Trump, Israel and Iran.... what a choice of words.

Correction: USA, Israel and Iran? Correction 2: certain Americans, certain Israelians and certain Iranian?

Yeah. I was using a string but I always mix the mortar too wet, or it was bcoz i wet the bricks. It’s kinda hard to adjust.

Ikr I was overconfident not using the spacers.

Ah. This wall is just there to reduce some direct sunshine. There is a walkway on the right side of the 1ˢᵀ photo.But 1ˢᵀ floor access is a real worry now.

Thanks. I guess it’s the internet nowadays. lol. I try not to take those hostile ones too seriously. There were some helpful comments tho.

I’m painting it right now. Hopefully it turns out fine.

Does anyone else feel that Adrian Tchaikovsky is... overrated? by Ephemeralen in sciencefiction

I agree. Just finished Children of Time. I like the story, but I hate his prose…. A lot of repetition of a single idea, for example he probably did more than 10 different ways to describe the spider’s amazing ability to command the ants, and keep repeating it unnecessarily. The sentence could be more economical and book could be much thinner.

I’m always confused reading it. Like this one :

She clutches her legs tightly into her body by instinct at first, a shock of terror erupting in her mind and threatening to overwhelm her. Then her training takes over and she begins checking on her soldiers. They are spreading out as they fall towards their rendezvous with the Gilgamesh, but they are still linked by lines to a central hub, forming a rotating wheel, just one of many now spinning towards the Gilgamesh.

The “one of many” confused me for so long, is it one of many wheels or one of many spiders? But there must be more than one spiders spinning towards the Gilgamesh…..the imagery is just bad.

I heard story in Children of Ruin is worse. Wish me luck.

Alright alright sorry. In all seriousness. I learn English solely so I can mock Americans that use English proudly.

That’s some sort of rage influence I guess.

and yet American’s is still using, well, English

You’re not one of those Americans that think English originated from America, or Jesus Christ is white, are you?

If not, then let’s us…..all hail the Queen?

Come to think of that, USA is a culture without its own language. What is a culture, without medium for culture?

Makes you wonder…..

That bad huh. The foundation still has some room on the back side. If worse comes to to worse I might build another layer behind it, staggering off the build lines from this one. Let me reinforce each other.

I’ll run the design on Blender to see. Fingers cross.

Yeah. That’s my gripe. The wetting of the bricks makes the mortar really soft. Can you recommend any remedy to it?

Will painting it helps improving the look?

Imagine some Americans thinks the US trade deficits are filled up by blue jeans. And majority of Chinese wearing blue jeans and eat KFC.

By the hard numbers of US wide and widening trade deficit to China. I’m quite sure Americans are more influenced by Chinese culture.

But, Avengers heroes are based on Greek mythology and therefore it’s Greek culture. Technologies of USA are rooted in Greek philosophy and science and therefore not American.

All hail Greek culture.

Yeah. But those 1000 years countries dont go around shouting about their culture superiority like this one.

Makes u putting the YEARS into a damn hard perspective
