@culturaltutor The more I learn about the Bauhaus school of thought, the more I find it detestable. To view ornamentation as waste, as superfluous, is either heartless or soulless, likely both. Bring back art deco & nouveau, and classical design.

Adults getting mad that a kid’s movie was made for kids is turning into a pet peeve for me.

MoistCr1TiKaL shares his thoughts on the new Super Mario movie "Overall, I think it’s worse than the first one..huge step backwards..basically jingling keys, the movie..no substance at all..a mess in everything except for its visuals..and the music..but as a film, it is not very good..formula..here's something and that something is solved in the next 3 minutes..a movie that is all designed to just have u point at the screen going, oh I recognize that" "Story flows like it's actually a child playing with action figures and making up a story as they go along..solely for children or fans of the property"

They didn’t used to be ‘kids movies,’ they were ‘family movies,’ often works of art with messages, story lines, and jokes that everyone enjoyed. Now ‘kids’ movies are visual equivalent to seed-oil filled candy, only good to keep the little gremlins entertained for a bit.

@Cody_Is_Boring Very cool. Will the shared concrete flooring be something to mitigate as well, or is the transfer through it negligible?

Double 2x4 walls with a 1” air gap between them. This helps reduce noise traveling through the walls as vibrations won’t transfer from one wall to another. Also gives more room for insulation.

I've been enamored with tiny structures for a long time, since before I built the tiny house we lived in after I got out of the Army. They can be built quickly and easily by one person, they can super cheap or even almost free depending on what you're using for materials, and in a lot of places you don't need any kind of permit or anything. You're basically just building a playhouse, or a shed. If you have a yard or a bit of land (or a trailer, in our case), you're good to go. They're not feasible for a lot of people or for long term lifestyle, obviously, (by themselves). But they can be incorporated into an organically growing family compound very easily, and that can really move the needle with the false sense of constriction, i.e. if you're going to have a large family you NEED a large house. Not necessarily. Consider starting in a small house, but instead of selling and switching to a big one, just start gradually moving more functions out peripherally as you need to. I used to have an office in the house, but we needed another inside bedroom, but so now I added a workshop across the garden. The older boys have a cabin on the other side they live in. We have one bathroom in our old farmhouse; we're a family of twelve. So we added a composting toilet outhouse and a solar shower. You can often realistically expand your footprint if you need to, without having to totally renovate or rebuild your house or move to a much bigger one. It's easier to modify your rhythms of life as you're growing organically than it is to radically change your setting (especially in the current housing market).

With regard to DIY building your own micro-Shire family compound, it was common practice in the past to build separate kitchen outbuildings away from the main house. These "summer kitchens" kept it from getting too hot in the dwelling back when all the cooking was done with fire.

@AHomelyHouse So glad we have electric stoves now so we don’t have to live like these peasants and their… absolutely beautiful, whimsical outdoor kitchens. 😭

Alternatively, a family compound micro-Shire of individual cottages and covered outdoor spaces for daily living and working.

Wisdom teeth and foreskin removal are two of the most evil procedures that have been completely normalized There’s much more to it then what is on the surface, they are highly invasive and borderline mutilation

@HVNYrefugee Many great clips and scenes, but as a whole just abominable. Practically makes the mohammadens out to be sympathetic, honorable foes. Retarded.

Apollo 11 used the Unified S-Band transponder, which transmitted microwaves along the s-band range to a series of receivers in the U.S., Spain, and Australia. They transmitted both video and audio as well as telemetry and bio data on the astronauts.

@bendellwerry I always wondered what that little circle was for, makes perfect sense. I bet that was the most delicious, perfectly salted popcorn ever.

Want to know what Christian nationalism is? It's being ruled by theocrats like Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers: "If you belittle Christ in the halls of power and blaspheme Him by not ascribing to Him glory and authority over the governments that rest upon His shoulders, the scepter you grasp will become the rod that breaks you. Kiss the Son or face the beating." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…
