  1. My only snapshot of Hippiestock, where we filled the pyramid once again...
  2. Hi Caldora, Look at this page... https://lslwiki.digiworldz.com/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=ExampleFixedPrecision Pass temperatureF variable to that function, with a precision value of 1. The result will be a string version of the value with one digit after the decimal point. I haven't tested those functions, so my precision value might be off by one.
  3. It's so nice to see you again, even if this briefly, Hippie. I hope 2023 brings you more healing and joy. Warmest hugs to you and Ladysue.
  4. It also appears to make me look younger, while the grueling process of picking a new SL head had me banging the real one on my desk. I'm taking a break from dolling myself up, but will eventually return to ensure that my SL face reflects the aging it caused.
  5. You can't hide yourself. That would be a massive exploit for griefers. Imagine if I wanted to harass a sim, all I'd have to do is block everyone I see on it and I'd become invisible. I could then wander around interacting with all the objects while everyone else scratches their heads and wonders what the hell has gone wrong.
  6. Preferences->Firestorm The first check box in the pane is "Allow Remote Scripted Viewer Controls (RLVa)".
  7. Here you are in 2011, you little flying minion... Welcome back, Ags!!!
  8. There are certain singers that can instantly trigger my tinnitus. It's fascinating.
  9. I do enjoy that look, Sammy! Would you mind telling me what hair you're wearing?
  10. I rarely have sound turned on, even when at music venues. Silence is golden.
  11. The bulk of my electricity usage happens at night naturally. I get plenty of natural light during the day and my washing machine and dishwasher are both set to do their work while I'm sleeping. My central air conditioner cools my house to 70F during off-peak evenings so that it needn't run as much during the day, when it's set to 74F. When I get an electric car, I'll have it charge overnight. I installed a temperature controlled mixing valve on my emergency backup kid's electric water heater, so it can heat to 150F in the evening without scalding him during his morning shower. The heater rarely, if ever, runs during peak hours, when the thermostat drops to 120F. These measures were easy to implement and save considerable money, They also reduce the need for my power company to invest in additional generation capacity and the greenhouse gas emissions that would result. I think my electric bills are lower now than they were 10 years ago, before demand rates were implemented.
  12. It's very rare that I laugh while at the keyboard. When I do, I'll usually say "Oh, that made me chuckle." Away from my keyboard, my RL days are filled with laughter. SL is my quiet place.
  13. I do use baking soda at times but black jelly beans fix several problems and raise several eyebrows. For me, cooking is performance art.
  14. When there's nobody in my life, I wear the same outfit day after day. I'm the only one who notices and I don't care. This is also true of RL, where I'll wear the same paint stained jeans and sweatshirt until they need washing, then I toss them in the hamper and grab new paint stained jeans and a sweatshirt. You're most likely to find me wearing steel toed work boots around the house. In the early months of my marriage, I found a pair of high heels that were classy, sexy, and most importantly, comfy. Because I hate shopping, I bought two dozen pairs in a rainbow of colors. I simultaneously bought a rainbow of clip on bows. By mixing and matching, I was able go weeks without repeating. At holidays, I'd often wear two different colored shoes (ex: purple and pink for Easter, green and red for Xmas, red and blue with white bows for July 4). I had a pilot's license, I have a ham radio license, my driver's license is rated for motorcycle. I'm an engineer, I own and drive a tractor with a front end loader, I corner my new Miata tighter than my emergency backup kid (a 28yr old ripped male) corners the old one I gave him, because he's a 'fraidy cat. I have a MIG/TIG stick welder, a wire welder, and gas welder. I have a milling machine and a very well equipped woodworking shop. I can sew, which I did mostly in my childhood to make big kites (largest 15ft across) and little parachutes for my Barbie dolls, which I hurled into the sky on a homemade trebuchet. I broke a garage window during a chemistry experiment gone wrong. I hit my emergency backup kid in the groin with a fastball after he dared me to play catch with him while wearing the high heels I'd put on for a client appointment. I did at least have the good sense to stay on the driveway while he was on the lawn. I sometimes use black jelly beans in spaghetti sauce to counter tart tomatoes from the farmer's market, add the taste of fennel, and thicken the sauce so I needn't boil off as much liquid. If a see a spider in the range hood, I'm likely to sweep it into the pot. I make my much younger cousins blush while playing "Crimes Against Humanity". I routinely hear "How did you do that?". I sometimes hear "Why did you do that?". Because I'm nefarious, I rarely hear "Did you do that?", especially when I did. Here in SL, regardless of avi, I'd make no effort to present as anything other than myself, which by most accounts is as "weird".
  15. That's got far less to do with gender than a host of other factors. Most parents have less short term sway over their children than new people in their lives. My ex-hubby's daughter spent one weekend with me last year. He's still trying to exorcise the devil I seeded in her.
  16. I still have many of mine in the attic. Animal (from Sesame Street) went through grad school with me and took up residence in my office when I started my career. He's currently draped over the headboard in my guest bedroom, ready to terrorize anyone who dares a visit. There's a lever above his mouth which, when squeezed, closes his eyes. Just the right squeeze can produce a nightmare inducing beady eyed squint.
  17. I could never watch them as a cub, way too violent for me! You'd never have survived the McMasters family hand puppet theater. By the end of our little plays, one of the characters had invariably been gobbled up by another.
  18. I've heard that liking The Three Stooges is a male "tell". I love them! @Scylla Rhiadra and I have agreed to split the Howard twins. She took Trevor, I took Curly.
  19. This, Charalyne, is a reason I'm grateful for SL. If it finally vanishes, I'll grieve for everyone who was able to fully realize themselves here.
