German Expressionism has two major schools: Der Blau Reiter and Die Bruke. This is Die Bruke. Typical of their art is bright, clashing color and bold, dark lines. They had very negative attitudes about modern society and urbanity (cuz War) and were centered in Berlin and Munich for a while.
German Expressionism is probably my favorite modern art style.

The sail acts as a wing like on an airplane. By adjusting the angle of the sail/wing sailors could cause the ship to be pulled against the wind.

Posted by: Anon a mouse at January 22, 2019 10:02 AM (6qErC)
Most sails don't work by being blown from behind (exception: spinnakers). They work by the wind blowing across the sail, in a manner exactly analogous to how an airplane creates lift.
That means that the boat can use wind anywhere from directly behind to well in front of perpendicular to the boat. The keel helps with this.

Tacking. You can't go straight into the wind but you can get enough energy to move towards it, so you go at an angle. Then when you've gone the wrong way enough you turn and catch the wind from the other side and angle into it again.
It's a whole series of zig zags.

Alito excoriates the 9th Circuit today on Football Coach prayer case.
"...What is perhaps most troubling about the Ninth Circuit's opinion is language that can be understood to mean that a coach's duty to serve as a good role model requires the coach to refrain from any manifestation of religious faith--even when the coach is plainly not on duty. I hope that this is not the message that the Ninth Circuit meant to convey, but its opinion can certainly be read that way. After emphasizing that petitioner was hired to communicate a positive message through the example set by his own conduct," the court criticized him for "his media appearances and prayer in the BHS bleachers (while wearing BHS apparel and surrounded by others)." This conduct, in the opinion of the Ninth Circuit, "signal[ed] his intent to send a message to students and parents about appropriate behavior and what he values as a coach." Ibid. But when petitioner prayed in the bleachers, he had been suspended. He was attending a game like any other fan. The suggestion that even while off duty, a teacher or coach cannot engage in any outward manifestation of religious faith is remarkable."

It's called tacking. You essentially sail back and forth at about 45 degree angles around the direction you want to go, alternating back and forth to maintain an average straight line.

That is how you get to a specific point but the science behind why a sailboat can go upwind is really pretty simple. Look at the shape of a mainsail. It is never truly flat, it is curved and that curve can be controlled on virtually all sailboats to some degree and some more than others.
Same same with an airplane wing with flaps.

Modernity and volksgemeinschaft were at variance. German civilization and culture were not synonymous--the former celebrated urbanity (as you note), 'Western' decadences, political factionalism (the notion of a Weimar government was always anathema to German political Kutur, which celebrated the constancy of a shared identity as opposed to the socially fragmenting effect of political discord); the latter celebrated regional heterogeneity united under what they considered a uniquely German identity.
Paul Johnson's chapter on this in "Modern Times" is outstanding.

This is why I do not believe or subscribe to the noisy , corporate " give back to the community" bullshit.
Wanna give? Fine. Don't tell me about it, don't put social pressure on people who don't want to do it and don't make it an integral part of a nominal money-making enterprise.
It's a big lie. On one end you have a giant virtue-signal beaconing fake, forced "generosity" and "goodwill" and on the other end, those who do not wish to participate are considered sub-human and must be shamed and purged.
Corporate activism is a hair's breadth from open fascism.

I was able to look at my bibliography real quick...no, I didn't.
I used almost exclusively books in the public domain. The primary sources really aren't that many and were often reprinted quite a bit in those early books.
I went off on a small tangent about Elliott vs. Perry, but I never really explored it in the book.

Ever met a "for real" transgender? I've met a few, and believe me there was a real good reason why Johns Hopkins University Hospital stopped doing "sex reassignment surgery" back in the early 1980s. Fact is, I have yet to meet a tranny, either pre- or post-surgery, who was mentally or emotionally stable (and it seems Johns Hopkins was unable to find one either). We have enough trouble with the military establishment being used by the socialists (for the purpose of destroying it, IMNSHO) as some kind of half assed social experiment without adding these sexually dysphoric nutbars to the mix.

The sense I get (generally speaking and not 100% obviously) is that making money, is not boastful anymore. In the late 90s, being a 25 year old millionaire was the goal. And when you became a 25 year old millionaire, you'd shout it from the rooftops. Now, it's like whoa, whoa, whoa man. Yeah I may have a couple of bucks, but I'm just like you. Look I even dress like you in jeans and stuff.
Read a LinkedIn feed regularly and you'll see a pattern. The vast majority of discussions aren't "hey look how successful my company is", it's all about "look how much change I am bringing to the world".
The corporate mentality has drastically shifted over the past 10-15 years. And the Gillette ad is a byproduct of that mentality. And it's not going to get any better any time soon. It's also why 95% of luxury car drivers in commercials are non-white males. And why every other commercial has a gay couple. And why Target did the bathroom thing. And why Dick's stopped selling guns. And on and on. The people running day to day operations of your typical Fortune 1000 company are SJWs or if not outright SJWs, don't want to run afoul of SJWs who they know can destroy a career.
The SJW mob isn't forcing companies to do what they do. The SJW mob is RUNNING the companies.

I'd assume Kavanaugh since he's the most questionable and newest (before Amy, who seems to be a more gung-ho type).

Good summary. I remember when I first started investing in the stock market back in the 90's the big corporate meme was "invest in us, we're a 'socially responsible' company." There was an index of "socially responsible" stocks and my initial reaction was "Is there an index of 'socially irresponsible' in which I can invest?

Then there are the boats themselves. The blue is a silly color for boats. It is also applied too uniformly. There is no shading. Lastly, you can see the black lines that were used to draw the shape of the boat - very sketchy and amateurish.
I've no idea if this painter can do better and is deliberately being ugly and primitive, but I would rate this 3 or 4 out of 10.

So the vector is really at an angle from the direction the boat is headed. The hull, and especially the keel or centerboard, redirects that forward, although some sliding does occur.
You don't really get to 45 degrees, though modern sailboats get pretty close. In earlier times there were occasions where ships just couldn't go upwind at all, if conditions were wrong. So they had to wait.

It's funny but I was looking at some photos and articles about WWI the other day and the work of the German artist Kathe Kollwitz was mentioned. Well you know how it is with the internet one link led to another and I ended up on an article about German expressionists of which our artist of the day was a member.
Posted by: Tuna at January 22, 2019 10:10 AM (jm1YL)
Kathe Kollwitz's work is amazing and so passionate. I've mostly ever seen her prints and illustrations. I'm unsure if she did any other media. Her personal story is so sad and it shows in her art. She would lose a son in WWI, a grandson and her husband in WWII. The latter, if I remember right, was killed by Nazis. For me, her most jarring work is "Woman with Dead Child". Just heartbreaking.

Let's be honest, the more numbers there are the more "radical" you can be. Most justices aren't Thomas who is more than happy to completely scrap something. And Thomas may not be on the Court long if Trump wins reelection.

Actually, it still holds. As you say, Peter was robbed to pay Paul. The fact that Peter is now being paid does not negate the fact that Phillip is now being robbed for the money to do so. Plus the ratio of paying-to-paid is much worse now. It's a massive, government-backed pyramid scheme.

1. He upheld O'care on statutory, not constitutional grounds. Yes, this was BS, but it didn't rewrite the Constitution.
2. On the Constitution he actually got something right, in that his ruling did say that the Commerce Clause did not authorize what the government was doing. (Which is why he went with the "tax" argument.) And he actually got the libs to sign on to that.
So, in a limited sense, there was a small nugget of gold in the pile of shit. I'm not denying the shit he served us, but it's worth recalling the nugget.

Fitton is awesome, and while Hillary needs to be taken out at the knees, I think his most valuable work was in getting several states to CLEAN UP their freaking voter rolls. I'd go so far as to say (I'll probably get pushback here) that there should be some sort of federal oversight, and certainly federal law requiring this. You shouldn't need to file suit against a state to make sure it isn't actively enabling voter fraud, especially given that votes relating to federal elections affect us all, duh. We all have standing to demand this.

True. But Cadillac specifically opened up a NYC based office exclusively for marketing. Even though most NYers would rather be caught dead than driving (or riding in) an American car, someone at GM's Detroit HQ figured that was the way to sell American cars.....marketed by people who hate them and the people who drive them.

From what I understand, after about 20 years, the difference isn't really worth it anymore. So, yeah, you can spend a couple thousand dollars on some 25 year old scotches, but you'd be much better served spending 100 on a good 12 or 200 on a good 18.

Won't hold up. All it shows is his pessimism.
If Will were an "establishment tool", how do you explain his contempt for both Bushes, which he repeatedly expressed? His opposition to "nation building" in Iraq? His hostility, from day one, to neoconservatives?
The truth about Will is that he was always idiosyncratic, and often off the reservation. That is clear. My own interpretation is that he, in his dotage, has become a caricature of himself in this regard. But his current posture no more invalidates what he wrote back when he was interesting than does P J O'Roarke's apostasy make his old writings any the worse.

You're welcome. Yea, the ship is very cool but unfortunately having trouble making ends meet. Turns out it costs a lot of money to keep a huge square rigger afloat. Go figure.
I've been coming here since about then before finally moving here for good and the change has been pretty dramatic. Virtually all of the old shipyards are gone which is one big reason they haven't been able to bring the America's Cup back. They've been replaced with condos, restaurants, bars and shops. Sigh...
It's much of a 4 season city now. They've worked very hard to keep attracting people all year round to help the local business owners.
Still, for a tiny state there is more history packed in this area than just about anywhere else in the country.

Um, I disagree. Virtually all corporate plans were forced to increase premiums shared by the employee, reduce choices of plans and institute huge deductibles with offerings of employees able to put money into HSA's to have non taxed money available to pay said deductible.
Most corporate plans, including the one I have, have minimum deductibles of at least $2500 per person. Our per month premium rose to almost double what it was four years ago.
So most assuredly, people with plans at work know what Obamacare did to insurance plans.

You use a triangular sail to catch the wind on part of it and let it slip around the other, and zig zag back and forth very slowly. As long as you can catch just a little bit of the wind going past you on the back of part of the sail as you turn to the side of it, you can move forward. Its a laborious process, but easier than rowing.

Compare that to Mercedes marketing which is basically, look how

The other big problem with Cadillacs is that Cadillacs don't look like Cadillacs anymore. And Lincolns don't look like Lincolns anymore, either. Used to be, the luxury makes had distinct features to set them apart from the plebe cars. They were bigger, for one, and distinctive styling cues. Now they all look like friggin' Acuras.

I remember Gabe's 19 part series lecturing us toothless deplorables on how "cuck" was actually a white supremacist term and anyone who used it was obviously a white supremacist, obviously .

Regarding Covington. I don't argue with libtards. They don't want the facts.
You can show them the video that clearly shows those kids were called every name in the book by the Black whatever organization, and then an activist Indian pounds a drum in their faces, but it won't stop the lies. They reacted well to this farce.
They don't want the truth. Period.
Orange man bad. MAGA bad. MAGA hats bad. White people bad. Catholics bad.
They are disgusting.

Not really, no. It's a really sophisticated (which is German for "that shiite is really, really expensive to fix) single wheel suspension. Each corner can fully articulate independently of the other. Uses all sorts of inputs (including a camera) to identify the road surfaces.

If it affects one disgusting perversion, it affects them all!!! or something.
Pretty sure she is not sane, quite confident that she hates men-men, but the unfunny (blowjob for punching the kid) SNL writer Sarah Beattie is quite attractive.
Judging by the pictures we've seen of her, she's has lots of nudes and naughty videos out there as well, somewhere.

"If Kennedy had driven a VW, he'd be President"
I recall a TV ad where they drove a Bug into a swimming pool and filmed it while it slowly sank. The tag line was, "A Volkswagen will float, definitely." Cut to where it's about halfway submerged. "But a Volkswagen will not float indefinitely."
Have no idea why I remember that ad other than pretty funny.

I have always read that WW2 German tanks were very good, but complex and difficult to keep running in bad weather. Russian tanks were much simpler, and easy to build...So they turned them out by the thousands.
