Not pressing the test button. Not pressing the test button !
Afraid it does not stop beeping after a test. It did happen in previous home.
And the smoke detectors the installed in this home does not have repalceable battery. But io think the go silent when you pull them off the socket and activate a switch.
Maybe there is someone out there watching us back, we can't be alone here. But somehow, looking up makes things feel a little lighter.
A portrait of Koda , the wah, done during TFF's Artists Alley.
It was my first acrylic painting done at an artists alley during a convention ever. It took me some hours more than when I work on these on my studio, there are so many (good) distractions, people saying hi, cute fursuits that I can't hug because I have my hands full of painting, and even questions about the acrylics I was doing and about art in general. It was a very good experience, and something way different than when I'm just sketching.
This time I didn't record any time-lapse, hard to do that at a convention while doing many things at the same time. It would be possible, but annoying.

Meanings of the smoke for the upcoming papal conclave:
Black smoke means they're burning oil, which could be a sign of piston ring or valve stem seal wear
White smoke means they're burning coolant and the papal head gasket has blown
The actual first painting of the series of portraits on this format I did, before heading to TFF.
This is for Dahan, the cat.
Traditional. Acrylics.
This was also the first traditional painting I tried to record a time-lapse with a desk phone stand instead of a tripod as I was using for long time. It works very well, but this first time I didn't adjust it very tight as it should have been, and during the time-lapse it was falling slowly, which it looked pretty comical on the final video.
If you want to watch it, it is on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco
And the same reminder of every of my posts, if you want to check more content, like full time-lapse videos, WIPs, full resolution files, exclusive merch and seeing pictures before I post them on my galleries, consider supporting me on Patreon or Ko-Fi. That helps me to keep making more and more art. Thank you!!

Probably the best #anagram I will ever personally discover.
I've been waiting for a good moment this year to post it. I thought in 2025 someone would be bound to use this phrase in public discourse. But I haven't seen a case of it yet, so I'll just post this anyway.
Back when i used Chrome I had an extension that replaced "political correctness" with "treating people with respect." It made for all kinds of hilarity when reading Trump quotes or other ranting about the "danger of treating people with respect."

@MaryAustinBooks ah, well, in that case:
TREATING PEOPLE WITH RESPECT GONE MAD
is an anagram of

I liked this comment from Milleokws over on Youtube as a new acronym for AI art:

My email signature randomisation script picked an appropriate quotation for the weekend's #debian Bug Squashing Party:
[W]e found...that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had
thought. I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going
to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.

Clever people design interesting machines to do useful things.
Marketing hires a second or third echelon to stop them doing it, unless a ransom is paid.
The second echelon are not so competent, and marketing are not so careful.
One of the most embarrassing absent-mindednesses in software development:
• decide carefully what you want to do
• write a clear, well reasoned source comment and/or commit message explaining the decision
• forget to actually change the code.
On the positive side, you have documented what you wanted to do, and (presumably) a commit showing that you didn't actually do it.
Seems like a much better situation than having some code that doesn't make any sense and no explanation why. Like a few days ago, I asked myself why I added 120 seconds to the current time before displaying it. No comment, so a guess could be that it was a test that accidentally got committed, but I can't see anything logical I could have been testing. I mean, next time I run the program, it will already be two minutes later.
