@joeljohnson @BoziTatarevic its a vac leak. even when its not a vac leak its a vac leak too. does anyone make an artifical vac system to maintain vac at the necessary points? would that work (and yes i had a bronco that to shift into 4x4 you had to press the vice grips on the vac actuated cylinder)

Terrific @TheAtlantic piece on archaeologists' and anthropologists' slowly dawning realization that now-submerged areas on the coastal shelf--swathes of land drowned when the glaciers melted--may be where much of our species' early history took place. (Link in reply)

@turingcop and the silly guru clothing was pretty absurd.

[Damian Chávez - Artist @DamianChavezArt]

With true Art Deco a building isnt built, then decorated.

The Deco-rative is the building logic made visible.

Because ALL design is essentially "architectural", the same law holds at every scale & with every material.

You extrude what the structure is already expressing.

You arent really "applying" anything as a pretty afterthought. You reveal what is already there with a craftsman's precise delight.

It's the unavoidable byproduct from:

1. A legible primary structure.
2. Subordinate articulating intended for its use.
3. Precise material transits.
4. Cultivated embellishment which emerges from & emphasizes 1 & 2 & 3.

The Deco builder's ethos: "We arent adding the decorative after we design & build, we are cultivating the emergent from its design - form becoming use, use receiving articulate transits, transits flower as embellishment."

Såhär på Edmund Fitzgeralddagen kan det tålas att påpeka att Superior, Wisconsin har sjukt coola pirer där tåg kan dumpa järnmalm i pelletform rakt ner i lastrummen på bulkfartyg.

[Spectra @spectraimsim]

made a level for everyone who has ever wanted to build a giant model train layout in the drawing room of the Hindenburg at sunset

[t.g. Shenoy @theBekku]

Any excuse is a good excuse to recommend this absolute masterpiece, VIRICONIUM by Booker Prize-winning author M. John Harrison. If you've read it, you know what I mean. If you haven't, boy!, are you in for a treat of a read...

[dipstitch @smonkey]

um.... @spectraimsim epic building alert

A striking example of Zigzag Art Deco, this compact building features a dramatic stepped silhouette rising towards a central tower.

[dipstitch @smonkey]

[Pe. Rogério António Vieira @RogerioCasanova]

este homem ter ganho o Booker, além de ser provavelmente a coisa mais engraçada que aconteceu na história do Booker, também produziu em mim uma sensação equivalente a se tivesse saído a lotaria de Natal ao meu tio preferido

[Pat Cadigan @Cadigan]

Overjoyed to hear that M. John Harrison won the Booker Prize!

[dipstitch @smonkey]
