Depends, how fat? Like I’d say I’m fat if I’m not fitting in my clothes and that’s probably 4kgs extra. If I had a partner I’d expect support to get to my desired weight again. Even if I’m still within an acceptable BMI with or without those extra kilos. If I was going too underweight I’d expect them to talk me back to my senses.

Great, can’t wait to see people also wearing grass on their ears and butts

Hi there. My feet are the same size, although I would say the whole left side of my body is slightly, just slightly, larger than the right. I don’t feel any difference between my feet with regards to shoe size.

Having said that, I do get callused soles on my left, and I wear out the shoe soles slightly more as well.

I used to wear cheap shoes when I was younger, but my experience is that they always rub me off on some spot or another in a painful way, or just feel painful when walking or standing for long periods of time. I haven’t had those kinds of problems since switching to expensive shoes. I also noticed the expensive ones are not that much more of an investment since they last longer.

So yeah I’m not saying that’s the solution to everything but good quality shoes definitely helps.

This is material for No Stupid Questions or Ask Lemmy communities, not a Showerthought

Ok, just curious, I can think of other things that would make someone “successful” in the music world but I think talent would still be in my top 10 for sure. Not essential as I said, you don’t need to check everything in the list.

What are your top 10s?

Fame comes with the right social connections and luck. Talent helps, but is secondary. Of course, if you have all three, you become very very well known and people will feel you deserve in some way the fame and fortune you have.

This is clearly not a showerthought, so…

Sir/Ma’am all you had to do was phrase it as a question, not a statement

I’m sure there have to be more specialized communities for this though

Pirate zbrush and try Nomad. I don’t have a tablet so I never gave it a go.

As for Zbrush, Maxon has done absolutely nothing of value to it since its acquisition. I purchased the perpetual license when it was still Pixologic and that’s what I keep using. I hear from industry professionals that I don’t miss out on absolutely anything new at all.

No.

There is only so much you can learn that is applicable to real life situation about body movement. I guess you can read that if you hold your breath and relax, or keep a certain upright posture with your arms extended, then you will remain afloat. But that’s about it. You need to go and try it. No matter for how many years you read, you need to first go and try the basics.

You can say the same about riding a bicycle I guess or rollerblades or a skateboard

That’s a really good point a lot of people miss. There are a lot of right answers in this post, different people, different results; age; etc. But if you don’t level up the challenge and make sure you are meeting those challenges correctly then you will stagnate. True for everything

Now that would have been reassuring to read. It wasn’t in the article though. I agree with you that gassing or blanket poisoning is a lot worse in principle

Okay so it won’t zap larger things like pets and people but what about other insects? I’m mildly annoyed at how the majority don’t give a fuck about insects. It says fast insects such as houseflies can’t be detected if flying fast, but there’s plenty of slow flyers that are not mozzies. Would they get zapped too? Tiny moths and butterflies? Ladybugs and other small beetles? Hovering dragonflies? We already have a massive decline in insect diversity

Sounds like you’d make a good AMA post

The roo is good and I would have it more often if not for the price tag.

The ants and mealworms were pan fried, sauteed I guess. They were good. Ants were like a zesty citrus crumb and mealworms were sort of like popcorn.

So practically a ritual. What’s the point of voting if there is only one candidate? Rhetorical question

Not many, I’ve had crickets, ants, mealworms, venison, kangaroo, I think that’s it for unusual. Not sure if things like duck and eel make it to the exotic list for you. I’ve had kangaroo more times than I’ve had eel though, probably just because of location.

Presuming you mean meat I consistently dislike no matter if it’s well prepared or in good condition: None. I would say beef and chicken but those were isolated instances and you removed them as options too.

Then… I don’t know, every time I tried something else it turned out to be good. Once I had a codfish that wasn’t well prepared. It was tough like a shoe sole and full of bones. But it didn’t taste terrible, so I’m not sure if it’s a suitable option.

It just gives the audience a clearer picture of the artist’s process. I’m not saying artists (and btw I’m an artist) need to disclose every piece of reference they use for everything, every time. However many artists do share their process, and the way in which reference is used can vary greatly. Many artists use reference to practically copy the subject, others just use reference to understand the subject and then create something completely different. Or in a completely different pose.

As someone consuming art, I would appreciate knowing what type of mastery and skills the artist has- did they envision this in their minds? How much? What inspired them? Is this an accident or deliberate? Etc. This may be irrelevant to some people, but many at some point want to understand how the artist thinks and feels.

Before AI it would have been obvious that if the subject is not realistic and not found elsewhere then it has to be the artist’s imagination, or an accident. Now an artist could be copying AI instead and you would never know.

I find that artists that tend to copy their references with high fidelity (such as many wildlife painters or illustrators, or personal portraits) are also among those disclosing their references the most. This makes the audience appreciate the artists’ skills more. You can see the difference between the original and the result whereas you would otherwise have to guess.

I can see the fuzz. Yes it’s probably the brand of paper. That’s a nice granite brush holder you got there.
