No, let’s not degrade language like that.

And “eliminated at all costs”? Sounds exactly the kind of thinking that leads to getting shut out and cut ties. Good riddance.

“Russian” is not a race. And Finland has a history with Russia that isn’t easily forgotten. That is to say, every Finn I’ve spoken to hates Russia for invading Finland… Twice…

Finland isn’t even the only neighbour that hates Russia. At some point one has to wonder why so many of Russia’s neighbours hate, or at the very least don’t feel comfortable with, Russia.

Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

A pull request, in its most basic form, is the request for a change. The joke is that the change I’d be requesting is to make Gimp more relevant, as there isn’t just one feature or quality of life change that Gimp would need.

It fascinates me how far we’re progressing in medical science. Never expected to ever see news like cures for HIV, tumours, and diabetes in my lifetime.

Hey, have you seen those Japanese? They have curved swords. Curved… Swords…!

“Please make Gimp relevant” would be a pretty interesting pull request.

Ah. So gimp is going to stop being 15 years out of date and instead going to be just 10 years out of date. Cool.

The tomato.

That’s about it.

Well let me think…

I know a few local supermarkets sell frozen chickpeas in bags of 500 grams. And I think, off the top of my head, the price ranges between 15 dkk ($2.24) and 40 dkk ($5.97), depending on if there’s a sale on and which supermarket I go to. I know that Rema 1000 is on the cheaper end, and frozen vegetable products tend to go on sale pretty often, but it’s never the same products, so it’s very unpredictable when chickpeas go on sale. These prices include tax, as tax is not excluded from products in stores.

That means that 3 kg of frozen chickpeas would be between $14.44 (uaually when on sale) or $36.02.

Now, I can get dried beans and peas in much larger bulk from the various Arab stores in Copenhagen, but buying bags of dried goods from those stores comes with the risk of getting pantry moths. I’m still battling those little fuckers from the time I bought a large 5 kg bag of really high quality rice two years ago.

I live in Denmark.

There’s no Amazon in Denmark. Basically anything bought from Amazon either comes from Germany or the UK, which makes Amazon probably the worst, most expensive option for any reason.

I can buy oats and flour on the cheap around here, but chickpeas and dried beans? That’s very quickly sounding like $10 a day.

Interesting…

Need to keep Cobalt Tools in mind. Was looking for something like that.

Gimp has been falling behind more and more. Back when 2.0 came out it wasn’t as bad yet, but it got worse as years went on.

Never had issue with this. For my work I’ve always used Blender 3D, Gimp, and Krita. The one thing that used to hold me back from using Linux was my Steam game library, but then Valve introduced Proton and all my reasons to stay on Windows evaporated.

Been a happy Linux user for a few years now.

Took a glance at it, not bad price range. I’ll be looking more into it. Thank you. ^^

Hmm, for drawing when travelling I wouldn’t be streaming or hanging out on discord, so being constantly connected to the Internet would not be a priority, just that it’s good for drawing without a mess of dongles and cables.

Not being able to upload a WIP or a completed commission to a customer might be annoying, though…

Yeah, agreed. XP Pen is great value for money. I had a second hand Wacom before and it wasn’t particularly better in any way.
