Cool!

I took only one med elective at uni but it was musculoskeletal anatomy (1001). I missed out on nerves and circulatory system, I think that was 1002. That’s ok I guess.

Well then, I’m that opportunity - I don’t get why this hairstyle prompts that comment. Hint: ( ^I don’t know much about the brachial plexus^ )

Wait, weevils fuck on people’s faces?

Pirate zbrush and try Nomad. I don’t have a tablet so I never gave it a go.

As for Zbrush, Maxon has done absolutely nothing of value to it since its acquisition. I purchased the perpetual license when it was still Pixologic and that’s what I keep using. I hear from industry professionals that I don’t miss out on absolutely anything new at all.

Evangelists, ugh

The Patagonia jacket is the best match although it’s obviously very different. I’m disappointed no helmets in the suggestions. I was looking forward to rocking my astronaut look this season

Why is AI reviewing papers to begin with is what I don’t understand but I also don’t understand an awful lot of things

Yes especially when you take into account the amount of people who can barely speak the official language of the country who are seeking a driver’s license. You don’t know their cultural backgrounds, their experiences or expectations. When you are explaining a set of rules, it helps to be consistent and thorough. It also prevents people who fail a test to sue or complain against the organism saying they were never informed.

Source: I am an immigrant that got a drivers license in a country with this type of left turning. I don’t know if things are still the same, but when I did my training and test, nobody forced me to watch or read stuff. I was free to choose how many times I wanted to watch or read a resource.

Dark… Probably the darkest humor I’ve seen on Lemmy

But 2-3 car lengths? It really bugs me when they do it in a left turn lane causing a back up to the travel lane resulting in overall congestion.

This reminds me of one time I witnessed instant karma. I was driving behind someone doing this in crawling-slow heavy traffic, and got to one of those large intersections with such lanes. Here in Australia they’re right turn lanes, though that’s irrelevant for the story I wanted to share.

So right in front of me there was this car with at least four guys in it, loud music, and an imbecile on the wheel. I got stuck behind him on a single lane road with no means to overtake. He was driving somewhat below the speed limit for no apparent reason and leaving a massive gap before the next car in front. He still left a large gap when we both merged on a crowded multi lane road, and he kept that 3 car spaced gap at every red light stop. He would lag several seconds before starting to move, obviously not paying attention. I honked a couple times to nudge him.

One of those irritating assholes I guess.

Now, somewhere behind me on the lane to the left there was some other guy with a red convertible and an attitude that screamed “YES I’M OVERCOMPENSATING”.

We got to the intersection where the turn only lanes appeared, and the idiot in front of me was once again holding traffic as he lagged to resume driving. But the lane on my left, which continued straight, moved just enough to let the red convertible guy right beside the idiot. And then all of a sudden the convertible revved and zoomed right in front and across the idiot, cutting him off and overtaking him on the turn only lane, sliding right in that annoying massive gap he was leaving.

That was the only time in my life I celebrated such a douchebag move. The slow idiot went insane. Started yelling at the convertible, gave him the finger. The convertible was the last car able to turn on that change of lights so the idiot and everyone behind had to wait yet again for green, but I wasn’t mad. Watching the car in front of me shake with rage until the lights changed again made up for it. He didn’t lag once they went green again.

This is true however often I only have a mug and a spoon or something like that which I don’t want to leave dirty in the dishwasher untill it fills, because bugs or whatever reason. Manual wash, it’s done in one minute

I agree it’s highly unlikely. However, I’ve been rear-ended once, and my car got pushed forward the space of at least another car and a half, in spite of my panicked reflex of pressing the brakes as it happened. I didn’t crash into anything because I was first on the lane, I got pushed into the intersection.

So yes, you can get rear-ended and the gap in front of you will save you in money and insurance claims bs time if you don’t hit anyone in front as well as a result. It will make little difference regarding your ability to switch lanes though.

In saying that, I don’t leave this massive space in front of me. I stick to the “see the next car’s tyres” rule and if traffic is really packed (as during rush hour, when everyone crawls start stop) I sometimes reduce it to curb parking distance.

Or crosswalks, or bicycles

Thanks! Yes, I was wondering where would be a good place to start for absolute noobs, thanks for the tip. Investing is a mystery in my life I’ve been conditioned not to try to understand, perhaps it’s time to do something about it.

How do you know how to invest? Asking for a friend.

The roo is good and I would have it more often if not for the price tag.

The ants and mealworms were pan fried, sauteed I guess. They were good. Ants were like a zesty citrus crumb and mealworms were sort of like popcorn.

Not many, I’ve had crickets, ants, mealworms, venison, kangaroo, I think that’s it for unusual. Not sure if things like duck and eel make it to the exotic list for you. I’ve had kangaroo more times than I’ve had eel though, probably just because of location.

Presuming you mean meat I consistently dislike no matter if it’s well prepared or in good condition: None. I would say beef and chicken but those were isolated instances and you removed them as options too.

Then… I don’t know, every time I tried something else it turned out to be good. Once I had a codfish that wasn’t well prepared. It was tough like a shoe sole and full of bones. But it didn’t taste terrible, so I’m not sure if it’s a suitable option.

Ok sealion. We are gonna use loose as a verb the way you want it, not the way English speakers want it. You win. Go loose your social ties if it makes sense to you

It just gives the audience a clearer picture of the artist’s process. I’m not saying artists (and btw I’m an artist) need to disclose every piece of reference they use for everything, every time. However many artists do share their process, and the way in which reference is used can vary greatly. Many artists use reference to practically copy the subject, others just use reference to understand the subject and then create something completely different. Or in a completely different pose.

As someone consuming art, I would appreciate knowing what type of mastery and skills the artist has- did they envision this in their minds? How much? What inspired them? Is this an accident or deliberate? Etc. This may be irrelevant to some people, but many at some point want to understand how the artist thinks and feels.

Before AI it would have been obvious that if the subject is not realistic and not found elsewhere then it has to be the artist’s imagination, or an accident. Now an artist could be copying AI instead and you would never know.

I find that artists that tend to copy their references with high fidelity (such as many wildlife painters or illustrators, or personal portraits) are also among those disclosing their references the most. This makes the audience appreciate the artists’ skills more. You can see the difference between the original and the result whereas you would otherwise have to guess.
