Parts of it were, but parts were hand drawn, all of the text was put in manually with the comic neue font, and the whole thing was assembled piece by piece in gimp.
From today, dialing 999 won’t get you the emergency services. And that’s not the only thing that’s changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers mean they’re not just the emergency services — they’re your emergency services. So, remember the new number: 0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3.
One thing that's overlooked about the Romans and lead exposure is that they did have organic forms of oral chelation available, which helped mitigate the effects. The most commonly quoted version of which is eating garlic, but many foods and nutrients can either decrease the amount of lead you absorb from the other foods that you eat, or increase the amount of lead that you excrete, which decreases their effects on your body and brain.
Of course, these foods by themselves are not going to completely remove all of the lead in your blood, but it would have reduced the amount, so it's not like they were completely raw-dogging lead in their wine.
Keep your eyes open for opportunities. Sure, you work in insurance, but surely they need ads and signs and such, maybe you can independently put forth a few products in the environment you work in and make a name for yourself serving the needs you find where you find them.
I work in IT now, but I used to be a musician. Some of my music has been used in training videos for companies I've worked for, evne though I didn't get any credit I got paid my normal wages to make music. I learned image editing and creation in gimp and some of my images have been used in multi-million dollar court cases.
Being a jack of all trades is typically looked down on by snooty people who don't know that the full saying is, "Jack of All Trades, Master of None, Oftentimes better than a Master of One".
I work in IT, everyone in the workplace that doesn't work in IT is basically a child when it comes to computers, so I can explain computers to a child.
Not casting aspersions or anything, but after the 5th time you've taught the same 63 year old doctor how to use a mouse you start to recognize a pattern, and I've been doing it long enough that I have started to successfully guess and solve the problem while people are still trying to find the words to describe the problem to me.
Best: None. Weddings are pretty boring. I had fun at mine I guess but I got chewed out afterwards because people kept coming to me and asking me to do things and apparently I was supposed to be glued to my new wifes side the whole time.
Worst: Went to a friends wedding, somehow got mistaken as the groom by the priest, which I cleared up, but then during the ceremony the priest said, "I believe that with the power of Jesus any marriage can work, even between people of different races" while looking directly at me, the only non-white (Lakota) person in the entire room.
Being as that god is typically considered to be the Christian God, then the dogmatic principle of, "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" should come into play, at least in the western world. Their invitation is from the true owner of the home, the state, which supersedes the current occupants authority as, "all nations are created by God".
However there may be some concept of primacy of house and home that in God's eyes turns out to be more important than the political societal contract we live under that has an exemption for protection from evil supernatural entities, as otherwise a long-lived vampire could simply manipulate the population to get themselves elected as a ruler and cause the citizens to lose one of their fundamental protections from the denizens of the night.
That being said, most law-abiding homeowners would probably permit the entry based on the existence of the warrant by default, so it's likely a moot point.
I know this is wrong, but when I think about time and dimensions, I think of the fourth dimension being like our physical first dimension, and the fifth like our second and the sixth like our third.
So the moment now that you are in would be the sum of all of your first, second, and third dimensions currently in the fourth dimension, and then the fifth dimension would be the sum of everything you are from the moment you are born to the moment you die, all of your fourth dimension movements making like a wibbly wobbly, timey, wimey thing, and then the sixth dimension would be all the potential times of all of the lives and experiences that ever exist.
Like I said, I know this is wrong, but this is what I enjoy thinking about.
In it, Roddy Piper has special glasses that allows him to see past these like weird replacement human alien creatures disguises, so in this screenshot he's wearing the glasses and so you can see a couple of the aliens faces in like blended in amongst the people and originally behind the screenshots or behind the images on the billboards you would see signs that say stuff like "obey" and "reproduce".
I chose to use the black and white copy even though that wasn't really perfect because it helped me not have to worry about shading in all of the colors for the images that I pasted in, because I am not a Photoshop expert.
Surprisingly, I'm much more okay with it if I'm lied to. If you tell me no, no, no, there are no bugs in this, and then I eat it, and I do not detect bugs in it, and it turns out after the fact that there were bugs in it, okay fine, you got me, fair game.

My demons are chameleons:
They look like my friends
My family
And everything I love about myself.
Does that help you see
Why it is so hard to fight them?
