The Roaring Forties refers to that range of latitude, but is it the Northern Hemisphere, Southern, or both?

That was my first thought. But couldn't that also be in the same latitude out in the Pacific? (Despite its name, that ocean is not "peaceful.")

Agreed. The artist may be depicting the terrifying storms of the South Pacific, but it would be nice to see something else in the picture to give it more contrast and context. As it is, for all we know we are looking a zoomed in version of the artist's bathtub drain when he's done with his bath.

Went to sea
Without a care
Vows unkept
Come On
Was the one
Now he's gone
For right or wrong

The "Marine Biologist" episode. George is telling a girl he is a marine biologist, which he isn't, and walking on the beach they encounter a beached whale. And someone calls for a marine biologist. In the final scene, George is sitting with Jerry and the others in the coffee shop, telling the story. "The sea was angry that day, my friends . . . like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli."
The amazing thing is that all four characters are seated, which usually decreases the energy level of a speaker. But George dominates that scene and makes it work.

The 13th century prince Llywelyn was very fond of hunting. His favourite hound was called Gelert who had been given to him by the English King John.
One day, the prince and his princess set out for a day’s hunting together, leaving their baby in the safe care of Gelert. On returning home they were horrified to discover the baby was missing and Gelert’s muzzle was covered in blood. Llywelyn immediately drew his sword and killed his favourite hound. As Gelert fell to the ground a baby’s cry was heard from a dark corner of the room.
Llywellyn discovered his heir was lying safe. But, by the baby’s side lay a mighty wolf, which had been killed by Gelert. The protective hound had killed the wolf to defend the baby but had then died by his master’s sword.

Camouflage Service
In 1918, Waugh was recommended to serve as a camouflage artist (or camoufleur) for the U.S. Navy, as a member of the Design Section of its marine camouflage unit.[9][10] That section was located in Washington, D.C., and was headed by American painter Everett L. Warner.[11]

Starboard!!!
https://tinyurl.com/yr9f4j3y
Port!!!
According to a biography of Waugh, “Many large ships, including the Leviathan, were painted according to his designs. Though the enterprise was of course a team effort in which no man played a solo part, he had every reason to be proud of his record. Only one ship with his system of camouflage was lost during the war”.

Republican debate winners and losers ... but mostly losers. Last time, I argued it was a mistake for Trump to miss the debate, giving his field of competitors a chance to get some attention. This time, it was absolutely the right call.
Not only was the pro-Ukraine commercial a great advertisement, but moderators mimicked its talking points in questions..all supported Ukraine except tech bro Vivek Ramaswamy, who clung to pro-Putin talking points.
It’s rote to blame moderators for shitty debates, but this time, they actually had great questions, and even the occasional follow-up.
The audience were bored to tears. Maybe they didn’t hear enough about Hunter Biden? They did liven up when DeSantis bragged about his fascist book-burning crusade in Florida.
The breakout surprise of the first debate, Haley was godawful in the second debate. She did try to do “policy,” at one point, which may have been her biggest mistake of the night. No one cares about policy in the Republican Party.

Well that point is not entirely wrong, but it needs to be wider. Nobody cares about policy anymore anywhere. We're post-policy now. The whole game is now rhetoric and identifying the enemy. Nothing more. Policy? That shit's for the birds. Only a functional country with a legitimate government cares about policy.

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying."
Beautiful use of a limited palette to capture the cold power and majesty of the ocean. The subtle blending of sky and water increases the vastness that men must face when dealing with the seas. Very effective.

Last night I was surfing some U-Toob and randomly a video popped up of Regis and Kelly on Sept 11. I clicked on on it and it was surreal. The show was taped live in NY at 9:00. The first plane hit at 8:48. And this was pre smart phones and everyone instantly knowing everything. So the hosts tell the audience right as the show starts that a plane has hit one of the towers. Mind you this is 14 minutes after it happened and the audience had no idea. And they’re all like whoa. But then Regis goes hope everyone is OK now back to the show. He assumed it was just a small plane that accidentally crashed. Then a few minutes later the second plane hits and Kelly is about to faint. They cut to commercial.
It was trippy watching that. Drawing back into that time and realizing how different our world was. We take instant info on demand for granted today. But just 22 years ago people were in the dark for the most part.

As were Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton! I asked at both museums (and there was a genuine art scholar at Benton's place in KC); there is no well-known masters study of the role of dazzle commissions as a common factor in the careers of these important artists.
It seems a bigger stopping-off point for some pretty radical artists of US XX Cent. than the famous art shows and schools. FWIW, they were all fully trained painters before their camo experience. Learning cubism from combat would be just too good a story.
There is a great big hole in our Art Studies curriculum, here.

Yep. It was like a bad marriage, and the feds decided that it was better to kill the spouse than to let him go make his dumb decisions alone because there was a chance he'd be happy and successful.
And here we are again, except the cancer is down to the very localized city level, and society believes we're supposed to be one big United State and not 50 united states so there's no way to resolve it by moving to another state. The government set individuals up to be much worse off than if they'd followed the constitution to begin with.

That was being litigated pretty seriously at the time. There were two abolitionlist camps, one saw the constitution as invalid and wrong because it allowed slavery, the other, that included Spooner and Douglass, noted that the term "slavery" appears no where in the documents, and that to twist the language cruely to force that meaning was as wrong as slavery itself.

Freedom is one of those things that people insist on for themselves but not anyone else, kinda like the guy upthread whose personal preference would be to jail people for flying a flag he doesn't care for.

You make no sense. Paste the post saying you aren't allowed to get a divorce by a divorcee conservative.

That was being litigated pretty seriously at the time. There were two abolitionlist camps, one saw the constitution as invalid and wrong because it allowed slavery, the other, that included Spooner and Douglass, noted that the term "slavery" appears no where in the documents, and that to twist the language cruely to force that meaning was as wrong as slavery itself.

I checked, Grammie. Not according to Wiki: Frederick was an American, Evelyn was British, and there's no mention of EW in the Frederick bio. They were roughly contemporaries, but not related.

That's a hard question to answer. Failure is a failure of the whole self, an outward affirmation of your own inadequacy and worthlessness as a human being, bringing shame and humiliation upon yourself and your forebears. Success on the other hand brings the grifters, sharks, con men (and con women), snakes, backstabbers, credit-stealers, exploiters, and outright thieves.

Just watch some Long Island Audit videos. Sean Reyes is exposing the Naussau County police Chief for some shenanigans, and the chief is sending goons out to mess with him, as well as getting EIGHT orders of protection against him to try and stop him from going to the Clerk's office.

Not exactly slavery, but not good.
John Dewey - the father of American public education as it exists today - sought to use the school system to create compliant industrial automata to go work in America's factories and push the industrial engine along. Education as such was not his goal, nor was thinking, nor was philosophy, etc.
We are still digesting Dewey's bitter fruit.

I would like to see the actual charges against this ugly idiot. Piss poor reporting.
If she was arrested for simply livestreaming, that is very bad.
If she was actually looting, then okay, nail her.
If she was 'inciting' them to riot, that is problematic.
I have seen too many 1A audit videos to blindly trust the cops and prosecutors. They fish for reasons to eliminate transparency.

And? The point is that conservatives as a whole long ago gave up on the abolition of no-fault divorce (something that they once were quite vocal about). Like everything else, conservatives have made their peace with virtually all of liberalism predating the 1980s. Now, criticizing the divorced is just gauche, unthinkable, even though most Christian denominations historically took a pretty dim view of it to say the least. Conservatives can wrap their mind around dissolution of bows made before God, but for some reason me wanting to leave a political arrangement I never vowed to remain in till death do us part is wrong, immoral even. It's all a load of nonsense.

Sponge, I don't know what point you are trying to
make, and I don't think you do either. The symmetry goes both ways: in my pro-succession view, you also aren't bound forever to a union you never vowed to remain in forever no matter what. See how that works?
