Oof! I’m glad you were wearing that helmet!

Yay for safety! Glad you're OK.

This is why i always wear my helmet on trails, it's the dumb things you can't always plan for that get you. Glad you're going to be ok.

@m3moellering @bezt Thanks!

@wjcstp Exactly. Most of my stupid crashes the last few years have been places I knew really well, and probably wasn't being as careful as I needed to be.

Yup yup. The bike accidents that mess you up the most usually end up being the dorky ones like falling over because you couldn't unclip fast enough, or hitting your head on a low branch.

Glad you had protection, got care quickly and know what to do.

woof! glad you're alright and glad you're wearing a helmet!

Hate to hear this.

rated TV-MA for extreme dollhouse action

(i really need to go back and watch the rest of it someday when i have HBO again)

Huh, interesting. I've also felt the pull to rewatch The Wire lately.

Someone - either Alan Sepinwall or at the AV Club - once wrote a review I've never forgotten, which was that "Deadwood", "Sopranos" and "The Wire" best represented America because they showed America at its different stages (slightly out of order in terms of when the shows aired): Deadwood its uber capitalistic, corrupt birth while also mired in a sense of community and wrong vs right; Sopranos in the middle of its lifespan, flailing about in the result of what won the aftermath of its birth; and Wire as its inevitable decline and death, showcasing how very much the sins of capitalism, lack of moral care, and thus the immoral choices in its birth led to its bitter end. At the time I thought it a rather over the top characterization - hey, I had come up through the 90s, when everything did seem like it could only get better, even though I was naive about the rot and Reaganism underneath - but now I understand that commentary in a way I didn't then.

Anyway, lately I've been thinking about that a lot. As great as The Sopranos was, I really do think The Wire and Deadwood capture America in a way very few pieces of media have . . . and of the two, perhaps in that desperate way we use media to undestand our world - only in this case I find my attempt clawing and mewling to fully comprehend what's happening - The Wire is to what I've returned.

A great rewatch.

@williwaw That's an interesting thought so I had to go look it up! Thanks for sharing. I think it was this podcast: https://web.archive.org/web...

I'm definitely overdue for a rewatch as well.

I first watched The Wire right around the time Season 5 was wrapping up, after hearing a lot of "greatest show ever made" discussion in multiple places. I had heard it was bit of a slow burn, and my impression as I worked my way through season 1 was that the show was just a well-done, very interesting police drama - very good, but not quite living up to the hype.

*possible spoilers* Then a thing happened at the end of E10. That's when I realized just how much I had gotten to know (and care about, and empathize with) the characters. Not just the one the thing happened to, but the others who portrayed panic and fear in a way I don't think I've ever seen on a television show or movie. Never have I been happier to be watching something on demand where I could move to the next episode - that must have been absolutely brutal for anyone who had to wait a week.

A little slow, a little late

A life, Jimmy? You know what that is? It's the stuff that happens when you're waiting for moments that never come

@williwaw Really interesting, and jibes with how i feel about the Wire, the many subplots all have that similar theme of displaying the consequences from a history of choices. I haven't seen Deadwood, might have to remedy that after we finish this rewatch

Damn, that's beautiful.

Sensory pain (type III sensory fibers sending signals to nociceptors of neospinothalamic tract) travel at 3 - 30 m/s ( ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ). I'm guessing the increased speed is from the wider fiber diameter, which I presume are pretty large for a person's hands and fingers, so let's presume the higher velocity.

1 AU == 149597870700 m

You'd feel the pain a little over 158 years later.

this painting was my work machine desktop for many years!

I'm really trying to see a torso, but I can't. Maybe this is related to my inability to see Magic Eye pictures? Is there part of a head or face at all, or is it just shoulders down? I really want my brain to be able to click on this.

@Xedrik the Met link doesn't mention a torso at all https://www.metmuseum.org/art...

This image is in a portrait show. The lightesy parts of the image are the top of the breast, there is shadow underneath. A very subtle portrait.

Folks see what they see, but from the linked Guardian article:

“…The Face of Modern Life also offers works that are not so much reproductions of a person’s form as they are impressions based on the texture of experience and emotional temperature. Among these are Paul Klee’s May Picture and Vasily Kandinsky’s Improvisation 27 (Garden of Love II). Said to be inspired by a garden, May Picture offers an array of dreamy squares in soft colors, while Garden of Love offers vestiges of a central sun and several human figures that have been pushed toward illegibility.

“The Klee and the Kandinsky are paintings what we could easily call abstract compositions, not portraits in a traditional way but direct aesthetic experiences,” said D’Alessandro.”

the hummus sounds good as heck! would love to see your recipe.

@nikkuneko I have been winging this lovely stuff. I keep raw pumpkin seeds bulk purchased at Winco. If you want to get diwn and dirty, Costa del Sol, sells a foil packed refried black beans, product. It is maybe an 18 oz pack. The ingredients were good, healthful, they were 1$ per, in a bin. Their other product had msg, didn't buy. So I sautéed ~1/3 C raw pumpkin seeds with garlic, cumin, some medium heat, red chili powder, in extra virgin olive oil, until they are a little toasty. Add a couple of tablespoons more oluve oil at the end and the juice of a whole smaller lemon, put this in the blender, with either a can of black beans, or half the pack of refried black beans, or a can of refried black beans if the ingredients are OK with you.

Start the pumpkin seeds oil and lemon juice in the blender, add a little soy sauce, water, or more lemon juice to help grind the seeds, ( I like them smooth.) Then add the beans and blend until smooth, this should not be runny, and you can help it along with a spatula. If you have a food processor this is easier. Add as much hot sauce as you like, if you want this to last for a few days then I would skip the cilantro, or parsley, unless you cook it well with the seeds. The lemon juice gets cooked, so this ends up being a durable spread. I usually melt some Muenster cheese on top of the toast before putting on the hummus. But this is good also as a vegetarian meal. The packaged black beans had vegetable oil, rather than lard.

This is easy to vary, my current batch is made with some chili beans.

@0y3ahSansAcut3 beautiful, thank you!
