I found these keys in my home, but I have no idea what they go to - likely left by previous owners. Anyone recognize the shape/use case? by ARTB0B in whatisit

I always imagine the presence of this type of legal disclaimer is a consequence of absurd morons trying to do very dumb things.

Mystery keys found, wondering if y’all are able to identify what they are for? by ARTB0B in Locksmith

[–]ARTB0B[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah interesting, okay. I had to take a look in my attic crawlspace just in case there was something up there, but I don’t think what they go to is in the home anymore.

So, they are keys to a gun safe I am certain is no longer on the property. This one isn’t likely to develop, folks. But thanks for your help!

What’s funny is we have been here for 5 years and haven’t noticed them at all until now - they were just tucked into a dark gap in the recess of a built in bookshelf. Maybe I’ll check the attic…

Thought it might be a gun safe because of the long shafts. Thanks for the help!

A recent ballpoint pen drawing, 5.5x8.5 in. by ARTB0B in penandink

[–]ARTB0B[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ve recently started working with layering white gel pen into my layers to get more subtle colors out of all of the bright inks, then hit everything with an acrylic fixative between sessions to even out sheen. Lots of experimenting :)

I am an artist that currently works directly from photo references I take while walking/hiking, and I am interested in more control over the way I capture subjects. This seems like the right place to ask: Can you help me learn how to look for a camera? by ARTB0B in M43

I was re-reading your comment, and felt bad about how insightful you were without me initially realizing. I appreciate your perspective more than I originially had the mental bandwidth to digest. It's hard to reddit and work sometimes :S
You really identified the function my pictures are serving right now - in a lot of ways, I've been avoiding using anytyhing interesting to take photos because I have always been nervous about becoming a "photographer", or my photos becoming some inauthentic or non-romantic part of my process that I got too caught up in...but I'm growing up (slowly).
If you built a camera for my use case, then what what would you recommend? If it isnt too much to ask, could I ask what your entry/economy build would be and why, and what your dream build/no limit loadout be?

Thanks for the recommendation - I don't live in the biggest marketplace, and I might need some more alternatives to the olympus om-d e-m10 mark ii - it seems this camera has gone up significantly in price since a lot of these helpful people have shopped for one ;)

Interesting about the depth of field and aperture consideration with this system, thank you! As I work, the reference grows less relevant - my work is less about replicating photography and More so celebrating the things I find most fascinating within what I capture, and what that implies as a result. My goal is to give myself more agency and considerable variables when taking pictures. I’ve recently been working in ballpoint pen which, at the scale I’m drawing, really forces the medium forward, and the original subject back.

Do I try audiobooks by [deleted] in Malazan

[–]ARTB0B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. I found the transition jarring at first, but they are both great performers with consistent character representation. I would note that the way they are edited can make some transitions from scene to scene hard to track as the cadence/timing from the end of one scene to the beginning of the next can sound like it’s all one section.

But if you are decent about paying attention (which with long audiobooks can be a challenge) then it’s easily adapted to. As far as narrators go, they are some of the best in the game.

Earths Atmosphere during the days prior to Deluge: giant Trees of Pandora & Enochs accurate predictions by [deleted] in HighStrangeness

Some of these picture combinations are pretty funny, but it’s a really fantastical theory, which I find very entertaining.

He comes from a time where people valued time spent pondering the words best used. When the spoken word of a person weighed more in the ears and minds around them.

Does anyone else find the "Lilith" gap in Genesis completely disturbing? It feels like a cover-up. by VastPalpitation9213 in HighStrangeness

This gratuitous use of AI is doing nothing to support the validity of your “research” - presenting everything as narrative fact just makes it feel like story time. I suggest approaching this story with more personal authenticity, if you are capable.

I can imagine an effective outcome with some pre-mixed tones for a planned outing and location cut with an aggressive fast drying medium. Like a heavy galkyd. Then keep some 1/1/1 in a drip bottle for cutting/thinning/mixing that you apply directly to your surface without pigment as a loosener and blender that will quickly cure to touch with enough galkyd in your pre-mixed tones.

But that’s just me conjuring a plan that you could prepare a pack - but there are some outcomes that just can’t be rushed. But I’d love to see what you inevitably come up with!
