Will never understand why "Redditor" became the name for users when "Reders" (readers) follows the message of the site name so much better

Industry leaders are gonna pressure Trump over the tariffs until it's literally just consumer goods being stocked on shelves being taxed. Is this "the Art of the Deal"?

Seems pretty early to talk about questions being unanswered when it's just halfway through the second season

Every year I get a $100 gas card. Can't put a price on that

No, that's absolutely the case here too. DUI means "driving under the influence" of anything, not just alcohol. There are tons of perfectly fine prescriptions that a doctor might order you to take that you absolutely should not drive while taking.

I think the catch-22 comes with how necessary driving is to do literally anything in America, so many people have to choose between their health, their jobs/social life, and/or not endangering their lives and others' by driving on said prescriptions.

True, true. I just say 2012 because it's contemporary enough to still be relevant to modern politics and obviously followed Obama's disappointing 1st term, which had a huge grassroots, "we're gonna make some real changes" feel to it. But you're right that's it's been a while since we had a president/candidate even close to left of center

For people reading the title and trying to pronounce this like a 3 syllable French word, Wikipedia pronunciation says it like "Fok-sull", like "folk" minus the L and "sull" like sullied.

Last elections.

Since, like, 2012 at least.

More to this point, it comes down to who owns the company, meaning the shares. Fiduciary responsibility is a real thing and is responsible for some of the worst things going on in the world right now.

 

Why am I posting a 2 dimensional grid?

I'm not.

From Nendo:

The scatter shelf is composed of 5mm black acrylic shelves in a grid form, stacked in three layers and slightly displaced. The resulting shelving unit is not only structurally strong but creates a visual effect in which objects placed on the shelves appear as though caught in a spider’s web when viewed from the front. When viewed on an angle, the glossy acrylic face creates a series of reflections within the shelves, making the ‘opaque’ acrylic appear to be transparent. The diffused reflections caused by the surfaces’ shine and form also separates and scatters the view behind the shelving unit, creating a completely kaleidoscopic effect.

Gorgeous stuff.

 

Wow, wow, wow if this isn't beautiful. A perfect example of how tubular framing doesn't have to mean Bauhaus.

Photos stolen from Museo Della Sedia. Pay the original source some love because I'm worried that compression is going to ruin some of the beauty here.

 

Percival Lafer is quickly becoming one of my favorite modern designers. All his stuff looks so... not-European, for lack of a better word. No clue how it is south of the Equator, but there's very little discussion of him here. These chairs are one of many designs of his I've found reading through Percival Lafer: Design, indústria e mercado . Above pic is one I took with my phone so sorry if the quality is abhorrent. I haven't got a scanner here.

Selected:

CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION Tubular chrome-plated steel frame with plastic-coated gridded sheet for seat and back. Frame composed of a pair of straight stiles, curving back slightly at the top, and a single length of steel running from the foot of both legs, around the sides and back of the seat. The seat and back are each composed of a length of plastic-covered ("Soflex") grid (with rounded lines), arching slightly upward from side to side.

I love these things. Using plastic coated steel mesh as a flexible seat is so ingenious, especially in the late '70s.

As the title says, I'm looking for something I can use to access a cloud image folder from many devices. Something lightweight without much bloat and good privacy features and no ads with a decent storage limit (and that doesn't compress HD photos to hell)

Free is best but paid is okay too.

I feel like there's an obvious answer here but I've yet to find one.
