Quality looks good to me, nice and crisp. Sometimes videos automatically adjust quality for connection speed - If your connection is struggling or you're downloading, it could affect how the video displays for you. But rest assured, I saw the details on my end and it looks great!

I hope it's ok I posted this here. I'm just trying to 'walk the walk' because in my life, I've been very verbally political but never took action. I think now's the time.

Hey Tech Connect. Big fan here. I wanted to bring visibility to planned peaceful demonstrations against these executive actions in each state's capitol. They're called the 50501 protests. Admittedly, they're kind of organized like shit, but I plan on going. www.reddit.com/r/50501/ for more info.

Thank you for the information and correction, sincerely. I didn't know that. I will say that the list isn't comprehensive. I don't know the accuracy of all of the text dog whistles on it, but the symbols check out with other sources I've seen, though I know for a fact there are more out there.

That might not even be enough though. It's theorized tracking could exist through variations in laser intensity in general, so shades of gray in text resulting in encoding the printer's serial number. Ideally, any pamphlet should be mechanically printed with stamps, screen printing, or print press.

... printing from, every print job is logged. I'm not an expert in this realm, but I did want to bring this to the greater communities attention. I've not read anything about tracking on black and white printers. If I were to distribute leaflets or what-have you, I'd use B&W printing and avoid...

Many, if not all modern color printers use forensic dots to track what printer an item was printed on. If you are distributing sensitive information that is righteous but could get you in trouble with the current administration, keep this in mind. Some of these tracking methods don't even use...

If I could afford my own set, I'd be a rivet counter... on my own set. Everyone else should manifest their own vision of what they want. Crazy that people nitpick like that. At the end of the day, a model railroad is an artform, and art is specific to the artist.

This is gorgeous. Big fan of the stippling, it gives the skull and crown such nice texture. 11/10, would have you tattoo me.

A black and white illustration of a strange creature, mostly composed of massive eye. The eye's pupil is toad-like but vertical. Fungal-like growths emerge from the eye almost in a halo. The shading and texture is accomplished with stippling.
"Radiant". Pigma Micron pens on sketchbook paper.
This one started as a doodle, and I thought I'd try stippling. I think it turned out pretty neat.

A black and white, pen and ink sketch of a river island in the middle of an ice flow. Many of the island's coniferous trees are fallen over in various directions, but still alive. A larger conifer forest exists in the background on the far side of the river.
A wintry landscape color photo of a river island in the middle of an ice flow. Many of the island's coniferous trees are fallen over in various directions, but still alive. A larger forest on the far side of the river exists in the background. Lots of hoarfrost clings to the pine needles of every tree.
"Leantree Island in Winter". Ball point gel pen on card stock.
Reference image I snapped in January of 2021 included.
It's my favorite photo I've taken; the frost was insane that day. Wasn't sure how to capture reflections in this medium - any tips?
