No, wait! Please do explain why you are going to bed.

Poor octopuses. They’re not a real danger to humans so we shouldn’t find them creepy or repulsive. Unfortunately for them, they look like a crossover between two things we evolved to stay away from: spiders and snakes.

Andreyi… You’ve lost another su-25arine?!

Hey, I think I’ve seen you before! Didn’t you play in the “look at all those chickens” movie? Love your work.

Was there a recent assault by Russia? Those vehicle and drone numbers are twice as big as usual, no?

The thing is, the situation is not that they’ll run out of tanks one certain day and then stop fielding them completely. What’ll happen (what’s already been happening actually) is that seeing the end of their stocks approaching they’ll taper out their use. That’s been happening for a year now: we’re seeing lower and lower tank losses in each of these reports because they’re simply not using them so much anymore. Because they don’t have as many and don’t want to risk what’s left.

When their old stocks are completely used up (for all practical purposes) we’ll only see new-build armor, in correspondingly low volume. They’re never going to not have tanks at all.

Since I didn’t know:

“Parasocial” refers to a relationship or connection felt by a person towards someone they do not know personally, typically a celebrity, character in a media, or public figure. This relationship is one-sided, meaning the other person is unaware of the connection.

If the F-35 was made solely out of aluminium, like an equal-mass paperweight, the price of the raw material would be about 0.013 million USD per aircraft. In reality it sells for about 80 million. I doubt it’s price will soar because of the cost of aluminum.

We just let them do it.

Once the tallest building in its neighborhood, now the shortest, looks like.

Yes, yes… have those citizens driven before you and hear the lamentations of their environmental activists!

Because it comes from “paths of desire”, I think. Sort of like “beauty mark” is not “beautifying mark”: because it comes from “mark of beauty”.

the modified missiles are now equipped with radar-decoy systems and use quasi-ballistic flight paths that make them more difficult to track and intercept using Patriot systems.

I hope my country stops participating in Eurovision. There’s no saving it.

Wait till they try Wagyu Minister!

Greenlanders could be eating their prime minister right now… There’s just no way to know!

Thank you for answering! And thank you for posting such a varied selection of art here so consistently!

Your answer was exactly what I was looking for, confirmation that I’m not missing something obvious.

After looking at it for a while, I’d say what this looks like to me is the view you’d get from a darkened doorway (or window) and seeing a glimpse of a sunset/sunrise over distant mountains. All covered up in an unconventional semi-pointillist technique (that apparently was pretty pervasive in her work, I’m learning) and lack of details.

That kind of scene would evoke a feeling of wanderlust mixed with either regret or anticipation (sunset/sunrise). But it’s all very vague and full of alternatives.

I think that the comparison of abstract art to classical art is sort of like comparing quantum physics to classical physics. Not in the difficulty rating though; classical art is incomparably more difficult to get right.

Whereas classical art & physics deal with crisp, clear representations that delight in trying to be as precise as they can be, abstract art, like the physics, describes fields of probabilities and multiple paths/interpretations that overlap and interplay. Abstract art doesn’t want us to admire a thing, but a hopefully cleverly crafted cloud of possible ‘things’ it could be suggesting at once using just a few vague strokes.

The viewer could collapse their own personal waveform on one interpretation but I think you’re right, we’re supposed to admire the fog, not try to see through it.

If anyone knows how to interpret this painting, what to see in it, please let me know because it simply looks like “huh…” to me.

I get the impression this is a video-only thing because you need multiple vantage points of the scene. You can still extract a single frame in the end of course (like the article itself does), but you’ll need to shift around meaningful distances, like attack submarines do with Target Motion Analysis.

That’s 25 attoseconds, no?.. If so, that’s impressive.

The power record holder right now is the Măgurele laser in Romania, at 10 PW, but it lasts a thousand times longer, at 25 femtoseconds I believe. I can’t find clear info on pulse duration anywhere. They do intend to decrease pulse durations it seems.
