Disagree. Just because luck saved your ass doesn’t mean what you did wasn’t stupid.

Winning a round of Russian Roulette doesn’t make you a genius.

I wasn’t aware of that site. There’s almost too much great stuff there!..

Thank you again.

This plus good other images are amazing, thank you!

For me, in this one, the receding reeds capture the show… The way Japanese prints use negative space is unequalled, even in contemporary art!

Photography was available during his time, and he seems to be mixing traditional with a much more modern look. It’s fantastic:

That’s not true, it looks like it does improve. More correct and so-so answers.

Not really, thanks though.

There is no such thing as a pineapple tree. That’s an AI image.

Pineapples grow in an even more ridiculous way.

I understand the saliva has a benefit for mosquitoes, but not the swelling and the itching (the “unpleasantness” in the title). In essence, our bodies hung this not-otherwise-useful allergic response on something the mosquitoes couldn’t/wouldn’t/didn’t give up and which was firmly specific to their bites, to single them out.

If there was no saliva our bodies would be pressured by natural selection to pick some other mechanism to make their bites unpleasant. An allergy to their chitin or a phobia to the sound of their wings, etc.

Evolutionary pressure from mosquitoes has probably been no small thing.

They are ordered according to the midpoint position, it seems.

Looks a bit like the Arachne browser for DOS.

I doubt it, that would be too much of a coincidence to have two people named Torvalds in one picture.
