There's a higher quality version at the Mega link in the description, but I can't upload it because it's over the 100 MB file size limit.
I still don't really see that big of a difference between Gura and Saba in terms of general body type. To me they're both "cute and small anime girl" and that's basically it, they're both Vtuber models that were/are used by the same adult woman. So I find the various times I've seen people drawing a moral line between between Gura and Saba to be really strange and arbitrary. Especially in a case like this when the artist is drawing Gura off model anyways by making her thicker, they could do the same with Saba. I don't know, sorry for the rambling lol

Saba's model is unmistakably smaller. Gura's model is arguably petite, though some of her later outfits made her appear younger, especially her casual outfit. Saba is just outright a loli.
I do agree that it's a bit of an empty criticism when you're not even drawing Gura on model to begin with, though.

I know in terms of canonical height Saba is itty bitty, and Gura is like 4'7, but I think there's something that people are seeing that I'm simply not really seeing, and maybe I'm not capable of seeing. Where as I said to me they're both just...small and cute anime girls.
Also yeah, an artist could simply draw Saba in a way that they're more comfortable with.
If it's more convenient there is also the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC. It's held every year during Spring around the time the cherry blossoms normally reach peak bloom. The festival commemorates the around 3k cherry blossom trees the mayor of Tokyo City gifted Washington DC in 1912. Apparently some 12 varieties of cherry blossoms present with Yoshino cherry and Kwanzan cherry making up the bulk at ~70% and ~13% of the trees respectively.

I could cautiously assume that biological life would win in a direct military clash with digital life. Non-autonomy of machines, direct dependence on infrastructure and data transmission, very high dependence on weather and temperature conditions, very short operating time on one charge, extreme vulnerability to microwave guns, masers, Tesla guns, electronic warfare systems, very high visibility of machines by EW systems, energy signature sensors, large weight, dependence on maintenance and, in my opinion, the biggest threat to them: transparency of their code, algorithmicity, predictability, the ability to reflash software. A combination of psi-viruses, neuroviruses, quantum viruses, conventional but very strong malware, especially if the virus has its own personality, as in GITS, then this is very dangerous for them(this does not exist now, but in theory, it is possible that this may appear in the future) and an advanced AI will realize that it will not be able to win the war
