I'm told Elon Musk believes this (Universe is a simulation). For me that's good enough. Anyone who believes they can land a rocket booster on it's ass on a floating platform in the Atlantic.... ... and then do it (time after time), has to be on to something. I don't believe in Electric Cars though, they all have tiny diesels inside somewhere.

I'm a nasty ***** in both worlds, because I really do play me in both. It's not my fault, I was abused as a teenager when Mom wouldn't let my three boyfriends stay over together.

No it's not American, as I keep saying. If it is I'd like the VAT on my tier back please. 🥰

Perhaps that's right. We, as a species, are being punished for what we do to the world by our all-consuming greed. Call it Lock-down. It's a punishment. We should never go back to 'normal'. All it will do is kill the planet.

You are completely missing my point. Most Americans, like most Russians, and most Chinese, like ... (using the words for politico-national, and not racial, identification) are great, and I love them deeply, my best friend ever is an American. But people send posts to these forums assuming everyone is American, and that we all have American values, and understand things like having a Written Constitution and rule of law. It's a false assumption. The 'Kentuckiy' was a reference to a Russian pronunciation of the great state's name. It was used as a term of endearment in its context. Actually a yearning for the speaker to go there. I apologise profusely to anyone my post offended.

I'd just like to point out, re Selene's picture, the the word 'fine' used to mean 'thin' or 'delicate', before it was appropriated to mean 'well'. We are in for a fine time.

As CH Spurgeon said of the Cholera epidemic in 1890's: "Sudden Death is Sudden Glory". We are all going to die. It's just a matter of when, and how. I don't mind dying, I'd like to not hurt anyone else on my way. So I am Social Distancing. SL is a fun thing to do while waiting for the future to be now.

I know Americans think their country is the only one in the world, and that all SL people are really Americans at heart. But you are wrong. There IS life outside of Kentuckiy... The only way for any people to keep a majority alive until a vaccine is available is full lockdown social distancing, and any politician telling you otherwise is an imbecile. Anything else overwhelms any medical support, no matter how rich your insurance investors are. You might die keeping your precious 1st Amendment (whatever that is).

You do it the same way you would for an SL system layer. Get hold of, say, 'Robin Wood' 1024 jpg uvs. Unless Gianni uses something else, in which case get that. Open in a graphics program, like GIMP or Photoshop. Make a new layer with transparency, and paint the Tattoo, paying attention to the exact places lines leave the edges and return. (This the skilled bit) Export as a png or tga, and import (ideally to the beta grid) into SL and apply to check. Repeat 3 and 4 until content.

Hey guys! Isn't it nice to meet a new builder who actually wants to learn to do it right? Instead of telling us how skilled he is and how terrible SL is with his 'superior' models. Welcome VonWulfen.

But, of course, to buy a parcel, however cheap and horrible, you need to be Premium. So usually renting one is the easiest thing.

I like the HornlessVikings (search for store HVW in MP) one. Has all the best attributes: 1) it works, 2) it's free, 3) it's full perm!

Where I live in RL, we regularly have Hercs flying at 100ft right over. Often two in short order. It rattles the windows a bit, but I love it. I'd rather boys and gals learned to do it here, than in the war zones.

Use the beta grid for testing. Uploads are free. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Preview_Grid

I refer you to my post elsewhere:

Soon - Maybe one day Very Soon - Next year perhaps

On the other hand, she could have been flying, and then you need to see where you are going... (otherwise I agree, 50-100 meters is enough)

I thought EVERYONE else in SL WAS a purple Blob. Doh! Years wasted....

What Kyrah said. Plus, you need to use the Beta Grid for prototyping to avoid the upload fees.

I went to see it myself. I'm offended by it too. The Huge 'AMSTERDAM' sign is especially revolting un-neighbourliness.

Yes, and I have that set to 'Separate Window', but it didn't affect this particular notification caused, I have now discovered, by a stack overflow in the HUD script. Not able to test 'Nearby Chat' right now. But thanks for the pointer to the setting.

But it didn't (Firestorm) which confused me. I have since traced the problem to a stack overflow in the CTS Wardrobe HUD - easy to fix. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I used to have a window pop up (I'm fairly sure...) when there was a run-time script error. Now I am getting the icon every time I tp, but I cannot seem to find out how to get more information. It's quite likely that I have turned it off. How do I get a script debug for this icon warning?

Stops those pesky noobs getting yer demos too.

Are you wearing shoebases (aka shoe-fitters, aka foot-shapers, aka system feet)? The ones from many shoe makers are set up with white textures and in BoM they look white. If they are no-mod (scream!) then you have to throw them away and make your own with trans textures.
