I was curious if they were using farmed bugs or something else

From the page for the bug Dpads:

Rest assured, no creepy crawlies were harmed in creating these unique dpads – each bug was respectfully collected after natural passing, discovered in serene settings like windowsills, tangled in spider webs, or peacefully outdoors. These DPADs are not just gaming accessories; they're a tribute to the beauty of nature, combined with the thrill of Halloween! πŸ•·πŸ‚

Devil's lettuce, Mary Jane and "marahuana" (in the Hank Hill voice) are probably my favorites that immediately come to mind

Wow, this is absolutely amazing, do you have a build guide or something to reference if I wanted to build one?

Either AI written, or a bad way of phrasing this update from their kickstarter, which suggests that there's a deadline for any unclaimed physical rewards from the kickstarter for Firmament, suggesting that they've still been shipping them up until now

Though the fact that they called it an upcoming title makes me think AI helped write the article.

The first half is reasonable, the 2nd bit is paranoid.

People take drug, drug does thing, body/brain react and over time produce long term tolerance so honeymoon period with med ends.

Surprised Pikachu face

You see it in other drug using communities; it's really common to see people say that the modern drug is nothing like what they took years prior, whilst ignoring their own neural pathways will have changed in that time.

Personally I've found NAC helps, where it didn't before when my meds still add their "magic"

Making their own ADHD meds? (If my understanding of your comment is right)

Cause I mean it's not hard but incredibly illegal, as Adderall is just amphetamine salts in a slightly different ratio than what you'd get by synthesizing it yourself.

It's not exactly closed source

Now, vyvanse would be quite a bit harder to clandestinely produce but not impossible, just as illegal though.

How do you deal with any other languages aside from English? Even if a product is destined for an English only market (which let's be honest are basically small toys with English on them and English language books), anyone manufacturing will likely be using components manufactured in multiple different countries, with different languages and different ways of structuring names etc.

This is basically how you used to get Chinglish names and instructions for stuff on cheap products from China

If you want to see the outcome of what your currently suggesting, lookup longest car names, there's a lot more English in them, as well as abbreviations yet they're still a mess to understand/interpret from a layman's perspective

To add to this, it's a hell of a lot easier to cross language barriers with the the alphanumeric product name than it is with the English name, which only works for English and would need accurately translating for every language&product for every region you want to buy/sell in.

It would be an absolute nightmare to try for every product that's sold in multiple regions, etc

But would that then imply that all commissioned works aren't art?

Or does the difference of who (or more specifically what) you commission to produce something decide whether it's art?

This is cool, what other tools/techniques have you used to achieve good beyond the pixelsorting?

I used to really love palladium boots, but most of them are now made in China with the accompanying drop in quality.

I had a decent couple of leather pairs, and have gone through maybe 3 canvas/fabric pairs in the past 12 months.

And ever since they paid a Kardashian to advertise them they've become massively overpriced.

It's a shame as I used to love them

Paella is generally supposed to have a little bit of crispyness to it and is cooked in a large wok like cast iron pan IIRC, might be a helpful starting point
