Not all paintings are intended to have a literal or even metaphorical meaning. Expressionism was one of the first styles to do this. You're not supposed to analyze or figure out deeper explanations of what it's supposed to tell. You're supposed to look at it and immediately feel what the artist wanted to express. It also doesn't have to be a pleasant feeling, just that you can observe something and it making you feel anything is an art form. If you come by something like that in a museum you should give it a little more time and instead of trying to understand what the picture shows, try to observe how it makes you feel when looking at it.

OPs piece is some form of abstract expressionsim. The craftsmanship can be analysed and we could talk about how the pattern is repeating but not perfectly, so it creates a sort of unrest. The blue background stands out from the red, so much that even if the red is smeared heavily on top, it's almost creating an illusion of the blue being on top. This also causes an unrested focus. This might not be pleasant, especially for someone with trypophoiba, but if you were to hang it on a wall, it would probably create a visually attractive vibration. Abstract art can often be used functionally like that to change the feeling of being in a room.

Is it good or is it bad? I don't know.. neither a phone screen or an art museum would be the right way to see this. It should be placed in a room that needs it for it to work best.

If you mean the crossing of the South Funen Archipelago between Germany and Denmark, it's a ferry currently.

A tunnel will open in 2029. Construction started recently.

Whoever is interested in buying old milk could easily make their own for cheap, but if they're in a hurry to get it, $1 is waaaay too cheap.

(I'm going to switch to euro units.) It probably costs more in rent and electricity to keep a jug of milk stored in the fridge for 5 years.

Let's say you rent a small cheap apartment with 50 sqm. for let's say 400€ monthly somewhere in a small rural European town. That'll be €24000 for five years. The fridge takes up 1 of the 50 sqm., so that's €480. Can a fridge contain 480 jugs of chocolate milk? Nuh uh.

A standard fridge could maybe hold 200 liters. The jug in the picture looks like half a gallon, or 2 liters, so it could hold 100 jugs. The rent alone would then be €4.8 to produce a five year old gallon of old chocolate milk and this idiot is selling it for $1. What a fool.

I recognise the waste in waiting time, but I also think we are still increasing productivity more than enough to make up for it.

Personally I solve it by multitasking harder. Whenever there is a waiting time for a download or other stuff I simply start doing something else. I'm not going to waste my life watching loading bars for a living.

I don't think increasing user-friendlyness is a good solution. It's pretty much what caused the issues to begin with. Every time Windows or the apps make something more user-friendly it always results in more buttons to click and more updates to keep up.

I also spend an unreasonable amount of time just rearranging the windows in comparison to back when apps had keyboard-only GUIs with functions layered in different pages or tabs. I obviously don't think that is a good solution today either, but it goes to show that the bloated operating system has a lot of the blame.

Say you want to do something simple like renaming a file, you'll need to open an app to show the folders and files and also 100 different functions that are of no use for the specific task, position and scroll it where it's visible, navigate by mouse or keyboard and then do whatever you wanted. My point is that just operating the operation system is something that requires 10s of seconds over and over again every day. There's a long way from thought to execution for the simplest task.

The good thing is that it enables a lot of people to do so without any training at all, so maybe that makes up for it in total.

The picture of the "Chinese 50 lane road" was an internet hoax. It wasn't a road. It is a toll gate, and it also only has 25 lanes.

The Katy freeway that OP posted has 26 lanes and is considered the "largest" road. The picture doesn't really show it that well, and I'm also not sure if the feeder roads ought to count. It "only" has 6 ordinary lanes in both directions but a lot of entryways, exits and other designated lanes.

According to Guinness Book of Records, the widest road is in Brazil and is 250 meters wide. However this is also just a technicality, because it is also a 6 lane road with a really really wide median strip.

Yeah, it looks like they forgot to take the sign-writing class. Everyone think they can write a sign until they try it. It's a simple skill, but it's not entirely without skill.

Anyway, the handwriting on the sign says "50% off select merchandise. Price will scan at register. Final sale."

Pst... Don't tell.. but, small kids, small problems. ;)

I'd rather change a hundred diapers and bootlefeed in the middle of night than having to worry about if they made it safe home after a night out.

No, man.. Appreciate the simplicity. Enjoy the sound of little feet walking little steps on the floor. It'll be gone before you realise that you need to spend even more time trying to find something on the TV that both you and your better half want to watch at the same time..

Kids are great.

Those are official abbreviations that can be found in a dictionary.

The ones OP posted aren't all official. TBH and SMH are official. IMO is internet slang.

There's not a lot of consensus on internet slang abbreviations in Danish. It was more common back in the texting days, when all girls would end their messages with an S for "smiling", SS for "smiling sweetly", or KKK for "hugs hugs and kisses".

How do I best view tabs from pages like ultimate guitar and others on a phone browser, so that the chords and lyrics match up? I know on pc they usually show up fine in notepad or with ASCII fixed sys font, but I can't quite figure out how to set it up for easy browsing on an android phone. I tried copying it to other apps but none of them have a fixed width font.

How do you do it?

Denmark - Saba - Sand (www.youtube.com)
submitted 4 months ago by bstix@feddit.dk to c/eurovision@feddit.de

Denmark just had the national entry contest today.

The winner was Saba with the song "Sand". Linked in the post.

The top three final also included the 2014 winner Basim with the song "Johnny" and Janus Wiberg from Faroe Islands with the song "I need your love". Both received more audience votes than the winner, but the jury votes had put Saba ahead from the start.

A local skatepark held an official opening inviting Rune Glifberg and Nicky Guerrero to do a demo. The weather was tricky, but in between rain they managed to pull off a few tricks in the deep end. I didn't get a good photo of Rune.

(The 100kb limit on pictures is horrible.)
