Random headline: "German fire fighters had to rescue rat trapped in sewer grate". Poor thing!

My condolences!

Correct!

Is that the title of the book, or did your relationship with the book end once you were finished with it ..?

Yes. I'll give you a clue: every year, reenactors of Danish soldiers breach the town gate. The Danish conquest sort of fizzled out and the territory never swapped hands. When Stockholm got word about how the town had gone ahead and constructed a town wall (which is a special privilege that only cities with express permission may do according to medieval law in large parts of Europe), the town was fined by the king. Thanks to the wall, the town is now an UNESCO world heritage.

So, a fjord?

As much as I do love that train, I don't expect it'd make the best living arrangement for two reasons. Firstly, it's a bit unwieldy - you'd need a pretty large chunk of land to accommodate it. The ratio of interior floor space to exterior space requirement isn't the most optimal; just rezzing the locomotive and one cart takes up a fair stretch of land. Secondly, it has a fairly high draw weight, as is usual with stuff from DRD unfortunately. Especially if you want to make a scenic surrounding on ground level with neighbors having their stuff about, it's likely to get quite laggy rather fast. An alternative that I unfortunately can't point at any specific product for, is to get an interior only build. I have come across trains (and airplanes) that are built with just the interior, and out the windows there's a scripted texture that moves as if you're flying through the air. It's been a while since I saw any, but they are around, somewhere.

There's Virtual Secrets, of course ...

US presidents are changed out every 4-8 years, I don't see why this is any more 'historical' than the inauguration of Franklin Pierce. Do you think that, in a hundred years' time, people are going to look back to today and say 'this was especially significant' or 'this was an important turning point in US history'? People are a bit liberal with calling things 'historical', in my opinion. Personally I'm watching something that contains both history and cooking!

Please elaborate on how it is 'sexism towards women'. Surely, you don't think that criticizing or blaming anyone who happens to be a man is 'sexism towards men'? Or should I feel offended whenever someone points out that Gavrilo Princip's actions led to the first world war? I don't refute the fact that there are intelligent women, by any means - but that's an extremely anecdotal point which certainly has no influence whatsoever on anything at all. And maybe Earth is flat, and the pyramids were constructed by an extraterrestrial civilization that popped by that one time to stack some stones and then went on their merry way, satisfied with having slightly modified the topography of certain areas of our planet.

Tooot.

Are you referring to unpacking things? Some, but not all, can be attached (added) to your avatar to be unpacked. Unfortunately you usually won't know before you've tried to rez (drag to the floor) or attach it to see whether that worked.

Have you tried to log in with the SL viewer to see whether that works? If FS is having issues and there are several people having them, I'm sure they'll be fixed soon. You could try an older version meanwhile (assuming the SL viewer works, if not, it might not be the viewer itself).

Not just posts - I walked around with my tag 'enthusiast of eucalyptus' for I don't know how long before I noticed it had been changed ... Anyway, today's peeve! Not being able to have pets with my current living situation. They so cute!

It says it's easy right at the subtitle of this very board. Surely, LL can't be wrong! I remain of the opinion that making friends in SL isn't difficult, and that people who claim it is difficult are doing it wrong. But, we've already been there and done that, and I don't feel that I have more to contribute to in that particular question than I already have, except perhaps for this: to look for friends in clubs is like looking for decent food in a vegan restaurant.

I'm pretty sure it's a universal trait in humanity. We've been given extremely clear, strict instructions about how to behave in school: only 5 people at a time at the lunch buffet, keep 2 meters apart, don't congregate between classes (yay, apartheid!), only be in the food court during your specific times, don't have guests, don't go to parties, don't travel collectively, only go into the village if you have errands, etc - and still, most days when I go to lunch I'll see people literary clinging on top of each other, people from different classes sitting next to each other, people moving the chairs closer and moving tables together (I mean there's a reason there's only 2 chairs per table, but nooo, of course Covid safety measures don't apply to you lot). Unfortunately the staff don't have the guts to tell them off in person, instead we have repeatedly been given 'reminders' to follow the rules, every morning meeting .. Which of course they don't seem to understand is directed at them. The other day I even overheard one saying something along the lines of "I don't understand these new rules, why can't we sit with the other people?". That people remain ignorant of what's been going on for the past year, and remain oblivious of what strategy society has adopted to cope, or flat out refuse to believe that they could possibly be part of the problem .. Well, that's why I become more misanthropic with every passing year; last year certainly added fuel to last a while.

So. Just an eccentric, then.

Yes. I mean, L$3,000 is L$3,000, if it's just for the company whilst shopping I don't think there's any harm - but when he called it a 'kink' ...

I agree with that it looks like material shine, though a larger sample to confirm that it occurs in more areas would provide more proof that it's that. Genus' specular map is a bit peculiar in some lighting conditions, personally I've set the normal intensity to 10% to make it as subtle as possible, and occasionally have to tamper with a bit of brushwork to fix up the highlights. What you could do is turn on ALM and rez a prim light in front of your face and move it around a bit to see whether it appears (that is, assuming it doesn't appear normally), and if that creates similar effects then you could try to adjust your specular intensity of the head (or turn it off completely).
