It might be a demand issue. In Singapore a lot of people are lactose intolerant, hence the demand for dairy substitutes is greater.

Yes it was partly toung in cheek. These were good people who acted on principle. However... I was young and it took me too long to see the hypocrisy of their thinking. They would happily feed the chickens but I would be the person who kill

As someone who has worked on farms i can verify that such things happen. I personally witnessed sheep behaving exactly as decided in The Silence of the Lambs. Our sheep were famously noisy and certainly were used to being moved around in lo

I teach art and over the years I have come to understand that many people use art to subsume their neurosis (well duh I hear you say). What TFA describes is familiar to me as a typical form of this phenomenon - the cataloguer: artists who f

As someone who teaches both oil painting and digital painting, I find this project fascinating. They have certainly identified two of the key difference between digital and real paint: - RYB mixing (e.g. yellow painting plus blue paint = gr

This is functionally similar to the Claude glass. Taking the form of a dark tinted convex mirror it was used since the 1700s by landscape painters to simplify and reduce the tonal contrast of a view. When I was a student I would improve a s

Completely agree that Houdini is not currently in the same class as Blender, Maya, Max etc…. It is a different animal. that being said, it is hard not to see how much their character animation tools are improving without seeing this as a di

I love Blender and was majorly responsible for getting our university to switch to Blender from 3Ds Max. I have written easily 100 pages of support for Blender and have been evangelical in converting my colleagues to it. Nonetheless we lost

My bad. I did not know that. Won’t make that mistake again. Pasting below the key info. Differential Growth and L-systems are both concepts used in modeling biological growth, particularly in plants, but they approach the subject from diffe

Maybe also to inhibit growth when exposed to a saline environment? If this were recreated in Blender’s geo nodes these functions would be relatively easy to add using the raycast node.

Kagi search has this to say about the difference between differential growth and L-systems (plot spoiler: l-systems are maths-based and address mostly branching phenomena, differential growth is derived from the fact that within a single or

Well, I can see that my opinion is not a popular one, but I stand by it. As a skinny-arsed bloke, I find sitting down for long periods very uncomfortable. The literature seems to agree that women are more able to sit upright for long period

I believe that the fact that the female human butt is larger than the males is that it evolved to make the act of sitting down for long periods more comfortable. Effectively, they carry around a built-in cushion which makes squatting and si

I am sufficiently old that I did not experience hard core internet porn until I could manage it. But evidence seems to show that for the vulnerable, porn consumption can lead to dopamine deletion and depression.

From my experience as a teacher, I believe that ticktock and instagram are the worst offenders, particularly for young women. The hyper-visuality and ease of consumption of these media sets them apart from platforms which can accommodate ac

Completely agree. I believe that social media overstimulates a young person’s expectations of society in the same way that porn overstimulates our expectations of sex.
