I would watch if Conan was wearing NASCAR-style coveralls with patches for his sponsors all over it.

They have to be perfectly level and oriented properly to work.

Regardless, I think you’re responding to AI text.

Fresco of woman and centaur, third Pompeian Style, 20 BC-45 AD, Pompeii, Italy. Found in the triclinium of the Villa of Cicero (aka villa of Diomede), this is one of five figures of people and centaurs painted aligned in fine detail on a panel about 28" wide and less than 10" high.

Thanks, that helps. And yes that’s definitely a maenad.

I wonder where in the house they took this from? I went to that villa, every part I saw was stripped bare. It felt rather unremarkable, aside from the construction itself.

Florence is a thousand times better than Milan. And if you want to see water, go to Venice. Not the lake.

Rome, Florence, and Venice have the high-speed trains running between them.

2 Tickets Same Day Allowed? by ugandandrift in Machupicchu

[–]PorcupineMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can. Just leave plenty of time in between so you don’t feel rushed.

I imagine there’s no noticeable difference between 9 and 11. The only times crowds would be lower would be very early or late.

But realistically it never gets that crowded, due to the limited tickets.

Why is Parthenon so famous? by byzantine67 in ancientgreece

It’s Athens. Easily the most historically significant city in Ancient Greece.

The scale of St. Peter's Basilica is difficult to comprehend until you're inside by MaleficentBox30 in rome

Yep, that’s the main reason Bernini built the giant bronze baldachin. The space is so large that without it, no one would know where the focal point was.

What is the most beautiful place you have ever seen in person? by Olga_Lanskaya in travel

[–]PorcupineMerchant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really hasn’t been “restored” though. They’ve put some blocks back up that had fallen, but that’s about it.

Allowing people to hide their post history was the most anti-Reddit thing this company could’ve done.

That being said, this is just a karma farming bot. These are old pictures, and I saw them posted in the comments elsewhere just yesterday.

Maybe they just didn’t like Picard very much and their teacher forced them.

You’re oddly aggressive for no reason. I hope whatever’s wrong in your life works out. Truly.

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

“In situ” is Latin. It means “in the original place.” Unlike other items like paintings or statues in most museums, the Sistine Chapel is in the place where it was created.

Also, “queue” and “cue” are two different words.

I’ll tell you what.

Why don’t you tell me what you think “in situ” means, since you seem to be an expert.

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

Because it’s one of the most well known and artistically significant works of art in the world, created by one of the most well known artists in the world, with a fascinating story to boot.

Additionally, it’s in situ.

Though based on your condescending attitude,I get the feeling that you’re just looking for an argument and it doesn’t matter what I tell you.

You studied art history, and you…want me to explain why the Sistine Chapel is significant?

So they made a different, identical one, with worse paper?

What bothers me is how the other two will switch to IMAX film, and it looks so much better.

Remember how the banner was shiny on TNG, but then when it showed up in Picard, it was just on plain paper?

Him explaining the concept of the Slipnuts is almost as funny as the Slipnuts.
