62 Democrats joined 207 Republicans in that vote

That's nearly all Republicans in the House and a little over a quarter of Democrats in the House

The parties aren't the same

Sodium batteries (which are on the market now) are way more environmentally friendly than Lithium batteries.

The materials are very accessible by comparison to Lithium batteries and they're way more stable.

When you're tired enough you can sleep in many places that would surprise you

I work day shift now and when I get to work I take a 15-20 minute nap in my car right when I get there. I crack the windows, kick the seat back, and throw a floppy hat over my face and lass out almost immediately.

It's an art

Those are a legitimate reason to not like an e-celebrity.

Shit I don't think I could name 100 people

Especially if the people I have to name are celebrities

Ah yeah now that's good advice right there

Don't let them pressure you, they're in a hurry not you. And if you're going too slow for them they'll eventually go around.

It's not AI and in some of the comments that replied to you I explain the process of how made it.

The long and short of it is that's it's a databent image of something I took a picture of

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Correct it's not AI but some weird photography and strange edits.

Basically I took the picture using an old lens from an x-ray machine using a custom adapter to put it on my Lumix G-9, then put the image through Lightroom, GIMP (to convert the file), Audacity (to bend the data), then back through GIMP (to convert it again) , then back through Lightroom.

The file conversion is necessary because Lightroom won't output a BMP file which is needed for Audacity because of the type of bending I'm doing there. Technically you can import any raw data into Audacity but BMP files are easier to mess with IMO. Using a TIF file you can edit each color channel separately a lot easier (in theory) but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Actually it's an edit of a different one I haven't shared yet‡ but it's the same mini from a different angle in a different spot of my desk.

But yeah not AI. Just some fun editing using Lightroom and Audacity.

I recently watched a video from the YouTuber Chris Boden (PhysicsDuck) and saw an unhinged comment in the comment section that he replied to. I thought his reply was great so I felt like sharing.

Start image description: A YouTube comment section with a comment with the username censored and a reply from the YouTuber PhysicsDuck.

The comment reads: What is with the gay pride?! Im so sick of seeing this everywhere. Why is it necessary to shove this down everyones throat? Unsubbed!

The reply from PhysicsDuck: What are you on about? Are you ok? Do you smell toast?

There’s nothing in the entire video that is in any manner gay. I’m a nerdy middle aged straight white dude talking about how we measure the diameter of wire and cable, and you’re having a homoerotic existential crisis? Really?

Am I just that overpoweringly attractive to you that you can’t fight these feelings anymore and have to ragequit the channel while screaming about “gay” and how necessary it is to have something shoved down your throat?

Because, while I'm not gay, I’ve got a LOT of family, friends, and viewers who are every imaginable fabulous fruity flavour of sparkly awesome you can imagine, and I’m sure that one of them would be happy to help you fulfill your fantasy, if you ask nicely.

It’s ok, no judgement or kinkshaming here. Come out of the closet, it’s too damn crowded in there anyways.

I love you, just the way you are.

Good luck.

I'm in the process of switching my machines to Linux Mint from Windows and on my network drive I have a bunch of folders that are sorted with the help of preceding underscores (like this "__folder1" "___folder2")) so that folders appear in a specific order.

When my Mint machines access the drive they sort by the first letter skipping the underscores and I'd really like to have that functionality back rather than having to rename a bunch of folders to try to sort them again. (I'd like to avoid a preceding 'A' workaround if possible as there's a bunch of folders)

Any suggestions? A setting I'm missing (very likely) or something?

Edit: The more I look the more it looks like I'm going to have to make a custom locale to be able to get the sorting I want from the default Mint file manager.

At the last session the player in question tried to look up the town they just got to because they recognized the name, they quickly found out that all I had was the name the rest of it all was made up by me on the spot.

I'm wanting to add grass Tufts to my mini bases as my bases are boring AF currently (typically primer grey with some paint splashes from the minis feet lol)

I've got Vallejo Ground Texture stuff (dark earth brown, grey pumice, and a sand brown) that I'm going to be using on some bases for some bases but I'm feeling little grass tufts would add a lot to liven them up.

So recommendations for what kinds of grass would be awesome as I'm pretty lost looking at them.

So I've got a bit of color blindness going on (a bit blue and yellow, a bit more red and green (not to mention some colors are painful but that's a different story lol)) and I had a question about editing pictures to show what different colorblindness looks like. My friends keep asking me how I see things and I'd love to show them.

I've been editing pictures for years but I'd say I still have a lot to learn in the color grading and color space departments (not like it's easy for me lol)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I primarily use Lightroom but I've been learning Dark Table recently. So either would be fine.
