The hardest part of sewing is the part I told you: figuring out where to sew and why. Second hardest is getting the thread in the needle.
Your first sewing lines will look like crap, and that’s okay, because they’re on the inside where nobody can see them. That’s why we turned the skirt inside out first. =)
Oh, and if you want to lean into the jank, you can use a stapler instead. Does the exact same thing as sewing.
If it’s just a matter of the waist sliding off your hips, you can usually turn the skirt inside out, make a triangle with the excess waistline being one side and the opposite point being the hem, and then sew the crease like that. If you have details you would like to keep centered, do it twice, one on each side, with half the excess instead. I’d probably do this at the sides, where your hips would be.
Once that’s done, you can decide if you want to remove the triangles or not. If you don’t, you’ll have the option of letting it out again at a later date if necessary, but you’ll have those bits of fabric on the inside to deal with.
If the skirt is pleated, you can skip the triangle step and just sew the waistline excess together.
These images, while very intricate and pretty, are not fractals, and actually show a very interesting limitation with AI nowadays. Image generation AI tools such as Stable Diffusion or Dall-E don’t actually know the meaning of the words you’re using to prompt them, they just have a pretty good idea of what sorts of things pop up if you search for those words.
A fractal is, by mathematical definition, self-similar. You can zoom into part of the smaller detail of a fractal and find the original image, and do the same with the details in the zoomed image, and so on and so forth ad nauseum. Computers are pretty good at making these, once they’re given the rules.
What the image generation bot has given you is an image that looks like a fractal, and that’s what it’s supposed to do. In the same way that large language models like chat-GPT will be very confidently wrong about the information it tells you, and for the same reasons, image generation AI should not be used for important topics that the prompter doesn’t already have some background information about, such as generating a map of some place the prompter has never been in preparation for a road trip.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Any soup is cool enough to eat on a first date. If your date gives you crap about something as inconsequential as what kind of soup you’re eating, your date should be discarded at your earliest convenience, because they have shown themselves to be an opinionated twat that will bitch about things that don’t matter in the slightest.
One thing the other comments aren’t mentioning that is relevant: this wasn’t free. A second-level spell slot was expended by someone to make this happen, and since this is your first big quest, it’s likely that it was a significant resource investment because you’re a low level.
Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
when there’s not a recognised disability involved but just health issue/s (which could be “disabling”).
From the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in regards to the ADA:
Under the ADA , you have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.
Essentially, if you are disabled, you have a disability, whether recognized or not. If you are not disabled, then you do not have a disability.
Under this definition, something like asthma, which is fairly common, can be a disability when it comes to strenuous activities, but isn’t something that is immediately obvious to someone just passing on the street.
As far as it being ablist to assume that someone not showing signs of disability isn’t disabled? No, that’s silly. Not believing them if they tell you they can’t run a mile because they have asthma? Still no, that’s skepticism.
Ablism would be something like planning a company outing, and choosing the location up a tall, steep hill when other options were available, specifically because you don’t like the fact that your coworker has asthma.
No, the problem is that Santos is both the Queen of Wales and the capital of Uruguay, so there’s a level of diplomatic immunity involved.
This guy is an idiot. I don’t have anything against LGBTQ people, but when it comes to medical stuff, you’re biologically male or female, because it matters for the sorts of health risks you might be susceptible to.
The problem with this line of thinking, as well as the point the OP’s meme makes, is that it’s drawing a line between the two in the first place, when in fact there can be significant overlap.
A quick dictionary lookup yields this for terrorism: “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.” Note that “especially against civilians” doesn’t mean it has to be, just that civilians being involved makes it a stronger case.
Now, you may have already spotted the issue, but here it is anyway: this is an incredibly broad definition. Laws don’t bind those in other states, so ANY act of violence or intimidation is unlawful.
So…freedom fighters fight using violence, against the laws of the country that claims sovereignty over them… so they’re terrorists. Full stop. This doesn’t mean that we should or shouldn’t support them, it just means that the definition of terrorism is pretty useless.
The rising tide lifts all ships.
My first thought was “trumpet”, so I’m on board with toot.
Graphics, as in graphical fidelity, polygon count, etc. are valueless to me.
Art style is everything. I don’t care if I can see the pixels in the game, I still play the same SNES my family had 25 years ago. The game has to look good, and graphical fidelity is a tool to help achieve that, but it’s only a tool, and useless without the appropriate art direction.
It’s not.
“Hey, look at that girl/car/tree/Chihuahua” isn’t a left nod. It’s eye contact, then you look at the thing.
“Come here/go there, let’s talk” isn’t a right nod. It’s a weird neck movement where your head is kind of sideways and you’re nodding in the direction of the place you want them to go. You usually use “Hey, look at that tree” first before you try to get them to go to the tree to talk.
Can confirm up and down are correct enough, though. Up is for people you know, down is for people you don’t.
This is exactly why I usually say it means “Something’s wrong” instead of “I want something” because the cat is perfectly capable of occupying un-pillowed laps, it just chooses not to.
I suppose in that respect, it does mean “I yearn!” but I’ve taken it to mean “Something’s wrong!”, with the nuance being that he’ll want his food bowl filled even if he’s not hungry or me on the couch even if he doesn’t immediately want a lap.
My cat knows exactly what it wants when it yells at me. I just had to learn how to speak cat.
The meowing is just to get my attention. Once walk over to him, he’ll walk over to the place he wants me to go. At that point I have to figure out what he wants me to do there, but it’s usually food dish/water dish/couch for lap sitting.
Neither count thou two.
c/196 has 1 rule: if you arrive, you have to post something before you leave. People have taken to putting the word “rule” in their titles to show their compliance, but it’s not strictly necessary.
Definitely not on copyright grounds, since almost all state flags (except Georgia, Mississippi, and soon to be Utah) are old enough to have entered the public domain.
