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.

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.

Yes, they’re abused and mixed up. Best writing practice is to avoid them, because these phrases can often be left out in the first place or at least written more clearly.

Good game or grin grin.

Having seen it, I have to say that it’s inspired by India.

It’s not a very good movie, but it has those scenes.

I’m pretty much opposite. I don’t even know why I carry this unknown mass around in my pockets. My keys are probably in there, otherwise the car wouldn’t start.

Mvh. exist and is used commonly in Danish. It’s considered old-fashioned. The modern version is just Vh.

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”.

Oh boy…I’ll bring you up to speed.

Seat belt regulations saved a lot of lives despite massive objections and many attempts from both drivers and manufacturers to work around the regulation. https://www.history.com/news/seat-belt-laws-resistance

Aluminium is fine for acidic beverages and it is possible to buy juice in a can, but that would be a single serving. Juice and milk make sense to buy in larger sizes for multiple servings. Plastic bottles are also an option for those, but it really depends on how they’re recycled locally if that makes more sense than the cartons.

The aluminium red solo cups ought to be recyclable just as any other aluminium product, provided that they’re returned in the first place and not mixed with other disposable garbage. Selling them as disposable seems counterproductive. A better option would be to use actual cups or glasses for picnics and bring them back home. Washing a cup in a dishwasher is much better than recycling aluminium.

It’s not easy for consumers to make a good choice.

I only played the original. I didn’t really like it at first, thinking that the augmentation and mod stuff was needlessly complicated for this kind of game. Also the graphics weren’t all that great in comparison to other games using the same engine. There were a lot of attention to details in comparison to other games so I gave it a chance. The turning point came after completing the first part of the story and getting hooked. The story really carried the game and touches on some interesting topics.

A game with a similar feel would be Omikron: The Nomad Soul. It was released the year before Deus Ex, has worse controls and graphics, but the story and setting is somewhat similar.

Technically they’re “downcyclable”. The materials can be separated and used for other purposes, but they’re not “cycled” back into being another tetrapak.

It’s also a very energy intensive procedure so even if it’s possible to use some of the materials again, it’s by no means as environmentally friendly as products that can be recycled for their purpose. Take for instance glass bottles and aluminium cans, they can both be recycled into glass bottles and aluminium cans.

Some places also reuse glass bottles by cleaning them. This also costs energy, but not as much as grinding it down and heating it to produce new glass.

Aluminium cans are probably the best single use beverage container as of now.

The best one is not to get one in the first place. Reduce, reuse, recycle, reclaim.

Tetrapak is in the “reclaim”.

Carrying a personal reusable water bottle is a good idea, because it reduces the production of singular use containers.

Looks like those are crisps and not chips.

Crisps could theoretically be made from fries, chips cannot.

In order to be a chip, it literally has be a “chip” of a potato.

Crisps can be made from anything.

No, dinosaurs can’t fly.

Flying 'saurs are “pterosaurs”
