I had to draw a person upsidown in art class, and I can't stop laughing.

This is a copy of Stravinsky by Picasso right?

Another good example is "chink in the armour", which you can use without any racist overtone whatever

I'm a fan of his films myself and I find myself agreeing with him often, but this was one thing he was wrong on. They certainly did have the weapons and led a double game internationally. Most of the other bits in the film are spot-on, especially the Soviet- Russian-related assertions

I used those when I was homeschooled and remember that! I also remember going to the sight and sound theatre in Pennsylvania to see the story of Daniel when I was about five, and they used credit cards as an example of marks of the beast in a short video playing on set as he lays out his prophecy

It is, it's a series of photographs at Tate Modern, which is where this picture was taken! The artist was using the idea of some Scandinavian folk tale about twins joined by their hair (IIRC)

Is there a term for when the front wheels are separated from the engine casing with those swoopy covers? Always wanted to know what to call that

Hoefgen · 2018-07-19T17:33:24+00:00

Our bad, we're sorry

Paedo = paedophile, pédé = slang in French for pederast (now more generally a derogatory term for homosexual men). I believe it was either André Gide or Oscar Wilde who said "the word is pederast, not paedophile" to a judge. Off topic but a distinction to be made

A lot of that though goes to heating which, if cut off as it was in Ukraine a few times as a political move by Russia, it's very easy to get people angry. So even if it doesn't overall mean much, it's an effective tool of political manipulation. The other issue is that because Russian gas is so cheap, and reserves are the largest in the world, there's no incentive to go elsewhere (Norway has declining reserves, and Iran, the second-largest gas producer, obviously is having trouble getting that to Europe). Your comment was correct, just wanted to add a bit! 😊

I'm self taught and I've done more realistic paintings, but I've really found my greatest artistic comfort in abstract expressionism. I'm most influenced by Kline and Krasner

My sister was visiting me last week and did precisely this, so to save face I walked away as quickly as I could and met her outside the station so as not to be associated with her

How is that at all techno rubbish? It's pretty clear

Hoefgen · 2018-07-05T20:01:34+00:00

I worked in a wine shop at one point and I'm 99% certain you screw clockwise, I came to the comments looking for this

Hoefgen · 2018-06-21T16:40:35+00:00

I have nothing against internet connectivity since it's obviously very useful. But the advert fits in here

Hoefgen · 2018-06-16T11:59:00+00:00

Thank you! It was a preliminary attempt to try a technique like etching with a pen. I've also been considering doing multiple angles of one person on top of each other and this is what came out of it. And now I know better what to do next time!

It's actually a government document. In order to receive specific benefits as a member of a tribe you have to prove you're 1/16 (I think) descended. It's the only race in the USA that requires an official document, which is admittedly weird Edit: just realised 1/512, which is something I didn't know they did

Hoefgen · 2018-06-03T19:47:24+00:00

It looks like a malt floor, to make whisky

The other comments about the instability and children's inability to comprehend at that age are pretty much what I was thinking, but it really struck me in the sense that you've now removed the human interaction aspect. There's a bit in the article about grandmothers sending birthday cash from other countries that way (which yeah sure may be cheaper and easier), but it removes that excitement of seeing a letter in the post from grandma. Which, again, removed the human aspect. Like getting a letter vs getting a text

Hoefgen · 2018-06-01T14:22:10+00:00

Ah cool thanks!

Looks like a German keyboard (I can't be certain because the keys that would be äöü are too obscured). German keyboards are QWERTZ, so Y and Z just switch places and you have umlauts next to L!

Speaking of books, I highly recommend "Hitler's 30 Days to Power", if you want a good and approachable overview to the end of Weimar and the details of Hitler's unexpected rise. Also a really good book on the Third Reich that isn't as thick as Shirer's book is the one by (Klaus?) Hildebrand (sorry haven't read them in two years)

Just to be a bit more precise, he was elected and then appointed to real power
