I do think the artist should have considered leaving both hands out of frame. His fingers are all out of proportion. One thing I have learned from many Art Threads: "hands are hard to depict properly."

Because he was producing all of his woodcuts (easy to set in a printing press) just as the Print revolution was taking off in Europe, Durer's woodprints became some of the most widely circulated pieces of art in the Reformation Age.

To go from flat to this level of realism is fantastic in such a short time.
It's odd that it took 6000 years of painting to produce something like this realism then 300-400 years to disregard it and start throwing blood, feces, and froot loops at a canvas then scream "art."

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at April 17, 2020 09:39 AM (dLLD6)
This is really quite significant - as get's said here, "First!" - This work by Durer (or possibly the other, forget the dates off the top of my head) is very possibly the FIRST acknowledged self portrait in Classical Art. The Romans and Greeks never did that, and the medieval church did not allow it at all, as it was self-glorification and they felt only Saints and Holy Scenes were worthy.
Jan van Eyck might have done a self portrait a generation earlier than this, but he didn't openly identify the subject as himself. (even though it probably was) Durer was the first to openly celebrate his own self portrait.

But those doctors must have taught those kids some right and wrong, and the child expressed the angst caused by the parent, while the parents' sense of right and wrong had been overridden by their tyrannical hate. The child expressed his cognitive dissonance, the parents had blown right through theirs, if they still had any left.
Posted by: illiniwek at April 17, 2020 09:37 AM (Cus5s)
Thanks for that discussion. I also think that what you said earlier, about the children knowing stealing is a crime and it might very negatively impact their household security, was surely driving their desire to have their parents act like responsible adults.

Sobering stats from Louisiana.
Louisiana has a population of 4.7 million people. 126,586 tests have been performed.
Almost 25% of all tests conducted in the state have come back positive. So far 5% of those have already died. They stopped reporting the number of "Recovered" several days ago. About 2,000 are currently hospitalized.
I don't have the number of tests broken down by Parish but I do have the number of confirmed positives and population totals. Throughout South Louisiana confirmed positive tests are running about 1% of the population - Orleans double that - but only a tiny fraction of the state has been tested (about 2.5% of the state pop).

A date and a stupid remark to remember:
March 28: Reacting to the president's idea of quarantining the state of New York, Cuomo said, "I don't think it's legal...This would be a federal declaration of war on states."
Also Cuomo, at the same time, said he would sue Rhode Island for preventing NY asshoes from spreading germs in other states: "I think what they did is wrong, it was reactionary. I think it was illegal but we'll work it out amicably. I'm sure. No state should be using police to prohibit interstate travel in any way."

Okay, I think I found something interesting. I was looking at the "curve" of new cases reported around the world and noticed a sudden and sharp jump the last two days in cases in several European countries. And in the U.S. a less pronounced uptick. At first I was confused how this was possible other than a coincidence, but then I realized we just had Easter weekend... so I theorize we've had a spike in new cases in a lot of countries because people broke their pattern of social interaction, social distancing, and got exposed over last weekend. It is around 3-4 days when people start to develop symptoms and these are all countries who've been on the downward trend.

No one here has to worry about reading too much into art works. You should have read some of the analyses I had to read. Whoo boy.

Wonder who would want to be on the local hospital district panel under single payer?
Posted by: TexasDan at April 17, 2020 10:22 AM (hr5kG)
Almost 25% of all tests conducted in the state have come back positive. So far 5% of those have already died. They stopped reporting the number of "Recovered" several days ago. About 2,000 are currently hospitalized.
From your numbers:
25% of 126586 = 31646 positive tests.
5% of 31646 = 1582 deaths
1582 deaths out 4.7 million = 0.034%
"I don't have the number of tests broken down by Parish but I do have the number of confirmed positives and population totals. Throughout South Louisiana confirmed positive tests are running about 1% of the population - Orleans double that - but only a tiny fraction of the state has been tested (about 2.5% of the state pop)."
Posted by: Brian in New Orleans at April 17, 2020 09:59 AM (TLxpZ)
Presumably, most of the people that have been tested are those showing symptoms. With test materials scarce, it would be irresponsible to waste tests on seemingly well people.
So, Louisiana may be doing worse than some other States, but the death rate due to known WuFlu, as a percentage of total population, is still a tiny number.

This is exactly what "flattening the curve" means. No change in illness rates or fatality rates, except for allowing time for building of hospitals (which mostly are now empty) and finding therapies (which are being denounced)
And certain high risk groups will be protected by herd immunity but later, much later, after living in isolation, and the rest of us in the equivalent of work release parole.

For the past few days anyone who wants a test can get one at drive-thru centers. There are no restrictions down here.
It's bad in port cities, international cities, because that's where it first comes in before spreading to the interior. New Orleans is as bad as New York because the timing coincided with Mardi Gras. Eventually it will spread to the entire country, the only thing that can be done is slow the spread and manage it.

"curve" of new cases reported around the world and noticed a sudden and
sharp jump the last two days in cases in several European countries.
And in the U.S. a less pronounced uptick. At first I was confused how
this was possible other than a coincidence, but then I realized we just
had Easter weekend... so I theorize we've had a spike in new cases in a
lot of countries because people broke their pattern of social
interaction, social distancing, and got exposed over last weekend. It
is around 3-4 days when people start to develop symptoms and these are
all countries who've been on the downward trend.

I thought Europe was post Christian. Maybe Americans are more abiding of dictates from above but that is not our history. It is likely our present, but not our history.
The only really religious Euro country I can think of off hand is Poland. Spain still has its festivals but I doubt more there are observant than people here. Maybe Italy but why is the birth rate so low?

is exactly what "flattening the curve" means. No change in illness
rates or fatality rates, except for allowing time for building of
hospitals (which mostly are now empty) and finding therapies (which are
being denounced)
And certain high risk groups will be protected
by herd immunity but later, much later, after living in isolation, and
the rest of us in the equivalent of work release parole.

Posted by: thathalfrican - sucker free on my phone at April 17, 2020 10:19 AM (IKbJT)
I once saw a sculpture of a woman turning into a tree and I thought the work was about suicide, that the artist had lost someone very dear and was trying to express her feelings about it. I based my interpretation on the Woods of the Suicides from Dante's Inferno. It turns out that the artist was an environmentalist and it was a depiction of Mother Earth. My interpretation was dead wrong.

I assume current cases are the area under the curve in the trailing two weeks.
All the numbers older than two weeks should then add up. Total infected more than two weeks old should be in two separate sets by now--recovered or mort.

A good relegation battle is very exciting, especially if your team manages to escape. It's crushing if your team doesn't. It's sort of like when you have three or four teams fighting for the last playoff spot.
You also don't have bottom feeders throwing games for draft picks or trading away your best players or playing rookies just for experience.

Posted by: Jordan61 at April 17, 2020 10:14 AM (Ez6QX)
I saw a source that states that a woodcut of this image, inscription
removed, was used as an image of Christ in several printings of the
1500's. So this likeness was seen right from the start, and obviously
Durer knew it when he painted it.
Is that a sign of someone who thinks pretty highly of himself?
Hmmmm, could be. Look at the pose in this self portrait, and compare to
the classic "Christos Pantokrater" pose from Byzantine art.
Posted by: Tom Servo at April 17, 2020 10:24 AM (V2Yro)
It was quite common for artists to use themselves as models for the likeness of Christ. It wasn't frowned upon at all. Sometimes the only live model around is yourself. Grab a mirror and go to town. If I remember correctly, it was the hand gesture that was the biggest clue that this was a Christ portrait. But unless Durer himself said so, that's not for certain. I do see the Pantokrator reference, thanks.

>>How many dead per pay is our society willing to accept versus the price paid to the economy (and how many would die in a Stone-Age Depression).
We've been confronting it since the founding of the country. Every human activity has risks and that's been true long before the CCP virus. We are always making the choice between freedom and safety even if we don't like to admit it.
What's different about this is we don't know what the threat matrix looks like and sure as hell didn't when it started hitting in December. It definitely did not help when China covered it up and refused our doctors and scientists access that continue to this day.
Given the history of communists in China and the real possibility from day 1 that this virus leaked from a bio engineering lab the only sane course would be to assume the worst. It's easy for us keyboard geniuses to pontificate what we would do or would have done but we don't hold the fate of 350 million people in our hands.

Gotta love the tolerant, peace-loving, No Hate in This Home group.Also, some Sparrow Hospital nurses took a photo of the gridlock and posted that we blocked the ER entrances and disturbed the patients because you know people are dddyyyyiiinnnggg out there.However, Sparrow spokesman put out a statement that in fact the roads/entrances to the hospital were free and clear, and that ambulances had been positioned around the city to prevent any sort of blockade situation.
But you know, the truth just isn't as good as a lie.

I think JackStraw is right, that at the outset an abundance of caution was not irrational given the *potential* for something much worse.
But I would maintain that those cruise ships were a pretty perfect biome, and more could have been based on those experiences than it seems like they did.

Louisiana has had 1124 deaths attributed to Kung Flu right now.
2018 flu season, Louisiana had 824 deaths.
Now, factor in the CDC guidelines (everybody who died has Kung Flu) and the fact that hospitals are being reimbursed for Kung Flu patients....
Now factor in the ethnic mix of New Orleans, and I just don't see any hair-on-fire numbers.

Because the gen pop was starting to be distanced from death at that time except for the normal "grandparents die from old age".
Medicine got better so people didn't die as young as often.
Prenatal medicine got even better so babies weren't dying.
My grandfather was born in 1910. He was accustomed to seeing death. My dad was born in 1935. Him? Not so much. Me? 1962. Other than car accidents or a suicide here and there, no. Just the normal grandparents age out.

The probability of a President Joe Biden being removed from office via the 25th Amendment is now astronomical.
What can be said of the judgement of those who have endorse "DEMentia" Joe Biden ?
But there must be an upside:

b) short SOTU addresses
c) new push to retire like-aged politicians
d) get to test out the 25th amendment

I don't fault Trump or the governors for the initial over-reaction. The disease was new and scary and nobody knew what it could do, so erring on the side of caution was the only sensible thing to do.
But after weeks of the experts' predictions and models being wrong, it's time to re-assess and try new strategies. And just yelling "we're all gonna diiiiiiieeee" if we don't remain hiding in our homes indefinitely is stupid.

So why did almost every other western country and beyond also close down their economies? Do you think Spain and Italy wished they had moved a little faster to close down theirs?
What if Trump had done nothing and we were seeing results like Spain is encountering, do you think he would have had to shut it down then after a lot more deaths? Do you think he would have been in better or worse position to be in place next November to help work through this?
Of course he knew what would happen. He's not stupid. And the economy was his biggest accomplishment and pride and joy and he did it anyway. Given the data available to him at the time so would've I and pretty much everyone else.
We would be in a corner if nobody else did the same things we did but they all did unless you think Sweden is going to rule the world. We'll bounce back from this better and faster than most.

check youtube. There are people that do just that. I am not saying they are 40 years old, sometimes there are differences from even ten years ago. The whisky boom has put a lot of pressure for companies to crank the stuff out as fast as possible.
It really depends on where you live. In strict alcohol control states, you wont be able to get an old whisky. But in other states and on the net, anything goes. There are people that sell vintage bottles for a price.

Yep, that's a fair point. But even though they were unprepared (and given the massive amounts of money we throw at agencies like the CDC to make sure we are prepared, there is no excuse for that), they still had to make decisions about what to do. And it's those early decisions that I'm cutting them slack on, because nobody knew for sure what this disease could do, the possibilities were awful, and we clearly couldn't trust a word out of the ChiComs.
But we have more information about the disease now, and we need to re-assess and re-strategize, but some people just seem to want to keep cowering in fear.

Tequila is like Gin, buy the middle market and mix it. Mescal is quite nice if you get a good bottle of it. Very smooth.

Brain,
Let';s start with historical numbers. Last I found, 2017, flue and lower respiratory deaths, Louisiana-3252.
Let's start there then.
When the deaths attributed to Covid at LEAST match that number, can we start worrying?

Changed the settings on my toaster, took my favorite coffee mug as her own and put a knife in the DW wrong side up.
I burned my last bagel, she dropped the mug and I cut the shit out of myself on that knife.
All in the 1st hour of my day.

I can get old whisky at the liquor stores here in south Georgia. It's in a double reinforced locked cage with a $500-$1000+ price tag.
no. Don't even like bourbon. I'd spend a little over $100 on scotch but not bourbon.

yes, this is the same tactic used against Trump in a massive PsyOp campaign that includes Brennan/Comey types and the whole CNN style attack, coordinated with the DNC and DeepState Resistance.
This began with Hillary's scripted line "deplorable and irredeemable" ... if one can't be redeemed, they must be "quarantined" ... in a psych ward, or eliminated. The globalists (e.g. Gates/Fauci/Birx WHO Global Initiative types) never stopped trying to "other-ize" any that stop their globalists ambitions.

I wonder if that isn't the most optimal option, let nature do its worst. But I'd modify that by having the Feds establish "Boomer Colonies", which would be tightly cordoned off areas where the 2-5% most vulnerable people could ride out the outbreak period over the next 6-9 months.

I think I spent $130 on a Pappy. That was the only time I spent over a c note on a bourbon. Of course that was a song compared to the after market and states that don't control prices and distribution. Then again, in a government controlled market, you have to wait a long time. Now you can't even do that, it is done by lottery.
I could have sold that thing for a thou in NYC on Christmas. But I don't do those things.

Dad is 98, so not really a Boomer, depending on how you do your all-important excuse for judgment. I wonder if it would be all right with you if he lived?
