Underberg?! Or other incredibly bitter and foul liquid? It’s a novel idea but I don’t think it would really work. Maybe if you made it even more potent with sucrose octaacetate or denatonium benzoate (active ingredients in those nail varnishes that are supposed to stop you biting your nails).

See also squirrels/mice and other small rodents falling/jumping from trees. They DGAF because fall damage isn’t really a thing for them.

Nice

This will be me in a few weeks. Wife walked out on me and she owns all the furniture so minimalist space here we come. Great for VR and I can set up a little photo studio, with space left over for my crying chair!

Nanami Togarachi, it’s a Japanese seasoning with chilli, orange peel, sesame, ginger, seaweed and sancho pepper. Looks and tastes fantastic, I put it on everything.

Gadar probably juat needs recalibrating

This plays out on a less extreme level too, when an area attracts wealth the more wealthy residents will silo themselves behind security gates and kill any sense of community that the area previously had.

They’re cute until you try and remove one trespassing in your garden. Once they’ve tasted that sweet fuchsia the little fuckers will never give up trying to destroy everything between them and the fuchsia. And then they get big, big enough to break down a stone wall.

Ascaso used might be worth looking at. I’ve had one for over 15 years and its still going strong. I can see a few on ebay for under 100.

Wow that must be a US thing then, NHS in the UK definitely doesn’t send unqualified midwives into the field!

Aren’t midwives, like, experts in childbirth tho?

I looked at how much my 128GB DDR4 costs and holy shit £900. Timed my build well I feel with the 3080Ti.

Watched Inglorious Basterds for the first time the other night

Jesus christ if you image search it there is a slop avalanche with like a dozen variants with him wearing different clothes and slightly different houses etc. All reposted woth slightly different wording.

Gaming. It has completely replaced flatscreen gaming for me. Playing FPS on a screen feels so ridiculous to me now.

I recently lost out on some work (big retouching job) due to AI, when the client came back to me to fix the huge mess, it turned out the job had just been farmed out to India by the ‘AI’ company. They weren’t even using a recent Photoshop version so were actually using less ‘AI’ than any pro retoucher would.

There are relatively small buggy/wheelbarrow ones that you walk the grid pattern with.

Nah that’s actually a half pipe for skater gnomes.

I just don’t sit down. More exercise that way and saves weight if you remove the seat post.

Shooting weddings is uniquely draining, physically and mentally. 16 hours on your feet carrying weighty kit, putting your body in awkward positions to get the right angle, needing to stay hyper alert so you don’t miss the perfect shot, constantly thinking ahead, all with the added pressure to not fuck things up. I’ve done some really gruelling location work with even longer days but weddings are always the hardest.
