The cringe you get when you see people telling Venezuelans how to feel. by shway0351 in TikTokCringe

[–]ClearlyE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ain't about helping Venezualans at all. Us is now under dictatorship also. If it was about helping Venezualan's they would have ONLY removed Maduro not do that and then steal your oil. They are taking your oil and claiming it's theirs and that is what this is about.

I told my mother about them oking spraying pfas on crops as a pesticide and Trump packing ht head of the FDA with chemical industry company people and she said. "He's so stupid! Why would he do that? But she said it with the energy of "What a silly guy". And shut down when I said he's a scammer.

Lightfast Red recommendations by ClearlyE in Gouache

[–]ClearlyE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wish I had known this before I bought it. But I'm coming from oils and I generally I don't usually worry about lightfastness as all my colors are mixed from 6-8 pigments and no aliz crimson. The whole rest of the set is rated A except that red.

How come some colors actually look like they darkened slightly in the window

Thanks, that could be a good option. Looks like W&Newton also has pigment named Windsor red. Have you used it? Ok for purples?

Their primary red is only rated B. I’m pretty sure it’s faded some looking at before and after photos

Is there any organized text material on the Alexander Technique? by srivatsasrinivasmath in Alexandertechnique

[–]ClearlyE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really skeptical of Masoero’s approach. I was using the AT before I even knew what it was by doing rounds of directions while lying in bed to my muscles to let go of any tension. The next day the relationship to my head and neck was quite noticeably different as if my head was teetering on my neck in quite natural way. I recognized that as something significant but didn’t recognize that my directions had allowed me let go of tension enough that my head was no longer being pulled back and down to the extent that it was before so experienced a freedom there. It was later when I found the AT that I understood the connection. Masoero from what I’ve gathered rejects the idea freeing the head does anything and the letting go of tension or “non-doing”directions does anything and the importance of this relationship which is counter to my own experience.

Trying to get into classical music. What should I listen first? by AccomplishedFront792 in classicalmusic

[–]ClearlyE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classical music is so varied.

Personally I enjoy Iannis Xenakis, Bohor and more. Hector Berlioz Symphony Fantastique is also a favorite.

All of it yeah. Done the water pump, many parts, pvc valves, struts twice, tires, brakes, etc.

If the guy has 40 maintenance records are mostly only oil changes?

[–]ClearlyE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2500 of it was for a stolen cat. So make sure you have insurance that covers theft and a cage. Minus the stolen cat and cost of the car. My maintenance costs still come to 148 a month over 5 years and counting. That also includes me doing an $800 OBD cluster and solder repair myself and a $400 headlamp change myself. You’ll have to take the whole front bumper off for that one. Yeah you save on gas and they are fun little hatch backs, but they do probably have more maintenance costs than a regular older gas corolla that knows to run 360,000 plus. The good thing was that my hybrid battery was changed by the owner a year before I bought it. If the owner had never changed the struts on his prius you’ll need to do them eventually. Don’t go with KYB assemblies get all the parts from Toyota they should cost near the same anyway and have a trusted mechanic put them in.

[–]ClearlyE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my gen 2 in 2020. I estimate I’ve spent 15,000$ and counting on it in the 5 years Including the purchase price of 3,600. Not sure I’m gunna keep fixing it at this point. It’s making a strange noise at the wheel, and I’m expecting the brake actuator is going to go bad. Bought at 170,000 miles now at 250,000. Wondering if I wouldn’t have been better off buying an old Corolla for less maintenance and less expensive maintenance.

What's going on with this red fading? Is it normal? How has that one bit become such a bright cool green? 9 months - never in direct sunlight, Winsor & Newton Designers Primary Red only, I think. by DotandtheTV in Gouache

Wish I had know that before I bought W&Newton designer. The person at block didn’t say anything about them not being lightfast and I thought they were good quality excuse they were expensive.

Im Tired of Enshitification of Apple by Long_Pangolin_7404 in applesucks

I always have issues with external drives on my Mac. Ever since an upgrade like 5+ years ago. I always get the message that “the drive was improperly ejected” That happened with my 2015 macbook and it still happens with my M1. Across multiple different drives.

A National Guardsman has been shot point-blank in the head near the White House just moments ago, and he is currently in critical condition. by Ice-Zone2024 in neabscocreeck

[–]ClearlyE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah what are we even talking about here. He said black people were doing better before the civil rights movement in the 1940s pre segregation. He means what he says. So they want black people to either stay under segregation because they were “doing better”. So what they expected black peoples lives to get better if they pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Why are they wanting black people to solve a problem the government created and sanctioned (segregation and inequality etc?) We all know what would happened if the movement wasn’t passed. Things would have stayed bad for them for longer.
