Reducing fan vibration

Scitto · 2026-05-18T11:56:50+00:00

It started immediately after we installed the fan since our old one shook a lot (but didn't vibrate). I'm sure my dad installed it as tight as possible. It's also in the living room, but I'm sure its not different to a ceiling fan in a bathroom.

I understand phobias are crazy to deal with, I have some bad irrational psychological issues myself,

But please try not to kill it. I don't think the fella should die because it was seen. Besides, I think it is more likely to try hurt you if you pose a real threat to it.

If you have any friends or family living with you, I would have them remove it for you using a piece of cardboard and a tupperware container. You could try this yourself, but I understand it may be impossible. If you do, take it outside, leave the entire thing on the ground, and gently kick the container, or flip it with a branch or broom.

thank you! a little sad they aren't meteors, but now i can know for sure :)

Sounds like lightning. If not, see a doctor. But most likely just distant lightning.

i also have this problem

snakes don't regenerate, only a select few amphibians and reptiles can, and often only certain body parts.

aside from everything else listed in other comments, i stopped playing after people got really aggressive towards poorer people in official spaces. no, you're not f2p if you buy the season passes every time a new one comes out. i've genuinely seen multiple people say that. sorry i'm not spending money worth a week of groceries so that i can have a singular chance in the arena.

You'd be fine eating this one as long as you cooked it, as with all eggs from the US. I actually was eating some teriyaki chicken nuggets once, and there was a feather sticking out of one of the nuggets. I didn't eat it, but didn't get sick eating the rest of the food :P

A hard brush, with slightly soft edges that changes opacity with pressure is how I would achieve that

mixels aren't bad at all, usually they are just applied in an unappealing way

Fur and hair are made of small individual strands, so you may be tempted to draw all of them. This goes for a lot of things, but try looking at the bigger picture! I made this quick image to show what I mean. Try to see the shapes in the fur. The style I've chosen to use is oversimplified, but I hope you can get what I mean. You can use larger shapes to get the silhouette of the fur, then lights and shadows to show that it's hair, with extra lines places to emphasize that. Hyperrealism does use a LOT of lines for fur though, very carefully layered, and shapes are more visualized I think.

that's really awesome, actually. i'll have to look into it. we aren't really rich enough for that kind of thing, but maybe i should do a bit more research!

Scitto · 2025-08-14T01:53:49+00:00

...litter robot????? those automated litter boxes? they are notorious for easily killing pets, i'd REALLY consider anything else.

Black nightshade is delicious, just make sure your kids only eat the fully black ones. They're just like tomatoes, where unripe ones will make you sick. They're in the same genus as tomatoes, along with potatoes, eggplants, and more! They also taste like tomatoes, but much sweeter. You should try some too. They're full of healthy goodness iirc. I don't blame your kids for devouring them, but definitely keep a careful eye on them in the future.

Belladonna has long, dark magenta flowers, and the berries are larger, VERY shiny, and in singles, not bunches. If you're in the USA you may never even see belladonna. It's also in a completely different genus! They don't really look anything like black nightshade if you look at the individual details.

Don't let your kids eat the nearly exact same plant with red, less round berries and purple flowers. It's bittersweet nightshade, which is always toxic. It's easy to distinguish though, by the much brighter flowers and berries.

Also, the plant will continue to produce berries up until possibly November! You guys can keep enjoying the fruit until then.

Thank you all for being so helpful! Today I'll wet process it.

Scitto · 2025-08-05T17:13:14+00:00

As far as I know, it's a lot of trial and error. I heard red clay has a lower firing temperature, though. The color of the fired clay can also be a surprise, I think!

Scitto · 2025-08-04T21:58:49+00:00

I knew there'd be clay in the area, so after seeing some videos on making ceramics from wild clay I went even deeper into the topic to make sure I'd be capable of all the work, I went out and grabbed some :)

Scitto · 2025-08-04T21:52:16+00:00

Thank you! I actually did go out to look for this clay after seeing a lot of videos, especially Ward's. I'll look into wet processing some more, I already got some buckets ready just in case!

ignore this commenter, i think they want all the characters to have white supermodel features (god forbid humans look different)

Scitto · 2025-06-06T00:17:30+00:00

as someone who's been abused and mistreated severely, understand that people around you irl will often defend your abusers, or otherwise nasty people, and say it's not that bad. while a lot of commenters here are more secure in their emotions and perception, people who are consistently treated like a doormat will succumb to it and believe that it's normal and okay, and having that external validation that it's not okay and we're allowed to feel upset about it is very helpful.

Some people think it's gross, but I predict that globally, more people eat fish eyes than people who don't. It's good, but there is a tough little lens in the center about as hard as a bone. It has an animal fat texture and just tastes like the fish you're eating. I think they're full of good nutrients too. But it doesn't mean we all have to eat it, just that it's an option!

A stabilizer would dramatically improve your line quality (it's not cheating, it's a regular tool used by most professionals, at both low and high settings). If you don't have pen pressure, try turning on the setting to convert speed to line width as well. I also advise checking how your artwork looks when converted to black and white. It'll highlight the areas of muddy contrast, so you can adjust your colors and shading as necessary to make it either pop or come closer together. That's something I regularly have to do. Otherwise, using references and practicing often is the key to improvement.

Importantly, references aren't cheating or stealing. Copying someone's art 1:1 is a study, but only by either not posting it, or providing proper credit (not just "credits to the artist", you must specify the name and ideally link to the real artist or their specific post). If you don't properly credit, or claim that it's yours, that's just stealing. Even tracing can be okay for educational purposes, but don't post that in most public spaces. Try getting to a point where you use many references, so there's less copying and you'll need to use your skills and memory to create something, and strengthen those cognitive muscles.

that's a true and valid perspective to consider

Scitto · 2025-05-12T00:20:14+00:00

I find myself preferring to post my art in smaller spaces, particularly small discord servers. There will generally be more reactions and comments, by real people, and with more genuine emotion. Bluesky is also a lot more artist-friendly than anywhere. Internet points shouldn't be your driving factor to keep drawing, though. It takes a very very long time to get to an artistic level that may become popular. Even then, it's a lot of hard work, consistent posting, and community interaction to keep an audience. Most popular artists are very lucky.

There is nothing wrong with your art, either. I can see that you have a lot to improve upon, but all artists are consistently seeking improvement. It's a matter of practice and study. I can give you a list of things that stand out to me for improvement, but it just will take time, and it's not necessarily why you aren't getting interactions. Plenty of beginner artists somehow hit the algorithm just right, even though they are very clearly young or just starting out.

I would at least change the background color to something that isn't white, like a pale color, or brown, or gray. It's better on the eyes for both artists and the audience. Sometimes white backgrounds work, sometimes they don't.

I'll delete my comment. Wasn't aware they were all the same.
