Mid-Morning Art Thread
Jamie Wyeth It's easy to see the father's influence on the son's art. Whether that is a good thing depends on your feelings about Andrew Wyeth. I would never point out that Andrew Wyeth may be the greatest American artist of the 20th century, because that might influence your opinion. But...Andrew Wyeth may be the greatest American artist of the 20th century!

And also what we called a spring house out in the yard - half buried in the dirt, water running through (and out of it) for the milk and cheese.

"This is a level of weaponization of the Justice Department we haven't seen since the McCarthy era. Thank God Tina wasn't protesting critical race theory at a Virginia school board meeting or they might have brought two battering rams."

I nominate Robert McGinnis. You've seen his work on the cover of paperback Gold Medal original novels, and on the early James Bond movie posters. His stuff is still being used on the covers of the Hard Case Crime paperbacks. He truly knew how to draw and emphasize the female form.

Saw the first episode. I remember when I watched the "It" made for TV miniseries thinking, "Why'd they do that instead of just following the story?" All the pointless changes that served no purpose. They did a lot of that in Wheel of Time.
It also is a very obvious "diversity" pick for the cast and they smutted up the Three Rivers story. The entire point was a simple, innocent, close knit community that was destroyed by real world events. Even if they weren't going to be white, they should have been homogenous and not been throwing in the smut. It was just awkward, missed the point, and doesn't bode well for the future.

It feels to me like the NeverTrump (or RINOs, perhaps) contingent is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Hence Sununu deciding not to run and McCarthy making big public displays of resistance. They know which way the wind is blowing, and it's not towards compassionate conservatism.
Of course, the fight between the Establishment and the base isn't exactly new. Eisenhower vs. Taft, and all.

The 13 assholes can make a case for voting for the infrastructure bill. Now it will be a poor one since that bullshit bill contained very little infrastructure and a lot of left wing wet dreams, but that aside. They can not justify voting for it without an iron clad written guarantee that there would be NO social infrastructure bill. THAT was their major mistake and the mistake of the RINO Moron Senators that crafted that "compromise" infrastructure bill. They, as usual, got taken to the cleaners

That's probably a piece of trivia that passed through my head at one point.
1941 is underrated. It was also almost directed by Robert Zemeckis, but Zemeckis' box office record as director was dismal. The studio would only trust the large budget in the hands of a more practiced and established hand, so they got Zemeckis' mentor, Spielberg, to direct.

Richard as Hooper serves 3 important functions: to get certain technical information about sharks across to the audience, to provide a little non-silly comic relief, and to act as a stand-in for the audience. "That guy is just like me!" Jeff Goldblum's Dr. Malcolm did the same things (with chaos theory in his case instead of sharks) in Jurassic Park.

As you can tell, it's divisive. I love the pure anarchy of the thing, though it's still a bit of a mess. It's pretty much an anti-Spielberg movie despite his directorial hand. It's much more in line with Zemeckis' Used Cars than anything else. Also, John Milius co-wrote the script.

After I had conducted my business I asked the service manager why the vehicle was on a charger.

Because that 7% demand is the fantasy demand. Like how many people wish they had a corvette/mustang/viper and an f-150 and a nice family vehicle. I bet that demand is through the roof... before you account for the actual costs. So yeah maybe the demand is 7% of the market but it's not 7% of the market when those people start to look at the price of an EV that would actually accomplish what they want.

the book sucked and the movie sucked"
I read that the author was always disappointed that no one realized it was supposed to be a Satire on Spy-thriller movies. It didn't seem to occur to him that if you're trying to write satire and nobody can figure out what you're doing, you're not very good at it, are you?
I think the movie stands out as one of those rare instances of a Bad Script being saved by a good director and a great cast. Or at least made watchable.

There are over-the-top elements like the name of the hero's spymaster boss and the title of the agency he is sent on missions for ("CII," short, Trevanian tells us, for the 102 scattered US intelligence agencies consolidated into CII). Plus the hero seems to be more about his lavish lifestyle, buying art and converting a former church into his home, than he is about the mission.

Yep. One of the things we were recently informed we needed to integrate into the underhood area is an electrical test port that service/maintenance operators can use to confirm that the high voltage (HV) wiring system is off before they start their service operations. So, as you say, the service techs don't fry themselves.

Trevanian wrote Hemlock as a sociopath although he didn't use the term since Dr. Robert Hare's research and use of the term 'sociopath' hadn't yet come into public parlance. Sociopaths tend to be obsessive about material possessions, objects. People are objects to them. One of the hardest tricks in fiction is to make a sociopath a readable protagonist.

Exactly. It too me 12 horrifying hours in Katrina to get 100 miles away from town. In a very short time, the battery in an EV would have been flatter than Greta's chest.

Anyone remember the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?
It was essentially a long series of interviews with Hollywood actors about an electric concept car they were allowed to lease from Ford in the early 00s. They all loved it so much, and when Ford took repossession of the cars, they were crestfallen.
I didn't see how a bunch of rich Hollywood actors loving an electric car without any real concept of how much it cost (to the point that Ford decided it wasn't worth it) was supposed to inspire me to demand electric vehicles.

That's my take as well. No renter is gonna invest in a charging station for his car. I also had the idea if gas reaches $10 a gallon driving an EV will be invitation to having your car torched by people realizing they are being forced to subsidize this shit. I think you can torch an EV by just drilling a drywall screw into the battery.

They're certainly not high on initial quality, but the owners are way more tolerant of issues on a new Tesla than on any other brand.

Social media post of one Darrell Brooks, 38 yr old black man, dated sometime in 2020.
So whatever minimizing of his intentions the press and government officials attempt to do, remember this.
When and if the vile agitating press gets their way and racial strife becomes social breakdown, each and every person with a press credential should fear for their lives. They've earned at least that.

They have recharging service trucks in the Seattle metro area. Basically a giant battery/generator on wheels that will come and quick charge you.

You want to make electric cars work? Shitcan the "rechargeable" batteries. Design a cheap standardized "disposable" battery that doesn't use scarce and expensive metals in its chemistry, zinc/air maybe. Go with one or two standardized form factors that fit all cars, just like "D" cells fit all "D" cell flashlights. You buy a battery, slot it in, and drive it until it goes dead, say 500 miles. Then you slide it out, buy a fresh battery, and carry on. Used batteries go back to the factory to be recycled into new ones.

He did that as well. I have seen some very impressive examples of his egg tempera. Tempura is a Japanese dish.

That's a great question. I'm going to follow-up with my service engineering contacts at work when I am back from my vacation next week and see if they have any of that info. I know I asked program management about this sort of data back when we had the EV presentation. I know they said it existed, but I never had anyone follow-up with me on that. (not surprising) But the service engineering guys I work with are great. Hopefully they'll have some benchmarking data. I'll find out next week.

That was GM, not Ford, and the car was the EV-1, and the participants knew right from the get-go that their use of the car was going to have an end date. The car wasn't "killed" because it was never "born" as a production vehicle.
