A quotation from Richard Steele

Whenever you commend, add your reasons for doing so; it is this which distinguishes the approbation of a man of sense from the flattery of sycophants and admiration of fools.

Richard Steele (1672–1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
Essay (1713-04-08), The Guardian, No. 24

A quotation from Shakespeare

CASSIUS:           You gods, it doth amaze me
   A man of such a feeble temper should
   So get the start of the majestic world
   And bear the palm alone.

Všichni vědci se mýlí - jen “můj vědec” má pravdu!🧠 aneb jak se vyznat v záplavě expertů


V ideálním světě bychom měli naslouchat vědcům a odborníkům, kteří pracují podle vědeckých metod, ověřují své závěry a podléhají kritice kolegů. Jenže v realitě si každý může najít jednoho „odborníka“, který potvrzuje jeho názor – i kdyby to byl jediný člověk proti tisícům jiných vědců.

Tý vole, přes ty zásuvky mi to nestydatě chodí - vzhledem k úrovni elektroinstalace si stále myslím, že musí jít o omyl.
Ten chleba já už mám toho ze supermarketu plnou vyjímatelnou zubní náhradu. Já si představoval, že si pořídím elektropakárnu do cca 2k, ono to samo vykyne a uhněte těsto, upeče... Tak to v těch reklamách popisujou!

Ono to tak nějak taky jde. My jsme to jeden čas takhle pekli taky, pak jsme pec věnovali mladým a zase blbneme s něčím jiným. A střídáme to s pekárnou Srnín, která má obchod v CB kousek od ženy práce. Časem se propracuješ třeba ke kvásku, možností určitě najdeš spoustu. Budeme ti držet palce a slintat.

'Mouse Playground'


A group of mice are playing at a playground. Two mice are playing on the letter block structure, one is playing in the sandpit, another is running in the art supply installation at the entrance and a fourth is posing on a crayon prop. Cardboard boats are also floating in the pond and river, while blue sand counts for the soft material that kids run around in.

The letter block structure has light green sand in it, while the pond is of course surrounded by grass and has a lily pad in it.

This was sculpted in modeling clay and shot through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivtar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.
