I love how, for me in my limited knowledge, at a broad glance, this piece has almost a cartoon-like, more simplistic look, but the more time I spend looking, the more detail and realism appears to me. Very cool, thanks for sharing this.

What a beautiful painting, thank you for sharing. I’ve recently moved to the southwest and fallen in love with the area, what little I’ve seen. The colors and textures really work together to capture the feeling of the place, and of seeing a shower roll by and the race to stay ahead of it and stay dry. I’ve never rode a horse, but looking at this painting I can’t help but wish I was riding alongside them, trying to get home before we were soaked.

I know nothing of these magics, but I saw your sweater on my homepage and it looks great. I like the proportions, the cut and color and fit are all really nice. I hope it all turns out how you want, so far so good.

Edit: I like that the sleeve length keeps you warm but wouldn’t get soiled in day-to-day activities like washing a few dishes or a quick garden task.

How would you like them to fund their providing you with this data?

If by “buy it for life” you mean “use several lifetime’s scissors budgets”.

Heck of a party bong

This is a really interesting idea. I like the juxtaposition of the fact a train goes only on a set track through known lands, and a cartographer discovers new lands that wouldn’t have trains yet, so in my mind, the train would deliver the mapmaker to the edge of the known world to continue making maps of the unknown land so it can be made known.

What seems like a wild assumption is that an ad in one language would be designed with what another language might think of the ad in mind. Why would a Chinese person care about a Mexican ad for Coca-Cola? You’ve found something to enjoy being upset at.

Probably why they published it in English and not your native language so you wouldn’t be confused and think they meant it that way. Too bad somebody will always go the extra step to be offended.

Wanted to add: it may be getting too cool at night. If there’s a warmer spot with full indoor light/partial outdoor light it may stop changing colors, but that looks like a pretty good setup as is.

I’m not an expert but that looks like seasonal discoloration, and it is getting to be winter ish in the northern hemisphere so that stands to reason . Overall it looks pretty happy, but in the spring it’ll make you pretty new leaves.

That’s so cool. I want to live in a cave like that.

The general atmosphere and habit of the reader is to assume there will be, and that the title is inflated, etc. None of this has anything to do with you or the article posted in particular, but is now the culture of news reading for readers to try to add additional context, in the form of comments, and some of those comments will be attempts by readers to help one another navigate the sea of articles while looking for factual information presented well.

I think it’s interesting that instead of talking about how cool this is, we’re all talking about whether a tldr was just a helpful blurb or the harbinger of the downfall of literacy…

But this is really cool! I wonder what happened to those old villages or towns and what languages they spoke. Do you think they would’ve been related to the Basque peoples? I also have to wonder whether there are still any human settlements in the places marked on the map. How cool would that be, to learn your sleepy hamlet had been standing there since before bronze was a thing?

I only read the article because of your tldr, it sounded too clickbaity the way the editors of the magazine titled it.

Hey for whatever it’s worth while that person is entitled to their opinion I quite like how you’re doing things as you are. Thanks for creating and sharing.
