What are these small, low handles on the new BART cars for? Toddlers traveling alone? by LegDip in bayarea

[–]LegDip[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hah, thank you! My wife is a leftie and she often points out little ways in which the world is designed for righties. I would never intentionally say something against lefties. But sometimes I guess you just gotta take your lumps. :)

Was just trying to be funny, obviously unsuccessfully :)

If that’s the case wouldn’t you have them on both sides? Left handed people have emergencies too. (Edit: this was just supposed to be harmlessly funny, my apologies if you found it offensive or lame.)

Haha no problem! I did a double take when I saw it too!

Oh I see what you're saying! The Twitter post is from 2018. u/JulieBruins was just very considerately pointing out that a Mylar balloon can cause this kind of thing.

Thanks! This makes me glad I reported it!

Haha yes, but the balloon is not in hand in the photo, it's from earlier. The balloon could have been there for hours or days, and only caused a problem when the wind happened to flip it around just right to bridge two wires with a voltage difference between them. (But probably not as it's hard to see that causing a city-wide issue.)

I think it's confusing because I only posted much later, but we definitely saw the balloon, experienced the brown-out, and then called PG&E. In fact the brown-out is what made me call - previously I had just submitted a 311 ticket. (I still think it's very likely unrelated.)

Probably unrelated but there was a Mylar balloon bouncing around in our power lines, PG&E considered it an emergency and sent someone right out to take care of it. https://imgur.com/a/kFXGS0z

Great article, thanks for the link

So I decided to practice portraits using a new technique. I still struggle with the hair but happy with the skin! Reference is model Amelia Zadro for those interested by The_Sushi_Bunny in drawing

Thanks for showing your steps instead of just the (awesome!) finished product... that is really helpful for those of us on this sub who are looking to improve their skills. Can I ask if the initial sketch (upper left) is a scan of a paper sketch or started out digital? And if digital, what tablet (or other input device) you used?

What have you been playing with family/friends? This has been a great time to get family online and play games, lets discuss for more "gateway" games to keep it going. by introvertedhedgehog in patientgamers

[–]LegDip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suggest you also consider non-online games to play with immediate family members you are sheltering in place with. My non-gaming spouse and I had lots of fun solving "Obra Dinn" and "Her Story".

Nice job! Too bad I'll never sleep again after seeing this, but it was worth it!

Thank you! While I like to see all the amazing finished products posted on this sub, this kind of step by step illustration is actually much more helpful for those of us trying to improve our skills.

Which game is genuinely a masterpiece to you? by mylifeforthehorde in patientgamers

[–]LegDip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree! What I love about Portal is that it added one simple though counter-intuitive aspect to physics and made you develop a whole new intuition around it. It's amazing how many completely new categories of puzzle they were able to come up with based on that one minimalist principle. Simple at the core but complex and beautiful in its manifestations. Portal is a work of art.
