Es ist anstrengend und nervig (und entmenschlicht).

I'm a beginner in programming, and I found out I cannot even reproduce a simple number guessing program I have earlier copied from a book.

Is it a beginner issue, or there is more than just continuing to learn to be able to code without hints?

This commercial clip has endless possibilites 😂

Here the snippet of just the boy, enjoy.

According to Iran’s state news agency IRNA, the IRGC said in a statement that the region’s energy exports would be “either for everyone or for no one”.

Analysts told Reuters that Iran was signalling it could rely on its Houthi allies in Yemen to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the strategic waterway leading to the Red Sea. Such a move could open a new front against Washington and threaten two of the world’s most important energy shipping routes.

The Bab al-Mandab Strait links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and is a key route for Saudi oil exports and a significant share of global maritime trade.

Of course the bard takes the credit for a successful social check. Our rogue doesn't seem to mind.

What's going on here?

• Tamilda is an orphan teen who was, for a time, part of Singing Cricket's adventuring party.
  • She and the rest of the cast are attending the wedding of a changeling, the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby, whom they recently discovered and befriended. (The poor changeling has her own problems, which will probably get addressed soon.)
  • Tamilda has had a few story arcs in the series, and has recently started discovering some things about herself.
• Tamilda had a very awkward introduction to Maki, but they quickly became friends.
• Tobias, the bartender, is not having a good day.
• The wedding day story starts a few episodes back. A lot of storylines have split off at this wedding and will eventually come together.

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/adventure/occasionally horror story. It's on Webtoon and other platforms. Also r/LoveAndHex. ^(And Patreon if you like early releases and extra stuff. Or get the book!)

More than one million Germans have installed affordable plug-in balcony solar panels, turning apartments into small-scale clean energy producers. Costing around $235, these easy-to-use systems are helping households cut electricity bills while accelerating Germany’s transition to renewable energy.

It sure seems like many people on the far left throw the term “establishment” around when they’d rather be using the n word instead

The rich and famous who filed into the Kennedy Center’s opera house in December were there to enjoy one of the nation’s most exclusive celebrations of the performing arts: the center’s annual honors gala.

The black-tie event, hosted by President Donald Trump, prioritized tickets to people who donated more than $75,000 to the center. This year, it feted Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone, the legendary glam rock band Kiss and the Grammy Award-winning disco pioneer Gloria Gaynor.

Among the attendees that evening were two lower-profile government officials whose regulatory decisions had been crucial to the future of the gala’s broadcast sponsor, CBS, and its parent company, Paramount.

Can't lie, I love the look of this machine

I received a record amount of feedback on my last attempt to paint water on skin. Thank you all! The biggest mistake I made was I was trying to paint water on a waxed surface like a car on skin.

I learned a long time ago light reacts with skin very different than hard surfaces. Only makes sense water would do the same. And several of you pointed that out. It also explains why I couldn't find any famous artists who painted what I was looking for. Because skin isn't car!

Oops.

How did I do this time?

Edit: There is supposed to be a small waterfall off screen to her left. The actual model was in the shower as a wet skin reference. I didn't want to paint someone in the shower. And people in waterfall scenes mostly focus on the waterfall! So I adapted this one.
