Apparently Thea's been busy in my area -

DoorDash messed up my order (catfish + shrimp instead of catfish... I'm deathly allergic to shellfish, so cross-contamination means no dinner for me - protein bar... yay?)
Went through the maze of their site to complain... got a form email "Thanks for your feedback. We'll use it to improve our services." Fucking cunts.

My car's hatchback was left open in the garage some time yesterday, so now the battery is completely flat. Silly me, I closed the back (manually) before calling my kid for a jump - they don't have cables, and the ones I have are in the storage compartment in the back under the floor - requires opening the hatchback... which I can't do with no power. *needs a facepalm emoji*

For an issue like that, you need to call the store directly, at the very least they owe you a free meal.

I did, but the way DoorDash works - you order online, it goes through DoorDash, they call the order in to the restaurant - they called in the wrong order. I'm never using them again. I'll just go back to dealing with traffic and picking it up myself, assuming I haven't run my battery flat :-/

I'll call for a jump in the morning and drive around for a bit, she'll be charged right back up. :)

I hope you left it open yourself.
But if this happens again (especially during cold or wet weather): This is something that happened on my moms' Nissan Micra as well, and several garages went over the ENTIRE car looking for electronic leaks, bad software, bad motherboards and whatnot, but it was *just* the tiny electronic switch component of the lock itself that had to be replaced. It's not an exactly common problem, but it is a component on Nissans that seems a bit more prone to wear out than the rest of the electronics. Cheapest bet is going to a garage that is NOT a Nissan dealer, so they're not required to follow standard guidelines for finding problems with the car, and can just unplug the whole lock (so the hatchback won't work and stays locked) for a while to see whether it happens again. If it doesn't happen anymore, then just have it replaced (~$80 at the garage, $30 if to DIY).

Better off with an internal SSD for a game like that.

Not sure , since not tried it yet, but with an external SSD drive with a new USD 3.2 connection you should hardly be able to notice the difference. Well still room for another internal SSD drive on motherboard for new computer so will be a while before I try it.:p Do have to say though that current generation of SSD drives are very affordable and the performance is insanely better.

Oh you saw the poor SP earlier?

Just in case you were worried she was lonely

Does she not also remind you a little of Vampy or am I just misremebering?

That must be it, well that might also be a spoiler about Thea though. :p
The cannon explanation for this is that no doubt the guy who wrote the fanfic has a Thea crush and so thought "why not!"

The real explanation is, since the Thea model won't be used again and since some of you were rather keen on her, it's a little fan service nod.

But, to be totes clear, there's no plot reason for this. I really only used her for this (with diffo hair etc) as you seemed to like the model and the SP book is only a one off :)

There is a lot going on in Four for sure. A lot :)

Just got to get the renders out.... :)
Take your time, just make sure you are happy with them, we can wait a little longer as needed. I remember a documentary about Rembrandt not that long ago where one of the specialists on him said that besides his technical skill and eye his biggest talent was that he knew when a painting was finished and told what he wanted the paining to tell. Unfortunately his clients did not always agree. :p
