    I was going to keep the new connection a secret until it showed up on the SL map, but apparently the cat is already out of the bag now.... I would like to announce that I have made my first ever sea crossing from the west central coast of Satori (at Stromberg) into Bellisseria (at SSPTiedown Inlet), using two new sea regions called SSPDeep Anchor and SSPSteady On, which now link the two continents water together. My crossing took place on Monday 15th August 2022 between 10:24 SLT (Stromberg) and 10:26 SLT (SSPTiedown Inlet), then I turned back through the new sea channel and arrived back in Stromberg at 10:28 SLT. I had witnesses, Lloyd Overland and Abnor Mole, both who saw me turn around after entering Bellisseria and then go back to Stromberg to make the trip a both-ways event.

As I write this right now, I am still sailing, and about to become the first person to in SL to sail non-stop from Bellisseria to the Blake Sea!

    Don't you dare start calling autogyros "helicopters", because I will PEEVE!

    Perhaps they assume the cash machine also dispenses convienient reciept-sized paper towels to cleanse hands with after touching dirty or inky banknotes?

    No. Fill them with live fish.

    Buy a large aquarium! Large walls of water are very good at disrupting or blocking wi-fi radio signals! If you have a poor wi-fi signal, try searching for a "hidden" aquarium in the immediate vicinity of your wi-fi router, so that you may either drain or move the aquarium elsewhere!

    Whirlybird is one. It even coined the name for a tv show about helicopter pilots
  17. SarahKB7 Koskinen
    Never heard of a NOTAR helicopter?
  18. SarahKB7 Koskinen
    An aircraft is any type of flying craft which can fly in the atmosphere. A helicopter is a type of aircraft which uses one or more rotary wings for its lift. ("helicopter" means helix and wing in Greek) An aeroplane is a type of aircraft which uses a fixed horizontal aeroplane wing for its lift.

    @Rolig Loon The Wright Brothers built their aeroplanes using the guidelines and principles of aeronautics written by Sir George Cayley (1773-1857), the English-born "father of aeronautics". The Wright Brothers admitted it even themselves, after their own first powered flight in the "Kitty Hawk Flyer" in 1903, stating on public record that they could not have been achieved their flight without Cayley's lifetime of aeronautical research work, which was published for all to read and use. Cayley even flew small unmanned model aeroplanes and gliders himself, literally over half a century before the Wright Brothers were even born! So to say the Wright Brothers "invented" the aeroplane is both inaccurate and untrue. The Wright Brothers didn't even achieve the first ever powered flight, the honour went to Henri Giffard of France in 1852, who flew a steam-powered propellor driven airship (the Giffard Dirigible) HALF A CENTURY before the Wright Brother's own first flight of 1903. As with most "history" that originates from North America, it is often untrue or warped in such a way to show the US in the best possible nationalistic light, even at the expense of actual facts or truth.

    The wing of an aircraft viewed in cross-section has a curved upper surface and a flatter lower surface. This shape is scientifically and classically called an aeroplane. The word aeroplane also lends its classic Greek name to the whole of the aircraft too, as this is how the aircraft is able to lift and fly. This shape is never called or spelt as "airplane". As high speed air passes over (and under) an aircraft's aeroplane wing, the shape of the aeroplane wing creates two pressure differences; low pressure on the curved upper surface and high pressure on the flatter lower surface of the wing. This difference generates a pressure difference, causing the aeroplane to lift up and rise. "Airplane" is a lazy, unscientific, slurring and misspelling of aeroplane and should be avoided.
  21. SarahKB7 Koskinen
    Peeve: The word "airplane". The correct and scientific name of a winged self-propelled flying craft is an "aeroplane", not "airplane" (sic). Aero (Greek) meaning air. Used in aeroplane, aeronautics, aerospace, aerobic, Aero chocolate bars etc. Even NASA uses it, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. "Airplane" is just a lazy slurred shortening/misspelling of aeroplane and should be avoided.

    Q: What is the hottest part of a room? A: The corners, because they're always at ninety degrees. 😜

    Those are the Sakura demo regions.

    Orientation Island (2008) Different versions of SL's Orientation Island have existed throughout the years of SL and most people might only recall the one they experienced, as returning to Orientation Island after the initial tuition, is not permitted. However, some versions of Orientation Island do still have Public versions which can be revisited for the nostalgia. Sadly, mine can't. My own experience of Orientation Island was in June 2008 and no longer exists. It had four zones with mandatory tasks to accomplish. Failure to pass all the tasks needed would prevent you leaving Orientation Island. Here's what Orientation Island in June 2008 looked like: The Appearance Tutorial, as I vaguely remember it, featured a castle that one could walk through, accomplishing tasks such as attaching and carrying a flaming torch to a particular destination. The Communicate Tutorial involved to a talking to a large parrot who wanted a kiss. The parrot was the first creature in SL I ever talked to and is still the only creature I have willingly kissed! The Movement Tutorial involved driving a gocart around a small town. I spent quite a lot of time on the gocart as I found it quite fun as it reminded me of Mario Kart. There was another task which required you to walk inside one of the town's towers, then fly up inside it as a way to learn to fly. The Search Tutorial is a complete mystery to me as I have no recollection of doing it! But I must have completed the tasks there, as I would still be in Orientation Island today! At the centre of the sim was an area one could return to after passing all the required tasks. with some kind of teleporter which would allow the avatar to move from Orientation Island out into the wider SL grid. After my "graduation" in Orientation Island, I was teleported out and arrived in Miramare infohub, one of the Nova Albion sims. I now consider Miramare to be my "birthplace" !

    @Prokofy Neva Sorry, my little mistake, I got a bit confused by what Telehubs actually did as I've never used one! I now realise there was no fee to pay with them, as in fact it seems Telehubs actually replaced the unpopular teleport fee system. So, your questioning is appreciated and my error is corrected. I was too late to experience either Telehubs or teleport fees. But I did know that the locations of many Telehubs were later changed into Infohubs.
