    A few years ago I opened a bank account for a nonprofit I was involved with. Asked if there were any charges that needed to be paid and the bank guy looked me in the eye and said no charge at all. Opened the account on the spot and the guy goes thanks and hits the account straightaway with a $50 charge. I go WTF you said there was no charge. The bank guy looks me straight in the eye again and tells me it isn't a charge, it's a fee.

    ...gotta love semantics.

    ...and I agree whole 100% with TJ's response. Of course my hand would constantly be sore but the satisfaction would be worth it.

    ...yeah, but when you are living on the edge like I am, 20$ is a lot of money to pay for someone answering a query and pressing a few keys. The process must most likely take only a couple minutes per transaction.

    Shoot, if I could have collected 20$ for each order I processed at my old job (about 350 - 400 per day) I'd have money coming out the wazoo!

    What a bleedin' racket.

    Is why I always ask about fees. And charges now. And taxes. But as soon as you get a handle on which part of your wallet is showing they come up with something else :lol:

    Might as well just get straight to the point and ask what the bribe is ;-). Good suggestion btw - fees, charges, taxes, gratuities, deductions, expenses, tithes, donations, gifts, considerations, expediators, offerings, sacrifices, ... -_-;

    Is why I was so emo about the $50 fee, the guy looked me fair in the eye. And he knew the account was for a local food centre. No shame :lol:

    Spent half of today making fire. It occurred to me that fire is ancient tech, so how come it takes a super compy so long to simulate? Anyhooo

    Thanks, I would have used Blender because is kinda a one-stop shop with the built in compositing and great coding by
    https://www.miikahweb.com/en/blog/2012/08/10/blender-fire-testing---blend-files
    but I'm using this
    http://www.jawset.com/
    cos it has an up-rez function that makes it almost WYSIWYG to work with. Almost. But I'm not at all familiar with the settings yet and there are envelopes for almost everything that take some experimenting. (But highly recommend Blender for pretty fast physics sims in general, and the smoke sim in particular, way to get your rocket exhaust pumping :lol:

    Yeah, they just love throwing semantics at you in the hopes you'll just give up and walk away. ~sheesh~

    ...yes, but TurbulenceFD is what film studios use, and it is a plugin for applications that have a UI which is easier to work with (in my book) than Blender's

    ...that's still much less than the unrestricted cores version of the 3Delight Standalone.

    What I hear about Blender is that either you hate it or love it.
