Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 23, 2020 09:37 AM (s2VJv) The Dali museum in Tampa Florida had both his small works and 14-foot tall paintings. Posted by: NaughtyPine at July 23, 2020 09:40 AM (sYlPw) 57
There's probably a lot going on here that eludes me, but:
The blues and greens used throughout show the many tints and colors of the sea. It is strong visually. The idea of a ship as an extension of Man (or Woman, ships are usually called 'she') is old and powerful. It is an intriguing painting. It feels like Shelly could write a poem about the image. I have no idea what the creature in the sky is. Dali is so strange and unpredictable in what he portrays and how, I think each painting has to be taken one at a time.

Dali was an odd guy, even by artist standards. He was happy to stay in Franco's Spain, and his Christian paintings are very remarkable. Too weird for the normies and too normal for the rest of the art world.
Posted by: josephistan at July 23, 2020 09:41 AM (Izzlo) 60
Reviewing my earlier comment: The legs do look too muscular and lumpy to be a woman's, but the arms and hands look more feminine. The way the hands are simply draped over the yardarm suggest that it is not a man. A man's hands would grip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q1V_xjHhLM Posted by: TheJamesMadison, running from a biplane in a cornfield at July 23, 2020 09:39 AM (LvTSG) The casting in that film was pretty interesting. The only character I didn't really like was Zelda Fitxgerald. Blythe Danner was a better choice years ago, but one had to suffer through Richard Chamberlain who was miscast as Scott.

It's not just weird, there's a lightness and a nimbleness to the form. He's shifting his weight, he's playing with the wind, it's very naturalistic for being surreal.

So, the Chinese embassy in Houston shut down because they were spying on NASA and the Medical Center, and stealing not only technology but also personal information. The Chinese embassy in SF is hiding a Chinese spy that was being pursued by the FBI and also stealing IT technology.

So, thoughts on the attacks on Catholic churches.
These seem to be happening in blue enclaves, like most of the violence these days. And Catholics in blue enclaves tend to be as blue as anyone else in the enclave. So, they're now being attacked by antifa foot soldiers, their holy symbols desecrated. But these blue enclave Catholics are supposed to be the good guys. Their priests say Black Lives Matter in their homilies and they happily nod along with the Marxist sentiments implied. It's got to be shaking them a bit about how rabid the left is getting. "But we kneeled!" is the sort of thing someone seems to say right as they are being mugged by reality.

Nike's purpose to using slave labor isn't because there is no other way to make those overpriced shoes, it's to make the profit margin as WIDE as possible. Rather than pay Americans (or, hell, even Mexicans) a few bucks per $250.00 pair, they want to pay virtually nothing in labor per pair and add that to their (and Kaepernick's) bottom line.

For cheap goods or inferior goods, you can't drive the price down as low as they have without pennies-on-the-dollar labor costs. But for luxury goods, the amount of the product represented by labor costs is quite a lot lower. I do not get luxury goods or high-end goods manufacturing in China or other third-world places.

American Seafoods reports that an additional 79 crew members on board is FV American Triumph have tested positive for the virus after an initial six people had reported COVID-19 symptoms and tested positive. At this time, all 119-persons on board the vessel have been screened. The crew members who tested negative will be relocated to Anchorage to isolate and quarantine.

Nike's purpose to using slave labor isn't because there is no other way to make those overpriced shoes, it's to make the profit margin as WIDE as possible. Rather than pay Americans (or, hell, even Mexicans) a few bucks per $250.00 pair, they want to pay virtually nothing in labor per pair and add that to their (and Kaepernick's) bottom line.
Nothing like going with slavery to make that mark-up go from 75x to 1000x. Every discussion of Nike should always include how much their CEO makes every quarter compared to how much their labor slaves make per day. Every. Discussion. Every. Single. Time.

Many are true believers and will never be reached, but there are many others who take up politics like a fashion without much thought, and events may be forcing them to think. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, running from a biplane in a cornfield at July 23, 2020 10:21 AM (LvTSG) ------ For a long time it's been very "tribal," as Jonah would say... Whatever goes wrong, it's the other team's fault. Over the last ten years, a huge number of Republicans figured that out and finally gutted their own Party. I think it will be MUCH harder for the dum-dums still loyal to the Democrat Party to wake up and smell the ersatz camp-coffee, but am hopeful some event or chain of events will do the trick. Perhaps unabashed Maoist lawlessness from their leaders will do the trick, but I think it will only happen if they lose another election as a result. At the end of the day, the average Democrat's god is government, and political weakness and failure is probably the only thing that can really get under their skin.

George Orwell's essay shredding Salvador Dali, "The Benefit of Clergy", is well worth reading.
Posted by: Vanya Thank you. That was worth reading. The essay also mentioned Dalis fascination with bats. Like many people today, Dali knew he wanted to be famous but: * suppose that you have nothing in you except your egoism and a dexterity that goes no higher than the elbow... How then do you become Napoleon?* He had a talent for becoming famous in a peculiar society that valued his art. Posted by: MikeM at July 23, 2020 10:57 AM (bYDY1) 392

warning to horde house owners - if yu have all state be very careful about which policy - apparently they are almost unique in that they prorate roof coverage by age of roof
haven't had the adjuster come out yet but not optimistic Posted by: vmom --- My roofer does not like Allsnake at all. But it also depends on the terms of your policy. Mine guarantees "replacement" and pro rata does not apply. I did have to pay extra for that coverage over the years but it was something like $50-$75 more on top of my 'regular' premium. Also, secure a roofer before the adjuster gets there and have him/her/it present when the adjuster reviews the damage. Posted by: Tonypete at July 23, 2020 11:01 AM (tIU+r) 405

An electoral blowout for Democrats this year would probably be the next major even leading to the end of their party. That's my hope, but I know the GOPe will do what they can to prevent it. If we hadn't had all those retirements in 2018, we'd probably be well down that road by now and they'd be even more insane than they are today.

I hated handling first party property claims. Unless you agreed to pay for everything, even if the policy was clear that certain conditions and exclusions applied , you were considered an asshole . Contrary to belief, most carriers give the benefit of the doubt to their policyholders. Also carriers payout more in claims than they get in premium.

I've mentioned before I have some (a lot) of mental illness. I feel like that guy in the painting - a slave to the winds.
Reynolds has recommended Barbara Oakley on learning, and her course Learning How to Learn is the most popular course on Coursera. Oakley says that Dali (and Henry Ford) would seek inspiration in the twilight stages of sleep by thinking of what they wanted to solve/create and then holding keys or similar while dozing off. When asleep, the keys would drop, wake them up, and they'd go back to work on the problem. That works for me, but maybe that's just because I'm crazy. Still, good excuse for a nap. Hemingway, though, maybe had a better idea. Alcohol to create and caffeine to produce. I gave up drinking, but hopefully I will be part of the next prisoner exchange.
