I tasted mead recently but it tasted more like acetone and couldn't stomach more than a few drops. But it's a "me"-problem. It was good and not spoiled. I just have a different taste. Even normal wine tastes like some kind of acetone to me. Grape juice itself is alright for me. I guess the fermentation products are causing the putrid smells and tastes that my nose and tongue cannot deal with. Also beer smells like wet and half-eaten bread with vinegar. Pure vodka also is very nasty as it creates a very strong burning sensation in the esophagus.
Never gonna be drunk because of that alone.about 10 months ago from web-
@adiwan Gene Simmons has famously said that the very smell of alcohol has always turned his stomach, some people taste cilantro as soap... Literally different tastes for different people

@zeldatra Know anything about Cartoon Animator by Reallusion? Looking for something that isn't OpenToonz or a massive monthly subscription for mostly one-off, here-and-there kind of little things.

@zeldatra One major thing I've got is just a simple geometric pattern I want to have rotating externally and counter-rotating on the internal designs, which tbh I could probably write in like eight lines of COBOL or something equally outdated in concept, lol

@scribus Moho or Blender would be your best bets probably, with the latter you could just prep the images in Photoshop or something like that beforehand you could just import each element into Blender as a plane and just have the camera looking at them flat from above, with a sun lamp pointing straight down for uniform lighting.
-
@zeldatra 2 days into the demo and I think I may end up saying that I hate moho as much as opentoonz and I could have just made 360 god damned individual batcaveing exports from CorelDRAW by now for apple's kiwiing sake

I’m questioning the wisdom of airing a COVID episode during the new Futurama season in much the same way somebody twenty years older than me probably wondered what the hell that Bush tax cut episode was about
about 11 months ago from web-
@scribus More so in the sense that it was old news by the time the episode aired - the rebate was a pre-9/11 initiative, the episode aired in 2003, & even on the DVD commentary the writers acknowledge it was a bit of a dated topic at the time. Of course everyone gets the COVID episode, but it feels a bit LATE to do a COVID episode.

@scribus (I have been staying up way too late lately, that math should have been much more obvious)

@zeldatra oh, that would make sense. I'm terrible at comparative chronology or whatever, dates were always the worst part of history class lol

I just took and passed a SafeMark food safety exam as part of promotion training because it was faster than taking the 8 hour online training course. Have now been made aware that passing the exam does not mark the 8 hour online training course as complete in the system, so now I’m studying for a test I won’t take because I already took it and passed.

I thought this site was dead for the last 6 months cause I kept getting this error. I tried different browsers and devices and same thing but today it finally worked. Anyone else have this issue? http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/876377

@macpony55 I always get this with almost any browser I use. Only way I can get it to load conisistently is by using this macos app called fluid. Other than that it’s almost inaccessible for me lol. I don’t mind though, adds to the charm :)

@macpony55 Concerning. Looking into it

so like what should I post about on here? should I use it more like livejournal with long introspective effortposts about what’s going on in my life, or more like twitter and just spew off short little jokes and thoughts as they come? I feel like what excited me about having a place like this when I rediscovered it was being able to share my thoughts, feelings, and ideas without having to contribute to an already congested and overstimulating platform like twitter that vampirically feeds off your attention, but now I’m realizing I don’t know what I want to even say lmao.

Discovered an incorrectly programmed formula in my cigarette inventory book that causes the calculations to be off by anywhere from $100 to $300 every week. Looked through the other stores’ books and realized that the same error exists in almost all of them… which means that some of the other stores have been cooking the numbers because their final variances have been very small. Hmm.

@zeldatra One can only wonder how a summation can be borked. I don't know but how much does it differ from the expected "shrinkage"?

Today was evidently the one-too-many'th time I had to listen to my coworkers spewing various LGBTQ-phobias. Though, I did rant and rave more about the fact that they were standing around gabbing than the fact that I don't need to hear the rest of the crew blaming everything wrong in the world today on people I deeply care about.

@adiwan I *probably* shouldn't've said I had to leave before I killled somebody, but they definitely should not have said they'd use trans people for target practice, and their little death threats against my people came first so tit-for-tat yknow?

Futurama’s society has no conception of how, when, and where the moon landing occurred, but they have video of Rudy Giuliani putting a bunch of garbage on a barge and pushing it out to sea. What were the standards for the retention of information?

@scribus a lore tidbit that the show kind of ignores when convenient, which to be fair, is consistently how they like to do things over there

Overall it’s a fun time that I’d recommend as a co-op stealth game, but if you’re looking for something actually scary to play with your friend you might as well keep looking.

I'm close to buying a house: my current offer is at 225.000€ for a 88m² house with 4 rooms, 163 m² parcel. However I have to do a ton of work there to get it to a state that is up to current standards, like the electric switch box, the bathrooms, windows... The garden is also more a jungle than habitable. I hope I won't regret it.
about a year ago from web-
@scribus The garden is full of bushes and other stuff. The owners planted a fir tree relatively in the middle and it has grown so big that there is barely any room left for anything else. The first thing that has to be done in that garden is to fell the tree. Also it is such a kind of fir tree that is not even beautiful and full. It looks more like a skeleton of a tree with more branches than needles.

The biggest trap in"adult" animation is that it uses vulgarity and crass situations too often. It's easy to appeal to juvenile adults with "forbidden" stuff like violence and sexuality but the more lasting stuff are the more day-to-day real adult situations the characters have to deal with. These situations can be comical or otherwise but the basis has to be familiar and relatable and somewhat a base adult life experience. The earlier Simpsons seasons are one of the best as they are not flanderized to the extreme. Bob's Burgers is similar as most episodes deal with heightened but not completely unrealistic situations. I'm not against some violence but it can be grating and numbing and boring when it is used too often.

@chomper These days you can throw a stone and always hit one. The last one I saw was "Inside Job" on Netflix, mostly because it was produced by Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls) but it was sadly right in the valley of mediocrity because it went "adult" route and used unnecessary vulgarity.
-
@chomper Hey, I love "Helluva Boss!" I don't deny any of the accusations, lol. Just saying that uuhhhh..... I guess it's lazy *if* you're doing it for fauz gravitas, but it can still be fun. I wouldn't say that's *all* HB has going for it or going on; there's a lot of interpersonal relationship and character development under the bloodbath and pottymouth.
-
@scribus I like most of helluva actually! I just find the edgy humor to be boring and uncreative lol. But I genuinely like a few of the characters and the worldbuilding/lore.

@chomper It works for now. I was also surprised it wasn't blocked. I guess the user base is so low (and open source) that it doesn't make any difference.

Trying to hit a balance on content is frustrating to me because I don’t want to be vulgar for the sake of it but I also don’t want to be made to tone the adult themes down because the show’s not vulgar enough to appeal to adults. It just seems like there isn’t a market anymore for The Simpsons-level adult content that’s adult on a more conceptual level instead of just relying on vulgarity to appear adult, and that frustrates me.
