    does manually posing g figures with rotation wires trigger jcms or slaved morphs?

    I'm not sure what you mean, but the JCMs are (almost always) linked to the actual bends so yes they get set however the joint was posed.

    not sure i'm using the term algorithm in my scifi scribbles correctly.  just means math equation?

    My manager won't let me install a printer and monitor.  not sure if cuz i'm 55 and legally blind.  I haz the skills.

    An algorithm doesn't even need to be mathematical at all.   An algorithm is a step by step method of solving a problem.     I do my main grocery shop at a company that has no shops, instead has enormous climate controlled warehouses staffed by robots and they are programmed, amongst other stuff, with algorithims the tell them what to substitute for out of stock items.

    This is an interesting description  

    An algorithm is a fancy to-do list for a computer. Algorithms take in zero or more inputs and give back one or more outputs. A recipe is a good example of an algorithm because it tells you what you need to do step by step.

    All the physical universe is mathematic, from the smallest quark to the largest celestial body.  So in a way, all algorithms are mathematic too.  In a way.  wink

    Is it okay if I use a laptop when it is thundering outside if it is not plugged into the wall?

    As long as you are not outside where the thunder is, yes, yes it is.

    i really need to hurry up and win the lottery...

    Don't jump the line.  Wait your turn! angry devil

    but i'm pooooorrrr... and i need assets... and i need a faster computer... and i need a nice house... for me... not just my models. WAAAAAHHHHHH

    ...I need to pay down some past due bills. The faster computer can wait.

    Stay out of debt!

    ...not easy when living on a meagre fixed income and then someone hoovers an sizeable chunk out of it  making it much more difficult to get by each month (although as I mentioned the deductions were suspended while they review my case, but I still owe past utility bills that mounted up during all the months I was short funded, hopefully they will rule in my favour, and then I'll get back everything they deducted which I'll finally be able to pay those past due balances off with).  

    I didn't say it was easy.  I know for a fact that it is not easy.  But "easy" is not in the scope of my advice.  I said stay out of debt.  If the conversation was about staying in high school, I would say "stay in school".  No matter if it's easy or not.

     

    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.

    I think you misinterpretted my strategy (or I wasn't clear). I wasn't saying I didn't apply during the week or even over the weekend. Just that I should have applied to more.

    What is amazing is that based on my current success rate I would have exactly the same results if I had applied to NONE.

    Ahem, "none YET" is how you should approach this.

    If what you're eating now is making the pipes straight, then I suggest you may need to find a better source of dark chocolate.

    Yeah remember driving a big 1970 Buick LeSabre in Driver Ed.  Had no trouble parallel parking that battleship.  I have to laugh today when someone with a Toyota or Subaru gives up on parallel parking in a space I could easily put the big ol' Buick into.

    ...ugh, woke up to some Speed Racer wannabe at the hotel a block away revving the engine of his far too expensive exotic sports car this morning disturbing the otherwise relative and uncharacteristic calm.  I kept expecting to hear him blow the engine as he just kept on doing it over, and over, and over.... 

    Surprised he didn't run out of petrol considering the lousy mileage those cars get.

    Complaint I am broke so I cannot afford that male content.

    I know this feeling. I don't often have a use for the fellas but for the time being I have to make do with an androgynous slider. Some of the gals make pretty cute guys.

    Stealthy Complaint: Trying to use dForce skirt while sitting. The skirt stretches too much while at the same time getting everything stuck ontop of the legs. Very annoying. I finally got closer to the look I've been working on all week. Now I just have to solve this issue of the skirt getting stuck.

    Be careful doing that.  Some people have actually ruptured a disk doing this.  Or a vein.  Ballroom dancing is far safer.  And hotter!

    Not to mention shaken idiot syndrome!  laugh

    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.

    DanaTA said:

    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.

    Well, I didn't say put an index on every column!  With just 30K records, a good database will not take that much time to update/delete a record or 100.  Not talking about Access (a dog - no insult to actual dogs).  Even with stealing the Rushmore database technology from VFP, it was still a dog.  But MS SQL Server, Oracle...good databases.  Clustered index is good for certain uses...such as an Identity column.  Such a column is good for relations and joins in stored procedures and such, not for the end user to do a search on.  the end user should never be exposed to the key,  (or should I say the key should necer be exposed to the end user?) but many programmers do just that, sadly.

    ...it's even worse when someone parks a Smart Car with 6 feet in of space front and 6 feet of space behind (and then they are between 12" - 14" away from the curb at a slight angle).  I've actually seen that. 

    When I watch how some people try to parallel park I don't know they ever got their licences. It's a very simple routine, but I guess it's become a lost art like the technique of medieval stained glass.  They never line up correctly, often cut too tight of a turn when backing in, and I've even seen some actually try to do it entering the space by driving in front first.

    All I can say is I from what I see on the streets every day, I hope they never, ever perfect the flying car, or I'm going to have to move to some secluded island in the South Pacific.

    Had a friend who drove a big old 4 door early 70s Dodge Polara when I lived in New Orleans. it was amazing to ride with him, bombing down those extremely narrow side streets in that behemoth. Never once sideswiped a parked car and he could park it like a pro in some of the tightest spots as well.

    ...now that's a ride.

    Yeah, dark chocolate is my one and only now.  Milk chocolate is too sweet and slimy.  I believe confirmed chocolate eaters gravitate toward higher quality and toward dark chocolates as we get older.  Gone are the days when a penny Tootsie Roll was a treat (*blech*)  My favorite non-specialty chocolate?  Dove solid dark chocolate Easter bunny.  I munch the ears first!

    I don't know about the movie thing, but here's an article about the Marlin Beach Hotel http://www.somanymen.com/MarlinBeachHotel/  And some pictures https://www.google.com/search?q=marlin+beach+hotel+fort+lauderdale&tbm=isch&source=hp&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjp86uwupvkAhWkzlkKHUloCUkQsAR6BAgJEAE&biw=1920&bih=877#spf=1566648089465

    As for the big car dilemma...  In the '90s, when I lived in Reston, VA (20mi NW of Wash.,DC) I lived in a condominium complex that had been built in the late '60s  By the '90s, cars were getting smaller again and they fit quite comfortably in the parking spots, but for a year or so in '93 we had a 1966 Lincoln Continental (about as big as cars got) and when we parked it, it stuck out like a sore thumb. (picture queen bee among regular bees) I tried to imagine the whole parking lot full of those sized cars.  Oy! surprise
