The fire in general does. It looks great, but it's the one thing that immediately doesn't look real.

Assuming the non-realism of the fire isn't a stylistic choice, it's at least a defect shared with Hollywood VFX.

Regardless, this is fantastic work OP. Thanks for sharing with us!

Even in fairly sensible states and for egg freezing, they may want you to jump through hoops.

As part of the process my significant other apparently had to either tell them I didn't exist, or they'd want to talk to me for permission to freeze her eggs. Even if we were married, they're her eggs not mine. It's completely inappropriate to need to talk to me.

It's not uncommon to mention the president who started an agency in little blurbs describing their history. Like with the Environmental Protection Agency & Nixon.

Even your first painting in the series was recognizably him. You're right about the expression, although I sure can't point to what tiny detail doesn't match.

Regardless, you've made great progress and I hope you keep sharing with us!

There's still something to assembling it yourself. Viewed as an educational activity, it easily clears the bar for photo quality.

Yes you can get better photos by buying something else used, but that doesn't mean this doesn't have value.

At the same time it's the map's job to describe the world. Even for something like nation states where there's an official name, the map uses the common name. Our maps say France, not French Republic.

Changing the displayed name for a body of water shared by several nations doesn't make much sense, especially when the common name has yet to follow.

At least that's from the perspective of one of the goals the map ostensibly wants to serve.

Those actions may not require refreshing the entire display.

E-Ink is viewable in sunlight without a backlight. A huge chunk of power for regular displays is the backlight. Here you only need a backlight in darkness, and it can be quite low.

Thibault? That's the first 2 syllable French name that comes to mind that I could see people mangling to Tubbo or Tugboat

Is that a Vermin Supreme reference?

Were you intending to link a song, or reply to someone besides OP?

The weird thing is, equity and inclusion aside: it looks like diversity is a good tiebreaker when you try to measure this.

So even if it were a zero sum game, the right candidate is unlikely to be the one who resembles your current team.

Twin peaks had the sign changed at the last minute. It was originally supposed to be about 5,200, hence the mismatch between the sign and the tone
