I'm sure there are some great examples in Tel Aviv, but there's lots of that style in LA. Not surprising though because there's like every style.

I intentionally looked for a pretty modest example of Craftsman and not The Gamble House. And I'd definitely prefer the real 1908 or w/e version to a new house in that style.

Yuv living in a Bauhaus wonderland is going to cause this derail to meld with the LC thread derail from earlier today and implode the entire forum.

And that's a bad thing?

Lol you're sticking to that story? After I bolded you pushing the babe in the woods angle?

No, you thought it was an opportunity to get Dvaut back for not being nicer to you earlier today. It's ok, normal even.

zikzak,

BTW, I'm planning on building a shipping container based home sometime maybe soon. I don't know if you hate that. There's a point to it though as it'll be built in LA and moved to Santa Fe and then used as a guest house after we build an adobe house.

That's the plan anyway.

Not for me personally, but for my wife's uncle.

I def did found it a nice opportunity for a small jab, not sure what your revelation here was. I don't think I matter enough to anyone in this forum to "get dvaut back". Just poking some fun at what I considered bad posting in this particular issue. I don't even doubt that dvaut is the king of all politics posters.

I also did not know Aspie was a word. In case it's not clear by my aforementioned broken english, it is not my first language. I had to google the babe in the woods phrase too. unsure what your big plan here. I'll take a lie detector test for any amount of money you want (with a certain min bet obv), but it seems weird that i have to prove my ignorance.

I would like to talk about Josef Hartwig's 1924 Bauhaus chess set now, and contrast it with Lanier Graham's derivative yet clearly superior 1967 set.

Hartwig:


Graham:

i have not read the ***** fight but keep in mind

1. sarah palin does not actually make her own tweets

2. she is either being paid by that site or has a direct financial interest it. there is no way she has just decided to randomly start tweeting all of their stupid **** because she thinks it is really important. She is in this **** for the $$$$.

3. whether she is really a racist or just a con artist is a pointless distinction. her actions are what counts. and what you should be worrying about it how well that **** sells. she could be selling all kinds of **** from her twitter account. make up, hunting equipment. that she thinks she can make more money pimping youngcons is ****ing terrifying.

I don't hate it, I just think it's something that's not going to be very practical from either a cost or comfort standpoint. If you want to do super basic, no frills housing, that already exists. They're called mobile homes.

If you want to do something fun and interesting by repurposing objects, that's cool. But a lot of people have already been down that same path, and it's going to be an expensive and frustrating journey that most likely won't deliver what you're hoping for.

Seems like a bit of a pita to try to keep those giant Graham pieces inside their squares.

I don't know about small jab, it's obv the best you could do, it's not like you're holding back a haymaker for the right moment.

It's the latter. I wonder if he'd be up for something really crazy like this:

lol wtf is that

A repurposed object.

how do i surrender? srsly. that sentence doesn't have any meaning. I didn't claim to have a haymaker, writing 'small jab' doesn't imply i can do better. like, your control of the language is questionable at best and you still won in a landslide. you are a phenomenal bolder, no doubt.

Don't worry, you proved it. (Ok, I'm done with him, sorry, couldn't help it, back to airport hangers turned mobile homes.)

lol im setting up the jokes specifically for him and he still actually flat outs write them (and does it poorly).

are you seriously under the impression you won this exchange? i am toying with you man. you are so impressively over your head here man.

Lol Like the house you posted was much better.

I deserve it for posting the Palin tweet and starting the 14 words derail.

Why did you use exactly 14 words in this post? Please stop the Nazi dog-whistling.

Philistine! Penis!

When have I ever played it straight?

They have doubts. From the alt-right website, TPM:

Did Sarah Palin Really Reference White Supremecy on Twitter (probably not)

Quote:

Asked about the headline in an email, Todd Gutnick of the Anti-Defamation League seemed to agree that it wasn’t a reference to white supremacy. “We don’t believe she meant those 14 words,” he said, referring to Palin. “Not a story here.”

Read Riddle’s email to the Daily Beast, which Riddle forwarded to TPM, below:

Hi Andrew,

Your article about Young Conservatives recently came to our attention.
It contains malicious and false claims. For this reason, please immediately remove the article and publish a written apology on Daily Beast.
This is the 14-word quote the social media post is referencing: “Let us all fight like the Poles. For family, freedom, for country, for God.”
About 2 minutes of research would have revealed how there is a long history of our site (and countless others) using word counts in social media headlines. To jump to the conclusion in your article is slanderous, dishonest, lazy, and very unprofessional and harmful to our business.
If you intend not to fully redact the article, can you please provide us the mailing address for you and DailyBeast. Our lawyers will contact you individually in regards to our intent to sue. If the article is unpublished and an apology issued, we will not demand compensation for damages.

Good enough for ant-defamation league and TPM good enough for me.
