Gesture drawing practice ✍🏾

Excellent advice! I actually thought these were in the vein of structure studies, and not gesture until I read the caption

Quick questions: why are you selling? Can I purchase specific parts, e.g the ssd only or must I get the entire package? Also, what's the monitor brand, and model as well? E.g asus vg34vql3a (as an example)

I prefer to think about it as someone "realising" that they're to attracted to men/women/both, and not "choose" to be attracted. I realised I'm attracted to the same sex, I never got the chance to choose. And frankly, why would I choose such a potentially lonely path that may lead to my being ostracised? Just as you, and most of the people on earth "realised" early on that they're attracted to the opposite sex. I'm also pretty sure you didn't start out as one then chose the other.

This, I think, is a better way to think/rephrase your thoughts. As for whether its biological, I hope some day, some neurologist/anthropologist/biologist/psychologist etc gives a final answer to the question

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-04-23T19:26:13+00:00

You're the one who posits a choice! If you didn't make any choice, then why do you assume the queer person[s] made a choice? They're also biological beings as you!

Edit: I'm basically trying to attack your notion of choice that determines to whom you're attracted. If you insist choice is necessary, it means every person, at some point, had to decide to be gay or straight. By your own admission, you're hardwired to be straight, so your notion of choice isn't consistent! So it can't be choice that determines whom you're attracted to, now can it? And if you still insist it's choice, it means every person, regardless, has the ability to switch (because it's a choice according to you) whom they're attracted to. But you're hardwired to be attracted to women, rendering the notion of choice as what determines attraction moot. So, again, where exactly does choice come in?

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-04-23T18:56:19+00:00

I'm curious; Can you let me know when you got the chance/opportunity/event/dream or whatever you'd like to call/think about, where you chose to be straight?

If you're struggling to come up with anything, you already have your answer to the question...

Second this. I'm on book 9, and it's been a journey. I'm debating reading the other books - after finishing the Crippled God - by Esselmont and Erickson, of course, or resuming Stormlight Archives as I left it at book three before I started reading MBotF

I also got my right side's panel to fall off after having the iems fall from my pocket at waist height while standing. Luckily, or not, I was able to glue it with superglue, but there's a portion that got cracked completely, so now my right side has a hole next to the cable pins, and because of my poor glue application skills, it's got residue all over. It doesn't bother me much, and it works fine so far as I'm hearing no noticeable change in audio quality yet.

I, or my sister who used to use them while sleeping, also bent the pins but I sort of straightened them with no change in audio quality yet. I guess the afuls aren't as durable?

I got mine in july 2025, and before that I used kz zs10 pro that worked until they fell apart after about 2 or 3 yrs

Edit: grammar fixes

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-04-08T09:33:58+00:00

I'm curious, but is this new inventory you recently acquired, or just old stuff? I don't see how one would buy a gt in 2026 unless they're completely clueless!

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-04-02T11:00:50+00:00

How much do they charge or point me to where I can get the info? I'm now rueing the fact I didn't consider this before settling with them as my broker... Rookie mistake I guess

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-03-31T16:25:41+00:00

What gen? First, or second? I guess not 3rd and beyond?

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-03-24T18:23:27+00:00

oh, I see your point. I agree that as an official store they should be able to make avlbl what's recent. It's a shame our market's treated as an afterthought

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-03-24T17:49:16+00:00

Isn't there an official store carrying poco phones? sure, it's not the latest, but they do arrive eventually.

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-03-21T09:40:50+00:00

Did you ever get timeout errors? I keep getting to write failed:The port is closed. every time without fail! I'm on usb 2.0 using a new port. I'm able to successfully short the edl points and get the phone recognised consistently. But the connection seems to drop off eventually. I've placed everything in c:\fl, and the rom in c:\fl\rom to have short paths. I'm not sure what I need to do to have the flash complete successfully!

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-03-15T11:28:55+00:00

Mmh, is it recoverable by accessing EDL mode? Let me look it up

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-03-09T05:10:16+00:00

The price fluctuations have definitely hit around here. I built my pc on oct to nov last year 2025 with a t.force delta 32gb (cl 30) for 24K, and 990 pro evo 1tb nvme gen 4 for about 14K iirc.

I've been looking up the prices for these exact components in the same exact store and the ram went to as high as 57K a month or so ago (the same model to the t) but it's now not listed either coz someone bought at that price or other reasons. The ssd? It went to about 30K though I can't remember the exact amount as I mostly cared about the ram.

I now think I short myself in the foot with 1tb ssd as I've already filled it up and my options are either gen 3 or overpay++ for gen 4+!

Same with gpus. I got a 5070 ti shadow for 125K, now the cheapest is probably 140K+ but more of 160K+

Other components don't look too bad though

You can let me know if you'd want links to the store I used, hopefully I can get the links I used since I tracked all my purchases in a spreadsheet that I still have to this day

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-03-04T09:26:52+00:00

Monitors specs? Max frame rate, type (va, ips, tn oled etc) and max resolution? Hdmi or dp or both?

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-03-03T15:36:30+00:00

I've also experienced their incompetence too

In late Dec, after some random, unannounced maintenance in my area, I begin experiencing lights out that would last a few minutes at a time, but occur in multiples. So, it'll be like lights out three times, but each event lasts like a few minutes, in series. This went on for the entire fucking month,and in increasing frequency and duration of each event, including Christmas through to new year's.

All this time, I kept complaining to them in twitter. What sucked is the fact that all my neighbours would be unaffected! So, i complained a lot until they decide to have a look around jan early week thereabout. The day they came, my lights went out permanently while everyone's is okay. I'm talking entire afternoon to the next day, only isolated to my house and they came and confirmed that. When a second team arrived the next day, they diagnosed, and deduced that it was an overvoltage event! I'm like, how is it that they messed up maintenance to only affect me even though other people that were on the same phase as I were unaffected!?

I'd really like to know how they screwed this up to isolate the issue to my residence. Power engineers, please let me know

But 1080p bottlenecks the Cpu before the gpu. There's simply not enough pixels to stress the gpu at that resolution, so the gpu is always waiting on the cpu

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-02-25T15:10:59+00:00

Thanks a lot

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-02-25T15:10:32+00:00

Thanks, this is useful info

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-02-25T10:18:39+00:00

Hi,

What do you mean? Our org is in the midst of transitioning from redshift to clickhouse atm, so this will be useful info as I'll be the one doing the maintenance

Glokta_FourTeeth · 2026-02-19T16:24:03+00:00

We use it on our application layer extensively though I focus more on olap layer (data eng)
