“User Interface”? You mean clicking randomly on the ⁝ and ☰ and ⚙️ buttons trying to figure out what's in each one?

Anyone else here consistently refer to Krazy Glue as "the Kragl"?

the JWST is just spoiling us

in a few weeks the headlines will be like "NASA CLOSE TO CONFIRMING PROOF OF DARK MATTER"

next week will be "DARK MATTER MAY HAVE HIVEMIND INTELLIGENCE"

week after that "DARK MATTER'S NAME IS KEVIN, HE'S A LIBRA, AND HE THINKS YOU'RE A PRICK"

Images, fantasy humans/humanoids, eye contact 

No new pencils today, were all inks. Two ghouls, a noble warrior and a semi-feral; a selection of rogues; mounted wizard with a companion/apprentice and a batch of wizard portraits.

"Ultrafast cold-brewing of coffee by picosecond-pulsed laser extraction"

"A super-embarrassing moment for JK Rowling: entire set of her first edition, autographed Harry Potter books went unsold at Christie's auction house."

Hey, the nice thing you're not doing because you'd feel guilty because stuff is undone, or it serves no purpose other than making you happy, or it isn't furthering a goal

You should do it :flan_flowers:

The ninth annual international Gender Census 2022 is now open until 13th August 2022!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

non-binary culture is never remembering the order of the colors of the flag

And yes, despite my best efforts, it did export the thing at 1999×1600. Nudging the scale factor from 13.33% to 13.34% resulted in a size of 2001×1601, which can then be trimmed down in "Canvas Size"... with no control over which row and column of pixels will be cropped off.

"Shoo!" I said firmly, shaking the bristles in what I hoped was the correct direction.

my observation of my own brain is that I have to be able to finish something in two weeks before I lose interest forever. each unfinished project is just an opportunity to learn speedrun strats for next time

there should be no guilt in unfinished projects. you can always go back to finish it later. and even if you never do, it was still good practice for the next project!

Image, humans, eye contact kinda, injury depicted but not graphic. 

today, fantasy swashbuckling all the way up the stairs, ha ha! Fantasy means I can do a mix of period stuff. Like maybe the Scottish looking guys are city guards or something.

It's time for my favorite pointer-has-been-an-hourglass-for-a-while-now game: "Slow, Broken, or Waiting for Network?"

Getting surprisingly good response to referring to That 70s Computer Typeface as 'Check Routing Number Gothic'.
