Darn, thwarted by a small detail!

That seems like it could be a monkey wrench.

I don't have any... I sold all the smoke bombs to that weird dude who's selling inflatable crowns.

Exchanged cars with a senior colleague of mine today, just for fun.

He has an Audi A6. I now understand why some people get so many speeding tickets.

Your planning on doing 120 and wind up around 200 kph, that is a smooth and quiet car.

Man, when I fast in Ramadan, I'll not drink coffee that entire month to reduce my caffeine tolerance.

Usually I don't have to look at the speedometer to know how fast I'm going but in this case I usually underestimated it by a solid 60-80 kph.

Would you trade for a day again?

First day of the year in the 70s and I'm sweating like a stuck pig walking across town. God, summer is going to kill me, I'm a pansy.

I'm returning it tomorrow.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't trust myself with such a car on a daily basis. Haven't got the bank to pay the tickets.

I wish for those kind of temperatures right now. All April it's been in the 30s and it's going to me like that into most of May it seems. God it's too hot down here.

New system for receiving at work is bonkers. Before last week, it would take me sometimes as little a 30-60 minutes to receive 100 pallets of inventory of a trailer. Today, this morning, the new process took me 6 hours to receive 115 pallets.

I think it’s time to deploy my trusty glue gun, cotton stuffing and cute print cloth and make another pillow.

12 hours until I watch Endgame. So far so good. No more spoilers. This is me checking in and disappearing again.

Fantasy maps are hard to make somewhat realistic.

This is true. Take a look at the maps in The Lord of the Rings. I can't recall if Tolkien did them himself or his son, but the way the mountains and forests are done is excellent. It'll be time-consuming but with some practice, you can get good at it. And then there's this: http://www.fantasticmaps.com

You know, I really love just wandering through r/MapPorn and r/imaginarymaps. That website is wonderful as well I'm seeing a lot of good tips and tricks that I might use one day.

I love making up my own maps and then creating people to live there.

I’m using online tools, and just trying to figure out how mountains and climates is like going through an entire class about winds, temperature, latitudes, rain shadows, oh my...
It’s a lot to take in.
Sure, I don’t need to follow the rules of Earth to the letter (and I certainly won’t), but I’d like to make the map believable to the semi-trained eye, you know?
