    @FiniteNo. US states are nothing like European countries. Area size is a poor comparison. Massachusetts only has a population of 7 million people, while Germany has a population of 83 million people. CO2

    SL runs off an ancient graphics engine and only uses a single core of a CPU. Buying a new 8 core AMD Ryzen 5800X3D CPU just for SL is extreme overkill and a waste of money.

    The trade name/business name "Linden Lab" is a ficticious pseudonym. The company name is officially Linden Research Incorporated. See: https://www.lindenlab.com/releases/linden_research_to_be_acquired

    Linden Research > Muppets > Poppets Ok the thread is now waaaay off topic....

    Fun fact: The creator of "The Muppet Show" and "Sesame Street", Jim Henson, created the name "muppet" in 1958 as a combination of the words marionette and puppet. In the United Kingdom, the name "muppet" over several decades has become a light-hearted British term for someone who is easily controlled, easily persuaded, obedient and subservient - like a puppet or marionette. This in turn has led "Muppet" to further evolve into an insult for someone who is gullible, foolish or a brainless idiot. "You're a muppet", "You muppet", "They're muppets", "You're all muppets", "That muppet over there" . 😜

    Linden Research Incorparated was founded by Philip Rosedale in 1999 to research and develop electronic haptics (touch and feel) technologies. Haptics are devices worn on the body, or held in the hand which are similar to the vibrating "rumble" motors, or pressure-sensitive control buttons and trigger mechanisms found inside video games console control pads. Linden Research's small team initially operated from a building at 333 Linden Street in San Francisco, which influenced the "Linden Research" name. The Linden Research team nicknamed themselves the "Linden Lab", with individuals known as "Lindens". As well as developing haptics, Linden Research also developed a 3D virtual environment called "Linden World" to test their haptics in. After seeing the potential of the 3D world, new investors changed the company's research direction, prioritising the development of the 3D "Linden World" environment into an online virtual world business and haptics research was shelved. The "Linden World" 3D environment also had a name change to "Second Life". "Linden Labs" is just an informal in-house nickname, the company has always officially been called Linden Research Inc. The Linden Research company logo is based on a lime tree. Why? Because lime trees are known as linden trees. Another name for a lime tree is Tilia!

    Teleport to Horizons A1 to play!

    There are also large cleared contiguous spaces found to the south and east.

    Peeve: Being surprised with a mouthful of black tea leaves after the tea bag (removed) had secretly sprung a leak....

    After some map clicking and inworld exploration, I've mapped the approximate extent of empty void space found between Sansara and Satori, which COULD be used for future Bellisseria expansion(s):

    Another new pet peeve: People who ride bicycles on pedestrian pathways when a dedicated bicycle lane is LITERALLY ALONGSIDE IT!!! MOVE! Grrr!
  15. SarahKB7 Koskinen
    YES! It's the media/video player, all the windows in all the surrounding Stilt homes are affected too. But only when standing in the parcel footprint. The glass texture is set to act as a video media screen! Construction error?

    I finally met Fluffy today, in Horizons! First time I'd ever played it and finished it. Fun game.

    Is that "reflection" still there with other alts, or your main @EnchantrixLisa?

    Didn't see the scores mentioned in the forums, but the Residents vs Moles boat race on Saturday 16th April 2022 concluded with a 34-21 win for the RESIDENTS!

    Found a magnificently detailed network map of Sansara continent, drawn by the Second Life Geography Institute. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/slgi/images/5/5f/Sansara_Waterways.png/revision/latest?cb=20150730120849

    Theoretically, if a sizable new LH theme was placed to the north of the Log Homes, a water link from this new theme to the north east corner of Sansara continent (at Bleaberry Tarn) would be relatively short and cheap, negating the need for an expensive new Sansara east coast to be created. Bleaberry Tarn region is as important as Stromberg is. From Bleaberry Tarn, north/central Sansara and Heterocera continent could then be linked to Bellisseria and the eastern continents by water. Southern Sansara's inland lakes (contained by mountains and dams) can't be linked as they have a higher altitude surface water level at 80m.

    @4lice Cerise Congrats for your new road on Jeogeot continent! Nangrim region (2021): Now! 😍

    I wonder where Sakura will go? North of the Newbrookes, or to the east of them? Both?! I suppose it depends on how much further north the Newbrookes will eventually go.
  23. SarahKB7 Koskinen
    Not just the houses, the theme name "Sakura" too, meaning Cherry tree blossom.
  24. SarahKB7 Koskinen
    Time to place a bet on what Sakura's Community Centre might look like. Some ideas.... 1. A giant Japanese Pagoda? 2. A hollow/extinct volcano crater? 3. A Cat Island, filled with trillions of feral cats/moles? (!) 4. A giant Onsen (hot springs)? 5. Something to do with Torii (large red traditional gates) ? 6. Godzilla vs Mothra fight arena...(!) 7. A Japanese fort/castle/shrine? 8. Mount Fuji? 9. Aokigahara, a very creepy forest where suicidal Japanese people go (!) 10. Something to do with the famous Tokyo television tower, or Sky Tree observation tower? Or something else?! 😜

    @Patch Linden said in his Bellisseria Fairgrounds speech, "Wait until you see the community centre when we release them." "them"....
