Oh maybe like the Genus Baby Face head?

I believe I heard it from Oz at a recent meeting too.

It is due to the uplift but was under the impression it was because extra regions were not scheduled to be put up till their time came.

Lately it has been for my i7-7700 3GB 1060 with GB/30MB connection too in both S/L and Opensim.

The region it was on is Event Plaza at Osgrid, running OpenSim 0.9.2.0 Yeti Dev 726fc92a2b: 2020-08-04 21:28:37. More surprisingly then how many there were, was how fast both the region and the avatars all loaded. Couple minutes and everything was complete.

Probably Ubit's Y engine.

Today on Osgrid at a fundraising event, they had 51 people on one region while I was there, without a speck of lag to be seen anywhere. Yesterday it was close to 60. That was with hypergridding on as a number came over from other grids. Fun was had by all.

Did you see the notice recently that SecondLife was not going to sell any regions for now? Not exactly confidence inspiring about its ability to scale. Again, it does not need to scale in the same way as S/L does. Opensim is like the bit torrent of virtual worlds, many small nodes interconnected but independent. One node breaks down has little effect on the whole whereas if a Linden trips over the server cord, the lights go out for the whole grid. I disagree. No doubt there will be those who cannot wrap their heads around the idea of hypergridding and will be stuck on their own small grid or standalone but I think many will figure it out and take it in stride. Opensim's current lack of userbase attraction is simply that S/L is too convenient to pass up but being we are discussing what happens if S/L goes down, then for most there will be a lot less learning curve sticking with something like Opensim then moving to another virtual world. Are you meaning Osgrid? I don't know of a grid called Opengrid that would have a concurrency of 113. In any case that is only one of many grids out there, both visible and on the dark net. American daytime concurrency on those grids that publish their stats are much higher than that alone. Grids that hide their stats, education grids as well as all the Dreamgrid installations would bump those numbers up a lot more again. You are drastically underestimating the concurrency numbers basing it on this Opengrid alone.

With the available architecture options of Opensim, there is no need to create a grid like Secondlife. There can be many (and there are) different grids which still have access to each other through the Hypergrid. Each Grid or region thereon is capable, hardware and pipe permitting, of having 40-60 avatars on it at once. Opensim by its very nature is capable of hosting every avatar that is and ever has been on the secondlife grid at once, just not localized to one grid like here but yet have access to each other through the hypergrid protocol.

I think this quote from Jim Tarber says what happened though not so much the backstory: The conversations I remember was that the servers were not paid for on time and that Paypal locked the account on their end as a result. The mismanagement was in waiting to the very last moment to make the payment and the internet being out when that moment came. Then when Inworldz management tried to create a new business entity to transfer the grid to, many of the Inworldz creators were not willing to allow the creations they had sold to residents to be transferred to the new grid. That took a lot of the ambition out of trying to resurrect the grid with the work involved in filtering out whatever had not been whitelisted and allowed to be transferred. It would have resulted in many regions being white blobs.

Last thing I heard/read was that she was partnering up with Alex of Aviworlds infamy, but since the article comment where that was stated has since been deleted by Alex, I take that with a bucket of salt. Ps no-one ever really had any idea why Inworldz was costing $17K p/m as grids of comparable size like Osgrid only spend a $1000 p/m in server costs. Nowadays I think most are moving to a self hosted Dreamworldz install.

Sorry, my comment on the moral of the story was not directed at yours per se but at what your post was responding to: According to the linked article, there was at least in this case a reason given for why older temperature data was not included in the graph and though I find the reasoning somewhat questionable in the sense that if they know that the old data was off by 1 degree, why they would not have adjusted the older data with that amount of offset. In the case of other "official" historic temperature data, the amount of adjustment was not always revealed and even included modifying the raw data so that future interested researchers could not look up those old temperatures and reevaluate them in the light of new findings. That leads to people questioning what is being hid and why.

I had a similar incident several years ago when I purchased a new programmable digital thermostat for my mother, to replace her old mercury based analogue one. She too almost immediately started complaining it didn't work right and that she was alternately feeling hot and cold and she was sure it wasn't hot flashes. Being that it was a good quality thermostat from a reputable manufacturer, I was hesitant to blame the unit itself and started testing it to make sure the temperatures displayed were comparable to the old one. That worked out the same but it did seem the furnace took longer to start up then when on the old thermostat, leading us to surmise that the cut in and out temperatures of the new new had a wider variance. The mean temperature was the same but because the cut in temp was lower, she actually was starting to feel cool and because the cut out temp was a bit higher then what it was set for, she started feeling too warm before it cycled off. After some digging around on the thermostat companies website, I discovered that they had programmed the thermostat that way by intent to maximize heating and cooling efficiency with a longer cycle times. The interesting part to me was that though there was a way to change the cut in and out temp's of the thermostat, my mother said not to bother because now that she understood what was happening, she would acclimatize to the new variance, which she did as she hasn't brought it up since. The moral of the story seems to be that when things are explained properly and honestly, people tend to stop assuming conspiracies.

I do not remember hearing or reading anything about greenhouse warming back then but if as you say the articles were 6 times more prevalent then the global cooling ones, it should be easy to trot out a list of them here like I did for the cooling camp.

Admittedly I scanned over it quickly as I was dressing for work and surmised from this quote: "oil and gas generation and migration on very short time scales in many areas globally," she wrote in the journal Sea Technology." That combined with other articles i have read in the past regarding oil production on short time scales led me to think they were on about the same thing. As Luna already pointed out, something like abiogenic oil production could be what they are seeing the wells refill with. Unfortunately I wrote the post in a rush and in hindsight see that I perhaps I came across a little strong in how much validity I think it has. Having said it though, I'll stand behind it and point you to this article which in my opinion gives the idea some good credibility. http://www.devtome.com/abiogenic_theory_of_petroleum

There are several new dendroclimatic studies from both Finland and China that show a similar warming and cooling for those time periods and though that still is not global, the locations are diverse enough to be a pretty good indicator, combined with the fact that the 1930's warming was over 75% of the North American continent. Article (Bjorklund et al., 2020) (Yuan et al., 2020) Keyimu et al. (2020) Looking at your link at Ars Technica it strikes me they very much minimize the magnitude of that 60's 70's cooling period. Even I remember a slew of articles about it in the local paper where I grew up never mind the amount of one's in the New York Times and other big daily's. Here is a list of them along with a 1978 video of a young Steve Schneider warning us what the ramifications would be of the coming Ice age and some of the potential solutions the scientists of those days came up with to possibly alleviate it. List of Articles Steve Schneider

Well maybe that is because oil does not take millions of years but rather decades. Old wells which were pumped dry a few decades ago are now found to have refilled to some degree: https://rense.com/general63/refil.htm

The problem with that graph is that it shows neither the high temperatures prevalent in the 1930's nor the .3C cooling period in the 60's and 70's when we had the great coming Ice age scare that was the scientific consensus at the time. I suppose it pretty easy to fudge data points when the political will is to rewrite history, the only downside being when there are still people alive who remember those time periods.

IPCC though doesn't bring any proof to the table with any scientific papers that prove CO2 causes global warming, unlike these papers for example which disprove it: Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics The Shattered Greenhouse: How Simple Physics Demolishes the "Greenhouse Effect". Human CO2 Emissions Have Little Effect On Atmospheric CO2 Another, simpler proof is to be seen by Nobel Laureate Svante Arrhenius' 1896 paper on the idea of a greenhouse effect from human produced Co2. Though much of that paper was subsequently falsified by his peers, the one thing he mentioned that was never contested was that the Earth's temperature at that time in 1896 was 15 degrees C. If one contrasts that with the Nasa Earth temperature readings in 2013 of 14.6 C, one readily sees that in spite of 50% more ppm of Co2 today then there was in 1896, the overall Earth's temperature has actually dropped by .4 C For some reason the Earth's temperature had dropped from 1896 to mid 20th century which no doubt led to the fears back then that we were headed for another ice age. That was in spite of C02 increases over the same time period.

Maybe Canada's better management was motivated in a large part to Sophie Trudeau contracting the virus early on and forcing Justin himself to start wearing a mask before the medical officials started recommending them. How much did that help to push the provincial premiere's in line with the federal government so there was a more concerted effort nationwide as opposed to the haphazard state support of any Covid efforts in the US?

From what I seen it wasn't that much different in Canada from the political flip flopping that went on in the US. Friends who own businesses in the UK have also mentioned the same thing that the above Covid Restrictions for Business cartoon pokes fun at. The US perhaps had some different dynamics from the protests and riots that were happening there, where thousands of people flaunted any suggestions about social distancing or masking. Though we also had some protests, it was not so "in your face" as it seemed to be south of the border. Had it been, I'm not so sure we Canadians would have been as nice about adhering to the suggested distancing rules either. There has obviously been a "super-spreader event" going on for the USA for months now so that one can hardly slight these motorcycle riders deciding to go ahead with their annual gathering.

I see love in its different manifestations as the principle while the love languages as techniques whereby we give and receive love. To me is seems that love is a feeling that motivates an action which then can in turn further intensify the feeling. Reciprocal
