That's really lovely! Are you still friends or in contact with them today?

I was taken under the wing of a motherly school friend after I was ostracized and bullied by previous 'friend' group....I got my diagnosis 30+ years later

Impressive aren't they? I assume he has millions of glossy magazines available for when he gets creative

Thank you, I've starred your comment so I can use the link later on. They do have adult education classes near me so I can also see if that's appropriate.

Your mentioning about the science is partly why I'd like to understand maths, I love science and the natural world. I know when I'm watching BBC documentaries that the info is accurate, but I'd like to see how the maths proves and supports it.... or just be able to see the patterns it makes

Ironically, my dad was an accountant and would go through my homework when I was in primary school. You'd think he would be helpful and supportive? Nope, he get angry and shout and tell me to "just think".....!

I literally didn't have a clue where or how the correct answer was supposed to pop into my head. Not very helpful at all

As an autistic woman who was beyond inept at maths, I wish I'd had you as my teacher.

I can always remember the day when I found out I'd scored around 12% and 8% on my simultaneous equations homework, and the teacher went through it on the board... I was so embarrassed that I went bright red, and even worse, my glasses steamed up

I would love to understand and be able to do maths

I am currently in the act of my own version of 'skin cycling'

I've had a good look online for which actives have the research to back them up (some of which I was aware of before) and then try and arrange everything so it gets a fair distribution, without irritating the crap out of my skin (last time I went for it my skin got slightly fried)

So far it seems to be working, I'm about 2 months in. I can do an acid exfoliation, Tret, copper peptides in the pm with an evening off, and alternate between copper peptides and Vit C/antioxidants during the day....then restart the process for the next 4 days

Also I'm trying out NIODs CAIS (copper peptides) and FECC (eye serum, peptides, matrixyl etc) since May. I've been using them as much as I can within my routine, without combining them when I exfoliate and use Tret, Vit C etc

I think I can see a difference around my eyes, I'm still not sure about the rest of my face, I have been using them on my neck and above the ole' boobs....I'm not sure whether it's only the CAIS (or a combi with the aha/Tret) but my decolletage does look better and my neck too, less crepey

It's early days yet, but I will report back 😀

 

Main photo curves & colors!

Since the release of the first digital cameras I have been connected to photography. At the beginning (in the year 2000) I made my first "steps" with a compact camera, now I work with Canon DSLR cameras. Over time, my initial hobby became a passion that always accompanies me in my life - and sometimes leads me when a picture idea has evolved and I try to implement it. source

I love your work, it's like an updated voyager golden data disk packed with information....graphically elegant!

I'm getting big foreshadowing vibes that one of The Boys is going to die this season, and I think it would be too obvious to be Butcher (I think he'll probably end up killing Homelander along with himself in the next and final season) .....but I could be completely wrong!

Either way I like it when The Boys have their backs against the wall, with all their previous misdeeds biting them on their arses and no obvious solution in sight (although it is truly depressing seeing the parallels with the way Voight and the supes manipulate and twist everything in the media, and our present situation/s)

Really beautiful photo!

Some years ago, I saw a neat photo collage centered around power lines by some artist

Was it something like this?

I posted his work to collage sometime ago

I am taking pictures since 1980. After participating in several national competitions I decided in 1985 to participate in international photographic salons and specifically in the sections of color slide, nature and travel photography.

Over the past 30 years I had been a member of the Photographic Society of America (PSA), the DVF (German Association of Photography) and the Royal Photographic Society of England. I was awarded with EFIAP from the FIAP, an ARPS from the Royal Photographic Society of England and PPSA of the Photographic Society of America.

I take pictures form everything that interests me. My pictures are always coming out of my head and then realized with focal lengths ranging from 10 to 400 mm.

An important tool for me is the polarizing filter.

Both me and the bf gave an audible WTF at the splinter centipede scene.....

It doesn't matter what weird shit has happened previously, The Boys always ups the ante with the bizarre sex and creative violence every time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I went in blind...

Us too, we had no idea, just that it seemed highly recommended

Each episode had us going WTF and trying to work out the 'puzzle' of it all....don't even get me started on the utterly bizarre waffle party

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Looking forward to this!

Me and the bf really enjoyed the WTF puzzling of the first season and the beautiful aesthetic, I just hope they continue the quality and don't shit the bed.....

Totally agree....

I've been using mint for the last 4 years, and while I have had to use the command line for some obscure installs, it also works as an OS without needing to use it (i jumped in at the deep end and installed it in a pc I got from my brother and used it as my everyday OS)

I don't understand why Mint isn't the first suggestion for Linux 'virgins' switching over from Windows etc, it has everything you need pre installed plus the download manager for anything else

Linux has a flavour for everyone, and after a while when you're confidence and skills grow there is the fun of using the command line and a bit of tinkering....or not, if you are happy with the 'basics'
