This is not at all uncommon in the woodworking world. Most people use the treadmill's existing motor and speed controller, because they typically offer good belt speed and power output, a variable speed belt is highly desirable, and it greatly simplifies the build.
I've seen these in use. Where you can't modify the door frame, having nested doors where one swings inward and the other swings outward gives full control to the facility owner to maintain access.
I understand perspective in general, but I still can't get this to seem right in my mind. I think the key to understanding this, visually, is to pay attention to the way the valley sides appear flattened and compressed toward the subject. Looks like I have some research and review to do...
Yeah this has been an annual discussion over the last 20+ years that get shorter and shorter each time. There is no compromise. And each year, the number of real gifts goes down and gift cards tick up. I look forward to the season a lot less now. To me, it's not at all the religious tradition of "honoring" that's violated, but the interpersonal aspect of actually caring enough to put real thought and effort into gifting.
I don't get a vote. My spouse takes them down the next day, Boxing Day. Sometimes the eve of Christmas Day. It's so very annoying and depressing because my family's tradition was to keep them up until Epiphany/Three Kings Day. Taking them down early turns Christmas into less of the traditional "season" I grew up with, and more into a commercialized event that ends when the gifts (and increasingly these days, cash and gift cards) are distributed.
While I do like conservation and restoration efforts, I consider them neither critically vital nor excessively valuable. I like that paintings fade and flake. I like the temporary nature of objects. I like that no matter how hard we try, when we restore something, it becomes a changed object even if it appears to be the same thing. The painting of Jesus in a Spanish church that was damaged by an enthusiastic parishioner is a favorite of mine. Not because I think that anyone should be able to "restore" an artwork whenever they want. I think the lady who did that is a criminal and should face whatever local justice applies. But I like it anyway.
I don't remember where I've seen that photo before, but I do recall it definitely was the inspiration for some fantasies when I was a teenager. The pose is perfect for her physique.
Does anyone know where it was originally published?
Anyone who thinks a cap would remove the incentive for Wall Street bankers to stay with the company has absolutely no idea how many thousands of bankers there are around the nation who'd leap at the opportunity to earn that much.
That, combined with the fact that OTHER $400,000 jobs don't grow on trees in this economy would be PLENTY of incentive for any decent hardworking Wall Street bankers to stay.

I do admire the commitment to the theme. We all should be so focused.
It's just like how every stupid "zany" holiday comedy is promoted with the music of the Russian Dance from the Nutcracker.
The commentary is enough.

Smack your so-called "host" on the way out. ;)
