But her emails.
Headline Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox. It’s almost like this bunch never cared about her emails and is dangerously unqualified to hold the positions they sit in

I'm excited to announce the release of Kiki Ultimate Digital Painting Companion, a plugin for Krita that brings a personal assistant to your screen.
Blog post: davidrevoy.com/article1071/int…

#krita #plugin

A screenshot of Krita, on the canvas, a weird stick figure made with a even weirder brush preset. Kiki personal assistant is curious about it. "You know, I've seen some weird brush preset settings in my time, but yours take the cake. Are you trying to create a new form of art that's so bad, it's good?"
A screenshot of Krita, on the canvas a blue sky at night, in the layer stack many layer duplicated. Kiki personal assistant is distracted by the layers and question it. "Don't worry, I'm sure the 5 identical copies of the same layer are totally necessary. You're just... Uh... experimenting with depth, right?"
A screenshot of Krita, on the canvas: a long single line very shacky, representing nothing. Kiki personal assistant look at it in a blasé way. "I see you're going for the 'single stroke materpiece' technique. It's a bold choice, but I'm not sure it's going to be the next Mona Lisa."
A screenshot of Krita, on the canvas: a brown painting of a castle. Kiki personal assistant is posing proud, smiling with her finger pointing to the canvas. "Oh great, you managed to turn your entire painting into a muddy brown mess. Congratulations. You must be one of those misunderstood geniuses of color theory."

Just modeled the big part of the Vattenkar laptop riser, so I can think about drawers for it.

On one hand, I'm absolutely against using 3D printing for that, it feels to me like wasting material...but on the other hand, anything I buy will just...not fit that well.

IF, and that's a big if, I end up printing drawers, I think I would really like to use some wood PLA that with a similar enough color.
