Try Gimp.

Its as good, and its free

I decent, but this bundle I'm eyeing would let me go much further than Gimp would. Especially this price it is practically a steal.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I wonder if this thread will end up more chaotic, or less chaotic, with the haggis one taking a hiatus?

No, for we still have one Celt here to cause a ruckus and poke the bear.
Now, I want breakfast burritos tomorrow, so bring on the bacon!

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

bacon, haggis

Why not? I can handle it better than Revoltingest because I joined the female club and females never pass gas unless they're on the set of the show Golden Girls.

Why would you want to be a breakfast burrito? You'll probably just attract animals.

what is prop 22

It would allow us rideshare drivers to remain independant contractors, which works great for me with all my health stuff as I can not work when I don't feel like it.
And retain the illusion and image that it's all by choice and not health ailments I don't do normal jobs.
I'd also likely end up making far less money if I'd stay with it as pre-covid I would typically make $20-$25/hour after expenses, with it not being really rare for the amount would be more than $30/hour, and that is considering the down time.
But if prop 22 doesn't pass we become employees, have a regular pay, regular schedules, and I likely won't be able to be as accommodating of passenger requests (like making a stop that wasn't put in the initial request and waiting longer than what Lyft policy says).

Not to be one, but to have animal pieces and parts and scrambled chicken menstruation mixed with cheese, salsa and hot sauce and wrapped in a toasted flour tortilla.
But after arising fear in animals for my ability to engorge on them (granted shrimp moreso than pigs need fear me), I don't do antique machines, I do youngish-oldish to oldish machines, computers with their hardware and some software experience, I do acts of aggression in poker instead of perverse acts of love with a van, but I'll still poke a bear, I am also a maple syrup snob, and I'll cook up an animal crispy.
And to raise my replacement claim further, I am even further South of a Libertarian than that wayward spin-off Celt. To some RFers that makes @Revoltingest the Devil and me the Super Devil.

You have me beat.

Of course, I could always tell Dr. Bombay to pump me full of testrogen/estosterone and make me the next Frankenstein's monster. Then if I can still see over my chest and lower half, the title of temporary Revolting will be mine.

Well part way, i can trace ancestry back to Olaf the Black, king of Mann and the isles, to Gunn and Caithness.

Do i pass muster?

They don't??? What am i doing wrong...

Your house was probably just built on a former Golden Girls set.

Not as much as a steal as free.

For working with images i much prefer gimp, used it for years and found none better for my work.

Not done much with photos though other than resizing, colour balancing and unsharpen mask so can't say much about photos

The house was built long before golden girls, tv and not long after america was born, i don't think it's that. More likely the vegetarian food my daughter insists we eat on occasion.

I go back to at least one viking that invaded England if that counts.....and Frederick William I of Prussia....and a group of Scots that were to rowdy for James the first...so he asked the to leave....and I think I may be something like 700th in line to rule England.......and that is just on my mothers side of the family....not sure what any of this means...but there it is

Its fun to find out, interesting history you got there

Olaf the black was a viking king who invaded Caithness and founded the gunn clan. I am officially allowed to wear a kilt and carry a dirk in public.

The motto says much about me

Oh, interesting snippet

Hubby traces himself back to vikings that invaded Lancashire, there is a tiny village to mark the name. Which shows up in small pockets all over the world now.

We both had an ancestor sail on one of the first boats to america (the Anne). Essentially founders of your fair nation. There were only 72 passengers so chances are his ancestor and mine met. We see it as a sign... A sign of what we do not know

I don't remember my rating, but if you're down there,
you're in a rarified crowd. All you need is to favor
more economic liberty, & you'll earn the knowledge
of the secret libertarian handshake.

With photos, gimp is great, don't get me wrong, but to compare to colored pencils its basically crayola, while Paintshop and Photoshop (especially Photoshop Suit which is hella nice with hella pricetag) are more like Prismacolor.
Or a good cell phone camera next to a decent DSLR camera. The cell phone can take amazing pictures. The real camera is just better, and in a side by side it will show.

Here's one time it was recorded.
But it's happened a couple times because I steal gain and taunt you for a second time, you son of silly person!

Have much rabble do you rouse? Rev, Columbus and I are all basically stereotypical when it comes to us being trouble makers with an occasional swat from the mods.
