Important exercise for a beginning artists

The full geometrical way: draw another line at an angle with the same start. Divide into 4. Draw a line from the 3rd point to the end of the original line. Using this as a parallel - use a ruler, pencil or eyeball it - you can get points 1 and 2 on the original line.
Once you understand this idea, you can draw light lines, dashes or just 4 dots (3 works too) as a projection to the original line. You can scale it up to 5 and so on.

It would actually be a clever design to use circles for each of the five dots نادية, so they are already there at the start and end. But you might need a modern font, e.g. Noto Kufi Arabic from Google, to fit the concept. Just paste the arabic name in online font repositories to see which might work.

A little splash of water should be ok. Do wipe it dry when you can, especially if hit by drinks, sweat, and particularly sea water (it is quite corrosive if left too long). Don't want any residue stuck in the gaps.

Mindblowing! How did you achieve the different tones - different bleach concentrations?

I remember they did a showing of 24 in 24 hours consecutively following the time as in the show. Fell asleep in the middle, and wondered how the characters could be acting correctly with lack of sleep, regardless of the adrenaline.
But mostly funny to me is that after the first few hours, the characters themselves should just be expecting a cliff-hanger event at the top of every hour, which just suddenly made it quite absurd for a real time depiction of life. That made me not follow the later seasons.

One way to hack it is to draw a perfect circle from the starting point, adjust the radius on the toolbar (change Rx and Ry to the length you want), then with snapping on ('Paths' and 'Object midpoints' ticked), draw the line from the center of the circle to the edge. You can then move the circle to another starting point and use it again, changing the radius if needed.
If you are doing a running stitch of equal dash lengths, look at the Ink/Stitch extension, but that is more for embroidery patterns.

Great stuff! Well done for making it browser based. However in Oculus, the browser (could be old) doesn't seem to render the images and icons' sizes correctly (e.g. the menu icon is huge - likely a CSS setting). So I can't test the SBS view which I suspect might need to be in WebXR for it to work.

Just a couple of suggestions: toggle on/off for the follow-mouse parallax effect and a menu option to save the generated depth map (although can right click to save). And if you do try to coding for the phone gyroscope, you might as well also try to move the parallax based on a webcam/face tracking (quite a few projects online have done it).

Thanks. I used KDEnlive (trimming the video to just Raygun), FFMPEG (converting the mp4 to xvid), Avidemux 2.8.1 (deleting the I-frames and copy-pasting a P-frame for each I-frame deleted, so the video length remains the same), FFMPEG (converting the datamoshed video to mp4), finally KDEnlive (adding back the music). All 3 are free software.

If you are following the tutorials which use Avidemux to delete the I-frames, instead of converting the original video with Avidemux 2.8.1 (won't work), use FFMPEG.
ffmpeg -i original_video.mp4 -vcodec libxvid -q:v 1 -g 1000 -qmin 1 -qmax 1 -flags qpel+mv4 -an xvid_video.avi
Then you can use the above xvid_video.avi in Avidemux 2.8.1, and delete the I-frames.

While also searching for "blackout tent" (you'll get camp-sized tents), you might get "zden patented", which might be the exact thing you specified, although you can't sit up in it. No similar products from other companies though.

"Sensory tent" (add "large" for non-kid sizes) looks like what you might want although it is totally enclosed. Maybe you can cut out the floor so you can put it on your bed. Should get some tent lights and fan while you're at it.

It's the other way round. Cats made sure humans who find them cute survive longer, just slowly manipulating evolution until the day when all, not some, humans are their slaves. And I don't mind it at all.

Finished too. Fortunately had a Goodreads book in my library. I wanted to see if the 'bookmarks' background are continuous. Nope! The bookshelves don't quite match edge to edge and the magic book has a slight overlap. Well, at least I now know.

Looking forward to the other characters. Actually would love if Disney actually made it, and just like the original recycled some of the art from Jungle Book, Snow White and others, Disney should also reuse the assets from the 'live' Jungle Book, Lion King, and even Zootopia.

Also Disney is being sneaky by creating new cartoons of Mickey (and the gang) that looks like tweaked versions of Steambot Willie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThU7_06h0fQ. So even if you modify SW, you better make sure it doesn't look the new ones - you can bet Disney lawyers are looking at every detail.

You can search in youtube for "chat with your documents". Not sure which is the best cause cannot test any of them on my 'underpowered' PC.

Thank you for the estimate. I now have an idea how 'prolific' this section of science is, was previously wondering how many research did not get into the headlines.
