But I can be the first to bitch about the art. Can't stand still-lifes. Boring.

53 This is part of a larger work called "Death of a Gravy Boat" and it's a triptych, but the next two panels are not pictured.

The piece itself shows the moment before the event in question. The gravy boat is sitting on the table, ready to receive its contents for the upcoming luncheon. The sullen maid has not yet filled it and so it is the last moment of normality before the tumult begins.

In the next panel, the sullen maid - embittered by her status - indifferently pours gravy into the vessel, splashing it onto the surrounding tablecloth and generally making a mess. The head maid is supervising and scolding the young maid.

In the third panel, the young maid is seen hurling the gravy boat at the head maid as the master of the estate walks across the room.

The implication is obvious, and the viewer is invited to mentally create his own fourth panel. The head maid is enraged, the young maid is stripped of her duties and dismissed, and the gravy boat is collateral damage.

The overall work, when fully pictured, is often considered a prime example of the "simple domestic tragedy" theme in the visual arts.

Posted by: G'rump928(c) at September 06, 2024 09:48 AM (aD39U)

99 Given the loss of the next two panels of the triptych, some art historians assert that it is not - and never way - a triptych and is a standalone piece. These historians believe that the confusion stems from inconsistent historical spelling and that the name of the piece is properly "Death of a Saucier" rather than "Death of a Sauciere."

A saucier is a "sauce chef" rather than a vessel for containing sauces. According to this thesis on the work's origin and intention, the piece is stand-alone and shows the aftermath of the sudden death of the estate's saucier.

The gravy boat sits unfilled, its contents never to appear. The man who prepares the gravies is no longer on this earth. The empty vessel is a sad testament to the transience of life and the void left with a man's passing.

Obviously it is a powerful symbol of the artist's mother, who rejected him when he was a child. He is forever seeking her approval, and the sexual dysfunction is ongoing, as he strives to please her.

219 A-1 is at least 30 years older than HP sauce, though both originate in England and A-1 came to the US about the same time that HP was developed. You have to reckon that advances in beef production created a bigger market for sauces in the second half of the 19th century. Before mass production of cattle and the factory system of slaughterhouses, beef was a rarity (yes I know) for all but the great houses and actual beef herders.

New $100M computer will apply AI to boost NOAA's weather forecasting capabilities | UPI

A new $100 million high-performance computer system will advance research and development efforts by NOAA on a number of scientific and weather-related tasks, the federal government announced Tuesday.

The high-performance computer called "Rhea" will advance NOAA research on weather, climate, and ocean and ecosystem prediction at its new modular facility in Fairmont, W. Va., at NOAA's Environmental Security Computing Center, currently home of the Hera HPC supercomputer.

NOAA's Rhea computer was "named for the Greek goddess and mother of gods," the agency said.

"The Rhea high-performance computer system adds needed computing capacity for NOAA to expand critical research that supports the nation's climate resilience," Assistant Secretary of Commerce Michael C. Morgan wrote Tuesday in a news release. [...]

The AP just deleted this tweet to avoid getting slammed by community notes, but let’s be clear about what just happened here…

JD Vance told reporters that he doesn't like that there are psychotic maniacs who shoot up schools, and that we should respond by improving security to make schools less vulnerable targets.

What did the AP do with that?

They twisted and cherry-picked his comments to make him seem cold and indifferent to victims.

The AP is a collection of liars and propagandists dressed up as a wire service. They're a dumping ground for bitter people too stupid to make it at a real publication. What trash.

At age 12, I did not know about the horrors of the Russian Front. So when Hogan says that Schultz closes his eyes to their activities lest he "get a vacation to the Russian Front," I was puzzled. To me, a vacation was a good thing. Hogan was being sarcastic, of course.

He'd played an unrepentant Nazi in Judgment at Nuremberg, Adolf Eichmann in a pic about the Israelis' capture of him, and a private detective (sans German accent) on Perry Mason. Plus some lighter work on Have Gun -- Will Travel and in the famous William Shatner-Leonard Nimoy episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

My mother rarely mentioned such things. But she went out of her way to say on a couple of occasions that she thought Klemperer was a very handsome man. . . .

Someone once asked Klemperer if, as a Jew, he had issues with playing Nazis. His reply was classic:
"I'm an actor. If I can play Richard III, I can play a Nazi."

299 Also about Klemperer: He drove a Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 sedan, the "banker's hot rod," to work every day at HH, prompting Bob Crane to call it "Werner's staff car." The vehicle had been ordered by no less than Roman Polanski. Polanski refused to take delivery when a driver took it out onto a race track and redlined it. So MB took it back, and Klemperer bought it and drove it happily for years.

Eventually it was sold again . . . to comic Rip Taylor. What a come-down in the world for that great car!

313 Just don't call it natural gas. Call it Liquid Sunshine. Then build it and use it.

However the back story on natural gas is the Commies in Washington ordered the hit on the Russian natural gas so that American natural gas could supply Europe.

Constraints on supply of LNG mean higher prices and less supply. That isn't going to make EU happy. But it also means more supply here at home so lower prices here.

But California has declared war on natural gas and is busy erasing it.

There's something being missed here with the LNG terminals.

339 Ach, Werner looks at this work and sees what would seem to be a through-line with Albrecht Dürer, among others. Gruber, the elder brother of the martyr Hans, who flew too near the sun and Bruce Willis, plummeting from Nakatomi Plaza to the indifferent tarmac, intrigues us, and we are well-disposed to him. But then the hidden horror manifests. Herr Francis counts one of the Swiss as an inspiration and mentor in his artistic endeavors.

This is anathema. As Werner has noted before, the only positive of the Swiss is that they are not Austrians, not too dissimilar to the observation that adult pythons may take more time to crush your skeletal structure than the Anaconda. They...actually, no, Werner withdraws that, as he does not wish to insult the slithering beasts by comparing them to the Swiss. Someday, in the Last Battle of Elves and Men, the Swiss will finally get what has long been their due, and most decisively. Asses shall be kicked and names taken, and some levity will be added to Ragnarok. This may be an overreaction on Werner's part.

Relying on internet advertising based on popups was always a risky and marginal business and one that was facing Google's AdSense as a competitor.

So she built a few platforms and then sold it to Salem which was probably the only buyer for those properties anyway. Salem makes it money as a conglomerate which is why their product stinks--it has to please advertisers and corps that are composed of the left of the GOP base that likes or tolerates the left's social and economic policies including globalism and endless sources of cheap labor but dislikes the Dems on national security and taxes.

Comes from a business mindset--prices are cheap here at home, if we can sell abroad, we can make more money and if need be invest even more money to increase production and so forth.

Essentially, the idea is by the time nat gas becomes short supply here---then new energy sources will substitute. To them, energy demand will inevitably find a supply via the substitution effect and it is foolish to keep the resource underground when it can be sold abroad for profit (and to sway Euroland away from the Russians).
