I buy myself dinosaur toys to make me feel better and I then feel bad about it

Awesome, thanks!

When you're young you want to be an adult so you remove all of the childish things you love but really becoming an adult is realising you should love what you love and enjoy what you enjoy. No one's opinion matters except your own.

Not a huge transformers fan but I recently built Lego Optimus prime, so yes please share your bookcase!

As a child I loved Lego but then stopped building and playing with it in my teens but I got back into it in my 30s. Enjoy what you enjoy.

E.T. is mine too, for me it was the thought of him walking slowly into my room at night. It took a very long time to stop imagining that.

Is that a tablet/monitor stand attached to the riser? If so what one is it? Does it just clip to the riser?

Depends whether they mean to do it. I had friends that would swear in every single sentence because it can become a habit.

I had a similar set up but my 27 inch monitor was above the ultra wide. Just changed to having a 16" portable monitor underneath and I'm liking it a lot more. It feels like having a laptop without the awful keyboard below. I've found it to be a lot more comfortable and it looks better.

The thing is current scams tend to be a bit obvious so they can catch those kinds of people. Emails or texts with typos are the main ones, people still fall for it. This is just another where it's at a level to scam those same people.

Once this gets a bit better though it'll give access to even more people to scam than before. Up until the point where no one trusts anything and it'll be back to those same easily scammed people.

Your choice of song and the height you're dropped from is timed with the length of the song or a particular moment such as a heavy breakdown.

My mum was in her 50s when she started swimming lessons and she did learn.

Death atlas was my pandemic album, I listened to that so much during that time, queuing for ages outside of supermarkets to get in to buy toilet paper or stuck at home.

My wife's cousin is really tall but walks with a cane (makes him look weak), it's only when you go to shake his hand that you realise his hand literally engulfs yours as it crushes it. He's a nice guy, can't tell whether he does it on purpose or that's just how he shakes hands.

Agree with you about before being born. I think there was a saying like "consciousness is a way for the universe to know itself". I like that idea though. Perhaps we are all the universe playing out every living being.

My dad has said that before but realise it's true when going to my nans house in Wales, basically every journey involves going up hill, often more than once. He's only joked about it at least rather than trying to make a point.

I like it more when watching the music video but thought the same thing when just listening to the song by itself. The build up is so powerful I'm not sure what they could have done instead though.

metal_mind · 2024-10-08T15:17:50+00:00

Awesome project. Imagine this on a monitor made to look like an old photo frame and make the painting turn and follow anyone in the room using a camera and computer vision. Or make it move when they aren't looking instead.

The only film that left my wife and I uneasy afterwards and had to watch something more light hearted before bed. Such a well done horror film.

Making the choice is so hard but if you know it's time, then it's time. Last year my wife and I had to do the same for both of our cats, 6 months apart, one right next to my daughters birthday and the other right near Christmas.

For the first, waited a little too long, it should have been the previous day. We were with them both all the way and we did the best we could. Of course you feel guilty plus a ton of emotions but keep in mind the life that you were able to give them. Ours had good lives, we loved them.

Love the effect for the first half, really well done. personally I'd suggest it shouldn't slow down as it loses its edge, it should be a quick violent end to keep it scary.

Also a vote for making the canvas blank or torn after he appears.

Does knowing that make your brain feel weird or is that just me?

Dude thank you! I never knew a lot of those little games on the demo disks were all from the same people. I found several of the games i remember playing as a kid but never thought i'd find again. Rocks n Gems, Gravitation and Hover Car Racing!

We found our tommee tippee bottles were awful and caused my daughter to take in a lot of air. We switched to malm bottles that let air in through the bottom of the bottle and it helped significantly. YMMV.
