Also unsure if it's something to really worry over. That's why I said "even more". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that, is a definite PET PEEVE of mine. 100 times this. And you even forgot to mention: How time consuming it is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling sick to my stomach, this is not the kind of PR SL needs. The irresponsible company will look bad. Not Second Life. Would people blame MS Flight Simulator if Coconut Airways would use that software as part of the training program for their pilots or would they blame the airliner? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ... just a small fact ... where in SL can I get the same hydraulic pressure as in RL ? ...

I wouldn't be able to figure out what Solar is alluding to. Took me bit of googling AND clicking various results to arrive at the most possible solution as the one Scylla kindly provided. Maybe I should've read on and hoped for that, but I take it as a TIL (today I learned... ;)) lesson. Acronyms generally not a pet peeve of mine, as you can learn interesting things while trying to figure out what's meant. Unless it's related to my actual work and people make up acronyms, insider acronyms, so to speak, without having a glossary or something. Means often a lot of additional time for puzzling it out or having to ask. And in the worst case, there's an actual non-insider acronym that would also make perfect sense in the given context, so you get it wrong without really having the chance of knowing... <-- a peeve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalificent Corvinus Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 So... How long do we think it will be before some bottom-feeding film studio makes a movie of this, but blames the deaths on the sub being sexually molested by an amorous giant squid, before being bitten in half by an 80 ft Megalodon with a fondness for calamari? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
