In this case, it would be the Huey, Dewey, and Louie decimal system.

It's hurting my brain seeing that thunderstorm lightning trail going a different direction than the star trails, and trying to think about how the space station is moving one direction while the earth rotates another direction.

No one wants to hear your shitty Civic fart pops, Kyle.

I know, I was making a joke about ridiculous German compound words.
The exact same item is actually marketed in English as an "Eggshell Topper Cutter Remover."
FastWalkingShortGuy t1_j2blpgv wrote
That translates to "egg opener" in English.
The German way is not always the most efficient way, despite their reputation.

Reply to comment by DaveOJ12 in TIL that in the early 80s, Dr. Dre was a successful electro DJ with his group World Class Wreckin' Cru. Daft Punk mentions Dre in their song “Teachers,” about artists that influenced them by avec_serif
Everyone did in the 80s.
The 80s were just a car wreck of cringe.
Shit, even Dimebag Darrell was originally Diamond Darrell in the 80s.

That's fair.
I don't think this is uplifting, though.

Am I the only one who buttoned up and put my car in the garage for two days for this storm?
I'm disappointed in Buffalo.
You guys know better.
Erie isn't frozen.
That means lake effect.
Stay home.

Twain was a satirist.
I think he would have appreciated Sandler somewhat.

He had a couple of stinker movies, but if you go back to his 90s audio albums, the dude had some gold.
He didn't get famous for sucking.
Sandler gets too much hate, IMO.
He even had some decent dramatic moments in some of his movies.

No, yes, yes, yes.
Yes.
Minimalism is an art form in and of itself. I don't know who John Cage is. I think he was dope in Mortal Combat IIRC.

Accepted as an undergraduate in performance art at a couple of tier 1 universities.
Might know what I'm talking about.
But you probably know better than I do.

You brought it up, not me.
Ballet is an art.
But I'm a flat-footed short guy with the coordination of a diabetic llama on a good day.
Should I take ballet lessons in hope of mastering it?

Art is not skill based.
The skill is a byproduct of talent.
Those who can, do. Those who can't still try.

If they're advertising, they're not picking from a select group of people with talent.
Hard truth.

Technique is not composition.
A robot can have perfect technique.
Art requires soul.

Theory can be taught.
Art cannot.
