I mean I hate that the steam controller is missing an entire thumb stick and a dpad, but I like the touchpad too. This just seems like an PS4 controller.

Unbelievably amazing

Definitely include a graph of shareholder value overlayed on top.

Sarcasm aside, maybe we should have a graph that also shows:

• average hours worked a year
• average number of sunsets a person sees before they die
• average hours spent with loved ones per year
• average rent
• average hours worked to pay for groceries
• average hours spent doomscrolling on social media
• average student loan debt payments
• suicide rate
• average zoom calls a year
• happiness

And see that by basically all metrics we are working more, paid less, more depressed, more stressed, and unhappy.

Oh yeah, the carcinogens from a fire definitely are cancerous, and we’re always taught to put our dirty gear in trash compactor bags and wash it in a special machine back at the station.

I meant all the coatings on the outer shell or inside the lining by our necks and wrists. That would get into the body through the thin skin there even when just walking around

My instructors always tell stories about folks who wore synthetic clothes under their gear, then it melted to their skin when they are inside a building. Big yikes

Ugh I’m dreading the day we discover turnout gear gives the wearer cancer or some shit. It’s coated in all kinds of crazy crap.

odo grunts

camera pans to Worf warfing down a bowl of gagh, making horrible slurping sounds

odo scoffs and turns away sharply

La’an primly cuts a perfectly square pancake into equal sized squares “So, Odo, as head of security on DS9, what do you consider your most important debrief?”

Odo scoffs again “I caught the bad guys, because it was my job”

La’an, dryly “Quite fascinating Odo, very applicable”

Seems like it increases cancer risk, but it’s the cheapest way we have to sanitize water so

https://www.cancercenter.com/community/blog/2020/05/drinking-water-cancer-risk

I’m putting the water in glass containers, so no need to worry about it leeching materials. Also, I am positive I get all the micronutrients (the paper your cited refers to magnesium and iron) I need from vegetables, without needing to resort to tap water that contains high levels of microplastics. I also brush my teeth with floride, so no need to worry about dental caries.

Bidet attachment for a toilet. You can get them cheap, or spend a bit more for heated seats, warmed water, fans for drying, etc. Best bathroom decision ever.

Countertop electric water distiller. For a reasonable price you can get a countertop water distiller that runs a gallon for like $0.15. No more microplastics, chlorine, ammonia, lead, or facial matter in your drinking water! Tastes SO GOOD, nothing like the plastic filled distilled water from the store, blech. Every time we make a batch, we’ll smell the sticky residue left in the heating chamber and gag. It is nasty stuff. In our tap water, gross. Clean water for me please! Makes our coffee, tea, and kumbucha taste a lot better too.

Getting into a healthy BMI and daily exercise is pretty epic too. You’ll just feel better every day.

As climate change gets worse, having resilience like stored food and water will be helpful to deal with more frequent natural disasters. No sense bothering with fancy meal packets, a couple dozen big cans of dried beans will go a long way if there’s a shelter in place order.

Great stuff! I like the way you shaded her face, very smooth!

If you want any suggestions for future drawings, one trick I find is to spend roughly 80% of the time on the underdrawing, being hyper aware to get the proportions accurate, then the rendering goes super quick and comes out amazing. I used to think it was the other way around, I’d rush through the drawing and then spend a lot of time on the rendering, which led to a lot of frustration trying to get it to look accurate when it’s too late. It made a huge difference, just spending most of the time on the line art.

Also LOTR rules, I love seeing art from it in my feed, please keep it up it brightens my day!

Uh bro, let me share a timeless truth discovered in blood, mud, trenches, and tears by so many of our ancestors.

“War is hell”

It’s not a pithy cute saying made up so badass video game characters have something cool to say before cutting down the faceless baddies. It’s the man huddled in the corner weeping after the hundredth night unable to sleep from the sounds of explosions and shrieks of the dying all around.

What makes you think it’s “not possible”? Do you think the war police are stepping in to make sure only combatants are getting hurt? Calling a foul and time out when a grenade gets tossed into a house that starts a fire that burns down a city block? Do you know how easy it is to accidentally kill a human being, much less a child? Imagine that COD game but only 10% of the people running around are combatants. It’s not big empty buildings, it’s people’s houses with people living in them. Those rockets, bombs, grenades, and automatic guns don’t magically avoid civilians.

From 2013 to 2017 I lost 60 pounds and I’ve kept it off since.

I tried everything to lose that fat.

I’ve tried at different times: keto, calorie counting, intermittent fasting, low fat, low carb, Soylent, cutting alcohol, high fiber, if it fits your macros, power lifting, CrossFit, running, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, and Renaissance periodization.

What’s actually worked consistently for losing and keeping it off? Simple. Intermittent fasting 20/4 with low carb during the week, free cheat weekends, and no alcohol ever. With that protocol I can control my weight to the pound, consistently, and I’ve held it there for over 5 years.

It’s such a great feeling to be totally in control of it.

Thanks you made me laugh so hard I woke up my partner

I loved this book as a kid. The stories were just so creepy and weird

I’M FILLED WITH SEARING AGONY

“You’re going the wrong way!!”

“How does he know where we’re going?”

“Oh yeah”

Bashir realizes they are going to crash into two other ships

“AHHHHHHH”

ship shudders as it scrapes between the two incoming ships. Sparks fly dramatically, and Bashir looks over to see O’Brien dressed in a devil costume laughing maniacally
