Help! Windows 11 Pencil Tool leaves a bleed/aliased edge
I use MS Paint for pixel art and similar purposes. I use the Pencil Tool as it leaves a solid single colour, and the Paint Bucket can fill a shape usually with no jagged off-colour pixels.
However in Windows 11 version, this isn't the case now and the Paint Bucket Tool becomes near useless as Pencil lines now leave a jagged bleed/alias edge.
How do you disable this in Windows 11? It seems to only occur for colour on colour, but works as normal when using a new transparent Layer.

Front 242's prediction for New Year's Day 2029
Has anyone else had this in their back of their minds or am I just going a bit mad?
In the track Circling Overland, it opens with "one, one, twenty, twenty nine" (1-1-2029)
Having been to their big farewell tour, I'm not sure what could be in the works for this date.
I'm sure it was just a futuristic sounding year for the context of the song's lyrics.

Ways to be faster to complete in bed?
I'm having issues finishing quickly enough in bed, and I've made jokes with my partners (poly) that it's more of a curse than blessing.
I'm 33 and in good health, average by almost all health and lifestyle standards, but for as long as I've known I've taken my time. Lasting anywhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours of physical/penetrative intercourse, I can only count a couple of occasions where events have ended in fewer than 5 minutes. This averages at about an hour for a regular session. Even with extended foreplay, teasing or edging, I find that the scales almost reset when it comes to doing the deed.
Other context maybe; I'm regular, usually in the mood and sexually active 2-3 times a week. I'm bi and this occurs with any gender of partner. A few years ago I'd have described myself as a sex addict, with some months having excess of 15 different partners, and an urge beyond control, but this doesn't seem related as my endurance has been an issue for over 15 noticeable years. Similarly, I'm now medicated for anxiety with a very low dose, but again, the issue existed before, and is only slightly worse as a side effect where it does indeed take a little longer now.
I have much less concern when consorting with myself, I can find 10 minutes there.
My best theory is that I have an element of anxiety when engaging with other people, but I don't consciously know what this may be. I've held anxieties around sexual health and pregnancy accidents before, but found even when these were ruled out of equations, I still find I'm on the verge of collapse and summoning for assistance to end events.
I've seen some toys or accessories which report to effect stamina etc, but I'm not sure if I'm just missing something obvious or if therapy is some kind of solution.

FF7 Sephiroth medieval manuscript
Biblically accurate Sephiroth - the One Winged Angel
Drawn with a mix of mouse and laptop trackpad
- Flowers in border are those loved by Aerith
- Letter S in the shape of a one winged serpent to reference Sephiroth and his Satanic imagery, but also the green serpent he slays early in the game,
- Shield with a wheel to the right, pulling on Ophanim depictions which are interlocking wheels covered in eyes and shrouded in wings, I see as an inspiration for Sephiroth's form here.
- The Latin along the scroll are from his theme song and translate to "Come, come, O come, please don't let me die" and are taken from the Carmina Burana manuscript which was a selection of medieval poems originally. Key artwork of this manuscript depicts a large wheel similar to the shield emblem.
- A VII corner detail to reference Final Fantasy VII
- Ending with some marginalia of his katana, the Masamume.
- Overall depiction of Sephiroth is accurate to the games, his main body wings and doubled halo crown all suit the fancy manuscript page design I've often seen reserved for Saints and Heavenly beings,

I'm a Sheffield born artist and I create medieval manuscripts in MS Paint.
This month I got some works printed at A5, and took them out to places to see if they wanted to help me sell.
First was Off the Canvas, a great venue with other wonderful makers.
Second was Robin's Nest, a cosy geeky anime comic shop, worth a visit!
This has all happened in a couple of weeks and it's a bit overwhelming learning all the ropes of being an artist.
Next plans is to do art markets and make some other things like stickers and some hand-made stuff!

The man, the myth, the legend: Leeroy Jenkins.
Styled and decorated like many medieval depictions of Jesus and Saints. Leeroy is positioned like a brave knight in action, a halo adorning his head, and chicken in hand. Lots of religious imagery and references, including little cherubim angels (be not afraid). It seems the Cupid style of cherubs was more popular in the Renaissance.
Beneath Leeroy is his battle cry quote before he cries his own name to lead the charge. Flanked either side of this are the 2 statues featured on the WoW Login screen, and initialed with an A in the style of the game's Desktop icon.
No fear, no regret, no hesitation - together, we can all be Leeroy Jenkins.
