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.

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.

I'm imagining something like a Quake rocket jump, and now I need to see it.

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.

The subscription does not go on sale. It's the same 15 shekels a month it always has been.

Races are entirely cosmetic. Classes are balanced enough that the content can be cleared using any combination of appropriate roles, although some obviously stand above others. Certain DPS classes are balanced around their raid impact (dancer, ninja), so their personal numbers are less impressive.

Controller use is 100% viable and designed for. The game is playable on consoles, so they made controller usability a priority. Macros can be used with a controller, but I personally never saw a need for them. You'll want a keyboard of some sort to type the macro script, and after that it gives you a button to map like any of your skill buttons.

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.

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.
