You couldn't do that today even if you wanted to.
Today's socks don't start out thick enough. By the time you wear a hole in them, the whole sock is threadbare.

Rounded ball that goes into the toe of a sock when darning. It gives the needle something to bounce off of and come right back out instead of going completely thru to the other side, thereby sewing the sock shut.

This is a beautiful piece, but it's hard to see it as anything other than three elements stuck together: the woman, the basket of socks, and the plants in the window. Each element is done well, but it still comes off as a Colorform to me.

Yes.
Turn the sock inside out and pull it over a darning egg or mushroom. Darning eggs are wooden ovals that maintain the curved shape of the sock and hold the hole in place so you can make clean stitches (mushrooms are similar but have a base to stand the egg on).

Sorry, I did that wrong.
"The artists use of the deep ambers and blues on the floor indicate the brevity of life and the quick passage of time, trod underfoot, while the viewer notices that the objects at eye-level have become faded and neglected. The use of green here is indicative of the color yellow, which artists recognize as meaning they like blue."

Other's I'll cut into small pieces to use to clean stuff... mostly guns, hand tools and the like (cotton socks, not wool ones.) Again, when used-up... trash.
Unmatched, single socks without holes get used for storing stuff I don't want to get scratched or dirty... work glasses for example.

I knew a gal who worked as an art professor here in my hometown for some time, and I asked her why Rembrandt Van Rijn died broke, considering that he was one of the most renowned European portrait painters in his own lifetime. She said it was because he worked in a format and manner that took so long to complete one painting, he never would have made a living on his artwork at all had he not enjoyed a lot of patronage.

I'm on a cast iron cooking group on Facebook.
I tell people all the time, if you don't know the provenance of a piece, always test for lead.
Cast iron skillets for cooking are in the house. (Estate sales and look like they were just used)
Cast iron skillets that are rusty and found in a barn were great-granddad's for melting lead and making shot or fishing weights.
Reason being, they didn't have the money to run down to Sears and buy a skillet or pan just for making shot. They used an old one and got another one later.

Yeah, there was a group of older ladies at my former church who would get together in the narthex every Saturday morning and knit and chat. Sometimes I would happen to be there and would join in the conversation. They would offer to teach me how to knit. My manual dexterity is not good, so I always refused. But it did look relaxing.

Several thousand human subjects have been aerosol-vaccinated over a period of many years in Russia with live-attenuated strains against many diseases. Extensive field trials in South America with aerosolized live-attenuated measles vaccine have also been successful, and excellent results have been reported with pilot projects employing inactivated or live-attenuated aerosol influenza A vaccine.

Yeah, my rule of thumb: should they be washed before re-use? Then toss them.
But there’s no need to throw out a plastic bag that was being used to keep bread fresh. Just pop it back in the breadbox and use it for the next bread, rolls, cookies, whatever, dry baked good.
Ditto with using ziplocks in the freezer. Is it just water? Then inside out and dry. Would I be more comfortable washing it before re-using it for something else that needs to be frozen? Toss it.

The film version of it (Silver Bullet, I think?) was awful. The director gave away the identity of the werewolf in an early scene. But then, many of the film adaptations of SK's work have been terrible. They latch onto and emphasize all the spooky/horrifying stuff, but leave out the human dimensions that make his best work go. Stand By Me, Shawshank Redemption, Dead Zone (w/ Chris Walken), and maybe one or two other adaptations work because the director and scripter understood what they had.

Mostly because there was none of the confusion as to who the bad guys actually were.
King in the book seemed to have really prefer the Rose the Hat gang o'Vamire-Type-Wannabes cuz "diverse" and "matriarchy".
All that and other drops was tossed away in the movie and it made a better and cleaner story.

His best work was in the '70s and '80s, but then he began to stretch. The young King could never have written a story like Mr. Mercedes, for instance, or "The Library Policeman," or what I consider his best, 11/22/63.
When you pick up one of his books, you are certain to have a *story.* You may not agree with him about it, you may hate that he lets his politics shine through, but there is always a story.

"And I looked out to the calm seas, the precursor to destruction, the apocalyptic powers of a hurricane, and I saw my own mortality. With a bated breath, I pushed aside my plate of pizza, made from the rape and manipulation of the natural world, and I realized at last that nature should be raped for our benefit. These calm seas were only calm to lull us into a false sense of security, a prelude to ultimate destruction of our forms."

Both are sleek, lean and mean, horror/thiller machines. Very well-written(for King) and effective.

He screwed baby jar lids to a strip of wood and then screwed that to the bottom of a shelf over his workbench. Screws and nails and small parts went into baby food jars and then he'd twist the jar into the lid. Kept small parts off the workbench and easily seen thru the glass jar.

The dude who owned my first house did that. The underside of the shelves over the bench in the basement were all baby food jars. My grandfather made some rig from a 4X4 that rotated so you had 4 rows of jars.

Dr. Drew was talking with Russell Brand yesterday, and he talked about how, as a young intern, he was all in on the AIDS scare. How he believed Fauci was doing the Lord's work, warning everyone about how they were going to die if they had unprotected sex.
Then he learned how discriminating HIV appeared to be, that it was NOT infecting everyone. Just certain groups of people.
So when he sees this crap now, mostly he was talking about the Covids, but climate change nonsense too, it pisses him off royally, and hopefully there will be many more people who OUGHT to know better who stop that bullshit.

Before you say that, you should watch the best screenplay for any of his works, Maximum Overdrive. /sarc.
Weirdly, I recently and finally read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, and sprang for a Brave New World, Revisited edition. That’s where Huxley writes about the importance of the book. He… did not see it as allegory, but as, basically, hard science fiction. Soma and hypnopaedia were real, the psychology was all hard psychology, etc.
It wasn’t a warning about how “Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of the central government.” It was a warning about the actual drugs used in the book, that were only decades away.

I know it's bad for the environment and I feel so shamed, but a proper toilet just isn't as accessible or practical when you're one step from peeing on the carpet.

I pee in the backyard. Then I look over/thru the fence and watch a cow piss and I feel totally inadequate.

He screwed baby jar lids to a strip of wood and then screwed that to the bottom of a shelf over his workbench. Screws and nails and small parts went into baby food jars and then he'd twist the jar into the lid. Kept small parts off the workbench and easily seen thru the glass jar.

My dad did the same. Many of the dads in the neighborhood used the same technique. Of course, they all went through the depression and WW2. Wasn't much they didn't save. I'm the same way.

Given that a large portion of the officer corps is filled with anti-American jackasses, probably less than you might imagine.

I want to see if Joe can speak coherently, in response to unscripted Trump remarks, for 90 minutes or so. Either legitimately, or while trying to pass-off ear-piece assistance as his own thoughts.

I do this with sheet sets- French knots on the inside hems.
I tie the sets with similar colored fabric ties and rotate them in the closet.

Report: Hollywood Is Falling Big in China, With Zero American Movies Making the Top 10 for 2023

It was definitely a concerted effort for at least 15-20 years, but China is kicking them out in favor of their own industry.
The anti-Americanism is morphing into the more typical and American variety: Gramsci inspired.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, walking with hope in America with Frank Capra at January 26, 2024 10:54 AM (GBKbO)
China's been very clear that they envy the reach of American movies and how they act as "propaganda" for the American Way.
They sucked up to the hollywood weirdos to learn the nuts and bolts of the Hollywood movie to -
start exporting their own worldwide hits exposing the "Chinese Way".
Smart Vs dumb. Guess who was who.

USCIS dot gov: There are approximately 820 individuals either currently serving in the military, or who have signed contracts to serve, who are recipients of DACA and were recruited via the Military Accessions Vital to National Interest (MAVNI) Pilot Program. This reflects approximately 520 individuals in the active duty and reserve component (to include the Selected Reserve (SELRES) Delayed Training Program) and approximately 310 in the Delayed Entry Program. Of the approximately 520 currently serving, personnel master files reflect that approximately 140 have self‐reported a change in their citizenship status to indicate naturalization. Citizenship data is as of July 31, 2017 and subject to change due to attrition, discharges, or other pending naturalization requests.
Recently, To serve in the U.S. military, immigrant recruits must be legally & permanently (through an I-551 or Permanent Residence Card) present in the United States, have work authorization & at least a high school diploma or GED, and speak English. Immigrants can become naturalized through military service after one year of honorable service during peacetime or immediately during a “period of hostility..."
