    dinner is a milano cookie and a cuppa barry tea.  wrapping my hands round the heat of the tea.

    spent the last 7 hours trying to learn my way around the pbr channels.  height, roughness, metallic, albedo, ao, 

    working on my thrones collection.  the ice princess throne, dark fantasy throne. counting the electric chair as a throne. looks like they pulled it, no link to the store. 

    my eyelids are crashing.  wanted to convert zombie and the power pixie tnite. i'm demoralized by failure with the steel plate shader.

    It's an evening meal at one of these places. 

    And a person having an evening meal at one of those places would be a diner having dinner at a diner.

    Is that a real place?

    I wonder if someone slipped shrooms into my coffee. Because I can swear it looks like it's snowing outside. Surely that can't be real life.

    Complaint:  Dashed hopes.sad  I've been religiously checking various catalog outlets, looking for an RTX 3060 graphics card at reasonable prices.  I can find them for $1200+ (US) but that ain't reasonable.cheeky  Reasonable would be MSRP or a little over.  Let's say $400-$500. (ouch, but still do-able)  I can find them listed in every major catalog or manufacturer (NewEgg, BestBuy, Amazon, ZOTAC, etc.) but they're always "Sold Out" and you can't even put them on your wish list because all the buttons on the catalog page have been disabled or removed.frown

    Then, yesterday I found one at NewEgg (I think) for around $650.  Wheee... I might be able to eat potato soup long enough to justify that much for a graphics card, so I start the purchase process but when I got to the checkout process it wanted me to type in my shipping information and it gave me time to think.   I got a little nervous because NewEgg knows my shipping preferences.  So, I decided to Google the source of the product.  Sure enough right at the top of the Google responses was "It's a Scam".indecision  But still unwilling to believe it, I looked closer at the catalog page and found the words "image may not represent the actual product"surprise  Then I remembered seeing a YouTube article pointing out those exact words, where somebody would take your money and send you a mockup or even just a photo of an RTX 30xx graphics card and laugh all the way to the bank.angry  So, I cancelled the purchase process and watched my hopes dash on the rocks of reality.crying

    So, beware.  Look that gift horse in the mouth.enlightened

    I hesitate to give the name of the product's malicious "vendor" for fear of violating these forum's TOS.  But if OK, I will add it in here.  My point is, do your homework, know who you're buying from.  And if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't true.indecision

    ...been having a taste fo summer the last few days. Was beautiful yesterday (upper 70s) so much so had to wear a Hawai'ian shirt.  Today and tomorrow even warmer with highs in the 80s  Will also be nice most for most of the next week until the weekend when it's back to normal wet and cooler weather.  Only downsides, it's been a bit breezy (not conducive to wearing hats) or reading a book at a café and we are under a red flag fire alert...with two months to go before summer.

    Why yes, yes it is.smiley  There are many of those type establishments around here that are (or were... most of them are gone now) called a "Dinor".  I've noticed several in my long life, but never away from this area (Erie, PA, NE Ohio, Extreme west NY State)   Sometime in the past somebody spelled it that way and other people copied it.  To me a "dinor" is "somebody who dines".  Like an artist could be called a "creator".enlightened

    The last "dinor" that I used regularlly was one that my father used to take me to 60+ years ago and for many decades since then.  Eventually it got turned into an actual firmly rooted restaurant and added onto for many years.  But recently the owner burned it down.surprise  Very badly apparently, because he got caught.​indecision  He probably didn't think it through carefully, because he was across the street from the fire department and police station.laugh

    The reason the RTX's are getting scarce is because people are snapping them up to mine cryptocurrency. (According to my nephew who knows about these things because he does it.)

    I wish I understood Japanese. I spend so much time watching trashy Japanese reality shows and it'd be nice to be able to multitask and play video games at the same time. But with subtitles, you really have to keep your eyes on the screen.

    This show is awful, but I'm enjoying it. The producers rounded up a bunch of people with horrible secrets and put them on a dating show. Every so often, a secret is revealed and we get to see how the other contestants react. The whole thing seems low rent, with mediocre settings and a comedian host that isn't funny at all. I don't think language is the issue with him not being funny, since the commentators of Terrace House are hilarious to me. But I am so caught up in learning those secrets now! So far, one girl is prone to being taken advantage of by pro-athletes, one guy is in debt for plastic surgery and one guy is a porn star. They even showed some screen grabs of his work! The porn star says it ruins his chances with women, but he immediately went on a date after the reveal and this girl seems more interested than ever. I guess it's different dating delinquents. What's a deal-breaker for a nice girl might be quite the bonus for a not-so-nice one.

    My dad just called as I was writing this. It's his birthday today and he asked to see some new renders. Only I don't have any to show him, because I've been working on an R-rated graphic novel and I'm not showing him that. Besides the fact that it's his Bday, he gave me my new motherboard and CPU just a few months ago. So I really owe him. I guess it's time to get Caryn out. Maybe I can get something finished before he goes to bed...

    More story about the ill-fated dinor.  The original dining car atmosphere and facilities (stainless steel cabinets, shelves, & tiny spaces) remained on the inside even after the place was expanded into a restaurant.  However, the outside of the original dinning car was covered with a wooden facade.  The kitchen and dining car bar & bar stools and small seating booths remained in the original "dinor" but the restaurant addition had a proper big parking lot and entrance behind the building that opened into the big spacious restaurant area.  It was not a proper "big city" restaurant but was more of a lunch and inexpensive dinner place for working class people.  I miss that place.  It was a nice place to go on a summer afternoon or warm cozy place to go for lunch in the winter when you passed the area.

    I've had a break from Daz. But now I've gone back to work on my main character, I swear she's starting to look like Victoria Beckham/Posh Spice. Which for me, isn't a problem. She's still my favourite Spice Girl. I just don't want to end up being sued by her because of the likeness. ^^'

    An asthma nurse put me on steroid tablets. My head feels so messed up. I hope I'm not going to have a night like last night. Happy one minute, then bawling my eyes out the next... And that's on four tablets in one day. She must be kind of insane if she thinks I'm going to take eight. My Mum seems to think the nurse is trying to make up for the fact that I have severe asthma, and I've had no help since the pandemic began.

    Urgh! Here comes another headache... sad

    Non-complaint: I went to buy a few things and discovered about $15 more store credit than I had expected. I'd totally forgotten about that return. This brought the charge on my CC to just $0.68 Woot! 

    Complaint: You have to be careful with Humble Bundle. They let you modify how much of your payment goes to charity, but if you're not careful the charity will only get like 10%. I crank that bad boy up to 30% or higher.
