Regarding culling the herd:
(salient point at 1:20, but watch from the beginning) Such an informative and spot-on show.
Also the Galleries are still "coming soon!". I'm concerned what might happen to the few pics I have/had in mine :(
Not that I'm doing much art anymore aaah...
....do you have an old ice chest (not stryofoam)? That would likely keep the odor contained
...+1
...why does thsi remind me of what I was hearing around 8 months ago?
That episode first aired 34 years ago in January 1986. Some concepts are persistent.
Well, it didn't level it, but it did smooth out a section of it for a while. Drowned in mollases, sounds like the plot of a "Midsommer Murders" episode. Setting aside the fatalities, the shame of the great Boston molasses event is that there wasn't a warehouse of peanuts caught in the mess. World's biggest bar of peanut brittle.

Apparently scammers have a well-developed sense of comic irony.
That's like the message I see pop up in YoutTube videos: Click her to start blocking ads. I think, "You mean like this one?"
And then I just click the "X" to clear it.

egg shortages plainnt got no eggs. so little possibilities when no eggs. cake flour, corn flour, all useless without eggs. no one is coming to take me food shopping. seems more bad weather is coming and the stores are out of stuff. did they have eggs during the great depression?
...yeah YouTube seems to have the upper hand with their anti-AdBlock software as even with one of the best blockers, I still get adverts interrupting videos with no warning. If they put them at the beginning I could just mute the sound until they are finished and attendto something else mometarily, but instead they pop up at seemingly random times in the middle of videos as short as 3 minutes and multiple times in longer ones.
So many sites today are employing anti blocker software. .The frustrating part is none of the adverts are for products or /services I'd care to, or could afford to purchase.
What particularly T's me off is when I find a good classical music piece I want to hear, I get my drink & snack ready, I kick off my slippers, I snuggle under my granny blanket and recline in my easy chair, put on my headphones, start listening to the music and watching the orchestra and get just to the exciting part, and a commercial pops in. Arghhhh... not in the middle of Beethoven! No, no no. Sacrilege. Barbarians. Spawn of the devil.
Good music is an Art-in-Time. You don't interrupt the flow with commercials.
Similarly painting is an Art-in-Space. It would be like going to see the Mona Lisa and encountering a sticker for PEPSI plastered on her face for a few minutes.
...ick and poo, frozen water from the sky forecast here for next Friday and Saturday with lows in the 20s. Four to five inches expected, which for here is a major snowfall. Looks like it's time to stock up again. I'll say this, after several rather dry and mild winters, the weather this year has been making it easy to comply with "stay at home" measures. Just need one dry day now & then to replenish the larder.
Non-complaint: Wheee..., my 2-port KVM switch has arrived enabling me to be able to easily share my new 27" 2K monitor between my two most used machines. It also switches, speaker and microphone connections, and also switches a USB2 port (for printer, or thumbdrive, or whatever) to the active computer.
It took a bit of cable wrangling and stretching but It's installed and works! Yay! It makes a significantly better workflow situation and gets rid of a keyboard and mouse in my workarea. The 1-star reviews on the Amazon catalog sounded scary but I've had no trouble with it. It worked first time (after I discovered one of my own stereo audio cables was flaky).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HR9DQGM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ; I am extremely pleased with the quality of the hardware itself. The box is heavy gauge metal, the switches seem solid, the ports seem to be quality even the remote control switch is metal and has lights. A lot of the reviews on Amazon mentioned the quality of the hardware being top notch, but bitched about the software. Aut apparently some people have trouble trying to use keyboard shortcuts & key combinations. The instruction brochure could also be translated better. But if you read the instructions carefully and figure out what they are trying to say, it probably works the way it was designed. I just haven't bothered with the keyboard controls, and simply use the remote control button provided. Very happy with it. So far.
Also arrived is a new 120mm case fan with blue LED ring around the blades. It will replace a dull unlighted exhaust fan in a dark area at the back of the case and add joy to that part of the case interior. It doesn't need an RGP or ARGP port, it just lights up blue all the time. I haven't got it installed yet, but perhaps tomorrow. I've been working too long. Sitting and getting up and down, and bending and crawling under tables. My body is done for the day. Time to make supper, pour a shot of Amaretto, grab a handful of pistachios, and veg out on TV.

It does? What AdBlocker and browser are you using? :O
Adblock Ultimate as well as a popup blocker. it works on other sites (i often get a message to turn it off so I just close the tab when that happens) just not YouTube.
When there's a video I'm sure I'm interested in, I download it with 4KVideoDownloader...no ads come through, just the video. If I'm not sure, I'll open it i a new tab, and watch for a minute or two...if I decide that it's of interest, then I'll download it.

complaint Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 6 to 9 inches.
i didnt have a chance to replenish my food. is just grits. i like grits. but not meal after meal of grits. who is hoarding the eggs? or are the hens just in a bad mood
humpty dumpty is an egg?
sky dropping frozen flakes.
Firefox + uBlock Origin here; YT hasn't given me any Ad problems so far.
Good idea!
I actually already have that application but rarely think of using it.
Non-complaint: Wheee... I'm still trying to best organize my work area and make most utility of keyboards & mice. To that end I was getting frustrated with keyboard wires and mouse tails. I was thinking about buying a new wireless keyboard & mouse combo but I suddenly had a memory flashback and dug deep into my long packed away boxes of computer parts and found a really nice wireless keyboard (Logitech K320/B550) still new, https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-002362-Wireless-Keyboard-K320/dp/B0036ECGS6 I'd bought it for a customer but he wimped out and I never sold it. It's a Logitech K320/B550. It doesn't light up but it has a wonderful key touch, travel & sound. It's accurate and without bounces or too sensitive keys. So I packed away that fancy RGB wired & lighted keyboard with overly sensitive keys that I'd bought a while ago. Might find a use for it someday. I also found a used wireless mouse. So now my primary new display can display both of my new computers and use a really nice wireless keyboard & mouse.
It's kind'a nice having boxes of computer parts laying around the house. Somedays it's Christmas again.
If only I could reliably remember what's in the boxes.
I think today my goal is to install that new blue lighted fan and a 2nd hard drive into my windowed computer. I'd thought about ordering fancy white power cables for the power supply just for the esthetics of it, but decided to save that for another tune-up session. Perhaps when I finally get a proper graphics card for that computer.
Complaint: I'm up early today (5:30AM). Couldn't sleep, neck hurts. Really cold out last night (13F, -10.5C) but for once the furnace ran long enough to get my apartment warm too. Too warm in fact. I had to throw off blankets in the middle of the night and when I came down this morning I partially shut the floor register opening. (I have no control over the furnace. The only thermostat is in the other apartment.)
Non-complaint continued: Yay! New fan installed, ooh, pretty blue. And yay, another terabyte of HD storage added.
Complaint: Power supply cabling and computer case design. The electronics of modern power supplies is wonderful, but the mechanics of getting that power to the various devices in the computer case is medieval. A degree in protein folding is necessary to get the too long or too short cables with wrongly spaced connectors, to twist sufficiently to fit the illogically placed devices that need the power and placed in locations impossible to route the wires to, only to discover that the connector either needs to bend or shouldn't bend and still might not fit when you try to put the side of the case back on.
After a couple of scraped knuckles & blood, and vociferous swearing, the deed is done but I don't want to visit there again for a while I ended up having to install a Molex cable despite not having any ancient devices that require a Molex power connector, yet I had to use a Molex cable and fit it with a Molex-to-SATA converter just so I could get power to my new hard drive despite there being five SATA power connectors available but unuseable on the three SATA power cables already in the system. Absolutely medieval! 
This whole process of getting power to the devices needs to be rethought.
And for god's sake, case designers, please give us another quarter inch of space behind the motherboard partition for running cables.
Spent time manually re-creating some of the morphs on Dregon when moving him into Cinema. Obviously some weighting issues to be fixed, and I don't know why DAZ Studio's exporter/Bridge insists on forcing all joints into the same alignment though, which is VERY very veeery not-good when it comes to things like creature legs and arms or wings. Re-aligning every joint by hand sigh. I guess it's better than rigging it all from scratch though, but I wish it wouldn't do that. The Bridge now supports R23 natively but it also borked the Morph export :/
Would have had to do this one by hand either way though, since I only wanted it to affect the chest, not his whole body.
On an unrelated note I picked up Redshift when I re-subbed to Cinema. It's... Certainly different! Going to need to spend a while learning it it seems. Brings back memories to when I first used Indigo Render and how everything was so different to how I was used to things working~
Complaint: Haven't found anyone else with this problem, so maybe someone here does. I've been wearing glasses (and for a few years contacts) for nearsightedness since I was 2 years old and never had a problem. When I hit my 50s, like many other people, I got some farsightedness, so I got bifocals, but the near vision part didn't work -- it's supposed to focus at a distance of around 18 inches, but I couldn't read clearly beyond 6 inches. They cut the lenses again, but had the same problem. so I just had them make the lenses for my nearsightedness and slide my glasses down my nose for closeup work.
Last fall, when I was due for new glasses, I had 3 pairs with the same nearsightedness prescription, as that hadn't changed for several years, so I decided to try just reading glasses. These gave me a maximum of 10 or 11 inches, still too close to be usable. The optometrist had me hold a card at a comfortable reading distance and adjusted the prescription for that. They recut the lenses for the new prescription and it was almost exactly the same, too close to be of any use.
Has anyone else heard of this issue?
Probably not what the problem is but perhaps they could contribute somewhat...
Dry eyes can mess with your eyesight, especially if you tend to do things that require you staring at stuff like a computer screen or erotic photos for long periods of times... If you are really concentrating, you tend to blink less and your eyeballs get dry leading to a blurry vision... but usually this is an "on and off" kinda thing, you might notice it while driving or sorting erotic photos, but later it might go away when you are less focused and start blinking more. If you get a lot of weird gunk in your eyes that might be a sign of it.
Or possibly, it could be that your glasses are not sitting on the bridge of your nose where they are supposed to... a lot of opticians don't fit glasses properly and it leads glasses sliding too far forward, and depending on the prescription, even a quarter of an inch could make a big difference.
Most likely neither of those are your problem but I figured I'd put that out there just in case... also... an even more unlikely possibility I could be that when you sleep you don't close your eyes fully enough and spiders are attracted to the moisture of your eyeballs and come there to drink and cavort, leaving behind web droppings which adhere to your eyes... usually a few hours after you wake up they fall off (the schmutz, not the eyeballs) and your eyesight seems better... a good way to prevent this is to tape shot glasses open end down to your eyes... this allows your eyes some room to pop in and out while you sleep while preventing spiders from cavorting on them... unless of course you trap a spider in there, in which case it'll probably lay eggs in your eye to get even with you.
I hope this helps.
