Nu-uh, jeans were invented in the 1850s to be sold to gold rush miners out in California. A Levi's commercial told me so. Same era had big hoop skirts. It was jeans and hoop skirts up until Disco.

Tiny Old Man Dog is asleep in his crate. He snores. He ate this morning, took his meds, used his pee pad, all good things. He'll get more wet food this evening, with chicken powder sprinkled on top so he actually eats. (he's lost his appetite in his senior years, and I want him to not lose any more weight. He weighed 10# as a preteen. He weighs 8# now. Dude, eat your food!)
I've used one before and it gave me useful feedback. Turns out 2 bowls of raisin bran will spike my blood sugar, which feels bad. (ok, not an Earth-shattering revelation, but near real-time feedback with numbers was neat.)
When I bought me house, I remarked that I appreciated that it wasn't freshly painted (there were dings in the corners) because I told me they weren't trying to hide something under new paint.
Like, I don't think it's AI, just photoshopped. I have an embroidery decorative frame very similar to this one, and the back of the frame shows through the front a tad, just like in this image. (at a guess, it's the Anchor 11.5" Faux Wood Oval Embroidery Hoop & Frame. I have the 7.5" in hand and the proportions on this image are wrong for that--the wood of the frame looks too narrow.)
I'm also unconvinced it's real. I'd like to see the back. Also, some of the stitches look like they might curve. Real individual stitches don't curve. It might be that there are many smaller stitches giving the illusion of a curve, but I can't tell at this resolution.
My dad died of COVID in 2021 after being in the hospital for a month, including a ventilator and a medically induced coma. I'm still mad when people deny COVID matters. I'm still wicked upset when someone asks me "but did he die of COVID or with COVID?" (technically, he died when he was removed from life support, so it wasn't COVID that killed him it was the lack of being able to breath. You got me there.)
Also, yes, he had underlying health conditions. He was 62. He was doing everything right---staying home, wearing a mask when he went for drive up groceries, waiting for vaccines to become available. The only way he screwed up was trusting his wife. His wife put her job above her husband's safety and went to a mandatory unmasked work pot luck breakfast in December 2020. It couldn't have been too mandatory---she retired 2 months later after my dad died.
It all goes into the background for normal day to day, but then something triggers it. And yes, I have a therapist. And yes, I'm still upset at the person that chided his wife that my dad's "mask didn't help him" while he was busy dying in the hospital.
There's a lot of trauma wrapped up in that whole experience. It's mostly scabbed over, but sometimes something picks at it, which doesn't help the healing.
I was just think that. Keeping a more-full fridge is more efficient because when you open it there's less cold air to fall out.
(I'm really putting my college-level thermodynamics classes to good use...)
That was me when I was, like, 15. I was between the "two sides". The Republicans I was surrounded by were nutzo, but I didn't know anyone more left, other than my parents who "didn't talk politics" (but generally were ok with the queers and not-whites in a nonspecific way). I toyed with the idea of anarchism because I hated being told what to do, settled on the label "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" with the asterisk that social programs tended to be cheaper solutions to issues than Republican. This all would have been around the hanging chad controversy. I think that's when I first noticed national politics.
Then I went off to college and my horizons expanded.
The 400 calorie day sounds like me before I started calorie counting, to make sure I at least eat a minimum of 1500 calories. I just don't notice when I should eat, and then food is hard to put together so I put it off.
Drink, on the other hand, I'm good at. I'm up to maybe 3 liters a day because salty water helps my circulation and makes me feel good.
Your story about overeating sweets and feeling like crap and not putting it together... that reminds me of taking a daily multivitamin with my lunch, then consistently feeling so very sick to my stomach an hour later. Took me maybe 2 weeks to figure out the pill was the problem. (I went back to Flintstones with iron, no problem. I'm hesitant to try an adult multivitamin again because I had such a bad reaction before. Plus, I like chewable pills.)
And the "lower sodium is more heart healthy" thing was, if I'm remembering a podcast I once listened to right, only consistently true for people that already had high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure people saw more mixed results with a low sodium diet.

I saw Krita was already suggested. Also give Inkscape a go. It's meant for vector graphics instead of raster. (like SVG vs jpeg).

Yes, I prize the "interesting problem" days. On the other hand, there are some days that I'm really not feeling it. Those days are such a slog.

Sounds like you need a better bra :p

You are! (if I'm reading my regex correctly)

but how deep could the not-cellar be before hitting high tide?
