“I’m so grateful you’re in my life.“

Still makes me feel…. Just wonderful.

Thanks for sharing!

I was going to complain about the lack of burning giraffes, but then realized it’s a study.
Thankfully the painting does live up to its name :)

650 years ago this place was a sea. So I’d end up having to swim at least a couple of kilometers. Considering the current sea temperatures, I’d probably die of hypothermia before I could reach the shore.

Love the positive feedback ❤️

The drink pedestal is a nice touch

I have a domain with Njalla.
I ended up with them because they seem to take privacy very seriously.

Oh god yes, especially now that all of them use led lights. Mine still uses an old-fashioned light, which is great when you’re alone on the road because your night vision can deal with the rest. But I turn completely blind when an oncoming bike shines one of those led-lights directly in my face.
I’ve already ran off the path twice so far because I couldn’t see where I was cycling (it was at a bicycle path through the park without street lights)

My job title is data engineer, but the organization I work at is small enough that it basically ranges from business intelligence to cloud engineering to data architecture to data science to whatever other thing is even slightly related to data :)

It might not cover everything, but here’s a nice list:

I’m a happy OpenSUSE user, but is there a mrs. Chad I can be instead? :)

I wouldn’t know about the hence part, but I always read it as “years from now”. A bit like the opposite from “years since”.
As for the other thing, it started out with deliberately engineered beings for specific tasks like the vacuumorph.
About a hundred years later the remaining people would create new humans with the specific goal of being able to survive the harsher environment of a ravaged earth. It was these that evolved further into different creatures.
It’s a pretty far fetched story either way, I just like it for the weird pictures :)
I posted a link in one of the other replies. You can read the whole thing there if you’re interested, there’s a timeline on page 20 if you just want a quick overview.

There’s a copy of it in the internet archive

It’s a speculative evolution book from 1990 about how mankind might evolve in the next 5 million years. Basically the premise is that due to climate change, new species of humans are engineered to survive in a more hostile world. And then it follows these new species and their further evolutions.
The creatures in the picture above are both descended from humans.
It’s weird, bleak and very far fetched.

A copy of Man after Man:

This is such a weird book. It has leech people, underwater people, blind psychic baby people, meat mountain people, etc.

A pair of black BeLenka minimalist boots with wool lining. They’re very flexible and comfy but still keep my feet warm.

Basically any fantasy cartoon that featured a voyage or some kind of quest was a favorite when I was little.

• The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
• Dungeons & Dragons
• Pirates of Dark Water
• Conan the Adventurer

So… being one of those spouses who uses wd40 on everything. Do you have link to some easily understandable info on when to use the right lubricant?

What’s the opposite of procrastination?
Eagerness girl? That… sounds wrong somehow.
