Amentep Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 John Horne's A Year in Fiji indicates there were some form of firefly there in ~1876. Now, or not, I dunno. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Lexx Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Damn, that's too uncertain. I had the idea of adding glowbugs to a scene of my current project, but if there is a chance for it to be complete BS, I'd rather not do it.

LadyCrimson Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Went to the pet store to buy a ginormous bag o' cat litter, came home with a new sound bar w/blutooth woofer for the TV. Because BestBuy is next door to the pet store. Our 6 year old soundbar had no woofer, the remote was barely working, and it often makes an annoying transformer-hum sound if the volume is too loud so it was time. I also looked at Samsung 8" tablets, the high-res ones look good image wise but $400-$500? I'll stick to the slight crack in the screen Galaxy5 freebie phone hubby tossed me as my home-wi-fi tablet. Sometimes it feels like the older I get, despite having more and more $$, the cheaper I get regarding "tech-toys." Except a desktop PC. I'll still go quite far out for one of those. “Things are as they are.

Malcador Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Seems most of the toys don't merit the price, or at least to me alone. Noticed that when phone shopping. I kind of want a tablet I can use to more comfortably slack off at work with, but can't really project that much use to warrant the cost. Might get a laptop, buddy has a 50% discount code at Lenovo. :D Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Lexx Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I'd like to have a new tablet too, but hell, I only use it for listening to music with headphones and ocasionally browsing the web in bed when being lazy. I don't feel like shelling out $500 for that. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
