Every year we go more and more overboard

Deep, fluffy snow is the best snow, even in the foothills.

Surprise! Corporations are reneging on their public climate pledges.

' Lang’s group examined more than 1,000 companies that have pledges to zero out their emissions by 2050. It found that [only] 38 of them ... are doing the bare minimum required under the Paris agreement’s goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The rest are not meeting the “starting line criteria” laid out by the United Nations ... '

The fascists love to demonize queer ppl for "making everything about sex" or "making their gender their whole personality" but every time I go to a queer event I am struck by how precisely they have this backwards. Cis society is profoundly sexualized, and literally every interaction is pre-coded with assumed gender. In a queer space, you purposefully never make assumptions about who someone is or what they're up to, so interactions are much *less* coded by gender and *less* intronsically sexual

I won our beginner's game of Xia: Legends of a Drift System. It reminded me a lot of Twilight Imperium and Eclipse, but I liked it better because you don't have to take and hold territory.

Since we were playing a short game, mostly with the goal of learning the rules, I took a lot of chances. I blind jumped 4 or 5 times (only once suffering any consequences), turned outlaw, jumped through a defective gate, and shot an undefended opponent out of the sky. Booyah!

Il m'arrive de réaliser des perspectives à deux points, et donc je valide que l'utilisation de l'élastique comme guide pour créer des lignes parallèles aide vraiment à la réalisation des perspectives à deux points.

La perspective à deux points est une méthode de dessin qui utilise deux points de fuite sur la ligne d'horizon pour créer l'illusion de profondeur dans un espace bidimensionnel. Elle est couramment utilisée dans les dessins d’architecture et de décoration intérieure pour représenter des objets de manière plus réaliste.

Étapes à suivre :

1) Commencez par tracer une ligne horizontale pour l'horizon et placez deux points de fuite à chaque extrémité.

2) Utilisez l'élastique pour relier ces points, créant des lignes diagonales convergentes vers les points de fuite.

3) Dessinez des lignes verticales pour les objets, en veillant à ce qu'elles s'alignent avec l'élastique pour maintenir la perspective.

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.
