In an episode of Happy Days, The Fonz goes water skiing, encounters a shark, and jumps over it in the water skis. It marked a moment of dramatic decline in the show’s overall quality, and the term has been used since for any such point in time where something is identifiably worse after a specific event.
I’m partial to the 1960s. David Lean did Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Kubrick had Dr Strangelove and 2001. Hitchcock put out Psycho, Kurosawa did Yojimbo. Cool Hand Luke, Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy.
Cinema was really ambitious and huge in scope, and directors with an eye for photography were doing some incredible, slow, lingering shots.
Over the years visiting different museums and galleries I would grab a postcard from the shop of a piece I’d seen that day that spoke to me and frame it on my office wall. Ended up with a diverse little collection of art I enjoyed. Sometimes people would come in and see something they liked that they’d never heard about before and I could talk to them about it. It beat spending the time in spreadsheets.
I have no idea what that trailer was about, so that tracks with FromSoft, and I love them for it, and I will be playing this. Probably after another base game playthrough
This is actually a really good analysis of what makes a lot of these movies great!
Deserving. There’s a lot to be said about making way for new animation talent but Miyazaki put out one of his greatest movies with this one. It’s beautiful and moving and I had to pee the entire time I saw it and didn’t want to get up and miss anything
Howard makes a cutting board cleaner, oil, and butcher block conditioner. I use the latter every few months on our handmade boards and bowls and it keeps them well protected. The instructions on the bottle suffice for application.
If your pieces are particularly dry it might be a good idea to use the oil followed by the conditioner. I’m sure other mineral oil products would do a similar job but I’ve had good luck with this one and a bottle has lasted years.

This isn’t an unpopular opinion this is just something that you think that people don’t like.
It was an easy recent favorite of mine after a playthrough. The atmosphere is so well done. It got me to finally play Alan Wake and I’ll definitely pick up that sequel at some point too.

So, not much of a woodworker myself but it looks like the top is in three panels? You could use that as an opportunity for contrast as mentioned above and make the whole project look like it has some design intentionality.
Maybe a darker maple walnut veneer for that center panel as mentioned above and leather for the two smaller outer panels as mentioned elsewhere?
I remember seeing this at a theater screening of Oscar nominated animated shorts. I’d done no research and wasn’t expecting a Don Hertzfeldt entry. I loved it and it’s since become one of my favorite modern sci fi movies. An older woman in the lobby was complaining about it afterwards and I still think it’s funny how different pieces can speak to people in such wildly different ways.
Well I don’t want to get all controversial about it but the thing about India is it’s a country in South Asia with a land area of approximately 3.3 million square kilometers and a population of roughly 1.4 billion. And that might be a hot take, but also we have to keep in mind its primary exports are petroleum goods and textiles. Don’t even get me started on how its borders are the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Bay of Bengal.
This is why the DPH awareness campaign referenced in the article is so important. This is some predatory bullshit interfering with people’s healthcare. Ain’t always fun being in MA but this is leading by example.
