This is a surprisingly encouraging thing to hear for someone who wants to get into making art but has issues with not being perfect the first time.

Maybe I -will- make that painting I've been putting off.

I felt exactly the same way about Rimworld when 1.6 released after a wildly long time on 1.5. I’d just got it set up on a newly rebuilt gaming pc, and did all the work to manually download, install, and sort new copies of about 1,000 mods (not on steam, refuse to use it for anything other than finding mods - I've since found rimsort which has workshop access and steamcmd built in, along with some other sources I haven’t explored, which is swanky af.) and then 1.6 dropped which would break literally all my mods because they changed how the game runs, and..

I just said absolutely not and left it at 1.5 for a long time while I continued to play my perfectly good functional game (do some games not let you choose to update or not, not the ones mentioned cuz I read the article and know its optional, but any? If you -can- choose, why does this even matter? Fomo?). I recently updated everything, now that I have rimsort for the mods, and.. yeah game is almost exactly the same, and runs the same, but some of the mods are built in now. And they added birds and water plants I guess. Yay. Taking two full days to set everything up again was so worth it… Most of it is junk I’ll never interact with, because the modded stuff I’m used to is superior. I haven't even tried to go to space, that crap isn't what I’m playing for (ridiculous base building and hoarding is, and “spreadsheets and warcrimes: the game” is exactly my jam for those two things).

A lot of the newer mods are considerably better, though, so there IS that..

Not difficult at all, just longer posts. Everything else is exactly the same as if tou installed it 3-or-whatevers-standard foot from the ground.

As for tornadoes, they don't happen in most places nearly as often as certain places in the US, just due to how they form and the conditions necessary, so largely irrelevant to most of the world. But beyond that, being near, but not on, the ground doesn't offer a lot of help in tornado force winds for something like solar. It’s likely to get damaged regardless how tall it is.

Aktchully, the ideal height to install solar for max benefit for plants is also high enough to allow for large animals and people to pass right under them! (This isn't really a new finding, tbh)

It’s about 6 foot off the ground, or higher, and well-spaced. This allows sunlight to reach the whole ground as the sun moves, while still providing adequate shade to reduce plant burn and soil drying.

That is the most relatable justification for a relatable comic I have ever seen.

I’m the person who can’t go on a hike, because I stop too much to look at stuff and tell everyone with me all about it if they say no when I ask if they know.

I had one with a similar story, he taught the rest of my cats that inside is better, and that’s even been passed on to the newest cats even tho he’s not around anymore. Nobody wants to go outside, even on leash.

My cats sit by the glass storm door and watch me go through it. Not a whisker twitch to move. They are inside only and have no real desire to go out. All my cats have been like that. They are spoiled rotten and know it. Not willing to give up a good thing.

Neat, I support this effort big time.

I was so paranoid when I got my memorial tattoo done.. it’s in Latin, and my Latin is not awesome.. I did weeks of research and was very confident I had it right, so I had my prof take a look and somehow I did indeed get it right, yay!

I was paranoid because my first tattoo was supposed to say one thing in Japanese, had the right character on the stencil and everything, and the artist fucked it up figuring I wouldn’t notice, and it’s not a word at all. Thankfully it’s covered unless I’m naked, and nobody who has seen me naked can read Japanese..

Unfortunately I’m so rusty on all my languages I won’t be much help, but I’m for sure gunna lurk!

No thanks, I’m ace.

Presumably yes.

But for a bigger picture question, are all of those others able to interbreed with each other, as well? If yes, they are basically like different races of human or breed of domestic animal. If not, it gets much more interesting in terms of classification.

So women aren’t allowed to be called she/her anymore because woke? We can’t use gender neutral they/them either because that’s also woke. I’m curious how we are supposed to be referred. This anti-woke stuff is getting really complicated.

I’ve never had to get a vehicle inspected in Wisconsin as far as I can recall. There are some areas that do emissions testing but that’s about it.
