As the City of Ottawa looks to take over responsibility for parking ticket disputes next year, one councillor wants to look at a sliding scale of penalties that would give low-income drivers a break....
Correct, it’s a cheapo fake tilt-shift effect intended to make it look smaller, but as someone with the eye for it all it does is remove any ability to get any scale because you have nothing to compare it to. For all I know this chicken is 3m tall and the porch is actually a train station dock.
Not exactly the same vibe but I keep a good memory of getting engrossed into this anonymous writer that made a whole story in Reddit comments: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9
It’s very dark and mysterious, it was crazy cool waiting for the next comment to drop but I think there’s a repository somewhere so you can just read them all in order.
I only read manga occasionally (I go on a binge now and then) last one has been a while. From my understanding tachiyomi doesn’t work anymore, are there alternatives?
As far as recommendations, the last one I really enjoyed was Bakuman! You should give it a go if a shonen about guys writing manga with lots of meta sounds interesting.

Hello all. I am very new to this but it is all very cool to me. I ran into a problem and I am not sure how to troubleshoot it. I downloaded a simple pull string helicopter off thingiverse. After running through the slicer software, the estimated build time is 131 hours. Relative to it’s size this seems insane. If I “run the...
I just watched a video essay about design that talked about this, basically before the iPhone manufacturers were trying all kinds of crazy shit, after the iPhone it was black rectangles all around.

Right I eyeball it so it’s hard to be sure but I’d say between 1:2 and 40% liquor probably, + lots of ice. That’s still about twice as strong as these premixeds, you’ll certainly tell the difference. I just don’t like neat liquor but I’m getting really into “short” cocktails, things like whiskey sours, basil smash, margaritas, gimlets etc where it’s mostly the main liquor with some complements.
Yeah same, we took a mini trip on the way home from the wedding, with plans to do a huge trip “soon”. With our lifestyles we already “need” to travel multiple times a year just for family etc, so taking the time and expense for such a trip just never really works out.
Yeah it gets ruined because we actually read the accent aigu and that removes the double meaning completely. I had to think like a non-speaker to get it, it was quick but I had to go back and think about it.

2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5 (kbin.run)
I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.
