What do you think about this site?
Not bad, but what’s the tax bite?

Their plumage is indistinguishable, but if you see the pair, you can tell them apart by the female bald eagle being a fair bit larger than the male.

So she’s probably the one on the left.

Yay… A bird where the female isn’t drab, and can hold her own!

That’s the case for most birds of prey.
Except for the Klingon ones.

It wasn’t the earthquake that did most of the damage.

I just finished a Clive Cussler novel that included this disaster. Good read.

A 24″ × 24″ copy     CAN BE YOURS FOR     U.S. $6,500.00 (you can get a 40″ × 60″ print for $25,000.00).

Or you can download this one and make an 8″ x 8″ print for the cost of ink and paper.

Resolution nowhere near as good, but it hardly matters in a sandstorm.

For a savings of ~ $6,499.80 (or $24,999.80) it’ll do 😁

Yes… The “alike” ones aren’t completely alike.

There are certain features given to them that match… but the actual characters might look a bit different.

I decided to go with the spirit, if not the letter, of the intended contest.

If it’s a husky, that would have to be a tiny child, if it’s a malamute, it could be a small adult.

I have to think the intent of the original post was humor, and it wouldn’t be funny if the dog were pounding on a tiny child.

So whatever the logic of breed sizes, it HAS to be a huge dog and a small adult.

It isn’t a husky, anyway… They’re more fluffy.

It looks an awful lot like the huskies we had. I suppose there is a long-hair version, but ours were both short hair as in the GIF. Despite somewhat recently owning two huskies and having been around two malamutes (when I was 6-10yrs old), I still have trouble telling the breeds apart.

I wish I still had software with an eyedropper tool, but I don’t know any for Android tablets.

If you do… Download the image and open it in that software.

You can easily grab the color from one sphere and paint it onto another and see that they’re the same.

Our eyes are very heavily influenced by the red green and blue stripes that run across them.

They’re slightly off, but still representative of the colors in the RGB receptors in our eyes, which mix those three into all the colors of the rainbow (with a little help from the black/white light/dark ones).

The part going across each sphere leaves out two of the bands, so our vision is fooled into mixing different colors.

Paint out the stripes altogether with the color you picked up, and you’ll see the true color.

Paint a pathway with it to the next sphere and take a look!

Nope. I tried turning saturation on the stripes that cross the balls to 0, I tried painting them black, I tried your trick of sampling one and painting it onto another. No matches.

Thanks.

I’ve been frustrated by not being able to do that stuff without my computer.

I was speaking in terms of similar pictures I’ve seen, thinking this would be the same, but I guess it’s not.

I just discovered that my tablet “gallery” app has been updated to have some better drawing tools… I’m hoping to see for myself in a little while.

There might be a version of Gimp that you can run. It’s freeware that you can download. It’s very powerful. I think the only thing that Photo$hop has that Gimp lacks is AI for for atomically removing objects.

As a follow-up to my analysis, I want to note that there was a lot of bleed from the lines onto the balls. As far as I could tell, they may have originally been white balls, but if you remove all of the bleed, there is no ball left.

This is an interesting site I came across. It is a     COLOUR BLINDNESS TEST SITE     and as it struck me as credible I’m posting it here. There are explanations of the various tests and what non-colour blind people are supposed to see as opposed to what those who are subject to some form of it will see.
By the site, I see all colours normally, which agrees with every motor vehicle drivers’ colour test I’ve ever taken.

I tried to simulate total color blindness, and then red/green color blindness on plate 14. First I removed saturation from the picture, then I returned it to normal and just turned down saturation on red & green. In neither case could I reproduce what a color blind person would see. BTW, my color vision is normal.

The other day there was a puzzle in which the object was to find a submarine.

I made a solution but people were already finding it, and I was tired, so I never uploaded or posted it.

But since then, I’ve heard people complaining about the submarine, saying it doesn’t look like one, or it looks like a blimp, etc.

It makes me think that maybe some people missed seeing part of it… Cos I thought it was kind of a cute little submarine, with its big periscope …

I wanted to post this last night… but I was out Wednesday in the 95° F/35 C heat, and it wiped me out, and I fell asleep before I could post anything.

So I know this is a bit late… But just in case anybody wants to take a closer look…..

here it is!

Hi Susan. My daughter and her boyfriend were in Santa Rosa last week. He was there on business and she flew out to join him for a few days. They love your pizza place. They hiked on the coast and in the Redwoods and went to a couple wineries. They said the best sandwiches in the world are at a place near one of the wineries just called “The General Store”.

Cool.

You know, Santa Rosa has almost 280,000 people… We have more than one pizza place!

Wish I knew which one, in case I could try it.

….

I know of two places called “The General Store”… and neither is in Santa Rosa, but there could be more.

One in Napa, near lots of wineries, the other in Healdsburg, actually called the Dry Creek General Store, near a couple.

I’ve never been to either… I don’t get around much😁.
