Specially in smaller cities away of the big two.

This is something I'm recently struggling since I discovered the availability of patterns online.

I've been learning to draw bespoke patterns from scratch and the lack of reference points for measurements on most of the available stuff throws me off.

I have considered something like this but I don't know, seems too much set up in my tiny workshop for something I'm not sure I'll use often enough.

PD: I love the McGyvering involved in the photo

My neighbours use to warn me about ticks every summer and how they proliferate in the grass. Since my yard has been a safe haven for lizards I haven't found a single tick.

Are actually that bright? Where I live they are very dim and green.

He can't say that NOW.

My issue with generative AI is that the people most interested in using it are the wannabes that can't be bothered in learning what makes something good or why something else is bad.

It reminds me that one friend that twenty five years ago when digitising tablets started to be affordable he bought one and thought himself an artist.

You could give one or two examples before the ad.

I thought stellarators were older than tokamaks.

This is very interesting, I did not consider heating the oil. That way I may not need to use a thinning agent.

 

I was interested in making my own ink so I can have any colour I want.
I dissolved some oil paint in machine oil, in my first tries I used universal machine oil but it was too thick, so I tried sewing machine oil that was much thinner. That worked much better but it was still a bit too thick so I was having some trouble "making it run" along the ribbon, so I used lighter fluid as a thinner. It worked great.
I eyeballed everything so I can't give proportions of the ingredients, in a future more serious attempt I plan to take some measurements.

It's been a month and still hasn't dried on the ribbon and types well.

Down sides:
I still haven't found a good method for putting the ink on the ribbon, I put a pair of gloves and use my fingers so it gets a bit messy and it is slow.
The other down side was that didn't take into account that there was old ink on the ribbon that darkened my brown ink so much that looks mostly black.

At the top of the What's New tab there's the first line stating the last time the feed was updated.

I've been seeing for quite some time now an extra line there saying "Not loaded: 1". My guess is that one of the subscribed channels doesn't exists anymore. If that is correct, is there a way to know what channel is other than trying one by one?

If it something else, please, what is it? I won't loose sleep but it is bugging me enough to post about it after not being capable of googling (or duckducking) the answer.
