32 I'm not sure what the point of this piece is supposed to be. Mocking? Cutesy? It reminds me a bit of some of those stylized advertising posters from the early 1900s for French or Italian products. It could also be the cover for a collection of Addams Family cartoons.

Looking of Wiki, Somov has some exquisite works with warmth, brilliance and detail. This one ain't that.

35 Just a cursory look and I'd say this shows some mastery of the techniques of painting, but lacking much comprehension of composition.

Goth girl looks stoned and about to fall over. Lady in red looks like a badly-position marionette and where's her light coming from? Is this all just to frame the couple on the bridge? And, as TJM said, flat. Also oddly busy without saying much.

But wadooiknow, I are just a amateur cartoonerist, not a real artist. I might not be able to paint this well, but I'd like to have the time and tools to try!

55 Besides the couple in the boat (?), there is also the contrast between the two on the bridge, black vs. silver. This is something like a Russian Tsar-era production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

123 I embiggened it. Two items:

Between the two on the bridge and The Crazy Lady in Red, there is another masked woman in a black dress with Harlequin-like trappings. She appears to be drinking from a glass, or peering into a set of opera glasses.

Second, the foreground girl in black looks less like Julianne Hough and more like a cast member from Cats. That is a feline mouth if ever i saw one.

Still doable, though.

Past 100 comments so OT: There is a piece of classical music now known as the "Warsaw Concerto" which was the theme music to a British film called "Dangerous Moonlight" about the Polish Underground.

Originally, the producers wanted Rachmaninoff to write the score, but he was too expensive. So they got a composer named Richard Addinsell instead and told him to write something that SOUNDED like Rachmaninoff.

He did. And it does.

Ostensibly in Lawrence MA, you will be fined $300 dollars if caught outside without a mask. However, since the majority of the city is illegal, I can't imagine very many people are actually going to pay or be prosecuted for not paying.

As to why conform? Probably because (at least in MA) every store now says you cannot enter without a mask and it will take too much time to file a legal complaint. Also, it being MA, there aren't enough people who are willing to gather at a supermarket or other shop en masse, say "fuck you" and swamp the place.

As I said before, this hopeless POS state is "Maskacusetts."

Yes. An old saying: If you're going to cheat on your taxes on 15-Apr, you start on --Jan of the previous year.



I also believe tow things: Hillary being such a terrible candidate that the listening and eavesdropping FISA warrants were to help her keep one step ahead. Have a rebuttal to Trump for anything because he did not fight in the normal fashion.


Two, the Steele Dossier was shopped to news outlets in October, by Steele himself (obviously with Hillary's blessing). This was to be an October surprise - going hand in hand with the "hacked" DNC emails and Trump's comment on Russia releasing the alleged emails. However, a hard push wasn't made IMHO because the pussy tape came out and they figured he was toast.

Let me guess: Those selfish states and communities that are re-opening will drive up the death rate / infection rate, and so, because they ignored the experts, this winter the dead will be clogging the gutters and flooding the hospitals, all because of the deplorables and their senseless idolatry of "free-dumb," egged on by Drumpf.

The nickelfucker's propaganda will be something along those lines.

278 "As I pointed out above, not necessarily. There could have been a dozen CAC's with her name on them, passed out like party favors to Special Friends. with the password 123456."

You can't duplicate a CAC. Setting one up is pretty complicated to begin with. The whole point of the CAC is that it uniquely identifies the person using the computer and you can't claim it was someone else. It uses a unique public/private key pair loaded onto the card itself, and they can't be duplicated or reused.

So Powers either did the unmasking or allowed others to use her card AND passcode to unlock the CAC.

There is no technical scenario where that unique CAC was not used in this process.

413 For comic relief, here's an update on Huerfano County in Colorado, which has put a "required to wear masks when out of their homes" public health order in place, far exceeding the statewide order. The county has had a total of three new cases (none in the last month), and zero deaths from the COVID.

Here's the update: The population density of the county is less than 5 people per square mile, or for social distancing purposes one person for every 146 acres. That's one person for every 146 acres!

Are they willing to go non-woke? How about PSA demonstrating in real-time proper hand-washing with buxom young women and fit young men wearing nothing but underwear? Or would that be a bridge too far?

These people need to shut the hell up. When it comes to hand-washing, literally every venue is in use to tell people to do it and do it properly.

505 imo it is not axiomatic that ChinaVirus deaths will spike after each stage of opening ... because the decline is in motion, many already exposed (especially nursing homes and crowded places), weather is warmer (likely a factor) -- AND people are more aware and cautious.


AND not everyone will jam back into crowded spaces ... if they never shut down subways in the hottest of hot spots, how can they claim the right by XO to destroy a business and quarantine whole states? The Wisconsin court decision indicates such powers are not universal, and cannot be "arbitrary and capricious" (as they seem to be).


We need more decisions like Wisconsin, and I guess Trump is stuck with being a cheerleader for opening. Real Stats are also needed, not just the Gates/Fauci/Birx contrived global warming style models (all fake with a political/globalist agenda).

510 501 Rose thorns can be nasty, and tricky to manage as far as getting them out. They swell a whole lot for some reason. The worst I personally have encountered was a locust thorn. It was like a snake bite bad.

LOL. Rush has been opining that he now believes the Deep State set up GWB with their "weapons of mass destruction in Iraq" evidence.
[I personally still think Saddam had them but Bush warned him we were coming and gave him months to either exfiltrate them out of the country or otherwise bury/hide them.]

513 Garrett, I just went through the embedded sliver experience. You have two choices...dig it out now or wait till your body starts to push the sliver closer to the surface and dig it out then. I waited on mine. Wish I hadn't. Took it a week to fester to the point where I could get it and even then I didn't get it all the first time. Either way, it has to go.

517 Most annoying thing I ever got stuck in my finger was one of those tiny, invisible hairs on some cacti - I think they're called glochids? It's not that it hurt, but I got it on day one of a 5-day desert backpacking trip and the damn thing bugged me for 5 days. I made about a million attempts with my first-aid kit tweezers and learned a lesson - never skimp on your first aid kit tweezers. The crappy plastic one that came with the kit was useless. Soon as we came out of the desert and got a motel room, I hightailed it to the store for a metal tweezer and got the damn thing out.

However, someone photographed a king snake near me. They're the good kind that eat the poisonous ones. So there's that.

Posted by: Muldoon at May 14, 2020 10:56 AM (Fc5rx)
------------------------------

I managed to get a splinter in my foot last weekend and could not dig it out on my own. Went to the stand alone urgent care & it took 20 minutes for the professional to dig down to it. Hurt like heck but it was beginning to get hot/red.

On the plus side, the intake staff took the first 20 minutes of the appointment checking my symptoms and temperature and having me fill out a questionnaire on Wuhan flu. They were thrilled to hear that my problem was a straightforward splinter removal of an otherwise healthy person. They all wanted to be the one to help me.

Snakes fascinate me. Our area (SC) has copperheads but I've not seen one myself. I see black racers and rat snakes mostly.

Posted by: Dan Smoot's Apprentice at May 14, 2020 11:08 AM (H8QX8)

539 Garrett. Man up, take your pocket knife and dig the splinter out from under the nail. Then soak in epsom salt solution as much as possible.

For splinters or irritated scratches not under a nail I go against doc wisdom and use bag balm with a bandage to draw out the splinter and infection. Maybe the doc that told me 'no ointment' was only talking about when stitches had been put in anyway.
