I like this, but it must be one of those pieces you need to see in person. On the laptop, it looks like a generic "hotel lobby" painting.

Right. A boat without a pointy bow. Like a landing craft or punt.

This painter was in Venezuela during WWI.

And it is interesting to compare and contrast his paintings with Monet's on the same subject. Like Haystacks. Wonder how they both would paint round bales in Kansas.

The Republican Governors Association on Tuesday threw out Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a top Trump ally, after he showed up to its spring conference in Tennessee. Lindell showed credentials from RGA that clearly shows he was invited and was entitled to go to the event. Big donors are usually invited to VIP events by RGA.

Earlier on Tuesday, Lindell had gone on Steve Bannon's radio show and promised to confront Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, RGA's chair, about the election and allegations of fraud in their states.

So many of the bales were illustrations of the differing colors of the light during seasons and times of day. I was at Giverny in the middle of the day in August years ago. It was neat being there and all but the light was flat and boring.

This one's definitely darker than the typical Monet. Monet's colors are brighter, more pure. This artist uses more mixed colors, like aqua, pink or that green-yellow in the right background.

There's only so much time to listen to things you really like to spend time on stuff that doesn't immediately grab you. Other ones that have no personal appeal include Dan Hicks and Mose Allison. Tom Waits used to be that way until he got really nutso and funny.

The F-150 is doing electric right - it's got unique useful features (power outlets and the ability to run your house during blackouts) and doesn't have panel gaps you can drive a Freightliner through (oh hi Tesla).

He was one of those guys who's shtick you had to be down with, it was just him and a guitar. He did a good job holding the interest of the crowd, considering he was matched with a rock group.

Kinda like Randy Newman. Saw him before he became famous. Just a guy and his piano. He played and "sang" well, of course. But, he was really charming with his remarks between songs, sometimes even laughing during his songs when they got particularly silly or crazy. Great show.

I hate cold weather. It's just so miserable. Doesn't matter how many coats and gloves and scarves I put on - I'll still be cold. Summer is great because I can go outside for a few minutes and get some feeling back in my hands so I can type. (Sometimes my hands and feet get so cold in the office that the air condenses on them when I go outside.) Winter is just constant misery with hot showers being the only relief. I wish I lived in the tropics instead of the subtropics.

We had a Fusion hybrid. Nice car and great gas mileage. Problem was when that car got close to 75,000 miles nobody wanted to buy it or take it in trade because the battery was only warranted for 100,000 miles. We finally got somebody to take it in trade but what they gave us left us way under water on the loan for it. Sucked it up and vowed to never buy another car with a battery in it again.

They won't be allowed to. I'm not joking. They use ICE tech, and that won't be legal.

FWIW, I don't think they ever broke 5% of annual sales. I think 3% was a pretty big deal. I don't have any problem with them, but it turns out nobody really wants them, either. They're like station wagons and manual transmissions (and electric vehicles). People might talk about how cool they are, but that's as far as it goes.

355 Pretty sure hybrids are here to stay. It's a very viable tech that combines the benefits of ICE and EV. And it has the most important thing, significant sales.

Math still doesn't work out... but they are a better choice than full EV. Battery is expensive, adding it to the cost basically pays for the gas you'd buy years ahead of time.

360 Back in the day, I saw Leon Redbone live.

He was one of those guys who's shtick you had to be down with, it was just him and a guitar. He did a good job holding the interest of the crowd, considering he was matched with a rock group.

Kinda like Randy Newman. Saw him before he became famous. Just a guy and his piano. He played and "sang" well, of course. But, he was really charming with his remarks between songs, sometimes even laughing during his songs when they got particularly silly or crazy. Great show.

In the 70s I saw Joan Armatrading open for someone I really was there to see. It was just her and a piano and she was very good singing original compositions. Even though her music wasn't in my roundhouse it was very well done and held my interest.

Years later I went to see Richard Thompson open for her in an outdoor park. Every carpetmuncher in the county was in attendance and by the time the first overly amplified synthed up bullshit assaulted my tympanic membrane I'm surprised I didn't create a sonic boom exiting rapidly.

That's the "Yat" dialect, which I grew up hearing and learned to speak as protective coloration as a kid. Its name comes from the old NO expression "Where y'at?", which is not asking where you are physically located, but how you're doing. The dialect is heard more in the suburbs now than in the city, and it's fading some even out there.

427 I was looking at the Ford F-150 Lightning this morning. Ford claims it can act as a whole house generator (about 9kW) for up to 3 days if you have their "extended range" battery installed and the necessary electrical gear at your panel for the house.

I believe it. Crank up the engine and let it idle.

The electric ones won't be able to do that, and people won't understand why.

There's a *lot* of room for batteries in an F-150, so they can go nuts on the watt-hour ratings. Something like a pickup or Expedition is probably the sweet spot for current BEV tech for that reason.

467 I have to admit being intrigued by an EV that can double as a whole house back up power source. Very clever of Ford to mention that in their literature. A very expensive option, I'm sure. However, I'll note that my wife and I drive about 100 miles a month, just around town getting booze and groceries. We're retired so an EV might make sense to use here, but I would not trust it more than 25 miles from home. There's no infrastructure for EV's here in rural Kentucky, and that electric F-150 requires 80 amps for the charging gear.

That's not hard to believe at all. Homes use much less energy than cars do. Which is why, as mentioned up-thread, the woman with the Tesla was complaining that her car would only partially recharge when plugged in all night. Home electric service does not have the capacity to fast-charge an EV.
