Was reminded of Picasso’s pet owl from the recent Jennifer Ackerman podcast I shared with you, so I found some biography quotes about the owl and what a great pet it was(n’t)!...
I’m honestly suprised Guernica is the most famous. I just asked all of my friends (all Spanish) and got a good mix of Goya, Velázquez and El Greco. Maybe Picasso is known more outside of Spain than it is to Spaniards?
In case you’re out of the loop, the old Steam Deck had Philips screws that screwed into self-tapping plastic holes. This lead to occasional stripped threads and often stripped screwheads....
Funnuly enough I remember somw guy on that r website taught his clownfish to go into anemones by fixing an to the tank an ipad with videos on that exact thing
Francisco Josè De Goya y Lucientes was a Spanish romantics painter and printmaker and was considered one of the most important Spanish artists of the late 18th and early 19th century. The Witches’ Sabbath is 1 of 14 paintings known as the black paintings, the most famouse of which is known as “Saturn devouring his son”,...
Goya’s Pinturas Negras are some of the most interesting paintings ever. Their story is even cooler. Saturno devorando a su hijo is probably one of my favorite paintings of all time.
Also, not that it really matters a whole ton, but Goya’s name was Francisco José, not Francisco Josè. There is no grave accent in Spanish, only the acute accent.
I don’t think porn is necessarily unhealthy by itself. I can see how a youn teen can get a messed up world view from it, but any well-functioning adult shouldn’t be succeptible. As with literally everything, moderation and self-control is key.
Funnily enough, in Spain we call the crackers/wafers/whatevertheyare Hostias, and hostias is one of our catch-all terms for yelling “Jesus!” in shock or bewilderment
Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?...
Similar things happen to me. All of my devices are in Spanish in addition to 24hr, so anything automated is sent in Spanish to my non speaking colleagues

So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It’s mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It’s as if I’m...

Another fun one is thr AltGR key, known as right alt on US ANSI keyboards. On European ISO boards, it functions as another modifier lile shift or control
I really like Florisboard, but the largest difference between that and Openboard is that Florisboard doesn’t have spellcheck. I leave my keyboard in permanent Spanish, which I use for English as well as there is only one letter difference between the alphabets
I just started playing COD Black Ops Cold War because I got it through my PlayStation Plus subscription and wanted to try it out.
