#Question #Jeu
Bonjour à tous ! Je cherche le nom d'un jeu ou d'un livre. C'est un concept où les pages sont découpées en trois parties (tête, corps, jambes) que l'on peut mélanger pour créer des personnages drôles, comme une fée avec la tête d'un troll. Je cherche ce nom depuis déjà plusieurs semaines.

Je vous remercie d'avance !

🔴 **Question ❓**

Is it not strange that even after the mass proliferation of mobile phones and their cameras there has not been one credible image taken of the Himalayan Yeti? This leads me to think, what were people who reported sightings all those years ago actually witnessing?

What do think these birds are doing?

They were perched in the high branches of these tall trees, many of them with their wings spread wide. There is no sun for them to be getting any warmth from, just overcast daylight. There were several doing this, flying off again and then coming back to do the same again. I think they are crows or ravens, though at first I thought they might be bald eagles.
EDIT: Comments have shown us they are turkey vultures

Any ideas anyone?

So how does one become a political influencer anyway? I have a message I'd like to spread, so how do those Tate and Vaush guys do it? Did they just yell into the void until people started listening? Do I HAVE to hate women or want to be a horse? Do I need to just be born with money? Until I find answers I'm just gonna be a meme page to try and build up a following. Let me know da secrets tho

Fedi, do you tip on self-service/ready-to-go meals?

Ex. Prepared wraps, sandwiches, salad bowls or similar; drinks, chips or snacks, cookies, etc. Where you simply grab what you want and go to pay at the staffed cash.

I have been a part of a Discord server for an Open Source project for a while and I help out answering questions as I can.

Recently, I have had a few of the random people from the Discord server try to add me as a friend, and DM me questions, even when I make it clear I would prefer they ask before trying to add or DM me.

What is everyone's policy on stuff like that? Am I just being a grumpy "Geriatric Millennial"?

Can this networks wisdom help me out?

Yesterday I ended up with a small splinter of metal (from a screw) in the tip of my index finger. No worries, I figured it'll come out by itself.

This morning, turning on the tea kettle, I felt a faint buzzing sensation. Not painful, but not pleasant either.

After some experimenting it seems to be the metal splinter reaction to (very) nearby electric fields (transformers etc).

Is this some type of parasitic capacitance?

Would you recommend any additives to emulsify thin ink, or dilute-ink, dilute-acrylic paint, etc.?

That the ink might flow well on a dip pen nib, for instance.
(To turn thin watery pigment in to an emulsion which beads properly upon the nib.)

Would you suggest shellac, gum arabic, some kind of liquid gloss acrylic medium, or something else?

Thanks!
