I didn’t expect it to work, but I hoped it would. But then again, even if it did go through, it would be business as usual with Israel mistreating Palestinians the same way they have been for decades.

The FDA says the proposed rule will apply to traditional cigarettes, roll-your-own tobacco, cigars and pipe tobacco.

Argh! I’ve been smoking pipe tobacco this whole time to save money and avoid additives. Why not force companies to stop adding dangerous and unnecessary chemicals to their products? And if they care about people’s health and the burden on the healthcare industry so much, why not try actually fixing the broken healthcare/insurance system?

I may have to try growing my own tobacco.

It is very stressful, especially coming from a more rural area. It doesn’t get too snowy here, but it does go down below freezing in the winter months. I’ll just have to get that room cleared one way or another.

Thanks for the interaction. Things are feeling less nightmarish than earlier.

It was just a small idle chat because I was out weeding at the time.

It’s okay for us to clean the trailer, but we just can’t throw out anything, and there’s a lot of stuff.

We’ve got one room completely cleaned, but the other one is dark, making it hard to see. Both are almost completely without electricity. It’s mainly just boxes piled up and black widows throughout. I know I need to make progress on the room before it gets truly cold, but I feel mentally stuck.

I’m so embarrssed and ashamed for losing my shit earlier. It’s like I have no control when that happens. Nobody needs a lunatic living next door. I wish I could live in seclusion -_-

Just had a meltdown in the trailer park. Yelled and broke a coffee cup, splashed coffee everywhere.

Still sleeping on the porch, it’s cold, my teeth have been hurting and I can’t makeart or do anyrhing else I used to like. If I could off myself easily I probably would.

I think ‘EEVEE Next’ is just the project name for a bunch of modernized changes, but idk.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that’s a good way to use geometry nodes for quick building layouts!

I wonder how difficult it would be to add floor moulding. It might involve needing to get edge data using a script, but it might also be possible to duplicate edges and find them using a special node group…

Looks great! Are you rendering with EEVEE Next?

Regarding the low-res textures: they don’t look too bad, but you could always blur the final image a bit and add a VHS filter like others do with Backrooms content. (But then all the other details would be obscured somewhat.)

Nice shot! Looks similar to the Riverside (CA) area.

For anyone not getting this reference it’s a fascinating, but sad story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Howe_Lovatt

UN aid operations halt in Gaza after Israeli evacuation orders: Official

A top UN official tells reporters the repeated evacuation orders have upended the organisation’s aid operations.

That looks like a blast, but I’d make sure the weather reports were favorable first…

Unfortunately you’re correct. Even if not everyone is funneled into the prison system, their belongings get taken away and/destroyed. Some even lose beloved pets. I imagine it’s extremely demoralizing having your life broken down to zero and having to rebuild again and again.

Either we get affordable code-compliant housing or we get affordable shanty towns.

Everyone who gives weapons to Israel (or money to buy weapons) did this. I finally got angry enough to write Biden a letter, but who knows if he actually read it or not (probably not, but I did get a reply). It didn’t seem to help much. All the protests aren’t helping much. What can the people do to stop the govenment’s support of Israel?

Definitely this. It seems MVs with a leveling system either aren’t popular, or are too hard to balance. Plus there’s the giant inventory of weapons and gear that would probably be too time-consuming to create for most game devs.

I’ve not seen that, but i will

Thanks a lot :)

Thanks! Yeah, it is familiar…

Here in the US the trash just piles up in landfills or gets shipped elsewhere. Some does get recycled, but not nearly enough.

In other sectors, we’ve got things like factories polluting poor minorities, and an airforce that can’t stop letting their forever chemicals leak into the environment…

Sounds like things are generally more progressive in Sweden, although the recent trends you mentioned are worrisome. It’s unfortunate some people are willing to sabotage our future for a slighly more comfortable present :/
