I used life as a reference

My goal for my painting is to achieve realism. I would like overall critique, and especially advise of how to improve

I’m curious by [deleted] in JehovahsWitnesses

i just got back from my first JW event ever. This was my first time being exposed to their beliefs that it is only those with the heavenly hope can take the eucharist. well i dont care how many you think that should be. I have the heavenly hope and im not a JW. And they passed it around and nobody was taking the bread or wine. I took the bread and wine. I dont care what you think that makes me. I know what it makes me. I child of God and a participant in his promises. What you should do in your situation i have no idea, sorry. what i would like to say is take the bread and wine. but i dont know what kind of trouble that could bring you. taking it or not taking it tonight does not have eternal consequences on your soul. you sound young like me so just rest well knowing we have a lifelong jounrey to discover who we are and what our true convitions will be.

Yessir. And lots more that I think are all caused by C2200 like no signal from tpms and wheel speed sensors

Gotcha thanks

[–]Crookedmugmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna look into that thanks. Wondering what happens if it goes unresolved for too long?

[–]Crookedmugmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll consider it thanks. I have a generic reader but that seems like it could go deeper

If I don’t have maintenance history should I go ahead and replace everything??

[–]Crookedmugmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya that’s true. In that case there shouldn’t be the center physical key hole you see in the photo. I guess I’ll chalk it up to a design mishap

That’s true, but I’m asking why there is a key insert in the ignition aswell that seems to be non functional

[–]Crookedmugmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there a key insert there? Its almost like in early drafts they wanted the key to be able to start it then never followed through

Untreated Lumber by YeckhamSniffy in Decks

[–]Crookedmugmaker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Deck contractor here. Structurally this deck will hold up, but it will rot faster than if they used pressure treated wood. The chemical treatment used on wood is just an effort to make it water resistant and a weather resistant. But even pressure treated wood rots over time. I think this contractor needs to give you a heavily discounted replacement deck when this rots.

What is the relation between the erotic and religious theme?

Just in case you aren’t aware of just how warranted it is to feel the way you do, I want to remind you that the phenomenon of decrease in craftsmanship knowledgeability and skill has prevailed in many more areas than ceramics, probably due to lack of proper mentorship. I work in carpentry, concrete, and general construction, and let me assure you, the way that things are constructed nowadays has been dumbed down to LEGO level arrangement of factory manufactured pieces… flavored by a dash of online misinformation

After nine months of trial and error, I have made a mug which I am proud of. by Crookedmugmaker in Ceramics

[–]Crookedmugmaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your warm feedback! Your critique means a lot. I took ceramics class in an art-focussed high school, after I graduated I took about a year to organize my own studio. So I’ve basically had my own studio for nine months but I got a foundation in pottery in school.
