The boy cries you a sweater of tears... and you killed him.

I like a good epic as much as the next person, but this is pushing 3 hours itself. Assuming Part 2 is similar, I definitely don't have the attention span to hold me through a 5 1/2 hour, 2-part musical. Yikes.

I'm trying to think of any musical that would be tolerable at 2x the original runtime.

But maybe Michelangelo's biggest regret was having never made a good sandwich. You might have one up on him.

You have to remember - this was his job. This wasn't a little hobby he worked on on-and-off in the background. He wasn't putting 8-10 hours in down at the accountancy before popping into the chapel for a little while. From a very young age he was supported both financially & emotionally by his community to sculpt, paint, and whatever else.

Next week he's digging up Muhammad Ali for Disney+.

... do I sound like that? I always thought my voice had more of a 'Clark Gable' quality...

A treehouse in space is all my inner child has ever wanted.

Excellent joke. No notes.

I imagine it follows the splash screen with "you can submit PRs to https://github.com/my-chevy/dashui.git" lol

I love this kinda crap. "Hack the planet" and so on. Is someone working on an open source car?

Anyone can get gout! It's a swelling of the joints caused by eating a lot of organ meat and such. I first learned about it from an episode of King of the Hill lol

 

I'm confident the answer to the initial question is "yes", but in my little corner of the world I've never met a sculptor - no students, no teachers, no amateurs or professionals - and I don't recall hearing about significant sculptures being erected anywhere in the last few decades.

Sculpting fascinates me, but I'm totally ignorant of how it works. If you’re a sculptor -

  • when/how did you start? Do you start with clay and pottery?
  • How do you "practice"? Play-doh? Gotta imagine it's different based on your preferred medium?
  • do artists still use marble? Seems like it'd be insanely expensive & one mistake screws the whole thing up
 

Hi all, a friend convinced me to give FFXIV a try, and I've just made myself a Conjurer character. I'm barely 5-10 minutes in and damn this game's pretty. Also pleasantly surprised by how solid the controller support is so far.

Curious if there are any pitfalls I should avoid, or if any of you seasoned players have advice for someone who's just starting out.

  • Currently on the free trial. Does the subscription ever go on sale? I don't doubt its value, but ~$150 USD / year is steep for any game (imo).
  • Are the classes/races decently balanced? I've played other MMOs where the game's just not viable with certain classes.
  • I saw a menu option for macros, and I'd assume that's keyboard-only? Are there any other players using just a controller, or does that become a hinderance at some point?
 

Ahoy, mateys

I've seen some concert footage on YouTube that's been upscaled via "AI", and some of the examples look incredible.

Is it possible to upscale the video content I've acquired? I have a few series that look to have been recorded on VHS tapes crammed with dirt.

Opinions & ideation are welcome. Mostly curious whether it's feasible.

 

Recent versions of Vim include a built-in auto-complete feature, and of course there are a half-billion other auto-complete plugins available through GitHub.

What's your setup? Plugins, or vanilla? Suggested tweaks?

 

S02E01 - A Flight to Remember 👆

I love this show.

 

"Manifesto" has no plot, and the only thing tying the ~dozen scenes together is Cate Blanchett. Her monologues range from common hippie platitudes to batshit insanery, and she moves deftly between the dozen starkly different characters. There's some beautiful cinematography, but the show is stolen by Blanchett's incredible performances.

Highly recommended for folks that like "artsy" movies with no plot, or anyone who needs 90 minutes of solid Cate Blanchett.

 

~45 minutes in. This brief little moment with Leatherface might be my favorite scene in the movie. The way he lumbers to the window, glances anxiously outside, and puts his head in his hands... without a word we see a glimpse of his humanity. Is Leatherface a psychotic murderer, taking joy in killing these teens? Or is he the homemaker, protecting his family's property from these strangers who barged in? What's actually going on in his head?

Love this flick.
