Sure! Here you go :)

And here’s the whole image with the rest of my doodles:

Right now it’s these mochi I doodled:

“I’m so grateful you’re in my life.“

Still makes me feel…. Just wonderful.

650 years ago this place was a sea. So I’d end up having to swim at least a couple of kilometers. Considering the current sea temperatures, I’d probably die of hypothermia before I could reach the shore.

Bamboo rats feed on the underground roots of bamboo plants.
I’m not sure how much of an impact they make, but I can imagine they keep some of the growth in check.

Brain goes …

Oh there are so many weird pancake toppings around here:

Fun With A Pencil by Andrew Loomis.

It’s a fun book for beginners that mostly focuses on drawing characters.

It is an old book though, so it might contain some unpleasant caricatures further in.

I got an ugly scar on my pinky from a bullying incident at school when I was 12. It’s not like this was their intention, but it got out of hand and a door slammed hard on my finger.
I had to get rushed to the hospital, got stitches and a massive bandage for half a year.
The bullies never apologized and it got brushed off as an accident.

It’s a reminder of bad times during my teenage years and I still get sad when I look at it.

So… 😳

I have a domain with Njalla.
I ended up with them because they seem to take privacy very seriously.

Same for me. I like drinking white jasmine tea, but the flavor becomes too bitter if you pour boiling water over the leaves. It’s better to drink at 80 or even 70 degrees (sorry, don’t know the F one).

I used to make tea for my coworkers back when we had a team room and got way into it. I had my own little kettle, all kinds of tea leaves, a weighing scale spoon and even a thermometer :)
I learned that pre-heating your kettle was important for black teas because boiling water would drop to 90 degrees or even less if you didn’t.

Oh god yes, especially now that all of them use led lights. Mine still uses an old-fashioned light, which is great when you’re alone on the road because your night vision can deal with the rest. But I turn completely blind when an oncoming bike shines one of those led-lights directly in my face.
I’ve already ran off the path twice so far because I couldn’t see where I was cycling (it was at a bicycle path through the park without street lights)

I never played a lot of FPS, but I loved the Quake rocket launcher. It was fun to jump around with in multiplayer. But what I enjoyed most of all was the satisfaction of guessing when someone rounded the corner and having a rocket land at the exact same time.

What was so bad about PoE2?
I really enjoyed it myself, especially with the turn-based addition. It felt like I could really use all those area spells and abilities the way they were intended.

My job title is data engineer, but the organization I work at is small enough that it basically ranges from business intelligence to cloud engineering to data architecture to data science to whatever other thing is even slightly related to data :)

It might not cover everything, but here’s a nice list:

I’m a happy OpenSUSE user, but is there a mrs. Chad I can be instead? :)

I wouldn’t know about the hence part, but I always read it as “years from now”. A bit like the opposite from “years since”.
As for the other thing, it started out with deliberately engineered beings for specific tasks like the vacuumorph.
About a hundred years later the remaining people would create new humans with the specific goal of being able to survive the harsher environment of a ravaged earth. It was these that evolved further into different creatures.
It’s a pretty far fetched story either way, I just like it for the weird pictures :)
I posted a link in one of the other replies. You can read the whole thing there if you’re interested, there’s a timeline on page 20 if you just want a quick overview.
