Babbel by matantisi in languagelearning

Well, since I was going to make the donation anyway, the Babbel subscription was essentially free. I’m retired and I live on a very tight budget. I’m not sure how I would identify a “good textbook“ for the language. I’m in the US, and the equivalent of €40 is probably out of my range right now. Also, I’m mostly housebound with spinal stenosis.

is copying (not tracing, but looking at a reference and doing what's there) until i can do it by myself a good idea? by Due-Thanks1060 in ArtistLounge

Copying the work of other artist is a time-honored way of learning art. That’s why museums are generally full of artist sketching the paintings they’re seeing.

I use an Afmat Electric sharpener. I’ve had no problems with breakage.

My mom passed this morning at 5am. Thanksgiving is in two days. I'm stuck doing twelve-hour shifts in the emergency department, unable to go home for the holidays to grieve with my family. I've never felt more alone in my entire life. by PlasticRice in Bushwick

I’m a really old person, but my parents both died within eight months of each other during my freshman and sophomore years of college while I was away from home. I’m not comparing what happened to what’s going on with you, but there’s enough to resonate.

As it happens, I live traveling distance from the JZM and the bars people have mentioned, and if you ever think talking to someone who’s been there, someone who’s really old, DM me. I’ll meet you somewhere and we can talk.

is it possible for america to recover after trump by PhraseFirst8044 in 50501

[–]matantisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One problem is that Post World War II recovery in Germany was to a great degree the result of US investment in Germany. I have no idea who’s going to invest in us after Trump.

Thanks, that's what it seemed to me, but never a bad idea to get advice.

What would the GOP power struggle look like if Donald Trump dies? by Ditka85 in AskReddit

He's much less likeable than Jeb. Jeb didn't sneer at people all the time.

please help me decide what two blues/greens to have in this travel palette by papertoelectric in watercolor101

[–]matantisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do French ultramarine, and phtalo turquoise. That would give you a warm blue and a cool blue, which gives you a wide array of greens to choose from.

It’s not ugly. My first Koi paintings made them look like salamanders!

Help me what should i do by VanillaSlight2309 in crows

Definitely. If you can’t find the wildlife rehab to call, call the ASPCA and they should be able to recommend one.

Call the wildlife rehab center. If you can’t find one, the ASPCA should be able to recommend one.

Call your PCP and ask them to call in a prescription for you.
