- Comment on Are people in the stock photos real? 10 months ago:
I was chatting with a stock photographer a while back. Apparently the most important thing is the tags that you give the photos. The best ones are abstract because you aren't competing with "hand" and "pen". If you can make your photo of a hand holding a pen fit "wistful" or "trenchant" then you have a better chance of it being seen. Making thousands of weird photos like a hammer/screwdriver/wand being held over a watermelon/plastic duck/brick by a clown/policeman/nurse and giving them abstract tags is the way to go.

I lost all respect for it when they just ignored logic and physics with driving the car backwards/forwards.

I like FreeCAD. I know some people hate it, but I find the requirement to do things carefully and properly to avoid horrible errors later on really focusses my mind on what I'm designing. I end up with something that is probably better designed than if I could just lash something together and let the software sort out the mess.
- Comment on I like women but I also like cock but I'm not otherwise attracted to the male body at all. Wtf is my sexual orientation? 11 months ago:
Sounds like you are very similar to me and a billion or so other people. I don't see much point in creating a label for it. You are what you are and don't worry about it. I had a thing with a trans woman for a while and now I'm happily married with kids. Whatever I am has never had a negative affect on my life because I don't worry about what I am.

Does this mean that blood type O will become rarer over time and eventually disappear? Does it also imply that someone, like me, ego is O- has a family tree with fewer branches on it than most people?
- Comment on UK government sets out plans for ‘biggest nuclear power expansion in 70 years’ 1 year ago:
They should have been ramping it up 20 years ago. -Termism fucks us again. Better late than never, I suppose.
- Comment on UK government sets out plans for ‘biggest nuclear power expansion in 70 years’ 1 year ago:
There needs to be a mix of sources, and unfortunately nuclear is the best way to provide a reliable source that can be ramped up or down instantly to plug gaps in supply from renewables.

Is the whole article as stupid as the summary, which sounds like it was written by an edgy 14 year old?

Well, they can fuck right off.
- Comment on Exploring the available CAD software 1 year ago:
It's worth noting that the version number of FreeCAD is 0.21 so it's still very much a work in progress. It has a solid base of a very powerful 3d engine and is the bare bones of a CAD system that is usable now and will only get better.
- Comment on would would the average skin tone and facial features after 300 years? 1 year ago:
You are just picking an arbitrary set of characteristics and calling it "race". Nature has no concept of race because we are all genetically different and there is no line that one crosses from being one race to another. Race is purely a human construct, and a very unhelpful one, as it is just another way to divide us.

There's genetic differences between you and everyone else in your family. Are you a different race to them?

It's no more of a problem than dealing with LPG, surely? Pressurise it for storage.
