Seriously. Ashara’s approval system is borked if you happen to play a female SI. I just gave her a purple lvl 5 gift (and of a type she supposed to like), and I got like 140 points. Normally, that nets me something like 400+ points on anyone else, even if they are nearly approval capped. And she was only a little over 1,700. /side eye/

Unfortunately, this means I can’t decide if I like/dislike her. How can I decide if I never get to talk to her?

She’s such a pain in the bottom half that way! I have definitely edged over into the “I can’t stand her” side, simply because she’s so hard to level up in affection and her snarky moodiness. Seriously kid, if you had caught Fenta on a bad day, you’d be floating home. I’m so glad Fenta is a Sith Pureblood, simply because every time that bloody Togruta says, “That’s quite nice”, I can then hit her with /punish.

Matt Smith holding the Olympic Torch in Cardiff (May 26th)

I’m very excited about the run. It’s a huge privilege.  A once in a lifetime thing. Let’s hope I don’t trip over!

Aw the fourth photo and his thumbs-up. He’s so excited!

Matt Smith - what a lovely guy.

skaterboytae: When a honeybee dies it releases a death pheromone, a characteristic odor that signals the survivors to remove it from the hive. This might seem a supreme final act of social responsibility. The corpse is promptly pushed and tugged out of the hive. The death pheromone is oleic acid [a fairly complex molecule, CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH, where = stands for a double chemical bond].  What happens if a live bee is dabbed with a drop of oleic acid? Then, no matter how strapping and vigorous it might be, it is carried “kicking and screaming” out of the hive. Even the Queen bee, if she’s painted with invisible amounts of oleic acid, will be subjected to this indignity. Do the bees understand the danger of corpses decomposing in the hive? Are they aware of the connection between death and oleic acid? Do they have any idea what death is? Do they think to check the oleic acid signal against other information, such as healty spontaneous movement? The answer to all these questions is, almost certainly, No. In the life of the hive there’s no way that a bee can give off detectable whiff of oleic acid other than by dying. Elaborate contemplative machinery is unnecessary. Their perceptions are adequate for their needs. Ann Druyan & Carl Sagan, Shadows Of Forgotten Ancestors: Who Are We?, What Thin Partitions  Why do I read this stuff and start thinking in terms of Killiks? Ye gods, I have a one track mind. Zoom

demonically cute: kaosstar: Am I the only one who constantly is clicking Aric Jorgan...

kaosstar:

Am I the only one who constantly is clicking Aric Jorgan just to hear him say “I’m here.”?? I just can’t get enough! *sigh*

And have you noticed he gives you the silent treatment when you flirt with Jonas Balkar? I made that misstake twice! All I got was “Sir” for a very long…

Guilty, for all of the space boyfriends with nice voices.

Andronikos: “Guess you need me after all.”

Me:

Yep! With Vector he gets clicked until I get “The electrons are singing” (and occasionally, “If there’s nothing else, perhaps we’ll work on our memoirs”) and for Quinn it’s, “An opportunity is all I ask.”

archiemcphee:

Have you ever seen flowers made of moving liquid? These awesome images are the painstaking work of photographer Jack Long, who spends months planning and experimenting to create each stunning piece.

“Armed with superhuman patience, a high-speed camera and lots of paint, Jack Long set out to create a series of beautiful images called Vessels and Blooms in which he tried to create liquid flowers out of colored paint droplets captured in mid-air. The skilled photographer spent several months planning and testing different techniques in order to achieve the best results possible, and judging by his photos, I’d say his work paid off in the end.

The clever artist uses water mixed with dyes, pigments and thickeners and as this cocktail is suspended in the air for just a split second, he takes high-speed photos hoping to capture the right moment. Jack won’t reveal the exact technique used to create his paint flowers, though. “This series was a culmination of months of planning and testing. Hundreds of captures are made in testing and then many more during the actual final capture stage. A very few stand out as being the best,” the artist from Wisconsin said about his latest series.

You’re probably looking at these gorgeous liquid flowers and thinking ‘wow, these are so Photoshopped’, and I don’t blame you, but Jack Long says he uses the popular software just to clean up his photos and enhance them with basic tools. ’All of my images are created in one single capture. One picture. I do not make composites from multiple images, unless otherwise noted. All of my fluid flowers are as captured,” says the American photographer. He adds that the thing he likes most about his art is that it’s different from other splash photography.”

For more mind-blowing liquid flowers and other examples of brilliant splash photography, check out Jack Long’s Flickr profile and 500px page.
