He lined up 10 blank canvasses and did a speed run painting the same cathedral, from the same angle, the only difference was the first one was sunrise and the last one was night time.

So he was just painting the same thing but in different light.

You need to look at the whole series, not just one.

Well, yeah it was 20 years later when he was really on top of his shit.

But the cathedral study is like an insight into how he actually saw light.

The Rouen Cathedral study paintings really show how amazing he was.

Wow. Iran raining missiles on Dubai, Doha and Bahrain.
Why?

Dubai Airport hit, Burj al Arab hit, the Palm hit. 3 of the biggest landmarks in Dubai can't be a mistake.

I have friends in Dubai who are understandably, absolutely terrified.

Dubai airport not opening anytime soon either.

Yep, I've got one too, it's amazing. I use mine a lot when installing systems. Never trust the labelling or terminations from the cable installers.

What I'd like for bluesky is to optionally see some of the posts from the people I follow's, followers and/ or the people they follow.

Pretty happy with this print of a battery cover for a vintage game. Fits like a dream!

When I was at school I literally pirated everything, but then when I started working I became a life long customer of a lot of those applications I'd previously pirated, so I don't feel bad about it.

Will be my morning work session soundtrack.

Amazing trip to Central/ Eastern Europe.

Prague, Bratislava, Kosice, Vienna.

Beautiful countryside, amazing food, warm and hospitable people, incredible history, medieval castles and a lot of snow!

Now back in Ibiza, sunny 18c.

Life is good!

The cold spot right down the center is annoying. They should have made a custom profile.

Stumbled into the coolest little shop in KoΕ‘ice, Slovakia.

Amongst other things, the guy had a working Edison cylinder player, manufactured 1896. Perfect working order.

That issue turned out to be a gaslighting campaign by a competitor.

They were busted hiring aged accounts to make those posts.

And yeah, of course any lifetime account will not outlast the company itself, need to use a bit of common sense there 🀣

Harmful chemicals found in dozens of popular headphones According to The Guardian, the TOX-Free Project tested 81 pairs of in-ear and over-ear headphones available from Shein, Temu, and retailers in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary,...

The problem is much more far reaching than just headphones.

Furniture, curtains, car seats, plane seats, anything that is flame retarded, is drenched in awful chemicals.

We are surrounded by this stuff daily.

Worrying about headphones is a bit pointless.

At the very least it usually means you exploited a bunch of people, probably totally legally.

This is why apprenticeships were good things.

It's how I learnt almost all of my skills.

I'm not a hiking kind of guy usually, but I just did a 10km hike in the snow with my FIL and BIL up one of the mountains in Slovakia, ending at a restaurant at a frozen lake where we drank hot wine and ate goulash.

What an amazing experience!

I'm guessing it can connect to the internet just fine. It's the WiFi it cannot connect to.

Understanding that those are two different connections is the beginning of solving your problem.

Cut 2 tennis balls in half, put half a ball under each foot, problem solved.

If you want to be fancy, buy black tennis balls.
