Comments: Purchased three years ago as a mate for Pixie, my first gen Obelisk. His primary and secondary colours reverse hers, and his tertiary makes their range run all the way up into the blues.

I loved how dramatic of an appearance his initial genetics worked out as.

His name is an auspicious Chinese lion-dragon mythological creature, said to have the head of a dragon, the body of a lion, and feathered wings, which certainly comes close to describing obelisk dragons. It was also in part a nod of the head to China’s successful manned rocket launch that same day; clearly an auspicious event.

And now, exactly three years later, he’s been changed to be one of the new fathom dragons, which kind of throws the lion-dragon connection out the window, doesn’t it?

Kb. másfél éve foglalkoztat egy ábrázolásos koncepció. Apránként hozzá- meg hozzáteszek, csak közben meg kell ugranom egy csomó technikai buktatót. (Kezdjük mindjárt azzal, hogy másfél éve adatokat még csak Excelben gyurmáztam, úgyhogy készségekre is gyúrni kellett.)

Az egész egy sima napkelte-napnyugta diagramból indult, de kíváncsi voltam, hogy nézne ez ki körkörösen ábrázolva. Az megvolt, hogy nyilván olyan lenne, mint egy főtt tojás kettévágva, de nem voltam benne teljesen biztos, hogy hogy alakulnak a hullámok - pláne különböző szélességi körökön. Úgyhogy ez lett a Sun Avocado Project. (A tojás túl snassz.)

Túl azon, hogy ez a nyamvadék Föld gömbölyű geoid, ami felvet problémákat, még a polárkoordináta-rendszerekben való ábrázolás sem olyan csettintésre menős, mint elsőre gondoltam. Nem csak a szögek miatt, de a mindenféle pythonos meg R-es ábrázolós könyvtárakra épített kódok is gyorsabban bogarasodnak, ha kilépek a Descartes-féle XY-tengelyekből. Végül a Plotly-val jutottam el legtovább. Bevallom, a múltkor sem a földrengések érdekeltek. Pont semmi értelme órák szerint ábrázolni az elmúlt 28 év rengéseit, viszont az egyszerűbb volt, mint ez a körkörös vonaldiagram. Így a fokozatosság elve alapján előbb azon téptem ki a hajam, mielőtt ennek végre nekiugorhattam.

És most, másfél - nem folyamatos - év tökölés után eljutottam oda, hogy avokádóm nincs, viszont van kétszer négy koncentrikus krumplim. Ez pedig kb. az első lépés abban a projektben, amit apránként meg akarok csinálni.

Viszont van kétszer négy koncentrikus krumplim! Ez egy akkora dopaminlöket volt tegnap este, hogy csak ültem és megigézve bámultam őket. Rájöttem, hogy még így, kontextusból kiragadva is tök jól néznek ki.

Minden egyes ívmásodpercükben benne van egy halom tanulás, egy halom kudarc és egy halom újrakezdés. Ráadásul egész meglepő dolgokat tanultam útközben. Olyanokat, amiket máshol simán használok is a gyakorlatban. Köszi, Avokádó Krumpli.

Szóval úgy döntöttem, kiteszem ezt most így félkészen századkészen, még akkor is, ha különösebben nincs rajta sok látnivaló. Mondjuk a "külső" éjfél korongját rajtahagyhattam volna. De ez most már ilyen. Ilyen ütemben még egy-másfél év, és szerintem kész lesz a teljes. Ja és hogy mi értelme van ennek az egésznek?

Semmi.

SERIOUSLY.

There's more legitimate substance in Boo-Berry's sugar Styrofoam than in most of these obvious spambots. At least the marshmallows are good in cocoa.

The "I was inspired by your work!" bots on DeviantArt and Fanfiction.net are getting pretty insufferable, but at least they're not using real tragedies for their scams.

I'm certainly not saying you shouldn't trust anyone. I live in a city with a homelessness crisis, and I frequently buy food or drinks for people if they want it. (I ask them first if I can get them anything to eat or drink.) But it's a lot easier to judge a conversation in person than on the Internet. (And to be honest, if the people asking for help at traffic lights talked as similarly to each other as these online inbox PMs do, it would be like something out of the Twilight Zone.)

There are so many legitimate charities and fundraisers helping Palestinians. Why are some people on this site so obsessed with toting the sketchy ones?

Is it because they think Hamas and its allies like ISIS and the Iranian government actually care about the Palestinians, and aren't hurting anyone who matters? Are they unaware of the Yazidi, Druze, Kurds, Zoroastrians, Baha'i, and other indigenous groups being genocided and subjugated by ISIS, Hamas, the Taliban, etc.?

Or are they just terminally on Tumblr, and automatically jump onto any supposed cause they see when scrolling without doing real research?

Hola…🫶🏻

[yvain]

Megan Fox in knitted leg warmers and short-shorts, a puffy coat and red fishnets, a color guard uniform, an Evil Dead raglan tee and star-spangled underwear, a cropped hoodie and low-rise jeans, an Edwardian prom dress with long white opera gloves. A wet strand of hair drawn through her mouth. Swimming naked in a lake glassy with twilight. Blackening the tip of her tongue with a lighter. In hunger, wan and beautiful as a consumptive heroine. Levitating. Snarling. Doe eyes, full and glossed lips. Dropping onto a car like a wild cat. Projectile vomiting an unctuous, inky liquid onto her best friend. Teeth like a nurse shark. A distended, disarticulated jaw like a python. Jennifer’s body on a sacrificial altar, sobbing. Jennifer’s body moving eerily from a great distance; then too close, and from the wrong angle. Jennifer pulling a rod out of her shish-kebabbed torso, saying, through a mouth of blood, “Do you have a tampon?” Jennifer’s body underlining the politics of Jennifer’s Body; a sex symbol through a funhouse mirror. (The film’s execs thought she’d be a draw for teenage boys, but teenage boys hated it. They didn’t know they were coming to be eaten. Not like that.)

hey, it's me and my mom!

when i was a kid i would write out notes on kim possible as i watched it . like i would watch each episode over and over and write down the dialogue as the characters said it. one time my mom asked what i was doing i said taking notes. like they do in high school (i knew what high schoolers were like because i saw them in kim possible. i couldnt have been older than seven ). she said "oh thats nice its good to get practice writing notes now it will be easier for you later 😊" like she saw nothing weird about this. i think this may be because she had all of the star trek captains log numbers memorized and could meticulously recount each episode based on those numbers alone. what im trying to say is autism often runs in families

THE FIST ANGAROVENATOR - ALTERNATIVE REPTILE!

While teliphones are building calamite catacombs, few vertebrates have mastered the arid terrain. One of them was the first angarovenator - Lapideusunguis adam, the "stone nail", which occupied a niche similar to modern geckos.

Lapideusunguis is significantly smaller than Moropiton and, possibly, slightly larger than adult Ariekanerpeton individuals.

Clockwise from top to bottom: Moropiton moropiton ssp. pushkini, pearl mole spider, Lapideusunguis, Oxykoilia, Poseideongenia. In the background - Ichthyocetus megalos

The body is elongated, has a triangular shape in cross section due to the high raised ribs: the thickness from the head to the middle of the tail remains the same. The legs are longer than those of the ancestors, which allows you to travel long distances.

The fingertips are covered with a keratin cover, convergent to the fingertips of tree frogs: they protect the foot from hard and often very hot/cold soil and aggressive substances and allow effective digging.

One recent scientific paper (Evolutionary origin of Hoxc13-dependent skin appendages in amphibians - the pictures above are taken from there) suggests that the claws of amphibians and amniotes were not independently developed, as previously thought. This means that the common ancestor had keratinized fingertips like modern axolotls.

The skin is much thicker (especially the feet and eyelids) than that of the ancestors, but without scales: it hangs slightly at the edges of the trunk. The muzzle is pointed, the head is narrow; the parietal eye is developed, the pupils of ordinary eyes are vertical due to the need to hunt both in the morning sun and in almost complete darkness. The color is bright due to the absence of predators with developed eyesight and serves as a means of communication and recognition of each other at a distance.

Unlike sedentary discosaurids, lapideusunguis is a nomad. Although its anatomy does not allow it to move as fast as modern quadrupeds, this angarovenator constantly (once every two weeks) surveys its territory in search of arthropods. Usually the territory includes two or three calamite catacombs or the usual burrows of some Arachnetiflopontics - Lapideusunguis periodically hunts them, as well as spiders and insects, especially young individuals. His main time of activity is twilight, night and day, he waits in burrows dug by himself or abandoned phone burrows. In the evening, the angarovenator comes out before sunset and basks on the rocks; in the morning it warms up by contracting muscles like some modern pythons - another adaptation important for future evolution.

Another important difference from discosaurids is rapid maturation: instead of 20 years, the larvae mature in a few months. In general, reproduction for lapideusunguis as for amphibians in the desert is a hemorrhoid due to the need to search for a reservoir. Usually, adults are found near the catacombs at night, when rare rains fall. The female lays eggs on wet ground, the male fertilizes the eggs and the female swallows the future offspring like the recently extinct Rheobatrachus silus frogs, after which she drinks some water.

However, these seymouriamorphs have not yet developed this behavior to perfection, and therefore they usually search for the nearest large body of water, migrating to the remaining forest regions. During the mother's wanderings, the eggs manage to develop into larvae at the beginning or middle of metamorphosis. It is obvious that the following daughter species will abandon the habitat stage in lakes and puddles in favor of throat gestation.

The following posts will be about the development of offspring bearing in Sangaree and in general about the evolution of metamorphosis in amphibians. In them, I will slightly correct the description of Lapideusungis and maybe draw the behavior of this animal during the breeding season.
