Or Kenobi maths. The truth...from a certain point of view😅
Something like "Let's pretend all these appalling things that lead to divergence are, in fact, all regularised finites while we work out the answer consistent with the same analytical behaviour. Then shove the awful bits back in at the end"?

It's a restricted analytical continuation from a known convergence though, innit? Not yer actual sum of numbers wossit. Nar'mean?😉

Big packages are OK if I'm just copy/ pasting, cropping or whatever. But if I want to sit down & draw it's a *colossal* pain in the arse slogging through all those menus, windows & such.

I'd rather have a handful of versatile tools than work well together, than a lorry load of twiddly-widdly bits😅

I suppose the difference is I doodle in front of the telly on my tablet with a stylus, in much the name way you probably do with a pad and pencil. So I use all the paint/brush/pen/sketch tools too, quite a lot actually.

It made sense for me to spend 10 quid on a focused app that does what I need.

My bed is against the wall so, y'know, problems doing THAT.
But I always get out of bed by sort of rocking back and doing this half-roll thing to zip out of bed fully standing, rather than having to bother with all that tedious 'bending my knees' stuff.

Almost very night😊
Quite honestly, I think my neighbours are starting to regret buying that bungalow between my house and the shop.

I'm already writing the story.

I'm trying to imagine what scenario in a trashy teen romance novel results in the heroine choking out a beagle in a sleeper hold😂🤣

It's a many layered joke.

I knew there was a reason I spent those years drunk🍻

Oh! I was just going to suggest pickling the onions in concentrated sulphuric & nitric acid. There'd probably be enough nitrocellulose byproduct to make the onions themselves explosive - that'd cut out a step for you🙂

For once I was shocked by this, but only because I thought "Surely Team Fortress 2 is older than that?"😅

But I suppose it came out with Portal in the Orange Box, didn't it? It somehow seems far, far more ancient than Chell's adventure to me🤷

I think I may have spotted a way to streamline your cooking process😅

But they're oh so wonderful🥰
I just quickly ran through my stock and favorite recipes and it occurs to me they all start with "Chop up an onion...". Even the stock one for making stock Stock does.

Onions are great. I even married one, in fact.
Everybody cried at the ceremony🥹

Right. OK🤦
Well, it's an indication of how completely and profoundly distracted I was earlier that I didn't get this reference until just now😂🤣

As he once said;
“When you go after honey with a balloon, the great thing is to not let the bees know you’re coming.”

So there's that👀

My legal counsel refers you to our prior discussions on this point😅

Also voiced the possessing tentacle demon in The Darkness 1 & 2 if you played them back in the day? They were a lot of fun😊
