I appreciate the effort you put into your projects, I really do. And it is probably hard to quit doing it once you're already in the flow…
But Clipstudio has a feature to automate this on the caveat that you name the layers.

I'm not sure if I'm on the right path, but: Steam discontinued support for 32bit Version of Win10.
Could you check your "System Type".
"Win" + "R", then type "msinfo32"
Also if you have compatibility enabled then check that no 32bit mode is enabled.

I'm gonna propose something lame:
easy hand gesture that generates an air current comparable to lightly blowing through your lips.
easy to learn with small utility:
- cooling off hot food/drinks
- weak pocket ventilator
- removing crumbs from table/clothing without getting your hand dirty

Yep, really interesting piece about Sparrow and all, but can we circle back to Revenants pet?

Does he collect specific spiders or did he one day stumble on a box in his place that contained spiders? How big is the box and more importantly how big are the spiders? Does he feed them?

my husband just sent me this

tumblr user nitewrighter says:
Me: I don’t get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I’m like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it’s the fascism. You’re completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you’re also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you’re going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

"We here in DOGE have investigated and found that using messenger from a private company poses a security risk.

That's why I am glad to announce that the US Government is now partnering with X (the everything app)
Mr Musk already retrofitted the messenger function for our needs."

I apologize for my poor attempt at a comeback.
In my hubris I overestimated my sense of humor and underestimated yours.
Well time for me to hit the hay. Night Night.

In the EU this is already underway. The directive has been issued in March 2024 and will bind in March 2026.
It is based on the law that France already had.

4-panel comic by War and Peas: Panel 1: A person in a red hoodie angrily approaches the Grim Reaper, yelling, "Hey, you! Asshole!" Panel 2: The person punches the Grim Reaper in the face, shouting, "This is for Grandma!" with a loud POW! Panel 3: The Grim Reaper’s cloak opens up, revealing ghostly spirits inside. One of them, an elderly woman, waves and says, "Hey, Stevie!" The person, shocked, replies, "Grandma!?" The grandma continues cheerfully, "I’m having quite a lot of fun in here." Panel 4: The grandma, now surrounded by other ghostly figures, happily adds, "We’re all naked here, Stevie." The person recoils in horror, exclaiming, "GRANDMA NOOO!"

Holy moly. I'm trying to write an academic paper, and nearly every application I'm using is not only offering Generative AI as an option for writing, but *pushing it* -- pervading the design to the point where a simple misclick would make my content AI-generated. Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

That is a cool comparison, but planes are for long range while subways are for short distances.

There is an untapped market that has the throughput of a subway and the travel distance of a plane.

Somebody should get on that.
