Your speedometer hits exactly the speed limit and never ticks over that, does it? Never? Never to pass, never with a little latent throttle when cresting a hill, never when a truck's draft eases your drag, never when a speed limit gets reduced? Just a peachy perfect driver, eh? I assume you've actually calibrated your speedometer as well and aren't trusting one of the most well-known inaccurate devices in the world, right?

You have no proof of your exact speed. "Cross my heart, judge, I have never exceeded the speed limit in my life" doesn't work. There's a reason speed readers must be calibrated and a tolerance zone must be excluded. You clearly don't know the first thing about metrology.

Inner thoughts of the Nostromo crew upon finding out Ash was a corporate android that doomed them all in Alien (1979)

Do you remember exactly what your speedometer said 12 days, 6 hours, 14 minutes, and 44 seconds ago? How do you plan to fight the ticket, tell them it's too close to call and hope they agree?

Ooo just came across this one after revisiting the prior one. Agreed, much improvement. I went through comments first to see what feedback was provided already. I have to agree here, there's a sort of slimy quality to the water. Water has pretty low cohesion, so the swatch over here nose seems a bit wide and the runoff from her chin has a bit too much of a tail. I could see it being from a sudden water balloon burst, though, where the shear volume of unstable water ignores surface tension limits for a moment. But some things to point to during more study is how different fluids behave between differences in surface tension, adhesion to surfaces, cohesion to itself, and viscosity. Alcohol is low in 3, high in adhesion. Water is close. Syrup is in the middle/other end. Hocked phlegm is the other end.

The context of the scene adds some confusion for me as well. Where did the water come from? Seems like it's a tropical beach on a sunny day. If she popped up from the water, the water lingered a little too long. If it's raining, there's no raindrops. If she's a mermaid that shot out of the sea, there could be more water flying off to show the motion.

But again, my buddy, I love the continued work and contribution to the community. I genuinely continue to enjoy your green grim reaper as it continues to rotate through my backgrounds. Please, continue.

"Gaysoupsnake" sounds messy but hot

Upon some self-reflecting, literally, this bead formation is closer to sweat production IMO. But every time I come back, I still think it's excellent overall. Very striking in pose, expression, and color selection

Blurry deliberations are typical. As time goes on, "millennial" will become more accurate as the differences between xennial and zillennial become smaller and smaller in comparison to differences between _ennial and alpha or beta or delta. I just take issue with acting like direct url interface was the experience of a generation, and not a short-lived blip for the gen pop that has already been forgotten, especially as full url purpose has shifted to something arguably evil.

Sample the people around you in real life. They don't know any better, regardless of age. The group that experienced it has already largely forgotten it because the link purpose got obfuscated and the need became obsolete in everyday use

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I don't see how it's a generational thing. I remember when every link included the page type at the end, meaning there was nothing that could be truncated. If you don't know what si stands for or don't know that anything after a ? Is tracking bullshit, then you simply don't know. It's a "knowledgeable person" thing that can be learned at any time. I've pointed it out and many people I know still don't care

The rock because in dirty for what I did to one like it. I took it from a gorgeous beach and lost it the next day, dooming it to suburban hell somewhere when it fell out of an unzipped pouch.

Or it escaped.

Throwing in my incompetent 2 cents: the hair looks good and helps. But for the drops themselves, maybe there's too many, they're too unaligned with gravity, and too spherical/uniform. I'm not inclined to do an acne commercial demo right now, but I feel like not much water forms in droplets before skin gets moistened and breaks the beading ability. Sorta like you need more subtle streaks and fewer droplets. The light refraction should also be asymmetrical. I guess lighter on the bottoms, but not sure

But as discussed many times before, your ability is far above what I possess so this is all meant as constructive postulations. I really enjoy the overall coloring and shading

Milky Way IPA, because we already named a bunch of hops after space names

It's certainly a topic of interest to me, but I'd like to avoid the "spaceship pyramid" levels of conspiracy and the meatless text-to-speech summaries that will inevitably appear in my suggested feed(s). I thought I'd find it by now, given my feed has plenty of planes. I know it's a distraction, but I may as well be entertained while I continue waiting for the yanks to release the real files we're asking for.

I'm afraid AI has surpassed me, as I still can't draw hands. Seriously though, I miss doodling all through school. I don't know where that free creativity has gone, but I'm working to bring it back. Some early jobs left me in a dark rut, but I've settled into a decent job, a career even, and feel a certain mental calm and freedom trickling in.

I was aiming for something resembling a pose often struck by St Michael in depictions of him defeating demons. I don't have a goal for the actual identity of the figure, nor what they're doing. Ultimately, I want it to be triumphing over something. The end goal is to explore ideas for a tattoo. It already worked beautifully once, where I took a crude drawing to an artist with a style I liked, then watched them bring it to life with more talent and their own flair. I picked the elements, laid the composure, and outsourced the details to an amazing artist. What better meaning to a tattoo than "I basically made this"? With any luck, lightning will strike twice... Or more.
