2021 Coffee Shop and Gardens

[parkdalegardener]

Break out the c&C. I'm back from the grocery and it's time to check out the final implementation of Geometry Nodes in Blender. Reminds me entirely too much of VRML. I hated VRML. Now, an integrated asset management system is something else all together. Depending upon how that changes my workflow, Blender may take a more staring role in my creative endeavors.

Aelin, my weather has been so erratic over the last couple of days that the only thing I can guarantee is that there is indeed weather; and that is about as reliable as it gets.

I've been in here for a while now but forgot to visit the coffee shop.  I'm on my fourth cup of coffee already LOLOL.  We got COLD COLD AND FOG which equals ICY roads...I have no place to go so all is good.

Have fun shopping PDG....Nowadays it's an adventure...just seeing if what you need is on the shelves....

And thanks for the Reminder about Poser and Blender...Got the E Mail about the updates but filed it for a later date....I guess this is the later date LOL....

I'll work on getting you a cool sig McG....

And THANKS for the Fafnir.....Better get a couple more pots going...it's going to be a LONG day.... Ahhhhhh

Good Morning to you Aelin....Glad all turned out good for the kitty...Now you can rest easy....

You're ahead of me, TL.  I'm just one number three.  Now that you mention it, my cup DOES seem to be empty.

How annoying and boring starting on the 9th you are now signed up for two step sign in on your gmail account whether you want to or not ... good grief you now have to have your phone next to you just to sign in to your account.

What the hell do you do to check your mail on the phone then ????

This is starting to become frelling ridiculous ... next thing they're going to want a blood sample, a stool sample and a semen sample ... where the hell will it stop

I understand security but by all that is holy ...

I believe they're trying to attack the problem of stolen passwords.   Having a "physical" second factor is intended to address that.  I haven't looked at Google's (yet) but the two-factor-auth that we use at work has a way to remember you logged in for a fairly long period.

[thelufias]

I do that for everything.  Phone, Internet, FB, any accounts I have to go into.  Better safe then sorry.  Only takes once for someone to become "YOU" and your screwed...and will have to spend years undoing what was done.  Takes one minute more to get a verification....

Like I mentioned I understand the logic behind it.

It is just annoying to have to have the phone tied off as an umbilical to you even more then some of the zombie's already do

... and do not bother to talk about a simple stolen password, I still have to file a PIN number to do my taxes, due to having a fraudulent tax return filed in my name.

And before you try to tie that together just stop, remember I was in bankruptcy and those records were on file in the court system

I have no phone, so if they let me one more time enter in my gmail, I guess it's bye bye to them. But already they block me when they decide "they don't know that machine", so...
And I know people who will never enter their phone to please to google. Even one people in security that I know who said to never give such infos.

As I always say "J"....to each their own....  I weigh which "Pain in the ass" is worse and go from their....and Aelin...I totally agree with you.  My Mother never had a cell phone and had a tough time when everyplace she went required a code.  They'd send it to her via E-Mail which she could get off the computer...but wouldn't remember how to get back to where she was to put in in...
