Far more apt, actually. This cup is much smaller than a pot.

Grateful to be 91 and aspiring.

Get Stuffed

To use the Laq kitchen island as a breakfast bar, I removed the sink and pulled the cloth with the candles, etc, over to hide the resulting hole.

I searched for a Mac-compatible auto-refresh not long ago, and never found one.

I wondered why I was getting time-outs in 7 minutes or so (set at 72 seconds). Maddening! I didn't detect the double ping.

More like asking for trouble.

Maybe? There's no maybe about it. I know this woman! She's my partner's sister. I double-damn guarantee there will be a tacky snowman at one of our houses (her sister is just as apt to do it as is Nika) throwing snowballs at passers-by, and the address(es) will be posted to garner MORE passers-by. {sigh}

On Monday, in anticipation of the release, I was refreshing at 3 second intervals (or less when I missed a house and went back and re-started the ARP.) This is what was recorded coming across my screen, beginning at 3:01PM SLT (I also saw two boats and three houses between 1:30 and 3). All are houses unless noted (B). (a number means that many units came up in less than a minute) In a very few cases, I was afk, and a time listed for a house might have been a houseboat. I counted 17 houses and 15 houseboats in the release. Approximately these numbers were confirmed by others on inworld

A lottery solves some intractable process problems. It doesn't solve emotional ones. No system LL could implement can solve them all.

But you specified the imagined complaints of people who DID know!

"You" wouldn't know who won or when.

The OP asks for an opinion of the release method and a suggestion for a better way. Abner Mole has explained a serious constraint on what that might be. Over the last couple of weeks, I have read the complaints and the objections to every proposed improvement. Both seem to me to be entirely valid. Yet, there are serious problems with the “new” release routine. Constrained as it must be to US business hours, it places an insurmountable burden on residents of Europe, Asia, Africa or Australia, and a lesser (but significant) burden on all who work or travel. Then it releases individua
