same situation, cant see the road.
they should be rewarding us for being responsible and not try to drive, imagine all the lives we saved
non-complaint irish coffee sssipsss ahhh
...I thought that was "NoScript".
Non-complaint: Music to DAZ by. Dreamy musing. I love the beginning to this.
Although, some parts in the middle are meh.
Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov: "The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giCVxZOKU0g
(Image below is one of the four large paintings from Thomas Cole's "Voyage of Life" series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voyage_of_Life
They really must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Although, clicking on successive enlargements of the images in this wikipedia article is almost as good. This particular painting "Youth" is in the National Gallery of Art (west building) in Washington DC. I think the last time I saw it was in the same room (east stairwell, actually) as Dali's "Sacrament of the Last Supper".
Arghhh... double post.
Non-complaint: Wheee... my UPS batteries have arrived. One installed and charging. Yay! No complaint by the hardware or software.
Complaint: Tomorrow I must get up at the crack of dawn to prepare for early morning bus trip into the city for a day of various stops for prescriptions, bank, lunch, bloodtest, and possibly laundry if I feel ambitious. I think I've got the bus schedule worked out. But the return home will have to be by Uber unless I use up 7 hours in the city. Oh, my aching feet.
I am on my break. No free food for me today, but I can eat the lunch I brought with me.
55F outside. no tornados
deciding if i should rollate up to the main drag for a lunch something in alfredo sauce
Lunch not Launch!!
wind is groaning outside.
pinot grigio goes best with alfredo?
Okay I am peeved expecting a package according to the tracking it was delivered yesterday ,checked the porch checked the mail box nuthing ,so now what ,I live out in the boonies so not much chance of porch pirates and really it should have fit in the mailbox .........ding dong d-mnit
I once had a package saying delivered when not. It was shipped this February and said to have been delivered in November.
Oops! I need to redo an image but I will show the render as soon as I can save it on my computer.
Trying to load the render I did overnight. I just noticed something odd this afternoon. It is made with a 3Delight product which I will try to find asap to show. I had to remove the sky dome and replace it with an HDR.
Just his liver...
If it's his liver and some fava beans, then it's definitely a nice Chianti...
..I prefer a nice Sauvignon Blanc myself.
Raytheon used to make vacuum tubes and missiles. I think they still make missiles. How did they get the vacuum inside the tube when the old saying goes Nature abhors a vacuum? They put all the guts inside the tube, pumped the air out, then melted the tip of the glass envelope to seal the vacuum in and the air out. Vacuum tubes are still a thing among rock&roll guitar players, and people who only play vinyl, which is also still a thing. Some of the best vacuum tubes are made in former soviet countries.
Special tip for dealing with the DMV: What you have to remember is that for people who work at the DMV, thought = pain. Anything you do that makes them have to think about their job causes them pain. They will then revisit this pain on you tenfold. Remember this, and you may survive the trip.Unless you get eaten by goats, or hit in the head by a chicken tossed by a gorilla.
...yeah, not looking forward to spending a good part of my day at the DMV standing in line then to renew my ID card.
Always wanted a pair of tube mono blocks with crossover as I am one of those people who still has a lot of vinyl.
The Russians used vacuum tubes in the MiG Foxbat because they were resistant to EMP caused by a nuclear detonation. Makes sense why they would still produce high quality ones.
Nope; it's called Yesscript2. It's the reverse of Noscript. Yesscript allows all scripting until somebody offends me. Then I hit the "y" button in the browser and annoyances no more. I use Yesscript because I don't want to stop "all" scripting. Scripting is used to code features, some of which are good, like being able to read article comments. Others are bad, and I just dump them on a site-by-site basis.
In Florida they're nice.
But Florida also allows reservations and internet renewals. Maybe your state does too. After all, it is 2020, not 1935.
I am "meh" on tubes for music LISTENING. I am financially and spatially allergic to vinyl. And my CD and DVD collections are in boxes. I stream everything from Pandora, Prime, or my file server via Plex. Compression algorithms are not nearly as bad to me as a room crowded with records, tapes, discs, or paper books. Did you know that cockroaches eat paper and even glue?
But I have a number of tube devices, preamps, a stomp pedal, and so forth for plugging in a guitar or violin.
extortionist is a different thing from a contortionist
i forgot to bring a kcup with me to work, i runnin on no caffeine >.<
ça vas the same as que pasa? what up? word.
daylight savings this weekend. is this when we lose an hour of sleep?
I've got tons of pretty stuff to make pretty pictures with, but instead I'm playing a 15-year-old computer game.
