    so i find that putting lots of stuff in my cart and then emptying my cart is the best option to avoid spending.

    i shopped... then changed my mind. i probably save about $500 so far... by not spending money...

    A Dime Saved is a Dime Earned they say - does that mean that if I don't buy a Rolls Royce I earn $450.000 ?

    If I could get a Rolls Royce for $450.00 (same price as my last TV) I'd snap it up.devil 

    Possibly a poster from the continent (or Europe) using . as the thousands separator and , as the decimal.

    That's what being on the reverse side of the world does to you.  Dyslexic commas and periods.  devil

    Actually the majority of countries in the world use comma:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator

    I wish everyone would agree on the same standards in everything - would make a lot of things easier.  In most contexts there's always a standard which is the most logical and convenient.  In programming for example, the DateTime libraries are huge and can be extremely complex to work with because of the many local standards.  The generally recommended ISO standard 2019-08-21 23:25:02 is the most logical and extremely simple to program, and yet it isn't used much.  Just look at this forum which uses the worst standard of them all: AM/PM which can be extremely confusing to people who don't understand its weird logic (e.g. 03:15 AM comes after 12:30 AM). 

    I guess it all boils down to "old habits die hard even though they make life harder for everyone". frown

  • Shouldn't the year be 7531 though? we ought to use the oldest (known) calendar as the starting point and go from there. We could maybe start a new Age every 5000 years and say it is 2531 of the 2nd age. We could write it as 02-2531-08-21... Wait a second. That's an anagram of my old cell phone number!!!

    Some electricians are working on the house wires.  I think the wires are old or loose.  I might loose internet access too if they work on the curcuit breaker.

    update: the electricians couldn't fix the problem today.  Hopefully they will return another date to replace the wires in the first floor?  The electricians think rats might have chewed the wires.

    That's what bureau of standards organizations do.  But have you ever encountered one of those "standards" that wasn't somehow "adjusted" by some group or another for some seemingly logical reason or other?  What it actually comes down to is the bottom line for somebody.  About 60 years ago I remember the announcement in school that the US was going to be switching to the Metric system.  Yay!    Yet here we are, pounding, quarting, farenheiting and inching our way into the future.  Still saddled with the burden of having to deal with both systems. frown  Heaven forbid that England would ever make the decision to drive on the right, politicians would compromise it into something fair and balanced like; every other intersection switches sides.surprisedevil

    my attempts to fit male clothing onto female models has failed. i guess it is for the best. i can't find any male models i like and i'm too broke to start collecting assets for them. 

    i'll have to just use my androgynous morph and try to pretend the clothes i have look masculine enough... yup...

    odd question: do male models have hairy legs and arms?

    they do.

    they wax their eyebrows into shape.

    this seems like fairly normal maintenance. i mean, some thread, some pluck... err... wait, or do guys not manage their eyebrows like normal people?

    i've not lived with a guy in quite a while.

    also... i've gone through the store so many times trying to find a dude to buy but the female models, clothes, hair, sets, and other things all distract me.

    also also... i kind of wanted to log onto eso or gw2 this weekend but i've been rendering stuff.

    also also also... i meant to write this weekend as well but i've gotten distracted by being aggitated.

    also also also also... i should have applied for more jobs this weekend but again... aggitated.

    Work the 5 days on finding work, rather than the 2 days.  You'll improve your odds of success by 150% and then you can take the 2 days off with a clear conscience when nobody's gonna answer their mail anyway.

    all ise finding are artists renditions of the rings.

    i don't want to base my artist rendition of rings based on someone else's artist rendition.

    want the chimichanga!

    ever notice that the solar system is mostly empty? the really ought to add more attractions. devil

    Sooo....the solar system is just like my head then.....laugh

    On a percentage basis, the solar system is emptier than your head.  So no matter how bad of a day you're having, you can still rest easy knowing that it can't be worse!

    i could've lived the rest of my life without seeing the last avengers movie.

    Hollywood ruins everything if you let them keep something long enough.  Star Trek: The Motion Picture.  Friends.  X Files.  Harry Potter (the last three).  Batman Begins, Returns, Runs away and hides, then tries to kill Superman.  Avatar:The Last Airbender (the movie).  Ghost Busters.  The Mask 2.  And the MCU.  And don't get me started on the lame James Bond flick with the house in the highlands. 

    It's the way of things.  But there are people making interesting Star Trek short stories in their kitchens with blue-screens.  More of that please!  They may not have grandiose budgets for special effects, but I think they're telling more interesting stories than Hollywood is.  I mean really, Spongebob...in a movie?

    You didn't know that?  It's been about the gypsy Welsh witch since Stevie Nicks first donned a shawl and way before Lindsey Buckingham ever wore a pajama top in a live concert! 

    Pro Tip:  There's a great Fleetwood Mac concert "The Dance" available on Amazon Prime.  The album is very good (and has better audio quality), but the concert video is also out there and was a lot of fun to watch, even though it's old and the video quality isn't really the best.

    yeah,  but with over 30,000 posts she is still going to have trouble finding a particular post.   It is not really a user friendly data base if you have that number of posts. It is in date order and that is the only way you can search. newest posts are at the top,

    I doubt that is the database's fault.  It goes to the programmer(s) who wrote the code for the forum.  It's easy enough to add an index to a column in a database, then querying on that column's data is fast.  Even on large text columns, like the one that holds the body of the posts.  There a thing called Full Text Index.  At least, in a good database.  30K records is not a large database.  30 million records, yes.

    Dana

    Database indexes make READS faster, but they can greatly slow down updates and deletes, particularly when there are a lot of columns in the index or if there are a lot of indexes on a lot of tables that are related to each other.  That's because an update must update the data rows as well as all the related rows/columns in all of the indexes.  A delete will have the effect of deleting not only the rows in the base table, but also any matching rows in each of the indexes.  Both updates and deletes are logged so that a failure can be rolled back.  All of this can take a lot more time.

    In some DBMSs, the indexes are separate from the data.  In others, the indexes reside in the same physical file(s) as the base tables.  There's a think called a "clustering index" that uses the same columns (not a copy of the columns) from the data table that they map.  A clustering index is always in the same order as the data table upon which it is based.
