    Think this is going to be OK with the train following a spline curve and a ray caster gluing it on the tracks - another half day's effort I guess *yawns* or maybe a day dunno is late has tired not this day anyhow...

    Didn't realise how gentle the curves are, took lots of clones to get a simple bend looking like a simple bend :lol:

    thaz mindbending :lol:

    Had to clone 760 segments in a circle to get about 90 degrees of bend to work with, megapoly slowness :lol: *hugz for sparklyshirtpouting*


    if you rig it to wriggle, you could have a tardis time stream :) or a wyrm hole.

    Tunnel has to asplode and fall down later on, no clues about that yet :lol:

    yep... especially when they ask you all those questions and then don't listen to the answers.

    Think of the work it is to do that in real life! Plus they have to dig the tunnel first!

    Looks cool, by the way!

    I think maybe it's time for a new doctor. How can a doctor be effective if they don't believe you're experiencing the symptoms you're experiencing?

    Well, for one thing, the STOP and GO lights being on at the same time could be problematic. :)

    Complaint:
    I wasted much of the last 24 hours on a phishing email from an insurance company I don't use, telling me they had stopped my direct payments, giving me a link, and a "Customer Service" phone # to call. I didn't do either. Gee, you pass 60 and everybody assumes you're senile. >:-(

    What I did do was call my company's Retiree Benefit Services to make sure no unannounced changes had been made to our health insurance plan (Nope).
    Then I called my Health Insurance provider to check on my status (active member, billing due to occur on the correct date, no stoppage).
    Then I called my bank which asked me to forward them the email so they could inform the proper authorities.

    For the fun of it, before I deleted the email I googled the Customer Service number and got hits on 2 pages of websites, none in English. Hmmmm...

    Now I got a lot of pent-up anger, without even a target...

    I hate you, stupid unscrupulous people I don't know!!!!

    ...I've had that response before. Had foot issues severl years ago and they said nothing was wrong but I knew there was as they hurt terribly. Finally went elsewhere to get another opinion and it turned out I had serious Plantar Fascitis.

    ..should also add, "...and are you on the take from a pharmaceutical company?" ;-)

    One of the doctors I knew loved giving me medication without sending me to the pharmacist. You see many go to these medical association conventions which are also attended by the big pharmaceutical corporations which hand out "freebies" to doctors. Unlike say a Sci-Fi con that gives you a few items in your registration packet like a magazine, books, promo material for soon to be released films, etc, the "party favours" are often prescription drugs they want doctors to get their patients hooked o-...er...to use.

    This was my first appointment with this Pain Clinic doctor. Needless to say I wasn't impressed. Sadly the other place that does pain management isn't any better. I went to there for 4 years before my surgery.

    ...I get a lot of similar ones relating to job openings that are "based on my resume". Often when I Google the website name, it doesn't even show up.

    Preying on the less fortunate who are desperate to get on their feet again is the lowest of low.

    For this brand of ID thief, nothing less than tarring and feathering should be the punishment.

    this seems to be endemic amongst 'pain management' personnel! My sister has run into the same a number of times now (incompetence mixed with extreme arrogance).

    Blarg... Heat indexes in the 100s (heard it was 113 in surrounding areas, was 109 in town) combined with dry, dry winds, combine with trees mass spawning pollen makes Fyre very miserable. Sinuses were on fire all day. It'll be middle of next week before we have any hint of rain.

    Morning. Whiteout just after dawn from thick fog, or ground scraping cloud is hard to tell difference from the inside, everything is a little shiny from overnight rain but bland as if the contrast got turned turned right down low :lol:

    Looks like all your rain clouds skedaddled here for some reason, and all our sun went to visit you. Absolutely still air today, wishing some of that allergy free stuff your way :)

    They use colour combinations to message the drivers about different stuff, in RL the lights would be facing the direction train is coming from I guess but why let real get in the way of some shiny visuals :lol: ?
