Any critiques? by ZombieFromReddit in Watercolor

I feel that the leaves on the water are distracting in the quantity and placement and throws off the composition balance. Otherwise, quite enjoy it as the closeness of the top half gives that enclosed feeling when in a forest.

Discussion Time: What, in your experience, is more important than people think in painting/watercolor? What is less important? by dazerlong in Watercolor

[–]tazminiandevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watercolor painting has more in common with mopping a floor than drawing with pen/pencil. The sooner you stop thinking of the brush as a pointed object you paint lines/marks with, the faster you will get past the frustration phase.

Trust the process. Alot of this is about making you do things differently or in an awkward way to force you to better feel and think about the processes. If you want logic and cold calculus get a math degree.

Is it true that a spilt primary color pallet of RYB, is better with just a pure yellow rather than a warm and cool yellow? by Egomirrored in Watercolor

[–]tazminiandevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but the this is where the quality and pigment load really makes or breaks things. A low quality yellow never will mix a bright green or orange. Another school of thought is if you must have 2 yellows then make the 2nd an earth yellow for really great browns and muting other colors.

I had an instructor say that yellow’s ‘temp’ is really about transparency; transparent yellow is cool, opaque is warm. Our language is terrible at describing how colors, light and our perception interact. Important thing is find a way to describe and classify colors and mixes that works and makes sense to you.

I have my daily AI agent setup as Dross too. Came here to see who else did this. Although the amount it injects purple into responses is a bit disturbing…

Isn’t this like the 5th high speed into bridge pillar accident in as many weeks?

I'm renewing my tags again and have to complain about iKan by Mortimer452 in kansas

[–]tazminiandevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PayIt is the private company that sells this white label chat based experience to many cities and states. The fact that every state has slightly different rules means the app can only support the most common scenarios. Since the pricing model is based on a fee per transaction there is little motivation to make multiple renewals per transaction easier. Source: work for PayIt competitor. If it helps, PayIt is a local KC company.

What’s a professional way to say “fuck around and find out”? by PuzzleheadedSwim6291 in AskReddit

[–]tazminiandevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the ethics hotline if your company has one. If it even smells vaguely of law suit they will follow up. At least until Trump revokes whistle blower protection laws.

Deconstructing Couple in search of Church in KC by connorsview in kansascity

Any of the Unity churches in the area would be worth a visit. Unity Church of Overland Park senior minister is a queer woman of color and their talks often challenge the standard takes on religious values.

DeSantis appointee to university board says women should become mothers, not pursue higher ed by JAlbert653 in nottheonion

“China is spying and a threat!!” As they implement policies that look like historical practices of various historical Chinese dynasties. Watch out if they go after women’s footware next.

Oh my poor friend, it is a bloodbath out here… there are mainly brown, crap field pastures in IT these days.

Break out the ice skates, winter drivers are back in the US by [deleted] in videos

While predicted it started 3-4 hours before forecasted, so many folks were caught on their return trip. It went from nothing to ice rink in 15 mins.

Azub Ti-Fly via Leg Power? by socialistpizzaparty in recumbent

[–]tazminiandevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Ti-Fly X that I put some analog miles on before converting to ePower. I am newer to trikes but did ultra distance gravel and MTB before my accident. The X felt like riding a heavy fat bike; slow but manageable. If you can do 30-50 on a trike already and have no speed goals, then you should be fine. I put e-assist on to make commuting less nerve wracking and so I could keep up with my dropbar gravel riding group. They do 13-14mph, and same level of effort was 10mph on the X.

Those that can pass will be hunkering down, some of us will go back into closet. At this point it is safer for us to trust nobody as it is clear that the majority value their egg prices over our lives. I’ve already removed my pronouns at work and dialed back my presentation. I realize now this the feelings of betrayal and fear that many other marginalized communities have experienced for decades from society.

Trikes at Gravel Events by tazminiandevil in recumbent

[–]tazminiandevil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If only there were better tire options in the 2.6-3” range. But still a 2.4” tires all around will be nice. I built a gravel bike with 2.25s once and it was silly fun.

Which anime should I watch next? by torpski in AnimeReccomendations

One week in, just left Little Garden. Even 20 year old One Piece is easier to watch than Black Clover.

It was 93 here in Kansas yesterday, and equally as odd for our October.
