What you can't see, is that the system also has a phototransistor. If I switch modes, as daylight fades these get more and more yellow, like flux does.

Bobby says hello. I think I got a spit wash seconds after this photo was taken.

The letter of support for the fellowship I applied for in Ireland from @ewcss.info genuinely made me cry.

Is this sort of what you're going for here @finetraces786.bsky.social I made it in paint, hence the serious "graphic design is my passion" vibes. (Can you tell I usually need to draw my figures badly before I can make them?)

This is Bobby. He's 4 and has a ridiculous cup of tea habit. Also likes to be tucked in under the blanket on my mum's bed. His water bowl is a ceramic cappuccino mug, because he won't drink out of a metal water bowl - what do you think he is? Some sort of animal??

So this is how the interface should change.
A screenshot from the reference management software Zotero, showing how the interface changes when a users database of papers contains a paper that has been retracted. There is a red banner at the top of the screen which reads "An item in your database has been retracted - view item". On the right hand side of the screen, an info panel shows why the paper has been retracted.

So we didn't make the tart. I think to do it justice, I need a better grasp of the sculpting tools. We started with a swirl of buttercream and things escalated rapidly.
