As you know, I'm never wrong, so I don't mind educating you on this. Tea cakes are called barm cakes in South Yorkshire, but not here in West Yorkshire. So you're wrong about them being called 'tea cakes' by northerners. Some northerners, yes, but that's not what you said. I hope that helps But I'll pass on what you say to Yorkshire Teacakes - a company that bakes them. I'm sure they'll be delighted that you put them straight lol. "Baps" here means something quite different lol. Edited September 6, 2023 by Phil Deakins 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barm cakes possibly in Barnsley, but in other parts of South Yorkshire they're or even breadcakes. Just googling Yorkshire teacakes brings up loads of recipes for them ... and they all contain currants 😁 Baps do indeed mean something quite different.

Nalates Urriah Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Things Change... I usually use Firestorm. I have the Linden viewer installed for troubleshooting and for checking out the latest features. And I generally have one of the Linden RC viewers installed. I also have Black Dragon installed for when I want to do some serious photography in SL. At one time I had every viewer made installed. I did performance tests tracked crash rates and wrote reviews and how-tos for my blog. I learned that the performance leader often changes with each new release. Also, that performance is a combination of which viewer, which settings, and which computer one is using. The region one is in may throw everything off. A change in Draw Distance can change all the performance stats. I consistently found Cool VL Viewer faster on old hardware. I don't compete in combat games like I once did. If I were to get into that again, Cool would be my likely choice. But I would be testing viewers to make sure it was still the best choice. We don't hear much about crash rates or performance these days. Not sure where all the techies have gone. Once upon a time.... combat games were a BIG part of SL. There were many different types. So weapons makers were big and many players were interested in performance. We don't see that now. More people seem to be interested in viewer features. That may explain the lack of tech articles appearing about SL. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is, and it can't be changed just because you were wrong Wrong... You FRAUDULENTLY claimed that in the UK, soft bread rolls are called Tea Cakes, and in fact in most of the UK, they are NOT. You were wrong. You then claimed that what the rest of the UK does simply doesn't count because in the Peoples Republic of Pedantic Pedantic West Yorkshire, some company the rest of the UK has NEVER heard of sells soft bread rolls, under the wrong name, to West Yorkies. You were wrong again. And don't start with the usual "Constantly repeat the obvious wrongness in a smug way, until everyone else gets bored with correcting you, then claim victory on the 'last post before thread lock' basis" thing. We've seen it all before. Remember a thread where you claimed that there had never been more than a couple of dozen vamps in SL, on a couple of regions, and then somebody pointed out that there was some Vamp UN thing with about 20 clans each with it's own region and several dozen members? You tried to deny UTTER WRONGNESS by claiming that since none of those vamps had shopped in your prim furniture store a dozen years before, they simply didn't exist. You always do the same "failed weasel wriggle out of wrongness" dance. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think I did, please find it and quote it. If I'd said, "since none of those vamps had shopped in your prim furniture store a dozen years before, they simply didn't exist", it can't have been posted too long ago and you should be able to find it easily enough.

Moles Quartz Mole Posted September 7, 2023 Moles Share Posted September 7, 2023 This thread went completely off topic long ago, and now it's turned into sniping at individual posters, I'm locking it. Please feel free to discuss differences between viewers in a new thread in this forum or in the SL Viewer subforum, but let's try to keep the next one on topic, enjoyable though the food fight has been. 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
