Was about to say, I think I eat the first third of a loaf in the hour after the bread machine finishes. Fresh bread while its still warm is too good.

I long for days when tech CEOs weren't so vocally obsessed with space, such that taking about space development could lead to interesting discussion of what a realistic timeframe actually is and what progress can be made, rather than just an assumption that one is a Musk or Bezos fanboy that actually believes we can do the work of centuries in 20 years somehow by giving the people that aready have too much money, even more money.

But how does the tetra obtain your financial information in the first place? Phishing.

The majority of humans that have seen nipples have died. Clearly an extreme infohazard /s

I bet if you blasted a crab with a strong enough beam of UV you could get it to sunburn eventually. Or at least suffer some equivalent injury

It's an old meme I think, I've seen variants before but with different "relatively poor country that most people on the English speaking Internet know next to nothing about" instead of Moldova. I think that the guy in the meme is Majira Strawberry, who is from the American west coast to my knowledge and therefore would have a bit of a long trip to cause trouble in Eastern Europe. I mean people travel but you'd figure if furries were causing trouble in Moldova it'd be the ones that live in the general area.

I disagree, I sometimes do laugh at explained jokes, if the reason is something I can understand but didn't connect the dots on rather than an in-joke that I don't have the context for.

Surprised by Estonia tbh. Both because they seemed like the type of country to have UHC, and because I had thought they were considered a developed country these days.

I do watch and enjoy them, it's just, the reason they're enjoyable isn't really the plot. In my view, they're basically tech-demos for how much you can push cgi tech, with a relatively simple and chiche story to tie it together. They're very pretty, and enjoyable for that reason, but once the movie is over there's little to bring them up because they don't inspire the same interest in the characters or plot or worldbuilding that a lot of other popular media franchises do.

Is the tower of London still an option?

Not a historian, but Id imagine it should really depend on what one is making fun of France for. Like, claiming that they're no good at fighting wars is ignoring most of the military record of the country outside the second world war specifically, but say, criticizing them over what they did to Haiti is another thing entirely.

Shouldn't Spanish have the same problem? I've seen them abbreviate it to EEUU though, which I assume must help prevent confusion?

 

They're smaller than your "normal" red foxes, have exaggerated looking facial features with giant mostly black looking eyes with a bit of a slanted look to them but smaller looking noses, and come from a warmer, more barren climate that better resembles a place like mars than the stereotypical habitat of the red fox does, at least on a surface level.

 

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.

 

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.

 

They literally took the gold provinces- all the gold provinces that have generated in south america this run as far as I can find, and nothing else. Kinda looks like open wounds or something else gross with that combination of map colors.

 

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.
