It's wholesome. And utterly delicious

Tiny eggs and tiny bacon

Right, as my HS teacher who was from Deutschland loved to tell us, the Germans make new words all the time by lumping a bunch of smaller ones together.

iirc their "bus stop" is something like "that place where the bus picks up people".

49 I like how the two striped patterns form a type of frame around the central image, and that they are two of the primary colors. The rest of the work has a yellow-ish tone to it, the third primary color. The standing figure is also in stripes, but different stripes-pinstripes. Rather than color on white like the other two, she's got white on color.

Also, the overall tone is warm, yellow as mentioned but with some orange and red too. To me then, the blue stripes on the two girls counter the warmth with a cool tone. And by putting the blue pinstripes in the near center, it really balances out the heavier warms. BUT that is also toned down by the white apron. Take the apron away and the blue pinstripes becomes dominant. The artist knew what he was doing here.

91 As for the expense of the china, there was a time when children were expected to sit quietly at the table - without fidgeting, sweeping hand gestures, or excessive talking.
It was a priviledge to be at the Big Table, and not in the nursery.
Children were aware of the fact that, should they not manage their behavior appropriately, they would NOT be included in what was a desired outcome. Discipline was generally firm in that culture.
No "Oh, he's JUST a child!" excuses. Behave, or be banished from the fun.

Somebody here made a passing reference a few weeks back to the movie "The Muppets: Treasure Island", so I threw it in my queue.

Watched it last evening. Very enjoyable.

Thanks to whoever mentioned it.

109 German numbers, long or short, are written as one word. For example, to say or write the number 7,254 (which is not really a very long number), the German is siebentausendzweihundertvierundfünfzig.

That is a single word of 38 letters, so you could imagine what larger and more complex numbers may look like.

Repeated for the daywalkers.

I've completed the Second Official AoSHQ Classical Music Playlist of Sedition and Domestic Terrorism (TM), consisting of 800 pieces by 800 different composers. You can see the list here:

http://soyaraborzoi.com/Playlist2.htm

Almost 90% is new over the first playlist and the carryovers are pretty much ones that you'd be surprised if they weren't there. If you have the first playlist, you'll still be getting a lot from this one.

The pieces stretch from the 14th to the 21st century. The bias is toward the Classical and Romantic periods, so all you afficianados of plainchant, Renaissance sackbuts, progressive exercises, dodecaphony, serialism, aleatory, and minimalism are SOL.

Same terms as before. Write me at monsalvat 61 at gmail dot com with your mailing address if you'd like a flash drive with these works. While I am not making claims to good taste, I think previous recipients will testify to the value of someone like me serving as an aggregator.

Morality? Who needs that? All that old stuff is like, squaresville, daddy-o. These days we're so much more hip and with it than to believe that there are things that people shouldn't do. It's all about what makes you feel good, ya dig me? *snaps fingers in an oh-so-cool way*

There's a book about the history of dining in NYC, Appetite City which notes that curiously, despite Gotham's reputation as a place where you could find almost any cuisine in the world, the one that was the hardest to find was German. There were many German restaurants and beer gardens during the 19th and early 20th centuries, but WWI cut them down drastically and WWI more or less drove them all out of business, at least at the time the book was written.

262 My favorite thing about German is their words that define entire concepts that are extremely difficult to define. Once you know thhem, though, they became enormously useful. It's why we tend to use them as loanwords.

My favorite might be "gestaltzerfall," which means "the collapse of the gestalt." It's the phenomenon where you look at something for so long (or so many similar things) that the shapes lose all cohesion and materialize, becoming just so much visual noise until you step away for a bit to reset and go back and look at it again.

Oddly, this is a serious problem in China and Korea due to the way their script looks, where most word/letter shapes are similar in size and overall outline and the internal structure defines the meaning. When you encounter gestaltzerfall, which they do with higher frequency than other cultures, you become unable to read.

There are reasons for a vendor to end a relationship with a customer. There is justification for that. But companies casually firing their customers without hesitation is arrogance bordering on hubris. No unprotected company would do that. Therefore, they're protected. Therefore, they're in the club. Therefore, they're evil.

Posted by: creeper

You know, I kinda wonder about this one. Well, not that salvation part. But I wonder if SCOTUS, and some other courts, might not see themselves as the lone defender of the 'Republic', now that #orangemanbad is gone? It'll be interesting to watch.

The libs on the Twats have turned to "his speech didn't incite it that day, but all his other speeches since he took office did". And they lose their minds when you post screengrabs from CNN of liberals encouraging BLM violence in reply.

399 I pointed out that Ankers was Swiss and not German while I pointed people to his wiki page. Had you looked, you might have noticed that the titles on some of his works were "German" but used different words than the Modern German I used for the same items when I lived in Germany for years. It could be a regional think and it could be a time thing as language does change over time.

Of course, German varies substantially between regions. And they are keen to note it. Northern Germans would rarely fail to comment on my Hessian accent. I rarely got the same from Bavarians though I could barely understand Austrians.

I guess you would actually have to have looked at the link and have some experience in German to understand the point of the statement. Sorry, my bad.

Remember opportunity, motivation and ability. Most actual conservatives are frozen out of access to the areas where cheating happening. Most conservatives won't be hired by Dominion which appears to be a rich Bolshevik's club. That really impacts opportunity.

And yes, the Bolsheviks and VichyGOP would drop the hammer quickly just as they have done with the "violent insurrection" on Black Wednesday.
