Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Well, you better start then!

Just don't make videos of you cheating.

@NintendoByNature I made the mistake of coming hungry as I didn't have much of a lunch. If I'd known supper was gonna be later than I thought (they opened the full buffet line around seven), I would have grazed on something at home first. XD

@ThanosReXXX I agree on the paint job. Oh well. Hopefully they keep that consideration in mind for the next time they repaint the statue.

The town itself is somewhat small by some standards, and I've seen jokes elsewhere where it would fit the Smallville name more. Granted, if my town was referenced in some way by a popular comic franchise, I'd go crazy with the marketing too. XD

There will DEFINITELY be some photos. We'll also see what I can get away with in the museum. Most formal museum settings don't at least allow flash photographs, if at all. Some less formal settings allow it. We'll see.

My first Fortnite video will be called "Top 10 Fortnite skin ideas "borrowed" from Overwatch". I'll also post my creator code all over the video.

@SheldonRandoms You’re well on your way to being an influencer.

I grilled a whole bird for dinner. It’s so tender, can’t wait to make chicken mayo sandwiches with leftovers. Now I’m debating between pokeymans or slightly more toxic West Virginia this evening

@SheldonRandoms and don't forget to smash the like button

@Tyranexx It's actually funny that the older paint job is more fitting for the current, movie version of Superman, because of the metallic sheen on the suit, and it also brings out the features a lot better.

But maybe, or probably, it will look better in real life, so I guess you'll at least find out. Or maybe you can take better pictures of it...

As for pictures in the museum: often times, it's either paintings, documents or photos that are restricted, because of the supposed "damage" that flash light photography could do, but nowadays, flash lights are obviously much more modern, and more efficient, and not nearly as damaging as the old style flash lights.

And then there's the options for the museums themselves, to either put objects behind specially treated glass, or some type of coating, so there's actually no real valid reason to not let people take photos of it.

Well, unless of course it's a small(ville) museum without a big enough budget to take all these precautions...

Here's a new pic of catkins, now that she feels like posing.

@Eel That's one cute kitty, for sure.

Eurgh. We have a ton of the cold white stuff falling here right now. I don't mind the amount it's at right now, but it's gonna build up with a few hours of respite tonight and tomorrow. The next couple of days will be fun to drive around in.

@ThanosReXXX Hah! We'll see what I can pull off with a smartphone camera. It'll also depend a little on the sky itself; cloudy settings make for better photos in my book. Sunlight causes some unwanted glare sometimes.

I wouldn't think most of the objects in the museum would be subject to what I call "fade" rules as you've accurately described, but time will tell.

@Eel Good grief is that young kitten cute.

@Tyranexx interesting. It's just cold up here. No white stuff for us. Usually we get it before you do ( I believe).

@NintendoByNature That usually seems to be the case. We're just lucky this time, I guess. XD I don't think it's gonna stick around long enough for a white Christmas though.

@Tyranexx for sure. Its so up and down I wouldn't count on it.

@Tyranexx No snow here either yet. Just cold, cold wind and rain...

As for the museum: they could of course own some mint condition posters, collectible cards, comics, or perhaps some newspaper snippets with comics in them, and these would obviously be sensitive to over-exposure. Could even be board games or anything else made from paper and ink or any other kind of non-weather resistant coloring.

@ThanosReXXX @Tyranexx she is quite photogenic

Also she is completely ok with wearing clothes. That's new for me.

@Eel Well, that's one thing that's just not up my street. Animals shouldn't be wearing clothes, except for a leash, and for little dogs maybe something to keep them warm in the colder season, but not as a general purpose accessory. It always makes me think of dress up dolls, and that's not what animals are for.

And most cats that are dressed in whatever type of clothing, tend to topple/roll over or even fall, because it messes with their equilibrium. And even though shoes on cats and dogs can look comical in home videos, I really don't like those either.

She's very small, and it's winter.

I'm glad she's fine with the clothes, keeps her that tiny by warmer when she's by herself. (After all, she's a cat, and doesn't really like extended cuddling sessions with the dogs)

Of course, had her reaction been a bad one, I would have removed the sweater immediately.

@Eel Well, there's always the option to keep her indoors, where she'll probably have a nice, warm, cozy basket of some sort...

EDIT:
Ah, missed your edit. Fair enough, then.

My dad is absolutely against having pets inside the house. Unreasonably so. He gets very dramatic.

@Eel Well, then I hope that winter isn't going to be too harsh on your side of the globe, because no cat or even the relatively more sturdy dog should have to endure that type of outdoor living for prolonged periods of time.

Our winter is probably like your late spring.

It rarely goes below ~7°c, much less in the negatives.
