I see a lot of Instagram people who offer courses and such for getting better at drawing - the videos I’ve seen seemed good but I’m wary of anything where the videos exists just to promote the course/book (example (https://www.theartcoach.com/)).
Anyone have any recs for books (physical or online)/courses/whatever to get a better grasp of drawing techniques and such? Yes “just practice” but I need the structure.
Today I got the first full month power bill since the solar went in. Our system pulls what it can from solar, saves extra to battery, and when the battery is empty pulls from the grid. Being this is Phoenix, in the summer, keeping the climate in our house livable is the primary power drain. It was 100F (38C) by 8:00 this morning. The silver lining of this weather is, it's sunny! Our power bill was ~$140 LESS this year than July last year. It's not 1 to 1 obviously, but I like it anyway.
🚨 Important deadline coming up (July 25)! Americans should comment on FCC docket numbers 17-59 and 02-278, speaking out against their proposal to require government ID, physical address, and alternative phone number for all phone lines in the USA. Instructions: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/leave-fcc-comment-deadline-tomorrow/39337
While I'm sweating to shave every second off a fresh Omarchy install (so close to sub 1 minute!!), Windows just casually spends over AN HOUR on a brand new laptop doing god knows what. AND IT COMES PREINSTALLED?? Does anyone at Microsoft give a shit any more?

@bosconet Last outage it took like 1 hour to get to a human (had to pass many automated gates before it puts you through). Then the answer was "we'll send out a tech".
Tech came and took an hour to decide to swap out modems. New modem, 10 min later, it worked.
