This will be me in a few weeks. Wife walked out on me and she owns all the furniture so minimalist space here we come. Great for VR and I can set up a little photo studio, with space left over for my crying chair!

Nanami Togarachi, it’s a Japanese seasoning with chilli, orange peel, sesame, ginger, seaweed and sancho pepper. Looks and tastes fantastic, I put it on everything.

Gadar probably juat needs recalibrating

Wow that must be a US thing then, NHS in the UK definitely doesn’t send unqualified midwives into the field!

Aren’t midwives, like, experts in childbirth tho?

I looked at how much my 128GB DDR4 costs and holy shit £900. Timed my build well I feel with the 3080Ti.

Watched Inglorious Basterds for the first time the other night

Jesus christ if you image search it there is a slop avalanche with like a dozen variants with him wearing different clothes and slightly different houses etc. All reposted woth slightly different wording.

Gaming. It has completely replaced flatscreen gaming for me. Playing FPS on a screen feels so ridiculous to me now.

I recently lost out on some work (big retouching job) due to AI, when the client came back to me to fix the huge mess, it turned out the job had just been farmed out to India by the ‘AI’ company. They weren’t even using a recent Photoshop version so were actually using less ‘AI’ than any pro retoucher would.

There are relatively small buggy/wheelbarrow ones that you walk the grid pattern with.

Nah that’s actually a half pipe for skater gnomes.

Reminds me of some kind of Japanese propaganda book I found washed up on a beach, the illustration style was tge same but with more gore! I should really try to dig it out.

I just don’t sit down. More exercise that way and saves weight if you remove the seat post.

Shooting weddings is uniquely draining, physically and mentally. 16 hours on your feet carrying weighty kit, putting your body in awkward positions to get the right angle, needing to stay hyper alert so you don’t miss the perfect shot, constantly thinking ahead, all with the added pressure to not fuck things up. I’ve done some really gruelling location work with even longer days but weddings are always the hardest.

This is accurate. The best I ever saw lasted about 2 minutes, after hours of sitting watching basically nothing. Everyone else had long gone inside but I still had my camera set. Absolutely worth sitting alone on a hillside, it was by far the most amazing thing I’ve ever witnessed.

It also helps to let your eyes accustom to the dark, IIRC 45 minutes is ideal.

~40000 people playing VRChat right now FYI.

Product photography, particularly in fashion but pretty much everywhere, is being taken over by AI slop. ECommerce websites are already full of the stuff and the consumer either doesn’t notice or doesnt give a shit.

I almoat forgot about Rude Dog!

Tried This a few years back and I like a strong flavor but it was too much. Mayne because they used the whole tree!
