In Germany it's "Dialogpost" or "Postwurf Spezial"

You could have made this loss, but didn't. I won't lie, I am somewhat disappointed.

I mostly agree, but saying nobody ever sculpted in marble is a bit like saying nobody ever painted with oil paint because most of the most well known oil paintings were done according to sketches made with charcoal or pencil.

The finished sculpture is made of marble, and thus it was sculpted in marble. Not at first perhaps, but eventually

Of course there are still sculptors around! Like most art sculptures have gotten more abstract tho. Visit any museum of modern Art and you are sure to find some!

Marble and the like are of course incredibly expensive, and for that reason most people stick to more affordable options like wood or ice. Or do additive sculpting with clay/plaster, welding or something like that. If you really want to work with stone you might want to apprentice with a stonemason.

How did I start? Took a pocketknife in my hand and started whittling. The foundations of working in a subtractive manner are largely independent of material.

Honestly, I want to be told, when they don't find micro plastics somewhere.

I'll give you the point on Antarctica, but using multiple different projections is somehow even worse imho

Except, that your picture shows the continents in the usual Mercator projection distorted way. This type of projection makes countries nearer to the poles look way larger than they actually are.

I don't think it's a direct reaction. I think it's much more likely that capsaicin induces stress and that messes with the heart.

I don't think they'll find any ethics there

A very good analog to all your car infrastructure then.

The last point is always funny to me, because cans are plastic bottles inside of aluminum bottles. There is less plastic at least, I guess.
