While the current "crush" has more mysteries than any environmental law in Brazil, I remain with my drawings and poetry. I even wrote another poem in English! I even started to do functional training and yoga because of this! That is impressive. Yoga seems weird, but I am open to improving that...

Too bad they are invasive species. Is it possible to catch them with black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens)? I never did fly fishing, only fish with BSFL, a kind of boilie (at least I suppose, it is called in Brazil as "massinha" or "massa"), worms, and even rabbit food. Did I ever show...

It seems to be like asking Björk about farts... I have thought about this in certain situations, for example, during my gym exercises. I usually do not do this. Although I know that this is a normal process and bacteria produce gases with a foul odor due to hydrogen sulfide, I typically do not...

Today, I searched for the blending stumps and I did not find them. However, I have found something like this one, which is called "lápis borracha" or... maybe "eraser pencil"? It is different from the stick erasers I have found across the internet. I have tried today, but I did not exactly...

I have decided to search for blending stumps (known here as "esfuminho"). However, there are different categories ("numbers"), so I do not have any idea of the differences. For now, I am using a small paintbrush. For a stick eraser, I have been trying to use the eraser from my mechanical...

It looks like a Camaro, all right? It seems to be an interesting car. The engine seems to have cylinders in a "V" for its form. @Naughts Yeah, it seems to be a stick eraser (probably called here as "caneta borracha"). Do you think "3B" would be essential? Thank you for your tips and your feedback!

Video I made from the Caracara plancus: Once again, I tried to draw (observational drawing, theoretically). This sketching has failed... Fortunately, I had abandoned this terrible sketch, too. Shall we start drawing? Second attempt at drawing the hair. Third attempt. I have tried to use...

I do not recall saying this, but during my gym examination, I found out that I had gained lean muscle mass while also losing body fat. This, despite not going to the gym for so many weeks due to home refurbishment. A few weeks ago, I photographed this interesting Caracara plancus next home. I...

According to some journal articles, the Great Salt Lake brine shrimp are the best, however. Most cyst production in the world comes from the United States (more than 70 %, according to the article "Review on integrated production of the brine shrimp Artemia in solar salt ponds" from Van Stappen...

In some heat waves I have experienced (and Brazil itself), my tank reached about 32 ºC. After removing my lids, the situation improved slightly; I believe it became about 2 ºC cooler. Fortunately, my Betta never jumped. Well, it has been 2 years since he arrived home. Is it not that, my dear...

How have you been? Everything okay? A few weeks ago, I discovered more relatives and some good stories. My great-great-grandfather probably came from Hannover in the 1820s. I tried to search for any register of emigrants, but I have not found anything, unfortunately. I do not know where I could...

Okay, this may be a hyperfocus, passion, or something else, but, indeed, this poor muse became another victim of my countless dreams, words, and thoughts. "She is Hippolyte as a woman..." 1977 Ford Galaxie. A V8 car, extremely rare in Brazil. The last national car with an eight-cylinder...

Yesterday, we had the event "Senhor Espresso Vintage Cars", in Marechal Deodoro Plaza. From Friday to Sunday, I am also doing voluntary work at the 2025 Kermesse in the neighborhood (if this will help me to get a job, it is another story...). This time, I am giving support to serving Bauru to...

Seachem Flourish Glue seems to be a very interesting glue. I have never used any glue to attach anything to the aquarium; I have always used simply some weight over the rock and wood, and, in the case of the moss, I used fishing line, rubber band, or Elastricot. My dentist recently bought a...

I am thinking about buying a water bottle for my gym training, but with my own design. This simple thing below was made with a photo of my Betta (and Adobe Photoshop). Original photo: The design (the edges from his caudal and anal fins are weird, are they not?): MattW, here we are receiving...
