Like grass between your thumbs, it buzzes while you sail ass over head

I'm often reminded of my Geo Tracker and think "I can fix him". It just wasn't the right time to have a rusted-out, holey-framed, bad-on-the-highway vehicle with basically neither cargo nor passenger capacity. But there's something special and forgotten about having a Miata-length vehicle of any kind.

The best years for music are [birthyear + 12] until maaaybe [birthyear + 18] but I'd certainly listen to your points about extending that up to [birthyear + 25] because that's when [band #5] came from behind and pulled to the lead after [band #2] and [band #4] broke up. Glad to hear you had the same experience

Music certainly does. Probably the main emotional cause, followed by staying out too late while stargazing and getting spooked by casual bumps in the night.

A good scream or a sustained wail will do it. Do you like metal? Lacuna Coil - Sleep Paralysis comes to mind.

I want to clarify that I'm straight up accepting the physiology and, separately, wanted to spread the bat explanation!

10/10 would be tricked, just to see how the wings attach.

General reminder that bats, being mammals, have similar bone layout to other mammals, including humans. The wings are arms, the ribs are fingers. Bats fly by the power of vigorous jazz hands

Wheel coverings are required with a maximum exposure limit. The body usually does the job. Look to the 2022 Jag F-type and F-pace for little spats in the upper rear of the rear wheel arch for hidden compliancy.

Those are made up shapes, too.

No different than Lady Gaga's method which I feel took off a little sooner. The pop funds the art. I appreciate Swift's singing ability, but I enjoy Gaga's range when she makes her actual music. The theatrics, peaking with the meat suit? Just marketing to make her name the name to invite.

I can't think of ever buying something very expensive in raw monies, but I did once pay £2 for an olive. An £8 plate for 4 kalamata olives split 4 ways. They were ricotta stuffed and fried. It was exceptionally tasty, but we did not expect such a wild price ratio for an otherwise affordable place.

"Yes, but have you considered the fact that she is a woman, women enjoy her music, and women enjoying things is a problem because they're wrong? It's like you don't even have a vendetta against pumpkin spice! " - general underlying factor

"her music is not deep" - the opinion of men whose only exposure to her music is the pop songs that gets airtime, not the lyrical depths of the rest of the album that directly hits women in the feels

They're rare. When you see many identical houses in a neighborhood, it means one contractor developed the whole group. Usually through deforestation to expand the suburbs. They are still fabricated on site, not delivered/assembled

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.
