  1. An emotional rollercoaster day:  two losses; two gains.  Cheers to a calmer day tomorrow for everyone.

      I hear you. It’s been surreal here today.

  2. Top temperature today was 42.3c (108.1f), but the top ‘feels like’ temperature was 50.3c (122.5f).  Woo!

    I’m ready for autumn now, thank you.

      My physics professor used to say, when something wasn’t working, that we should hit it. Fifty percent of the time, that would fix whatever was broken, and the other fifty percent of the time? Well, it was broken anyway and giving it a good thumping would make you feel better. :lol:

      And I’m so ready for spring. It’s -1°C (29°F) here and feels like -12°C (10°F). It was bloody 14°C (57°F) yesterday. I hate it when the weather has ADHD.

  4. How thoughtful that spammers are self-reporting themselves in the “Trolls/Flamers/Spammers” section of the forums… sigh.  Can we hang/draw/quarter them?

      I’m a second generation native of NYC, born and raised in Manhattan, and now living in The Bronx. True story here: The OB who delivered my mother also delivered me at the same hospital, and was Chairman Emeritus of the department when I delivered Elderspawn at the same hospital. The secret to NYC? Forget boroughs, and think of us as a rather large collection of small towns all stuck together in a relatively small space. If you wandered into my current neighborhood, you would NOT believe you were in The Bronx, but my zip code begs to differ. :lol:

      NYC’s cold but not quite polar vortex cold. We’re getting a light snow mixed with freezing rain, because the gods will not be happy until I wind up sliding across the street, and I keep waiting for the daft one to call and tell me he’s working late, so I can see if my Jeep wants to ski downhill to the train station.

      But aside from that, let’s just say that winter sucks. ❄️🪦

  9. I want to wish a happiest of birthdays, to our magnificent @BronxWench 

    May the day be wonderful and full of delight. And here’s to another full circle around the sun. :bday:  :cheers:

    All gifts in the form of shimmering gold and very sparsely clothed pretties that we may have in our possession, especially of the impish and the elvish variety, will be happily accepted. Gold will be kept, but pretties will be returned, unscathed and very exhausted. :thankyou:

  12. “Len, don’t become a drunk.  Otherwise, stick to ale.  After all, ale will never lock you out of your own house and bust up all of your belongings in the front garden just ‘cause you’ve had another pint!”  Would you expect to read this in a “T” rated fanfiction?

  13. There’s a lot of bad news out there these days. So I’ve decided that every day for the next week, I’ll post one piece of good news.

    To decrease summer heat and improve air quality, New York City’s city council has decided to up NYC’s tree canopy coverage from 22% to 30%. A lidar-based mapping system will be used to identify places where the new trees would do the most good.

      We are already a remarkably green city, but I’m always eager to see less green areas of the city getting new trees. It makes such a tremendous difference!

  14. Happy Turkey Day everybody (though I’m opting for pork loin this year).  🦃

      Happy Thanksgiving to all that are celebrating today! (I’m having a delayed celebration on Sunday so my family can be here, but it’ll be the traditional massive turkey and all the trimmings!)  🍗🥧🍷🍂

    Yeah… so, the parental units and baby sis with her fam are all living in the town next to these, and the threat of an eruption is growing larger, so I’d greatly appreciate all and any vibes of the good and safety kind to be sent their way if you can spare them, and if you have any gods or goddesses that you are on friendly terms with I’d also appreciate any pokes you’d be willing to give them on my family’’s behalf. This shit is getting scary now that the threat of an eruption is so close to town. Thank you, all.

      Holy shit, baby! And here they were so optimistic that the lava flow would not travel towards Grindavik…

      I’m glad everyone is safely settled for the night! :hug:

  17. well my laptop sucks atm. i visit certain sites and the internet goes in and out. cant do much! no one else has this issue with the internet but me!  i dont want to factory reset it cuz then i lose the story that took me a while to create! ugh! suggestions?

      @Wilde_Guess I’m obviously showing my age here as well, but all my home desktops (4 of them plus two floating connections) are hardwired, as is my daft one’s desktop at our summer cottage. My laptop connects via wifi here or at the cottage, and is new enough not to have issues like my old one did.

      @Desiderius Price The daft one likes his own router rather than the preconfigured ones the cable company supplies, and given his background in electronics, he’s remarkably adept at making all the cat 5e cables and connections we could possibly need. :lol:

      The issue then might be with that specific site. What error message do you get when trying to connect?

      Some websites simply can’t handle a lot of traffic, which could be the issue.

      You can buy wifi extenders relatively cheaply, and those will extend the range of the equipment in the basement to the upper floors.

      If you don’t have any USB sticks available, save the story in Google Docs, which will allow you to retrieve it through your browser. But @Desiderius Price is absolutely right in urging you to back stuff up to an external device like  USB drive. Even desktops can have  failures, so backups are just smart.

      The other thing to think about is how old your laptop is. I had an older laptop that worked fine, except for connecting to the internet which it just would not do. The solution for that laptop was to get a USB wireless adapter that let me access the internet, and it worked perfectly.

  20. So uh, manager got axed but she decided to deadman’s switch and nuke alot of other...enjoyers of group extracurricular activities by sending evidence to HQ directly….

    And I knew none of this and walked straight into the aftermath of the hidenburg.

    There’s burning bridges… And then there’s nuking the thing.

    So the fallout has yet to be determined but on the other hand kinda have to respect going out on your own terms via nuclear fission.

      Well, if we’re ‘fessing up to silliness here, I do have a set of empty Star Fleet Reserve wine bottles, as well as one from Chateau Picard, and an empty flask of bloodwine. :lol:

      (The wine was overpriced but the bottles are worth it!)
