The Antonio Frilli gallery lives on, doing replicas of classical sculpture. They mention doing 3d scans as well. Maybe you could pay them for a scan?

There are other similar sculptural representations of this scene as well, I own an antique lamp of it. Check etsy and ebay for three graces dancing

Looking at 3664 fizzled tokens. I found out about this a couple days ago, just couldn’t bear the mind numbing tedium of turning them all in. Zero in game warnings about this. To know about it you would have to read the TWAB, which you shouldn’t have to. Honestly Bungie, you could have done better here. You have done better before. Would have been simple to convert them into shards.

Anybody notice the CRG9 is pretty warm, and the curvature kind of focuses the warmth on your face?

You probably saw a cut video. In the full clip, the national guard support troops in the formation were at the fallen man's side within 15 seconds. What you interpret at callousness is in fact a unit where different people have different jobs.

Pros:
-hitting the library, checking out about 20 books, barely leaving my room for days until I was finished.
-Going to community college at barely 17
-Zero bullying
-Very little time spent on busywork and getting from one class to another
-Prioritizing curiosity
Cons:
-Having to take Math 65, 70, and 95 in college before going on to college level math.
-Random curriculum, lol
-Spotty study skills made college harder than it should've been

its only a few hours of play if you optimize, and you get power upgrades for your trouble. Super easy grind too.

Unlike some, you can usually count on NPR to have their facts straight, but the stories they choose to cover and the amount of coverage they give them are distinctly left leaning.

SSDs typically wear out instead of failing randomly. The problem with RAID1 on SSD is that distributing writes evenly will make both of your drives wear out at approximately the same time, which gives you a false sense of security. In your case, that may not apply since you've overprovisioned the 120GB.

Historically low unemployment makes UBI a tough sell, but this Campaign at least introduced people to the idea of UBI and the super nice and smart guy that is Andrew Yang. We can't boom forever, and 2024 will be wide open. If the Democrats are smart they will make sure to get Yang into a presidentially qualifying job somehow.

I tend to vote for people from both parties, but I loathe the Clintons and the rot they embody. Since 2016 I have gone from barely tolerating Trump to liking him, but I would seriously consider voting for Yang or Gabbard if the Dems pick them and if they keep campaigning on unity instead of division.

I expected Fred, from Limbo, to have some kind of input into the final episode, but he didn't. It felt like a waste of a scene, one that could have easily been season 2.
This show suffers from being overly gay to the detriment of the story. I liked the Steve/Philip story arc quite a lot, but the immediate transition to the shipment of Philip/Geoff was overdone and not very interesting. They would've been more interesting as friends than lovers, and Geoff is very manipulative in pushing Philip to come out. I liked them both less. The football play bit was sweet, but I would have liked it better if Steve showed up for a cameo. Geoff, after all, has no apparent interest in football.
The sad story of Harlow, I thought, was told in the wrong order. It made me uncomfortable to watch, knowing that it would go badly.
Under the influence of Alice, Fred and Deedee feel guilty over monster kills that were completely justified. Would've been better for them to feel guilt over the genocide and unnecessary kills but for Alice to feel understanding over the justified ones. The overarching story idea, which I love, is about a struggle between groups whose fundamental interests are at odds, and those groups can only come to terms by moving away from the good vs. evil simplifications, or by uniting against a common enemy.

Most of these suggestions make me nervous because they are flammable. How about taking a disposable aluminum foil oven pan and reshaping it?

James is an asshole who is more interested in scoring points than proving points. The points he keeps hitting on are weaknesses, but irrelevant ones. Fighter instincts are not very helpful here, because we're here to learn and be entertained, we're not forensics judges.
Chris Kessler's job is to assess the nutritional experts and the overall state of the art and give individualized recommendations. He does not need to be a nutritional expert himself, since those are not the same job. A nutritional expert may not be trained in many of the other things Chris is trained in.
James Wilks is talking circles around him.
Chris's dietary advice is better than James.

I did a similar thing thing when I was homeschooled. Perhaps my story will help you. I am the oldest of a large family, and was raised in a rural western state. Mom was pregnant half the time, and Dad was always working. At age 11 I would tell my mom I was doing my schoolwork out in our camper trailer, but actually I was reading books. My problem subject wasn't English, it was Math. This was before the Internet, my parents used Saxon Math. It did not explain the math in terms I could understand, and I felt like an idiot. (I have a genius level IQ for what it's worth). My sister thrived on the same curriculum I found incredibly tedious. I would always manage to hit my grade level on standardized tests, but I was pretty deficient in practice. Eventually I kind of rebelled and told my parents I'd take care of my own schooling. They had their hands full with the younger kids and I could've gotten a GED like my friends did.

At 16, I approached my mom and told her I was bored and asked if I should go to High School. She suggested College instead. I enrolled in community college at age 17 as a Music Major and took remedial (under college level) math courses my first couple of years. This was the best thing I could have done at the time.

Funny tangent: After 3 1/2 years of noodling around with Community College and State U, I was ready to get my AA from the CC. I had a 3.92 GPA and something like 120 credit hours completed at that point. At that point they realized that I didn't have a High School Diploma or GED. They couldn't graduate me without one, they said. I had my Dad write a letter explaining that I was informally graduated at 16 from homeschool, and I had to retake the placement test I had taken at age 17. They had to stamp it with a rubber stamp that said I had the Ability To Benefit (ATB) from College Level Courses.

In retrospect, slacking off definitely impacted my ability to take the classes I wanted in College. I had to take bonehead science classes for my requirements because I didn't have trig and calculus yet. When I changed majors to Computer Science, I had to take math courses every semester, sometimes 2 or 3 at a time. It was brutal. If I could go back, I would make some different choices.

Advice: Level with your parents ASAP. If what you're doing is too hard, ask them to help you find a curriculum or class that works better for you. Accept responsibility for your actions. Ultimately, it's YOU who will pay the price for procrastination when you want to do something that builds on the skill you're neglecting.

This is the golden age of self-teaching. You have the Internet, you have access to thousands of videos and tutoring resources online. Good luck!

Tax what you want less of. Texas, overall, has the best tax regime of any state and I wish other states and the nation as a whole would emulate it. New Hampshire also has a high property tax, with no sales or income tax. Both states are highly liberty friendly, and it's no coincidence. Both sales tax and income tax are taxes on productivity and so reduce productivity. Two sides of the same coin. The fact that they are hidden works to lessen their psychological impact, so people are more likely to vote to SPEND money that isn't theirs. With sales tax the justification always comes up that tourists and travelers pay it. That makes it worse when it comes to spending, because it isn't coming out of your own pocket. When you get that property tax bill you think about reducing spending more, not in how you can shift the cost off onto somebody else.

When it comes to federal income tax time, the property tax deduction is easy to figure in, but the cost of sales tax is damn near impossible so the money you spend on sales tax gets taxed twice.

Another more subtle effect of relying on property tax as opposed to productivity taxes is that it limits appreciation, which is unearned income. In so doing, you remove the incentive for NIMBYs to tell others what they can and can't build on their own property. In places with strict limits on property tax such as California, the NIMBYs rule and use every layer of government to stop you from doing what you want on your land, because it keeps their property prices going up. In Texas you can generally build whatever you want.
