After having such a symptom with one of my cats, having him spend a week at an emergency vet, and having the vets tell me he probably wouldn't have made it had I taken him a few hours later, I'm going to guess whatever it is is probably quite serious.

The way the kid's torso just goes backwards in the second panel is horrifying if you look too hard at it.

Back on Reddit there used to be a whole community about spaceship art done this way, taking random things and using them as inspiration. I wonder if anyone has made an equivalent.

Not played Mass Effect, but this is how my only try at a stormcloak run in Skyrim ended. It's not really a "good run vs evil run thing" given the factions involved, but when you do the stormcloaks the whiterun jarl shames you for betraying him and invading his city and I didn't really feel like keeping on with that plotline after it.

If someone throws a hat in the air, you take a picture of it before it lands, and you don't know what it is you've seen and photographed, technically you have taken a photo of a UFO.

I don't think mice understand the concept of something not being free tbh. It ain't like they go around with little mouse wallets filled with little mice money and little mice credit cards.

Workers and society after somebody hands them the means of production: "oh no, guess I'll die." /s

It is. I never did get a chance to try darkspore, but I've long been curious about it.

Either nothing at all, or very faintly like graphite/"pencil lead", I'd think.

Im no religious person, but given this afterlife punishment has an end to it (once he finally finishes working all those hours), wouldn't this be more a purgatory than a hell?

The planet would survive, sure, but why should we care that it does without us? Meaning is something that we invented, without someone to assign it, an ecosystem is little more valuable than a rock.

If sending a small payment is an option for age verification, then I guess that might be the most reasonable for stuff like fedi servers located there? Obviously I'm against having such a law, but if one is going to make websites verify user age, then for a small ad-free platform that in theory should run on user donations anyway, essentially requiring a very small one to use the platform doesn't sound like the worst way? I guess it does pose problems for someone specifically avoiding credit cards tho.

 

I know this seems like two unrelated questions, so let me explain why I would like to do one of these two things: I recently got a drawing pen tablet with a display, which works fine, except that I am left handed, and my wrist keeps hitting the side buttons. The driver allows me to flip the pen inputs, but not the actual display, it just works as a regular monitor in that regard and relies on the windows settings (windows 11 in my case).

Now, I can flip it if I set it to extend my main monitor, however, I would like to be able to see what I am doing on either monitor, so I would prefer it to mirror my main monitor, just rotated 180 degrees. Some googling suggests that windows does not allow you to do this, except for a glitch involving changing the settings to extend and then back to duplicate, which I cannot manage to achieve. Does anyone know any workaround, or some extra software or such, that would allow me to do this?

Alternatively, if this cannot be done by any means, I would rather not use the extend function as is as I also often play games where moving the mouse to the edge of the screen moves the map around, and so would rather my mouse stay at an edge when reached instead of moving to the next monitor, ideally with some sort of hotkey to toggle what monitor the mouse is on. Is there a way I might achieve something like this?

EDIT: turns out this was all unnecessary, because the tablet itself has an option to do this rotation, its just in a part of the on-board display settings I didnt see before, isnt accessible from the driver UI that Ive seen, and wasnt mentioned on the tutorials that I found on the manufacturer's site that suggested windows had be used to control that rotation. Thanks anyways to everyone that tried to help me while I spent hours searching for a workaround needlessly.

 

All the spines and frills are supposed to be for sensing vibrations to help it not need eyes. Supposedly a herbivore, but not really since I just kept both cells mouths all the way through. Kept some cell movement as well, never realized before that the flagella makes a neat rat-like tail in creature stage if you make it large.

 

Specifically the type of printer that prints using spools of plastic filament, but that seems like the most common type anyway

 

Like, I just was thinking about how lots of pet species will just eat as much food as you give them to the point of making themselves sick, and keeping them at a healthy weight requires not giving them access to too much food. Obviously some humans have problems with this, but imagine how bad things would be if everyone were basically psychologically incapable of not eating food when we had access to it even when we'd had enough, given our dramatically higher access to food due to agriculture.

 

Name isnt anything too creative, its just called the "Slowboat Hauler", but it isnt supposed to be anything too fancy, just the space-fairing version of a bulk cargo freighter, designed by a species that at the time would have thought ftl travel impossible, needing its ships to take the slow way round. The big disk up front is supposed to be a shield to take the impacts of space dust and gas at extreme velocities.

 

This little iron refinery probably isnt much to look at for experienced players, but Im pretty proud of it. has 2 miners on a pair of pure iron deposits behind the structure feeding into the 8 smelters inside, divided into 2 different output locations because the best conveyors I currently have can only handle half it's output. There is a small amount of clipping, but nothing super cheaty looking (the mergers that clip through the outside wall dont use the side that clips through, so I like to imagine the exterior bits of them as looking like some sort of ventilation ducts or something.

 

This is more meant to resemble some kind of early interplanetary spaceship rather than a true interstellar one, but considering you get your ftl drive by just finding one on a nearby planet, I figure this is the sort of tech level your species would realistically have, to start with.

 

Possibly not the ideal instance for this, but Id rather not deal with alt accounts and like how this instance has been run thus far. Plus, theres gotta be some other furries that play this game right? seeing as it lets you make creatures...
