A penised person with an actual good idea for a pose? What is this!? Nice valves holy shit they're cute!

Ehh... Thinking more European or urban (us) parking lots where you have much less space between rows. Usually it's hard to pull forward into the spot in the first place because you need to swing the front versus pivoting the back.

You can practically park sideways at a suburban Costco without inconveniencing your neighbor.

Solution to space between cars is not using a double wide truck/SUV nor parking like a Tesla driver.

Yeah sure, same difference to me. Just not solid on for both.

I'm partial to blinking for charging and solid for charged. Allows single color LED which is cheaper. Then if you do use multi-color or RGB you can turn red for incompatible/error.

You can get into tighter spaces and it's safer when leaving the spot for pedestrians as the driver has better visibility. At last they did before side airbags.

This is legislated in the US. Just not enforced and cars became taller since the law was written (-3ft/75ft iirc, may vary by state).

In Scandinavia they actually care about this and high beam use is part of diver training. It's nice. Also semi trucks will happily blind you with a thousand Suns if you forget. So it's rare to get blinded in night driving.

I learned by playing StarCraft on 56k modem. VoIP was not possible so you had to type fast. Style is wildly non-standard but i was typing fast enough not to see a benefit from standard style.

Oh yeah that's a good call on the characters with rothfuss. Sanderson is solid though i still stand by that part.

Im the same with reading speed. You could try finding a block of time you would otherwise just be on your phone so it feels less an jnvestment (e.g. before bed, riding the bus, or break at work). I use e-books so i don't have to remember it and opening the book is as easy as social media. Finding something you WANT to read is hard too.

If you're into fantasy then branron sanderson is great. The Way of Kings grabbed me after getiing past the prologue (bonus points for women written decently). Alternatively Name of The Wind by patrick rothfuss. If only he'd finish the trilogy...

If you're wanting to take on a larger course and you're interested in drawing realistic human figure then i suggest Riven Pheonix's Invention of Man.

Each video is 15-25min. I do 1-2 daily. I watch animes for motivation.

It uses formulas for drawing the body(in too much detail) and slowly moves away from them. Probably overkill for anime figures or whatever but proportion and consistency are what i struggle with so a structured highly detail oriented cours is what works for me.

It's hyper-detailed(many will say too detailed) but also i would otherwise know where to put things like the rib cage, shoulder blades or pelvis bones, random muscles in a dynamic pose. This are the little details that i see in shows that motivate me.

It costs $45 but the first several are on yt.

Yeah the wiki is THOROUGH, syep-by-step, and will get you set up in most cases. With some Linux/CLI experience it can be straightforward, just not while also learning bash. You do need to be the type who can RTFM so to say.

Not nearly as difficult as it used to be. (Which is why i used to use Kubuntu many years ago)

Different distros have different hardware comparability (esp older hardware) and different maintenance requirements. Arch requires an update, check on arch page for further requirements, and possible follow up, as well as updates to AUR packages which are git based. Other distros are often "click update in GUI and forget". So for your main driver, maybe you're happy to do the extra work. But maybe not on other devices with varying hardware.
