I did. Sorry for the terrible scan, I'm still struggling to get a clean result with watercolor though. but thanks ! :)
Enthusiastic snorkelers and divers are working together to clean up garbage in the sea and protect coral reefs off the coast of Da Nang.
that's cool :) I like how forms and volums are well indicated with simple lines.
not sure what you mean, but I find that Dells are also cheap (second hand) easy to find, reliable, solid and easy to maintain (like the hardware is easy to access for cleaning and replacing/updating).
edit : I'm using a latitude 5470 with lubuntu. I bought it second in a pawn shop a few years ago and added some RAM last year, it still runs like a charm.
for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.
yeah, it's more about finding open minded people with empathy (and be open minded and empathic ourself) more than finding people just like us. Embracing differences, respecting and understanding eachother is key. There are plenty of people out there who keep their kids to themself and have plenty of other interests, it's easier to meet them if we don't push them away in the first place (just like they don't push us way fro being child free).

it is not such a stretch. according to Oxford dictionary, to throw is :
1.propel (something) with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand.
which is a very human concept. We then can not judge other species ability to do it (exept primates). just like we can not say animals don't have languages because thay don't speak english.
2.send suddenly into a particular state or condition.
The archer fish is then very efficient at sending water into a particular state or condition with high accuracy.
the octopus for exemple has been observed throwing stuff around.
edit : elephants do it to. and you can find plenty of bird examples.
do not copy paste commands you do not uderstand from shady forums in hope it will solve your problem :)
the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects ... I'm sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we're not that special ...
Bringing Taiwan to the World and the World to Taiwan
a nice illustration of the way our lungs contrats due to boye's law when we freedive. at -10m the volume of air is already reduced by 50%.
thanks for the clarification ! that clear it up :) I'm pretty sure I've seen it advertised several times, but I can't find the actual claim anymore .... I hope I haven't made this up somehow, otherwise I apologize for the misinformation :/ (I'll keep looking).
thanks ! that is usually what I do. Someone offered me a sketch book made of stone paper (it's actually quite nice to draw on), so I was wondering what to think of it.
Hi all, not sure this is the right place to ask... mods, feel free to do what has to be done if not.
I'm interested is "stone paper" a kind of paper made out of calcium carbonate (from limestone or construction waste) and HDPE (High-density polypropylene).
It's been advertised as a more eological solution for producing paper as it doesn't requires to cut down trees and uses much less water and chemicals in the process, compared to traditional paper.
My concern in about HDPE (that represent more or less 20℅ of the final product). Most companies advertise it as a "non-toxic biodegradable" plastic. But I can not find any reliable information to back this up.
I'm then inclined to think it is just green-washing.
but still I'm wondering if anyone could bring some insight about HDPE being biodegrade ...
thanks !
“The worst thing about cars is that they are like castles or villas by the sea: luxury goods invented for the exclusive pleasure of a very rich minority, and which in conception and nature were never intended for the people”. So starts Andre Gorz’s justly famous 1973 essay which remains as relevant ...

A deep pen with a good nib makes nice clean lines. It's a terrible "scan" of the actual drawing. I did it with my terrible phone and cleaned it up a bit with curves and sharpening filter. that might be that as well x) haha
I did not finish drawabox nor did I exactly follow the exercises, but I certainly got better line work and spacial vision through the drills !
thanks ! this is india ink on paper (not digital) with a first construction step with graphite (that has been erased).
if you're intrested. I'm currently studying this. and draw a box has been really helpful to me as well.
Hi all, how do you manage to sit for long periods of time ?
I'm having trouble staying still after 25/30mn. After that my right leg gets so numb, I've got to move it every once in a while. I'm not sure it really is an issue, but even if I try ti stay focused on my meditation while moving, it's always a distraction. Fyi : I sit crossed legs with my butt on a cushion.
Thanks !
With the Netflix documentary The Deepest Breath wowing audiences, the activity is having its biggest cultural moment since Luc Besson’s film The Big Blue. But if freediving wants to break into the mainstream like surfing once did, it has some questions to answer
freediving could become a lot more mainstream, but should it ?
night shifts would be harmful anyhow (edit : it fucks up your sleep cycle as well as your social life)
that what I thought. Well, people get easily offended for no reasons, better be safe I guess 🤷♂️
Why are some people here on fuckcars still debating on what the best car is ? I mean, most of the time the best car is no car.
edit : that was a genuine question. I wasn't expecting such wrath from car enthusiasts.
Is freediving safe? Freediving fatalities accounted for nearly a third of the recreational scuba deaths in 2017.
Freediving isn't anextreme sport and can be quite safe.
