    Complaint... Less than 9 hours of daylight tomorrow and with DST ending this weekend, not much light outside working hours during the next 4 months... sad

    That's the price for living so far up in the north. I suggest moving to south Europe or at least spending the winters there!

    Unless you enjoy the constant darkness, rain, mist/fog and eventually freezing your butt off...

    Santa and me haven't been in good terms for years now. I think we sort of got off the wrong foot when I pulled his beard as a kid... (though it turned out it wasn't Santa at all but a relative of mine).

    Did a google search and @LeatherGryphon look what I found!!!

    https://www.ups.com/us/en/business-solutions/pickup-dropoff-options/ups-on-call-pickup.page

    did I do good?!!

    Well, lo and behold!  Why yes, yes USB UPS does pickup at home.surpriseyes  And my cost of the $7 fee is enticing compared to the cost of a $55 Uber round-trip ride to the UPS store.  But again, $7 on top of the $8 for the tube of silicon caulk, plus the shipping fees that Amazon has to pay for the original shipment, then the return of the empty bag, then the reshipment of the tube of caulk, it all seems so wasteful.frown  All because some dodo didn't know how to seal a bag.no 

    Much easier to just eat the Amazon cost and buy a tube of caulk locally.  EXCEPT for the fact that the nearest place to buy simple hardware supplies is the CVS drug store ​still a $40 round-trip Uber ride away.  Although I can take the 8:00 AM once-a-day bus into town in the early morning, waste 6 hours sitting & eating (because I can't walk more than about two blocks at a time), then take the 3:00 PM once-a-day, mid afternoon bus back for a total of $4 plus the cost of coffee & donuts, lunch, snacks, and impulse buying.  The total amounting probably to about $40.  All things I really don't need to buy.  Being an old geezer I remember back in the old days when an inexpensive and satisfying day was not getting eaten by the bear wanting my cave.

    Perhaps I should just find a nail to fasten my newel post cap.enlightenedindecision

    Edited to correct USB/UPS wonk.blush

    If it's an internal hard drive connecting to motherboard SATA port, and if you have an M.2 hard drive also on the motherboard, check the asterisks and fine-print footnotes of the manual for the motherboard, to make sure that use of the M.2 port hasn't disabled or precluded the use of one of the SATA ports.  On some boards, it's an either/or situation for one or two of the internal ports.   indecision

    i have a feeling this happened or the SATA port went bad.  I ordered a USB enclosure for the SATA hard drive.  The hard drive does work on my mom's computer.

    This isn't true about me, but I find it funny.

    All directions on Earth are relative.  If I stand here and point downard toward the ground, and you follow the line, it will come out the other side of the Earth and will be pointing upward!  cheeky

    And to further confound that, the solar system rotates at around 60° to the galactic plane, so who knows where that line would end up.... really, I'm not doing the math on that.

    It would probably point in a lot of directions, considering the Earth is rotating, and the galaxy is rotating!  An array of quantum supercomputers would be needed to calculate all the potential paths!

    So we've gone down the rabbit hole over black holes?

    How do you get someone to listen to you, when you know that they're not going to listen to you...

    Oh, great! Got a random restart while downloading Daz stuff... Thanks to a system update!

    I better run an update check on my laptop. If there is one (and there is), it's going to take years before it restarts... *Sighs* Oh welp, here we go...

    A bullhorn will ensure that they hear you, regardless of whether they actually listen.

    gonna look for some nail polish textures for Genesis.  Or I can apply shaders to the finger and toenail domain.

    you can apply shaders  to the fingernail and toe nails ,which Genesis are you useing? or you can use a paint program and do designs

    high here was 36F today - 30CM of snow west of us in the mountain parks

  • DanaTADanaTA Posts: 13,206

    It was cool here today.  Even when it got to about 63, there was a stiff breeze that made it feel cold.  At least it was sunny.

    I have one I cannot use due to DRM on the filament cartridges 

    I have the genuine cartridges but it won't recognise them and because I am in Australia not the USA their Customer Service wiped their hands of the issue 

    Query:  When you throw money into a black hole in Australia, does it flow down clockwise or counterclockwise?indecision

    it just sucks cheeky 

    Technically speaking black holes don't suck as suction is caused by pressure differential. They bend space-time so objects that get too close to black holes fall inside it instead of being sucked in. You are perfectly safe from a black hole as long as your velocity keeps you outside the trajectory that takes you within the black hole. You can even orbit black hole safely*. This is the same reason why earth doesn't fall into sun - it has high enough speed to miss the sun but low enough that it can't escape its pull entirely (and thus fly out of the solar system)... so really, earth's path around the sun is just a collection of missed attempts to hit the sun. laugh

     

    *though the orbit paths are likely erratic and if the black hole is active you would likely die out of high levels of radiation but, eh...

    ..still wondering about those 4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire
