I gave up on the Outfits folder years ago when no-nesting was first implemented and started dressing via my inventory: I made a folder called Ensembles and have my outfits sub-foldered by the ways I look for outfits--snow, dancing, steampunk, crowded texture-tastic events.... I heard it became possible to nest Outfits folders again but carried on with my new system, figuring no-nesting was apt to happen again someday.

That was probably Druscilla's Whim. The "Danger Tinies" and "Danger Dinkies" things are a hoot.

I haven't spent enough time in Kama City (northwest Zindra) to know what's normal, but I'd assumed that's how traffic lights there work. I'm surprised they're actual barriers; the region borders tend to be in the middle of the road, so if someone switched lanes to avoid a barrier then switched back again they sometimes might experience problems. Makes me think of a running joke in an old comedy sketch show. The punchline was always "Well don't DO that!"

Alice Project, maybe?

I love that there's a place in SL where I can go and walk for ages that's sure to be nice and is always *going* to be nice. No suddenly vacant parcels, no getting threatened or sent home by security systems that weren't there yesterday. And I can even pick from different themes.

Wish I'd heard about the closure soon enough to do that. Missed it by four days, apparently. I wanted the alpha layers pack too.

Is there any way to still get those alphas? I thought I had them but I don't.

Strange how hard it is to find pants-layer indigo jeans that go as high as they can. I do file by waist height, but my inventory has nothing. Everything is either not indigo, holey, doesn't go all the way up, or isn't pants layer. Two *underpants*- layer dark denim jeans that go as high as they can are in the inventory Library: Female Rocker Jeans & Male City Jeans. Being underpants layer, they're skin-tight. The latter have optional sculpt cuffs, one of which for no obvious reason is titled "(Brown)".

When I was new one of the first things I did was reduce my height to something realistic. (And learned to make a measuring stick, my first lesson in building.) For the next few months as I slowly modified all my dimensions people kept asking me if I was a child avatar. It all suddenly stopped when I lengthened the neck. I've only been asked twice since. Proportion apparently is important to perception.

The systematic harassment of people posting New Year's ASCII that I saw last night settled my mind on the subject. The art, in moderation, makes me smile. People whining that it's unfashionable remind me of school bullies. Suppressing the positive and accentuating the negative is A Bad Thing. Let the positive feelings roll!

Sounds like for some reason the regions aren't "subtracting" elements that are de-rezzed or which leave the region.

If there's snow, the winter breeze occasionally makes a drawn out hiss. In winter if there are trees nearby, there's a creaking sound, especially when it's breezy. Wind in winter branches sounds like autumn's rattling leaves to me.

Why not just memorize the name of the continents like in RL? There aren't many of them. In any case, the names are only to make it easy to mention them to other people, we could just say "the bullseye continent", "the fishhook continent", "the continent with the snowlands", "the unfinished northern continent" etc.. That said, it is surprisingly hard to find a free readable map you can place in-world, and most are more than a decade old (so Bellisseria isn't there). They all tend to leave out the Sharp continent and they don't feature commonly referenced areas like the Sea of Fables, Horizons, etc., but they do tend to point out the Blake Sea, the Snowlands, and Bay City. - When I was new, the first map I found was Aley's "SLestrial Globe" [sic] (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/SLestrial-Globe-10-prims/6258051 ) which has this old map: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Antique-Nautical-SL-Old-World-Map/6256555 which also mentions the Nocera islands (old Linden housing). - You see this 2009 map all over the grid, but the Second Life Wiki search engine doesn't turn it up unless you already know where to look: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Second_Life_Road_Network_Directory Well, there's always Google Images....

The policy also punishes subsequent residents--who weren't the one who employed the offending orb. They have to take the time to remove a name from the parcel ban list and have no idea if it's harmless to answer this surprise request. In many cases they also have to learn how to manage a list they didn't even know existed, which may require someone else's time to explain.
