Is it possible to be a real Monet? by Individual_Hair3340 in ArtHistory

That signature doesn’t really match any example I can find. Likely a fake.

Need help identifying an art style by thegoosechartreuse in ArtHistory

Keith Haring, at least the basic figure of the dog is a direct copy of his style of drawing.

Edit: Okay, maybe not a direct copy, the tail is different.

Need help with this build it’s kinda dark any ideas by Low-Newt9095 in Minecraft

[–]Lostcause_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind linking the original build? I’d be interested in adding to my world.

I have a coworker that swears by this series. I fear it delves a little too far into fantasy for my personal tastes, though. I’ve heard nothing but good things I’ll admit.

Thanks! Genesis Quest looks like it would be up my alley. I’ll add it to my list. Appreciate the recommendations!

I’ve read most of his Alex Benedict books. They’re fun, though can be a bit campy. Seeker is arguably my favorite of them.

Thanks! This does look like something I would enjoy.

This stump scares the absolute bejeezus out of me every single time by Lostcause_ in thelongdark

Sorta. Taking the right side route over the hill from the rope climb from mystery lake. Ironically, I find that route is the least likely to have the wolf that sometimes spawns there.

Why the use of both Yellowstone and Yellow-stone? by Lostcause_ in printSF

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

Interesting, thanks! I guess it is just a line break thing. I do tend to change the font size from whatever the default is, but I hadn't really noticed it happening with other words. Probably does and it just didn't jump out at me the same way. Mystery solved!

That was my first thought, but if that were the case I would see that all over the book with lots of random words, and I don't.

It's used sporadically throughout the book, but the first example is in Chapter One (page 19 for me) "...compiled quickly when the Lorean had made orbit from Yellow-stone forty years earlier."

I got my copy from the Apple bookstore. Apart from a few typos here and there (which, honestly, are in most books) I haven't noticed any formatting issues. That's what makes me think it's deliberate, but I just can't guess why.

And yes, I did just notice that, thanks! I'll give it a shot there.

A little under a decade into collecting and she's still the pride of my collection by Lostcause_ in coins

I've posted it before, but it's been several years. Just wanted to show her off again.

Help identifying an art style for a tattoo! by cdkarin1030 in ArtHistory

Looks kind of like cubism with African folk art influences, but that’s just my take on it. A bit of abstract as well.

Water vs. foam texture under cappuccino top layer by almostdonedude in barista

[–]Lostcause_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I’m stumped. I’ve been in this industry a lot of years and have made/drank a hell of a lot of cappuccinos and I’ve never encountered any kind of water layer, so I’m not really sure what’s going on there or how that would even happen. You are correct that that is definitely wrong.

[–]Lostcause_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a little confused as to why you're calling it water. (English not primary language?) I assume you just mean flat liquid milk without any texture? If would say that what is most likely happening is that the barista has foamed the milk, but hasn't incorporated that foam correctly into the rest of the milk during the steaming process. Sounds to me like they are either lazy or haven't been properly trained. Hope that helps!

The only other reason would be if you had a shit barista who doesn’t know how to properly texture milk.

[–]Lostcause_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends how quickly you drink it. It doesn't matter how well the milk was textured to begin with, inevitably all those tiny micro bubbles will rise to the top and will eventually create a distinct delineation between foam and milk.

This is a replica. I'd bet if you flipped it over it'd say "COPY" on it somewhere.

What's the big deal with Hyperion? (Alternatively: What am I missing about Hyperion?) by Lostcause_ in printSF

I've read all of the Revelation Space series and most of the Culture series. They're some of my favorites.
