New car day for us

Teal colored low-poly ass overgrown hatchback of an electric car
I have been seriously researching and shopping for a couple of months, and closed the deal yesterday on a new (to us) EV, a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
We had our Honda Fit for just a few months short of 10 years, and it was a total champ. That Fit took us from MN to as far as Oregon and Toronto and back. We loved the small size and large cargo space, the purple color, the utter reliability, but the spike in gas prices, the flood of good options fresh off of 3-year leases and good trade-in value for the Fit made it feel like the right time to make a change.
Not enough miles with it yet to be past the honeymoon period, but so far it's total blast to drive and i'm hopeful it'll be as good to us for the next many years as that Honda.

Congrats! The Ioniq 5 is one of my upgrade pics over the Kona EV I've had for the last 3+ years.

Starting my first mural on Monday

Photograph of a blank wall on the side of a housing block. The wall is about 3 stories high.
More than two years ago, one of my neighbors suggested to me that I should paint a mural on an ugly wall at a square down my street.
It took me forever to scrape enough courage together to get funding from various kinds of places. But I managed. I got the money. I got the permits. I got the scissor lift. I got the wall renovated and plastered. I got the paint and a colleague that is going to help me. And it should be ready by June 13, because then it’s going to be officially opened.
I found the whole process rather nerve-racking because all in all it’s about €18,000. But my goodness, will I be happy and relieved once it’s done.

This is awesome! I can't wait for updates!
Ooh, this is exciting!
This is going to be massive! I hope you have fun while working your arse off!

Took me a few minutes to realize those 2 bottom locks are attached to the metal bars that fit through a slot in the bottom horizontal shaft. Unlock them, slide the bar out and open the gate.
It's an OR gate.
(Yeah, AND locks exist, for electrical lockout/tagout safety)

A Precious Moments figurine in tribute to the film JAWS. Hand-painted figurine of characters dressed as Quint, Brody and Hooper watching JAWS rise from the sea. Wood-look finishes, metallic paint. Around the bottom, it reads "When Life Feels Too Big... Get A Bigger Boat!"
I thought for sure this was a spoof

I think your top seeds are empanada, samosa, pierogi and ravioli. (Gyoza gets denied a top seed and uses that resentment to win it all.)
Tiny issue of scale: your pasty should be roughly burrito-sized, while gnocchi are about the size of a fava bean

I’m self catering my daughter’s graduation party this weekend. I’m making a a boat load of Empenadas, a chicken tinga and a corn and black bean, I’m making a Greek orzo pasta salad, and a Tuscan bruschetta. I have 90 Empenadas to go
them are some beautiful-lookin' empanadas right there! (also, WHEW, i know that's a TON of work, so good luck on the sprint!)
always wanted to try making some at home. would love to know what your dough recipe looks like.

@nikkuneko my true weakness, I suck at dough making. I buy the disks at the market up the street. I have neither the time nor the patience to make the dough from scratch. as much as I hate GOYA, its a cheap alternative
@cottenwess i feel you! it is a massive time suck to do it by hand. good to know there is a ready-made alternative out there!

Photo shows an image of a medium small brown short-haired dog with her ears flapping in the wind as she gets all the smells on her way to the Rainbow Bridge.
We gave her the best life we possibly could. The unfairness of living longer than our companions is not lost upon me this day.
Peace and sweet memories to you.

The hurt of having to make that decision never fully goes away, but if you did it right -- and it sounds like you did -- the joy and love of your life with her will always chase away the sad moments. Godspeed, best girl.

Engraving of a torture machine shaped like a statue of the Virgin Mary with spike studded arms driven by a system of pulleys that impale the victim as she hugs them to death.

Where evil is “make up nonsense that never happened as wartime propaganda”?
obviously Napoleon wasn’t much of a hugger
@cottenwess It's propaganda from the Peninsular War. I'm not sure if it was originally anti-Spanish or anti-French, but almost certainly was not a real thing.

Howard Hughes’ motor home, about which more here: https://www.tumblr.com/mostlysi...
This is the real rich guy shit right here
You ever take it off any sweet jumps...?
The "1952 Howard Hughes motorhome" refers to a persistent automotive myth or a misattributed artifact. While the eccentric billionaire was known for his custom-built vehicles (such as a 1954 Chrysler New Yorker with a custom air filtration system built into the trunk), there is no documented record that Hughes ever designed or owned a traditional "motorhome.
Another legend that frequently circulates online is the "1952 Hughes Torpedo," often labeled by social media as a custom Hughes camper.In reality, this was a futuristic, streamlined concept car built with jet-inspired styling.

Reminds me of Arthur Getz's New Yorker covers.
So he was 53 when he painted this.
Born before widespread use of electricity and the lightbulb.
Few places in the world with that much night time illumination back then I guess.
Really shows the _wonder_.

In their "Sunday Best," Vietnamese women await the weekly audience with Pope Leo XIV. Their hats are unusual, to me, I have never seen this style, large, flying saucer shaped with bright, primary colors, to match the colors in the more traditional dresses, they are wearing so well. Their loveliness is the reason for this post.
