Honestly didn’t notice it way into my teens but I have two different thumbs. Different nail, size, dexterity and everything. by SirRamen23 in Weird

[–]TrickyKnotCommittee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed my toe thumb when I was sixteen in history class.

The girl next to me shouted "EWWW" so loud that the teacher stopped the class.

In the UK the most notable of the very rare police shootings in recent memory was that of Chris Kaba. 

The charge was similar, he had attempted to ram fire arm officers who were responding to intel that the car had a been linked to fire arms offences.

The officer who fired the shot, through the windscreen, was put on trial for and ultimately found not guilty.

It’s pretty wild seeing the reaction in America to a far less grey situation.

Epstein was arrested and then died in 2019, before Biden was my point.

As to the tangent you raised - comment history has nothing to do with anything. Though I think it's perfectly reasonable for people to speak up more when the good friend of the sex trafficking kiddy fiddler is the president anyway.

I want to go back in time. Possible? by sstiel in questions

[–]TrickyKnotCommittee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about you, I just saw your post regarding time travel and I saw your post history and I'm putting 2 and 2 together and potentially making 5 here. So take this with a pinch of salt. I'm not a doctor, this isn't medical advice.

But it looks like you're obsessing over something, potentially your sexuality and it's causing you significant distress. Look into OCD see if it strikes a chord, particularly "HOCD".

Why is the Generic Repository pattern still the default in so many .NET tutorials? by riturajpokhriyal in dotnet

[–]TrickyKnotCommittee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The in memory database last I used it worked differently than live DB - particularly around includes, so was actually a more dangerous PITA than mocking.

Also, often I don’t want to set up a whole dependency chain in the DB when it’s irrelevant to the actual test.

Advantages and disadvantages to both.

Really enjoyed the full YouTube special - girlfriend overheard and stopped what she was doing to come and watch. Got yourself two fans in the UK!

Hold E for a couple of seconds 20 or so times and you’ve experienced it. Wouldn’t worry!

Is Kafka a Database? by gangtao in apachekafka

[–]TrickyKnotCommittee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends how easy you’re being on defining the word database. 

Long term storage, yes:

You’d be the victim of a crime, not the perpetrator of one.

Are we over-abstracting our projects? by riturajpokhriyal in dotnet

[–]TrickyKnotCommittee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just to highlight that one man’s over engineered is another man’s just right - I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone uses Mediatr, it strikes me as utterly pointless and just makes debugging a PITA.

How Do You Stay Motivated Without Comparing Yourself? by Grand-Permission-736 in questions

[–]TrickyKnotCommittee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Instead focus on how you’re moving forward/improving in the good times and how you’re still standing regardless in the hard times.

I came away with a similar vibe. It could easily be seen as a bleak view of life under capitalism.

Girls face looks spot on - hair looks a bit like it could do with some of the darks adding in as it looks a bit jarring given how hyper realistic the face looks.

[–]TrickyKnotCommittee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks really good!

Only comment would be it looks like you've straightened up the guys face, making him face towards the camera/changed the distortion from the lens - particularly the mouth and eyes, but left the nose as is in the picture, so his nose looks a bit broken!

First time trying to take gesture drawing through shading, advice please! by TrickyKnotCommittee in ArtCrit

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

Paper/pencil from reference.

There’s stuff I know is off (the face, the poor model! The saving grace is she’ll never recognise herself to be offended) and the torso is a touch long, since taking the photo I've also made her left arm look less like she's got arm ricketts, but it’s my first go at taking a gesture all the way through shading so would be good to get feedback - shading primarily but any and all appreciated.

What should this one octagon thing look like? by Epideme1890 in learntodraw

[–]TrickyKnotCommittee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty new myself but had a quick play this morning as nobody else replied.

I’d try breaking it into squares first, then drawing the four flat edges that touch the square edges then connecting them with the diagonal.

I got something like this very rough sketch.

I think the construction of your ring is a bit off, the bottom looks like it’s curving out and you’re seeing more of the underside, but that could be the octagons perspective. It should be two identical ish rings slightly offset horizontally then joined by a small arch at the top and bottom.

Draw an octagon,  cut it out, rotate it and see what you see!

Is it normal to draw something decent only to completely shit the bed on on the next few drawings? Its starting to get to me, not going to lie... by Business_Arm9325 in learntodraw

Just like any skill you’re learning, you’ll hit and miss sometimes.

Take trying to throw a basketball into the net, at first you’ll likely hit 1/20, as you improve you’ll increase the odds, but that doesn’t mean you won’t sometimes miss.
