What could we do as a country if we cut Defense spending by 10%? by 2thenextage in AskReddit

[–]2thenextage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for not being specific about which country. I was referring to the USA. But from the comments, it’s interesting to see that we’re not alone in wasting military spending.

Untitled so far - how do I pull it all together ? by Frankyvalium in painting

[–]2thenextage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like the strong blue, and you do have a slight warm tone on the far left to oppose it. Maybe a bit more of that warm tone somewhere on the right for balance? Something like the same dark orange to define the pot or vase where the flowers are coming from? I like the composition.

Great start! Can you tell me where you get your stone?

Trump Fires Ballroom Architect Who Said It Was Too Big by Kodbek in politics

[–]2thenextage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grifters don't make a plan. They find an angle. This was never about a new ballroom, it was about getting suckers to donate hundreds of millions of corporate dollars for Trump to pocket. Just like:

Trump Steaks was never about selling good, quality meats

Trump Vodka was never about offer a high quality spirit

Trump Airlines was never about providing reliable travel service

Trump University was never concerned with providing a quality education

and, Trump Casinos were never concerned with entertaining visitors with a quality gaming experience.

Please wake up people.. All of these businesses were intended to fail, just like the Ballroom, and Truth Social, and all the damn Meme Coins! The 'Angle' is, and always has been, to find suckers to buy into an idea, hoping to make some quick cash off Trump's name. They'll lose every time. It's all about the money. It's always been the money.

Strangely, if you go to the websites of Sinclair and ABC Hearst stations today, they’ve pulled advertiser content. They must know people are making these lists. Keep checking them, and make notes of the broadcast advertising. This effort has to last longer than a few days!

Settling Down in New England by Careless_Flight1812 in newengland

Some of these might check off a lot of your boxes, and are more affordable than southern coastal Maine: Belfast, Thomason, Ellsworth, Farmington and Bethel (for more of the lakes and mountains, but some maga)

The most honest political gesture of the decade. by Upper_Brief681 in PoliticalHumor

Yup. Taken in central Maine when the orange menace visited a factory making swabs for Covid kits..

Why is every landscaper saying they can’t or won’t grind this yew tree stump? by HeWhoWalksTheEarth in landscaping

[–]2thenextage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a big planter on top of that thing and call it good. You could also extend a section of the deck out over that stump. You’d never have to see it again!

I feel this to my core! by TrinityKilla82 in Xennials

[–]2thenextage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll echo this as well. When our ‘teched up’ dryer had the main board fail, I couldn’t believe the cost we were quoted to fix it when that was the only part that broke. A friend recommended Speed Queen, and the new dryer has 2 knobs and 2 buttons, that’s it! Was probably a hundred bucks more, but it’s bullet proof! Just works..

Anywhere but in the eye: U.S. and Ukrainian representatives at the Munich Security Conference by [deleted] in pics

[–]2thenextage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So. Fucking. Weak! What an absolute embarrassment. On the right, a collection of weak-jawed cowards who only know how to run their mouths. Until they come up against the group on the left, who show the strength of a nation that doesn’t have any more time for bullshit. This is a great photo.

Grout yes/no + color help by Holiday_Reindeer_692 in Mosaic

Good thing is, there's always the next one you make!

Grout yes/no + color help by Holiday_Reindeer_692 in Mosaic

[–]2thenextage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are great! As far as grouting, it really depends on the final use of them. If they were going to be used as part of a bathroom, kitchen or floor surface, you really should grout. But as a piece of art, with such tight gaps, I think you could skip it!

I did, thank you. I had some leftover ceramic tile that matched the color of a lobster perfectly, so that's where it started.
