"808 drum?" Figures. That's an artificial drum MACHINE. One of the first, and most fake-sounding rhythm boxes, meant to replace a human drummer. He's fully embracing his servitude to his new machine overlords.

If nobody wants to watch it, does it, though?

I literally have not encountered one, single person who is actually looking forward to seeing that.

This is what Netflix thinks is a great use of money? And Sony... why?

But the great thing about Perspective Shift is that his whole world is changing, so you can pretend changes in the artwork are all part of the plan. It's one of those "Centaur World" situations, maybe in reverse.

wot.

Videos I've seen suggest that Vulkan even improves start-up time, once it's enabled.

Birthday wish when I'm 62: Hope I can get through another day without injuring myself.

Yeah, that's not, strictly speaking, a repost. That's straight-up theft of art. I mean, I skip over accounts that are nothing but reposts, but those, at least, increase the reach of the original poster.

Even odder is that they DATED THE NOTE. What kind of psycho DOES that?

Do you live alone? Any other suspects who might have been jerks to a neighbor?

I LOVE that story, and the real relationships and depth of character development. Some people just want wank material, and it's sad that their fanatacism means that's all anybody can afford to make.

I just wanted to buy something. Do really HAVE to prop up your ego and give you emotional validation in order to do that? It's bad enough that I had to add a username and password to the 175 that I already have, now you want me to tell you I love you? Too much pressure!

Yes, in fact, we are twelve. 🤣

Like sweat off a flamingo's back.
(I don't think that phrase is going to catch on.)

Oh, and CTRL-Z doesn't undo SETTING CHANGES, silly boy!

But you kinda need nekkid folks for that. Tough to be a furry/feathery artist. Sweaty fur just looks... damp.

Cigarettes are "kinda bad" but you can still buy them with a credit card. Alcohol is "kinda bad" but you can still buy it with a credit card. Prostitution doesn't kill 658,000 Americans every year like smokes and booze do.

A lot of bod sweat signaling is not the droplets, but the glossy, plastic sheen and highlights that make a surface look slick. Flamingo sweat is always gonna be problematic, artistically. Beak sweat, especially.

The distinction between "Nudity" and "Adult" is highly subjective. I pretty much only use "Adult" anymore, because I've had them change my labelling on pictures with non-sexual nudity.

I have to admit, it kind of bemuses me when someone makes a career out of, for example, nothing but 3d background art. It was probably the same in the animation industry. I've known people who did nothing but effects—smoke, fire, waves, clouds, etc.

It took months to train that guy for the heist.

It's often the drawings I least expect that get the most attention, and the ones I've poured my heart into get barely a glance.

Mockingbirds are crazy, and really aggressive bug hunters. He probably saw a bug on the side of your house.

My wife keeps telling me I should just shave my head. There's hardly enough to be worth styling. My brother decided to keep his look after his CAR-T treatment, and it actually looks really good on him.

They do take over, don't they?

Doug was always an inspiration to me, not just in his art, but in his good-natured humility, and his generosity with his art and ideas. Some chan board once said I made Doug Winger look like Sanrio, but that's just idiocy. Still, felt flattering to even be in someone's thoughts next to Doug.

Needs the air-conditioning module installed.

Case 210B backhoe, old and rusty

Although, looking at my brother's Case 210, they did run a lot of the hardlines inside the backhoe boom, probably to keep them from getting bashed.

Like I was saying, hydraulic hoses are only a LITTLE more bendy than broomsticks. You could club seals with them. One thing that always made equipment like you're modelling look "cool" to me was the parallel hard-lines running over the surface, going to each of the cylinders (and motors, for rotary)

Hydraulic hoses have a lot of steel in them. They're REALLY stiff. When I'm using my front-end loader, you can't tell which lines are under pressure. They might shift SLIGHTLY as they go under pressure, but it's not a floppy/rigid transition, even for the long hoses leading up to the joystick.
