The game is a lot of fun HOWEVER it is lacking a “procedurally generated free build” mode

Give up on money and you can use your time to sleep … which can make energy.

Worst case scenario you get some serious sleepies in

Unfortunately that’s how sovereignty works.

The US govt could sanction a country and prevent both if they wanted.

It would get challenged in court though def

Let’s discuss what the cart is telling you to not do … also sus

Looks like the chess game we had on our old “ibm compatible”

because it didn’t need it. Which was part of the calculus in choosing the material.

He chose not to lacquer it because it didn’t need it.

The army corp of engineers later looked into lacquering it and similarly decided “it doesn’t need it”

The sculptor petitioned them to plate it in gold cuz he didnt expect it to go full on green, but he KNEW it would patina and didn’t require it

Ok since you didn’t like my repeated answers, which are all using generally the same source of information (the sculptor himself) then maybe rather than rely on others to answer the question, not to your satisfaction, research it.

There are a number of books on it and the answer to your question is that the material was chosen because it was lightweight and cheap relative to the others.

You can easily assume since he chose not to lacquer it that he wanted it to patina, else he would have lacquered it. This is backed up by his belief that it would patina but not realizing it would go green.

He didn’t. He chose the copper for its material qualities, for practical reasons. The artistic choice was “practicality” and “whoops” was the color choice.

Given the wealth of information about why he chose the material and the lack of “he did it because of the color” it’s pretty easy to deduce that he chose the material for practicality, and history backs up copper was chosen because of practicality. The color was chosen by “whoops”

Given historians claim the material was chosen for practicality and you’re asking what his artistic vision was MAYBE it stands to reason “practicality” since that’s what history points at.

But sure, I’m talking past you.

Practically copper was chosen because it doesn’t need protecting, it’s lightweight and cheap. He didn’t expect it to turn green. He knew it would patina so didnt lacquer it.

Given the materials were being shipped across the Atlantic the design decision was “weight and cost” which is backed up by what he said.

It’s not buried in obscure books, it was (and is) actually quite easy to find this information, you just don’t like the answer provided.

It wasn’t lacquered because Bartholdi didn’t want it lacquered. He expected it to patina.

Now years later he changed his mind and petitioned the government to have it plated in gold.

Basically “cheap and shiny” and he didn’t know it would turn GREEN, just that it would patina and not need lacquering/protecting.

You don’t need to lacquer it, it petinas and protects the copper.

The material is was made of was chosen for practicality.

Yeah. It was cheaper AND significantly lighter to ship over than other things you’d make statues of that scale from (marble, bronze)

Copper is known to tarnish to a protective finish, so it doesn’t need a coating.

It was a smart choice

Copper was chosen cuz it was cheap and light

The US won definitely … even if it didn’t have to win to win, Canada … certainly didn’t lose but didn’t win but by not losing … won, the UK didn’t really care all that much given the whole Napoleon thing and just wanted to be done with it.

The only folks who truly lost were the First Nations, again … as usual.

Oh shit and Spain too, but they lost Florida out of it … and is that a loss?

No no no you misunderstand me friend, you’re clearly a prophet of the donkey brained god and I wish to follow

Hi I’d like to learn more about your savior donkey brains

you had one chance …

Skewed again when you learn there’s just one anti-Semitic guy who also really hates bicycles

ACKSHUALLY, dogs are den animals and are used to being confined in a den by their mother as pups, crate training a dog isn’t awful and a dog having a crate / den can be very beneficial.

Confining a dog permanently is awful, putting them in their den while “mom goes hunt is not.

You get my HPC job running on a single rack and I can show you a very big customer who would pay a LOT for that.

Anecdotes from first party sources are often unreliable when you’re talking about something with a grey area like “how it felt”

Why sample size matters, and raw data is very valuable in backing up first party sources.

Look up what native plants pollinators love, and what native food plants will grow.

Grow those.

I propose this as an alternate pingoo
