I think I'm gonna back off of Blender and try using Natron. It's just a compositor, but I think that's going to be good enough for not.
Ultimately, I'd like to build (or find a blender guy to build) a 3d version of the turkeymonkey avatar I use here, maybe with flapping wings, so I can composite that into my intro...

It's much better than it used to be.
In the original versions, the creators went out of their way to make it non-Windows-ish. Almost nothing worked the way almost everything else in the software world did.

Oh. You mean you can't handle that every key on the keyboard does at least 4 different things depending on which mode you're in?

How about three different menu bars, multiple buttons that have the same freakin icon, right-click to select items (you can invert that in the interface options) space bar to call up the context menu (that isn't really a context menu) that doesn't have corollary items in the main menu bar...
I could go on, but at some point my brain shuts down and refuses to accept any of it.

Use their 2.8 Beta - they have addressed the worst of the right/left mouse button issues and much of the interface. Says beta, but has been stable as heck - Blender foundation used it exclusively to create their new short.

Are you interested to try Blender with Apple.
To be clear I am talking about OS here, not fruit!

It sounded delicious. Baked apples, I assume?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I don't have an Apple, so no, not interested in that.

... CP is having a hard time restarting the servers: Hand crank start - YouTube[^]
The video clearly shows Kent-Sharkey controlling the scene from the server room, while the unknown guy is working hard.

When I was at Uni, I had a best friend called Mike who bought a very old second hand car (so old, it had a valve radio: I kid you not, it took two minutes to heat up to the point it could receive any station). The starter was indeed a handle, which was no problem until he stalled it in stop-start traffic.
Passing me the starter handle and telling me to be "discrete" and "unobtrusive" so nobody would notice was not the wisest move he ever made.
(But better than his decision not use a condom - AIDS got him before he was 25, poor chap.)

my first car had a starter handle.
too poor to buy a new battery... (petrol, beer and cigs were damn cheap though)
got 2 maybe 3 tries with the electrical starter
- sure to fail if your tongue was in the wrong place.
after that it was the starter handle, bloody hard and hell of a kickback if not turned full round
- one could lose their tongue if it was in the wrong place.

Also very important to keep your thumb out of the way: make a "U" not an "O" with your hand or the kickback can break your thumb. (You get the same advice about how to hold the steering wheel when driving off-road, and for the same reason.)

I spent a couple of year on a sheep station in the early 70s. Power was a diesel generator, you learn bloody quickly to make a U when the kickback will toss you across the room (at 16 I was a skinny little runt).

Can you not adjust the hit rate?

Please note the stand named 'Java'. Should the next one not be 'ASIC' or 'Script', instead of 'asses'?

I'm working on the laptop from hell again and have discovered yet another issue working with offline files. ASP.Net under vs 2010 and 2017 refuse to keep session variables when the project is run from it's normal location, on a mapped drive made available offline. Copy the project over to a local drive and it works fine. 
Other weirdness abounds. Other .Net projects/apps are also failing with generic SocketExceptions when run from the offline folder but work perfectly from a local drive. I first noticed this behavior with my home-rolled ftp utility several month ago but just moved it to an external drive that travels with me.
I've been working with offline/synchronized folders for almost 20 years and this behavior is either new to Win10 or I have some other problem(s) with this laptop.
Regarding this laptop, I call it the laptop from hell due to the fact that it acts possessed sometimes:
0: when trying to login, the login box goes black (loses focus) while I'm typing, sometimes 3-4 times before I'm able to get my password in.
1: at random times, sometimes 4-5 times a minute and sometimes never, the big, ugly winten menu pops up and the cursor has moved to the bottom left...makes it difficult to write code sometimes!
2: typing in a browser is painful as the it tends to skip letters quit oftn. 
Yes, the touchpad is disabled. It's touchscreen, but that's disabled as well. It's about 4 years old now, so it might be time for a spring cleaning, exorcism, reinstall everything. Other than that, it's a pretty good laptop and I should be able to get a few more years out of it.

The keyboard and/or video problems are definitely driver related.
The .NET stuff is pretty much obsolete anyway so why worry about it
