I think it's pretty well accepted that, even for a classically trained artist, the three most difficult things to paint accurately are human hands, a horse in motion, and the concept of epistemology.

The balls often get neglected. Give them a little gentle attention too. Basically, do the kind of things that would feel good if done to your breasts (cupping them, light scratches and tickles, a gentile squeeze, a medium tug, ect.). Combined with a halfway decent stroking or sucking, it'll take care of most guys in pretty short order. Any other questions you don't want to ask someone who you'll have to see again? Happy to educate. I'm a male nurse if that somehow makes it less weird.

Desensitized nerves along with depleted neurotransmitter levels.

Ya, but it's REALLY important to that person that YOU know that they are morally superior to you.

What kind of art do you do?

I was slightly intoxicated for large parts of the evening, but the one that jumps to mind is I was going to say I was the founder/CEO of a startup specializing in dog euthanasia to help reduce labor costs at kill shelters. We're in talk to be bought out by Google right now.

The funny thing, is that my wife had just been laid off from the company she worked for that paid for this, but the tickets and travel were already paid for, so we just went anyway. It was beautiful, because there would have been zero ramifications for pissing off the entire room full of suits.

 

My wife and I make okay money in a middle class area, but, due to a combination of good luck, and contrived to circumstances, we recently got to watch a college football game in the stadium's super executive corporate sponsor level suite. It was awesome. Open bar, amazing catered food, and people networking all around me who are clearly in the c-suite of their respective companies. I had a list of crazy things I was going to say if someone asked me what I did, but it never came up.

Hell ya dude. That sports group scores points WAY better than the second organization you mentioned. Whenever they compete, I loudly encourage those ones to accrue points just as you surely do. Teams, am I right?

Pro tip: It turns out that there's actually no legal reason not to just stick your face in there with them. They're cool with it.

Does it work in Helix as well?

 

It's been a long ol time since I've known any lesbians well enough to ask such things, but I followed my brain down a weird line of inquiry, and got to wondering about the current state of the art for the gay gals. I guess I had always assumed it was similar to the dynamics of a gay guy relationship, but then I realized that since men have both an input and an output, they can choose, but it's mechanically a bit different for cis women. Is there any relationship between that, and the slightly more masculine versus feminine flavors? Asking for a friend, who is me. I want to know. Thanks.

 

Sorry to be a bother, but I'm hitting a wall here, and my google-fu is not strong enough apparently. I'm trying to reinstall a Home Assistant VM on my server, (It's been a while, and I have no idea how I did it originally). Running: virt-install --name haos --description "Home Assistant OS" --os-variant=generic --ram=16384 --vcpus=4 --disk /home/chris/haos_ova-12.4.qcow2,bus=scsi --controller type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi --import --graphics none --boot uefi

Returns:

`WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu' WARNING Using --osinfo generic, VM performance may suffer. Specify an accurate OS for optimal results.

Starting install... ERROR internal error: Could not run '/usr/bin/swtpm_setup'. exitstatus: 1; Check error log '/home/chris/.cache/libvirt/qemu/log/haos-swtpm.log' for details. Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///session start haos otherwise, please restart your installation.`

Checking the 'haos-swtpm.log' shows repeated entries of:

I gather that it seems to be a issue with the vTPM, but I usually deal in containers, so this is all new on me.

Thanks in advance.
