@th3j35t3r That required some planning. Really careful methodical planning.

Great museum. Everybody get there if you can.
The hall that's in is FULL of history, and just outside, a ginormous fountain:

@Museek I think I get it. The grids are not uniform because the beads and stitches vary?
The gimp option I was thinking of allows varying x and y independently, but that's it. This has x width at 10 pixels and y at 5:

@Museek i have another thought. In Photoshop or gimp it's possible to coarsen a picture, i.e. reduce the pixel count. It's basically like over laying a grid.
Won't scratch the coding itch. Might work though to make a bead grid from a picture.
Don't think I can explain it. Can make an example.

@Museek
Kinda neat - it's going to make an alternating pattern with a couple colors.
Don't know how you get from that to arbitrary patterns. Is that needed? I don't know what the end result should look like.

@Museek
Might also look for pixel art tools? Probably more common, at least in open source. Pixels are like beads, right? (I don't know anything about beading)

@Museek
I go to Github when I have a question like that, if only for ideas. Can filter by language, so:

@Queasy Happened routinely during WWII, including against white NCOs of African American regiments. Army never stepped in, quite the contrary.

Racial epithets and threats of violence were part of daily life on Southern military bases, and off base, African Americans were restricted to the "Black" sections of town.

"If they stepped even a foot outside of that, they were threatened or attacked by white police or sheriffs," Delmont says.

I am slowly losing my mental faculties and/or I missed a message about the icons swapping for "My Friends" and "Community Firehose"? Were they always this way?

@LiberalLibrarian @sentientdessert really don't think that's correct for NC. Dem/Rep urban/rural split with most population urban. I think.

@sjvn I think @spacesloth JUST asked for this.

Except his exact words were...unrepeatable

Jaoan points a spotlight at Google and Apple app stores, may take action to open them.

The most surprising information in the report:

Love SymbianOS.
