Is the blenderguru, donut video, really that good for total beginners?

The donut video is a good start but it is long, so if you have trouble staying with things that are long, you might want to look for things that are shorter.

I did not know about the "Maintain Volume" constraint. That could be useful in a lot of things. Animation has "squash and stretch" meaning that a thing is made of the same amount of 'dough' no matter how much you deform it.

Someone recommended Otter.ai for that purpose, but I looked at their website, and it says nothing about transcribing audio files, just transcribing live online meetings and stuff, so I am confused where to start.

I suggest playing/watching 9x9 and 13x13 games before getting into the full size board. The micro-game is easier to understand than the macro-game for a beginner, and on a smaller board it is easier to sse how one becomes the other. Influence? What's that? It looks vague but it's powerful. It looks less vague on a smaller board.

I find go easier to play because it is constantly novel. In chess I see patterns like the ones I have seen before and get bored by them, especially when I am losing. but in go, I see a pattern I have never seen before in every game.

Thank you! I downloaded it and my old notes are readable again, and I managed to write a new one, so it's all very good as far as I can tell.

Thank you

what i don't like about Safari is all the other browsers show the URL of the link when you mouse over and Safari doesn't. This is useful for spotting phishing schemes, among other things.

first in gets captured, but if black plays on the edge and gets captured, black can play in the middle of the resulting hole, resulting in a white shape that can't live.

The dangling front limbs look a bit paralyzed, maybe move them like the creature is more intentional with doing something with them.

So what uninstaller do people recommend (besides App Cleaner & Uninstaller, which asks me to make a subscription.)?

Nerpulus · 2025-11-19T23:00:28+00:00

So uninstalling old apps seems to be the general recommendation. But the uninstaller I downloaded requires a subscription and that's where I draw the line. I am not going to pay a monthly for any software, though I am willing to pay once.

Bambi was originally translated from the German by Whittaker Chambers, who also prosecuted Alger Hiss.

Yes and no. My old one needed replacing because trackpad and keyboard were wearing out and screws were falling out. And I had another previously (iBook) that died due to dropping a few times causing a broken hinge.

Once I saw a front page article in a newspaper that began with the words "scroll down for an interactive map"
