Also, here's a streamlined shunter. Because it's 1950 and we live in the motherfucking future, why not streamline industrial machines intended to shunt hot metal cars around.
i love that so much

That is a great looking locomotive. I got curious and decided to do some research and while they only built 4, 3 survive and one is even still working actively as a shunter in Canada. Here is that unit:

They also made a little halfling version as a demonstrator unit, which nobody bought. And that prototype is also still around in good condition

It's a shame we don't feel the need/want to glorify everything these days. Why not take the extra step and make something beautiful for it's own sake?

Side effect of cost cutting. If you have 10 companies that made a good looking industrial product, and one company cuts costs by not focusing on style, then the rest will follow suit to remain competitive.

I miss art deco. The 50's and sixties was an amazing time for style. Occasionally I like to step back and really appreciate something from that time. Even simple things like lawnmowers were streamlined. It just takes so much love and care to turn something "ugly" into a piece of art, and have it be just as functional, and it's something we sorely miss nowadays what with all the minimalism. Modern cars however are the polar fucking opposite and just hideous, what with lines everywhere and mismatched flow of patterns.

Well i said it before, but the real difference between art deco and minimalism is what it's expressing. Art deco was all about glorifying and celibrating the object. Because in 1930, something as humdrum as an appliance, radiator or car was a profound technological achievement that everyone could remember fundamentally changing their way of life. The market rewarded it because the public opinion was "holy fuck this is amazing, we're doing good things." And i think that's what people find so appealing with art deco and it's intrinsic pride in whatever the hell that object is.

And i think that's what's missing today. Today's design is all about minimalism, because the novelty and genuine appreciation is gone. We want everything off in the corner where it belongs, and there's a distinct lack of pride and or appreciation for basically everything around us. And i know i've said this before, but i think we [I]should[/I] be proud of what we've done, we should be proud of modern society and we should damn well appreciate it for what it is, because maybe then we'd care to maintain it.

[B]RIP my peas, an end to spring for sure[/B]
The death of my peas are accelerating as we get further into the heat. I may grow more come this fall, but not in my garden as I need room for my onions which I'll be planting this Saturday (pictures will follow!)
[t]http://i.imgur.com/TaJ3zvk.jpg[/t]
Meanwhile, I began harvesting all the pods that I plucked

Some were dried out, these will be separated and used as seeds for next time
[t]http://i.imgur.com/dMswcR8.jpg[/t]
My mother thought it a good idea to put all the pods in a bowl of water, thinking it'll keep them fresh. Interestingly, those pods that had some holes in them and allowed the water to reach the peas made them sprout

Luckily, the vast majority are still fresh and good for eating. Most of these will probably be consumed over the course of this week, whatever is left will be dried out and be used for seeds this fall or next year

I went there right before / after JCPenney left. Didn't realize it was dead when I went and it isn't as cool as that one YouTube channel makes dead malls look. Maybe didn't help only one floor was open. Good to know it's here to stay and the nimbys have once again contributed to ruining the bay area. Gotta look at this stupid thing when I go to a hip Asian plaza nearby.

I did a research report for a French project once on Morocco. It supposedly takes many years of practice to be able to get the spices perfect like that. The most impressive part is that if someone buys some, they scoop some from the top.
[editline]29th June 2017[/editline]
I bet dumb tourists manage to knock them over all the time
Honestly I'm gonna believe it's glue onto a solid structure beneath until proven otherwise :v:
I just don't think that stuff is compatible with.. you know, wind.
So it's just powdered into a cone? No way spice has an angle of repose that steep. Cool to look at, though.
[editline]30th June 2017[/editline]
Skimming through Google it seems like there are some that look more naturally coned that you can scoop from, some that look like natural piles at varying heights, and some that look like fake perfect cones. I don't know what to believe now. Either way I love spice so it would get me into your shop.
it may be that its sprinkled and then compressed with a cone mold then sprinkled some more. because I saw a picture like this [t]http://i.imgur.com/CDb8uzY.jpg[/t] and it looks like u can just dig into them without them falling. other people on the internet say they are not actual piles, but there are cone molds underneath with the spices just sprinkled over it. idk what is the secret
