This is your reminder to try consider giving “outlandish” ideas a try instead of dismissing them.

I’ve been painting miniature horses as gifts for some horse owner friends of mine, and this horse has been bugging me for days because I could NOT get the brown “golden” enough.

So earlier I thought “what if I paint it bright yellow?”

So I did. Then I dry brushed Raw Sienna (kind of a coppery brown) over the top and it’s almost perfect to the colour I’ve been looking for.

@stefano I know this might be an obvious one but check there isn't a bios setting that is driving the fans. I don't know HP so well, but I have seen that on Dell. On a linux server, we set it to OS controlled which just ran the fans full RPM continuously. Setting it back to hardware fixed it.

@Flick I shall annoy my French opthalmologist with this knowledge, but not when she has a needle in my eye.

Interesting short of a cut-away CVT transmission. This one looks like a rubber belt, they're quite often steel mesh chains.

@DismalManorGang The Amazon fleet here seems to have upgraded to their Rivian box trucks. Suddenly everywhere.

@humanhorseshoes @def I saw absolute shithole neighbourhoods revitalised in the UK, largely thanks to EU free movement (Poles, mainly) but of course the locals resented it. Never understood it.

@humanhorseshoes @def That's a shame. I know the country really made the relationship with Europe work.

@humanhorseshoes @def I thought it was common knowledge The Republic was in the EU? I guess not.
