Clutches are tough to learn. Learning to use them is a matter of muscle-memory training. So, lots of practice is required.

I would avoid using a car that requires manual shifting via a clutch. Too much other stuff happening.

In the UK learning to drive a manual car is the norm. You can learn to drive an automatic but once you pass your test you get a license that only allows you do drive an auto and these cars tend to cost more because they aren't common, if you pass in a manual you can also drive an automatic. I switched to an auto as my daily drive a few years ago and would be loathed to go back to manual

As far as I know, these old houses are not available to pick any more. I don't even see Victorians, but I don't roll for a home very often.

If you really want one of the old themes they are still available to pick on the homes page

[So what do you all think to the Premium Plus package?]

Absolutely no! the price is crazy already 99 $ I find it too expensive for what they give

but 249 $ if you then calculate that many countries have to pay us VAT (for example in Europe an average from 20 / 22 up to even 25%) I would say absolutely no

In the UK at least VAT isn't charged on an annual premium membership, 

https://secondlife.com/corporate/vat?lang=en

It would seem other countries don't get charged either on annual plans

What are the items for which Linden Lab doesn't charge VAT?

Transactions in L$ between individual Residents are not subject to VAT. Linden Lab does not charge VAT for Annual Premium Membership subscriptions

[So what do you all think to the Premium Plus package?]

For what's offered it's really disappointing the two things that would be of any interest to me aren't worth a $50 price hike over two separate premiums and a paltry L$50 a week extra stipend. As it stands I haven't dipped in to my current premium group bonus. I can't remember the last time my messages capped. I haven't needed to upload a texture in yonks and if I really needed a group that I couldn't use the one I inherited ownership of for I'd suck up the L$100 to create a new one. 

[Person requesting a refund at a shop & hop event]

I have no idea what a Shop and Hop event is

It's the LL run shopping event over numerous regions like Golden, Snowflake, Frosted & Hollyhock. They tie them in with SLB, Halloween, Christmas and Valentines. An unintended purchase can happen if you are trying to check the price and a pet, child, muscle spasm, not paying attention causes you to click buy instead of cancel. Unless the product is no copy or a double purchase the customer should suck their mistake and get on with their day. If they can get away with scamming you out of money they'll try it with other merchants

[Denim advice?]

I'd say one on the left if you want to wear the outfit as is. The one in the middle if you have a shoe that matches the base colour of the tank top 

[Is there any way to locate a list of all store credit?]

Unless you are shopping at certain stores regularly you're unlikely to have accrued enough credit to be able to buy something with it unless the store allows you to top up your existing credit. as you go about shopping in general many vendors allow you to click or right click > touch and get a blue dialogue, most often the "discount" option will tell you if you have any credit

[Just wondering...]

There have been viewers in the past capable of VR. The last version of Lumiya that was available on the play store has a VR mode, must need a very high spec phone plus goggles to slot your phone in to for it to be in anyway acceptable neither of which I have

[Help with necklaces.]

Never taken any notice where my necklaces attach. If i wear something new and it's not in the right place i'll use edit mode to get it mostly in place. Many times a resizer is included with non rigged so i'll use that get a better size then use edit mode to refine the position a bit more, you don't need to be too precise as animations and clothes can affect if it clips a bit. once i have something sized i wont adjust it to fit with clothes mostly they work out ok

[lookin for... Asia 'style' houses]

Trompe Loeil currently has an Asian offering for their L$50 super fan special

The ratings for regions are General, Moderate, and Adult. There is no PG rating

Once upon a time regions were rated PG, Mature & Adult. I don't know when things changed but General is the same as PG

well i look more better than some 10 years old noobies

Those 10 year old noobies you speak of either don't care to change their look, have taken a long hiatus from SL or feel they can't replicate their look with the currently available mesh

regarding trying to "sell" your account the ToS specifically states

Don't get too excited, though. The post is from 2021. No idea if she's still got a store or not.

Web profile seems to suggest the creator either got banned or more likely deleted their account so @BrattyGirl UwU is out of luck in wanting to source this particular item

[Rainbow Platform Sneakers]

The only place i can think of that would sell anything like that is Epic but the marketplace presence is no longer available and creator appears to have deleted their account

[Is SL down?]

If you are trying to login to the region you just acquired it might not be ready yet. try logging elsewhere in SL. I've been TP-ing all over the place weekend shopping and not encountered any problems when having to log back in after a bad TP

I saw a few notes that said in the Victorian times of the 1800s, those with a bathtub would bathe a few times a month, while the really poor would often only bathe once a year (eek).  Of course, back then, doctors also thought that bathing was bad for your health.

That is quite true if you've every wondered why a bride carries a bouquet on her wedding, back in those times the scent of the flowers were used to mask the stench that resulted from washing as little as once a year

I took a look a this, and was considering it, but haven't had the best luck with Kactus stuff in the past. It breaks up just a short distance away.

 

Normally i'd swerve Kactus for that very reason. this set does stay looking as it should on a LOD of 2
