  1. Just tell her it was with another dude. Because, as we've all been told, time and time again, there are no women on the internet. (And if there were, they wouldn't be interested in virtual sex.)
  2. Turn off your AO. ETA: Sometimes you need to give the danceball permission to animate your avatar.
  3. Wasteland 3 has an epic soundtrack that really sets the mood. This is the trailer score..
  4. New day, new peeve. I moved into an HOA* home around the beginning of September. I've asked no less than 3 times for an HOA sticker for my car. Today, as I was tossing my trash, a woman drives up to toss a teeny baglet of trash. We exchange pleasantries. I drive home. She follows me... to my door.. to ask where my HOA sticker was. Grills me with several questions. I tell her I've asked for one 3 times since I moved in. As she's about to drive off I say: "Tell them I need a sticker!" Her: "It's not my job ma'am." Me: "But it is your job to stop me at my door?" Her: *Drives off* My peeve is busybodies. I got enough at work, I do not want at home. *I know some will say "Ugh HOAs!". But really it's not bad. They take care of landscaping and outside pest control and trash. It's not the HOA that's being Karen-ish. ETA: My next door neighbor is a lovely little old man who has been nothing but kind. I lucked out getting him as a neighbor.
  5. It's the level of insanity for, what amounts to them, $18. (Though if it goes back to working once again, they'd still get some value for that $18.) Far less for most businesses in SL at 30L/per week for one store. At least 10 hours of their time. 1.5 hours just de-listing and re-listing means they've valued their time at $12/hr. Walls of text of course, are their reason for being. Further, SL is working just dandy. I'm logged on, sorting stuff on an alt on my mainland. Basic functionality achieved.
  6. Realistically, how much time is that for you to do? How much is your time worth? $18/week seems to be valuing yourself rather low. You'll eventually have to re-list them so time taken there too. So you lost one day's 'worth'. At $18 that's a loss of (again) $2.50 give or take PER DAY. Now add in the reams of time you've spent kvetching here on the blogrums.. I believe the saying is "Penny wise and pound foolish." It's like the guy that drives 10 miles away to save 5 cents a gallon on gas.
  7. Well dear, Basic math tells us there are 168 hours in any given week, sweetie. Those features were down for what? Two or three hours, darling? Oh honey, 30L divided by 168 equals 0.1785714285714286L$. Not 17 cents. 0.17 of ONE LINDEN DOLLAR. So, "30,000" Linden dollars divided by 168 is what sweetheart? THEN times 2 or 3.. gosh, still about 2 bucks. If your margin is that slim, cutie pie, you may want to re-think basing your 'business' model on a platform you have no control over. Tell ya what I ain't smokin.. entitlement crack.
  8. Ahh, okay, so it has to do with someone wanting everyone, looking for land or not, to see an ad? "Google, how many times can I roll my eyes in one day without damaging them?"
  9. wut? What does the 30L$ (that's 30L, not $30) weekly parcel search cost have to do with .. anything? You're actually kvetching about *does the math* 0.1785714285714286L$ lost due to SL being down for an hour? Even if it were 1000 parcels, it's only what 179L? About 75 cents. Get. A. Grip. People pay $15.00 a month for MMOs that have a weekly down time of 8 or more hours. No where does LL promise to have SL up and running 24/7. No where. That they largely do, and with free accounts, makes SL one of the more economical and available pastimes.
  10. Newspapers only refresh once every 24 hours.
  11. Yesterdays newspaper is todays fishwrap. Cranks that keep banging on about something were called "Letters to the Editor". A boil water notice doesn't need to be repeated after the need to boil water is no longer necessary.
  12. I don't speak (or read) German. Neither would I be arsed to even try and translate it as described. No Greeter bot means I can't copy/paste it into a web translator from chat. (Even if it were in German and not one that sends a message in the persons Viewers default language.) From the photo you provided, there's nothing to my naked eye that says "Private". This isn't a 'naughty them' problem. It's a 'your methods aren't enough' problem. You've gotten a LOT of good advice here and feedback of problem areas seen through another set of eyes. What would it hurt to give the simplest ones (a greeter and signs in several languages) a try and see if that improves your situation? ETA: I forgot a quote. I wasn't replying to Theresa, I was jumping off from her post.
  13. Without actual signage saying something like 'Please respect our renters private parcels' in an otherwise open to the public sim, personally, I would assume that would be open to the public. I used to live on a sim that was open to the public and had private rentals. Most people respect that sort of rule. Maybe it's time to change your approach to the problem you're having.
  14. Syo, I didn't have time earlier, but I wanted to say that this is so gorgeous!
  15. yes. iirc, it's all an estimation either way. Your best bet is to rez a prim that is the height you want and don't sweat the viewer numbers.
  16. That happens because your mesh has to rez. It happened when you were wearing the alpha too, you just couldn't see the system head due to the alpha. You may have seen it happen to others as they rez in, turning from grey to invisible to mesh.
  17. My girl was on today, so we had a bit of painting fun...
  18. Because it had to be said: THAT'S HOT! ❤️
  19. It's not impossible to care about more than one thing at a time. The topic should remain open.
