This is what happens when we let foreign interests fund our politicians.
I have to admit I have no proof other than it wouldn't be the worst thing these kind of companies have done.
That, and as far as putting down any sort of 'grassroots' movement, making them look like fools is a move straight out of Freakonomics in regards to how the KKK was effectively out on blast by the Superman radio Broadcast of the day.
By showing how crazy and dumb the organizations 'secret codes' & 'rituals' were, their numbers dropped precipitously.
I'm still not convinced that these guys aren't being fronted by oil conglomerates to make real climate activists look like morons.
Considering that a US hospital will charge you a few grand for even looking in their direction these days, $2,500.22 for something serious, like seizures, sounds like a steal :(
They've been doing the same thing to Hospitals for years...
Ideally, it would be the same word over and over, so that we can trick the AI into ending all sentences with the word. Bonus points if it is the word "buffalo", since it can from a grammatically correct sentence.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
You are probably looking for something like a 'Dryer Wall Flange": https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-4-in-Dryer-Duct-to-Wall-Connector-EZDOCKHD/205046832
Damn, has it been that long already!?
That's the 'soon' I was referring to, I guess. He'd been working on another game in the same universe when he got the rights back.
Mentioned in this thread.
And I believe the designer got the rights back fairly recently, so I'm hoping for more of this!
Which ever episode it was were the main love triangle chick flipped her car in broad daylight on a mostly empty road with no traffic.
I realized that almost none of these characters would have survived the initial outbreak.
Suicidal death cult.
Technically, all ships are sinking bubble ships.
These ones are just designed to come back up afterwards.
I've had a lot of fun with Book of Demons, which is a bit more simplified, but really respects whatever amount of time I have to put into it!
Or worry about all of the asbestos, lead, and formaldehyde -laced building materials that were all of the rage in previous decades.
Ah, US. I'll have to try VPN'ing in.
Already out of stock. Non-US keys. I didn't realize they might be region-specific.
Make it out of balsa wood. That way it's biodegradable.
The only things in that range around these parts are going to be burnt out husks of a house with a cheery "fixer-upper" in the listing title...
Doesn't matter how similar it looks though.
The only way to tell is to open up both models and look at individual points of the 3d mesh. If their positions in 3d space match up to, say the hundred-thousandth of a decimal, then it is a copy.
But if the model was scaled or rotated or whatever, there would be no way to prove a case because there wouldn't be a match.
The same thing was done to prove games was lying about copying models from previous games when they claimed that it was too difficult to add all previous monsters into different games because their converter tool was giving them issues.
Did they say how they analyzed the models? Because looking at the silhouette and other similarities isn't enough to prove plagiarism when it comes to 3d models.
What you have to do is open up both the original and the suspected copy models and select a couple of similar vertices (the points that give the model geometry) and compare the position down to the decimal place. If they are even a little off, then it isn't a copy.
1 Month of world building prompt lists
For those of you who either don't feel up to the task of writing a story or something this month, here's a tool to at least get your project ready for the next month! I've created a couple of daily prompts lists to help with world building.
Regional / Fantasy Prompts: https://i.imgur.com/18NpKqD.jpg
Local Cluster / Sci-fi Prompts: https://i.imgur.com/2PVRBdo.jpg
Inktober Day 10: Airship Edition - Cluster Balloons

Some festive collection of balloons in the rain!
Inktober day 09: Airship Edition - Square Sails

Today we've got some majestic square sails and a neat crane!
Inktober Day 08: Airship Edition - Flat Hull

A silly and impractical design! Only really suited for short trips between islands.
I also did a turnaround of this one: https://youtu.be/LvwbJlO4Fgw
Inktober Day 07: Airship Edition - Double Hull & Harpoon Prow

Fought through a PC crash on this one! Don't think my rig likes the clouds XD
I built a Harpoon Prow and a double hull today!
Inktober Day 06: Airship Edition - Spherical Balloons

![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/77ad6c78-2eb1-432b-b5fa-d4a0089eaa1c.jpeg?format=webp)
Spherical Balloons today!
Figured I'd edit some existing pieces today, too.
Inktober Day 05: Airship Edition - Paddle Sails

A pretty simple one today.
This one's got some nice, calming, upper-atmospheric clouds hanging out!
Inktober Day 04: Airship Edition - Trireme Hull
![](https://i.imgur.com/cJnvNsz.png?thumbnail=256&format=webp)
![](https://i.imgur.com/cJnvNsz.png?format=webp)
A roman-esque hull today.
Also making an appearance is the Maelstrom, an ever-present storm that inhabits the central region in-between archipelagos in my setting.
!And here's a screenshot of my wireframe!
My geometry isn't the greatest, but it's fun, so whatever :)
Inktober Day 3: Airship Edition - Barrel Hull
![](https://i.imgur.com/Vz87nUm.png?thumbnail=256&format=webp)
![](https://i.imgur.com/Vz87nUm.png?format=webp)
This time with some birds!
I think I need to make a chubby barrel version at some point, but this fits my form factor.
Inktober Day 2: Airship Edition - Claw Sails
![](https://i.imgur.com/MHUj8v2.png?thumbnail=256&format=webp)
![](https://i.imgur.com/MHUj8v2.png?format=webp)
Some sort of Claw Sail-type propulsion today!
I might hold back on posting these everyday in order to not flood the channel with airships. But, I will post when I have enough new pieces to make a whole new ship.
That way I can spend more time on composition for the renders, too!
Inktober Airship Edition Day 1: Vertical Balloons
![](https://i.imgur.com/H3n7a04.png?thumbnail=256&format=webp)
![](https://i.imgur.com/H3n7a04.png?format=webp)
I've decided to challenge myself and build 1 modular airship component each day this month.
Today's build is a Vertical Balloon, everything else existed for a previous project, but as more pieces are modeled, it won't take long before everything is swapped out.
Everything here is modelled in Blender, with the occasional texture made in Krita.
A Little Ice Drake

Had fun with a blend. I'm tempted to deal it and try some shade, but I kind of like it like this.
Build a Setting in Only 1 Month!
Discover topics like worldbuilding, writing prompt, nanowrimo, and the magic of the internet at Imgur, a community powered entertainment destination. Lift your spirits with funny jokes, trending memes, entertaining gifs, inspiring stories, viral videos, and so much more from users like Clasm.
I've made a bunch of prompts to work with different scales such that I've can build up their setting with as little work as fleshing out a single prompt everyday for a month!
For each each day this month, choose a prompt from one of the Scales you need for your setting (Local, Region, World, System, Cluster, or Galaxy).
Alternatively, you can choose multiple prompts each day. The goal remains the same, chip away at various sections at your setting that one might not normally consider, and by the end of the month, you'll have a fairly fleshed out strong for any project you might have!
