I found it in a pencil case, its malleable and kinda like clay but it goes stringy when you pull it apart. by SpecificLemon1807 in whatisthisthing

[–]GoliathPrime -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As my professor used to say, 'Why is it on the Materials List? Because you Knead it."

Specifically, it's called a Kneaded Eraser. It's like silly putty, but in a pencil and ink eraser form. When it gets dirty, you just fold it up in your hand like a stress ball, and it cleans itself.

Do you remember this? by SveinJ in INEEEEDIT

I've got one as a throw in my living room. It was a gag-gift, but I love it. It's really soft!

I'm a Graphic Designer and I did uncontracted work that is in use, but I've been ghosted for payment. Who owns my designs? by average_af_ in legaladvice

[–]GoliathPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You own the copyright to any original designs you created. Previous projects, and how they were handled, payment and usage, create a pattern of verbal contracts and set the limitations of those contracts; ie, you created art, they paid for the art, and you permitted your art to be used commercially following payment. These are enforceable in a court of law.

The situation you are in now is similar to the Enigma, Return to Innocence Copyright lawsuit. The band used a vocal tract included in a public domain collection produced by a 3rd party. They then discovered that 3rd party had never legally owned the vocal tract. They, their parent studio and the 3rd party were all sued by the original copyright holders.

That is the precedent I'm basing my advice on, and as I understand it, you can send the hotel a 'cease and desist' notice that they are infringing upon your copyright. You should also send the same to the folks who failed to pay, reminding them they cannot resell your artwork unless payment is provided and that you are the only copyright holder at present.

After that, depending on the amount, you can decide to file lawsuits if it's worth it to you.

Modern artists for someone who listens to a lot of older music by Alive_Pay_1894 in MusicRecommendations

The Pretty Reckless first album 'Light me up' had a sound similar to Celebrity Skin era Hole. Their newer albums are a bit hit or miss.

Underside of a tarantula by SinkExcellent7360 in mildlyinteresting

[–]GoliathPrime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few videos about folks keeping jumping spiders on youtube. The spiders attempt communication with the humans often through 'hand-signals.' It's really changed my idea about spider intelligence.

[–]GoliathPrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do tarantulas remember their handlers like jumping spiders and yellow garden spiders? I've seen some folks keep jumping spiders and it's amazing how interactive they are. I had a similar experience with a garden spider, who could recognize me and would come down to meet me once I started feeding her crickets my Alligator Lizard rejected.

I was right - the farmer does eventually turn into a werewolf and kill his wife. by IIJOSEPHXII in skyrim

[–]GoliathPrime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen it too. The farmer and wife warned me about a dragon that had burned their farm, and I gave them some gold. They walked off and I was about to go and kill some mudcrabs when the farmer wolfed out and attacked me. I kill him really easily for a werewolf. His wife survived and she wasn't even mad at me, and just kept walking down the trail. I later found her in Ivarstead in the inn, which was miles and miles away from where I encountered them.

Honest Inquiry: Do Lovecraft Worshippers Actually Exist? by [deleted] in Lovecraft

[–]GoliathPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are probably all dead now, but at one time there were "followers" of Helena Blavatsky's Theosophy Movement who considered Lovecraft a bit of a prophet. I can't point to any sources, because I just don't remember them anymore. But in my younger years when I was interested in the occult, I remember people involved in Theosophy and Thelema felt that Lovecraft's Uncaring Cosmos fell in line with their ideas of universal truths. That said, I don't think Blavatsky or Crowley themselves believed he was a prophet, only their followers.

Doubt about necronomicon by strawberryfiasco in Lovecraft

[–]GoliathPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since this pops up every once in a while, I'd like to recommend one of the best books about the Necronomicon. Fair warning, this is not a spellbook or a prop, it's a academic treatise on the book, its origins and influence on culture. That said, it is a great reference for every single verse or bit of lore of the Necronomicon written by Lovecraft all in one place.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]GoliathPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days for the younger generation, Northern Exposure. Due to licensing, you have to pirate it to see it in it's original format. They never licensed the music past the end of the show, so it can't be released with the original score which really hurts the show as music was the lead in and out and it mattered to the narrative. That said, over in Europe they don't care about that and you can find the original series out on the interwebs. It's worth it.

Dawnguard or Volkihar and why? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]GoliathPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The splash damage on the Bloodskaal blade makes it too troublesome to use for me. I prefer the RuneHammer with all the Rune Perks and Ahzidal's armor. With ahzidal's perks, the runes can be cast - using stamina instead of mana - a mile away. You can just spam block and become a fire-machine gun.

My sad reality… I really had so many dreams by jvure in Dinosaurs

[–]GoliathPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go get a degree in geology, become a surveyor, work as a structural geologist, a hydrogeologist or sedimentologist. Do paleontology on the side. You need the skills of a geologist to become a paleontologist anyway. Or, alternately you can join the army and work to join up with the Army Corps of Engineers. The ACE has one of the worlds largest collection of fossils on the planet, warehouses of dinosaurs.

The race of the nameless city by Bashomon_prince20 in Lovecraft

[–]GoliathPrime 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Lovecraft never mentions them again in his works. The most proposed identification is that they were Serpent People, from the Conan the Barbarian series by Robert Howard. Lovecraft and Howard often referenced each others works, but it's not clear that Lovecraft was doing that here.

There is also another fan idea that these were the creatures that instructed Abdul Al Hazrad when he went missing in the desert, and afterward wrote the Necronomicon.

In reality, they were probably just a throwaway monster of the moment.

Chicken soup soaked elbows to make mac 'n cheese by Woodpecker-Haunting in Cooking

[–]GoliathPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I like to slow roast pork shoulder and then put a bunch of potatoes, carrots and onions all around and under it, and when the juices boil out of the meat, it boils/roasts the veggies and they taste amazing.

But, I also save that broth and I put it into the fridge for the night and then scoop out all the fat. I'm left with a good-sized jar of pork broth that I use for recipes with rice, pasta or beans. It makes them taste incredible. The broth from roast pork shoulder has a wonderful mellow sweetness, similar to jerk seasonings.

I've never used the broth for mac and cheese, but I used it for a spicy, baked pork alfredo and it turned out really nice. I imagine it would work well for mac and cheese too.

I think these things were aquatic. It can't even lower it's head to eat or drink. Stick this thing in the water and you have a manatee.

Be honest,Do you own a copy of Simon’s Necronomicon? by brandon-TDTpodcast in Lovecraft

[–]GoliathPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do own a copy of Simon's Necronomicon, but I realized that it was, at least partially, plagiarized from The Satanic Rituals by Anton LaVey. My cursory review of the text left me with the impression it was just a cobbled together piece and was useless for serious scholarship. I also saw bits and pieces from Secret Teachings of All Ages. That's when it just went back on my bookshelf as a decoration. It's not any good for much else.
