@C.Koca Believe it or not, I am actually finished with drawing! I did not expect it to take me less than 60 minutes. I am now waiting a little while for my phone to charge a bit and I will send you preview photo (preview because it is 2 AM where I live and the photo taken in artificial lighting is a lot worse quality that this taken in daylight); I will upload the actual photo made in daylight later afternoon, and also include photos of my real aquarium to Meta Q&A.

@lila Good. I forgive you (thanks that was funny) :)

goodnight

hi

@lila Oh my God

This is so beautiful

The details, the depth, the calligraphy :)

I love it!

I feel I am very much indebted to you!

Look at those stupid little paws

My heart is melting as I check the photo :)

*drawing

hi

@lila hey

@C.Koca I am happy then, thanks a lot for such a nice review!!!

@lila That goes to instagram :)

@C.Koca thanks!!!

@C.Koca Photos made this afternoon in daylight, much better white balance.

@lila Thanks!

First is in diffuse daylight, second in direct sunlight, I will include this drawing to the Meta Q&A together with some bonus ones (drawn in Paint).

I am not that artistic to know the difference of diffuse or direct sunlight :)

I can't stop myself from adoring the way you drew those little paws and the whiskers :)

Sonny is one lucky sob :P

Am I allowed to say sob? :P

@C.Koca Oh it is not really that much artistic ^.^ more physical term; direct sunlight is if you can make clearly defined shadow with sharp boundaries with your hand/other object, diffuse is if the shadow is fuzzy or you cannot make shadow at all.

@C.Koca haha thanks! oh yes of course you can say sob, it is just abbreviation, it is like saying 'f' instead of fork :D

By the way, I added update to Meta Q&A "many pets of Pets".

@Nai45 Be honest please, you totally did not expect me to actually do that, did you? Thanks it was funny for me also, and will hopefully remind me to stop habitually apologizing for so many things :D

@lila In fairness, no one was expecting anyone to do that :)

:D

@lila I kinda thought you would write it once or twice, but not all 50... (It also appears, after studying your digital writing closely, that it is not copy and pasting, or at least you managed to hide it well)

@Nai45 Actually only 47 times; 50 would be ridiculous, I would not finish for months!!!

@lila I did, zoomed in to tiny pixels, and there are some subtle differences. Unless you copy and pasted a column... hmmm

@Nai45 Nice, I believe you did! But I specifically secured myself against this; please instead try inspecting larger features (letters are kind of ornamental, please see whether the detailed features differ or not) :o

If I see that you came to right conclusions, then I will fully explain what and how I did it!

@lila Ok, hold on while I inspect, this may take a bit

relax and take time, by the way I cannot believe I did good enough job with this, I guessed it will be obvious :D

@lila Above is a sampling of my investigation, I have concluded that this is fraud, but carefully hidden, and that there is some diversity in the sentences, and it involved some sort of technological AI.

@Nai45 Woooow nice!!! I am really amazed, I did not expect actual solid analysis in the form of image!!!!

@lila thanks, I'm not done yet, eventually I will post a complete version, and hopefully can determine exactly how you did it

@Nai45 Okay full answers: yes, it is a fraud, I just started writing full explanation but I see you want to find this out yourself?

@lila yup, give me some time first but if I give up than you can tell me :)

ok

@lila You monster! Not again!

@lila I believe I have reached a conclusion

@Nai45 Wow nice, I am all ears then!

@lila I think you had multiple "batches" of two lines of the sentence, which you mixed throughout, in order to diversify columns, as in some places there were glitches that were spread throughout paragraphs that were replicas... I don't know though, am I close?

for example the boxes in my drawing represent replica paragraphs, and they are color-coded (kind of, I missed a bunch though)

@Nai45 I think you are pretty close, but you are greatly overestimating my skills and effort :D Do you want full answer now?

@lila yes please with sugar on top; thank you

@Nai45 yes I interpreted it as such, that same colors mean copied fragments

@Nai45 Okay I have written the sentence only once instead of 47 times; I did the first and original one with capital "T", and then I copied it and in the copy I removed capital "T" and replaced it with "t", and also replaced the second letter "h" to further throw off any attempts of pattern finding; you could notice that the 'h' letter in "thou' is the same in all sentences except the first one. I copied it to make 46 instances of identical texts, then ...

@Nai45 ...I marked and resized many (but not all) of them a little: some were elongated in width, some in both height and width, some I shrinked in width, etc. all random combinations, so that first impression makes them look not obviously the same, and any pixel analysis would be thrown off by artifacts created via resizing. I also moved some of the lines a little left, right, up, and down randomly so that they do not immediately strike with unnatural, grid-aligned appearance.

@C.Koca Okay spoilers ^

From pets trivia: "The user who has cast the most close, reopen, (un)delete, (un)lock, (un)protect and migrate votes [...]" it seems a little bit off for me, am I right to remember that (un)lock and (un)protect is not vote-based at all?

@AllisonC Please tell me, what is the name of your axolotl? I do not remember whether I ever asked or whether have you ever mentioned her name. I included my drawings of her in the Meta Q&A, but I captioned them with a placeholder "Allison C's Axolotl the Axolotl" and it does not look quite right! Thanks!

My new babies:

Snickers and Tater-Tot

@Jolenealaska Sweet, thanks for sharing! By the way, how do you weigh them? Weigh yourself, pick up one of them and weigh yourself holding them, subtract? I am sorry but I couldn't resist asking this question :D

:D

It's funny you should make that particular joke just now, because I was actually just thinking about weighing them.

@Jolenealaska Adorable! How old are they?

I've had them for 4 days. They were an impulse purchase at a pet store (I know I know I know) ** But they were so cute! And tame!**

So I am not entirely sure how old they are.

That's part of why I was thinking of weighing them.

I'm going to guess about 10-12 weeks.

I believe they are sisters.

cool :)

I'm just tickled with them.

And I live in a small apartment so this little impulse thing is a pretty big commitment, but I'm so game.
