Purchased by Bernard Berenson for Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1869 and was displayed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston before its theft in 1990; it remains missing.
Unrelated, but I love the artwork in that museum. I’ve been to Boston 3 times now, and that’s remained a highlight of my trip. El Jaleo is one of my favorite works of art (and its so much better in person)
Same thing in Hawaii. Pigs running around, people living in shacks, on land worth 10s of millions. Not as much anymore, but its still there. I actually don’t agree with the person you replied to though, that’s more about human rights which should be universal and not a choice for how people live. Although I really like how both The Orville and Star Trek have explored this

Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

Not to mention those overpriced ebikes are still cheaper than a shitty or even moderate car. I spent $7k on my Stromer ebike, which at the time felt was high. But 25k miles of commuting later and counting, it’s already about half the cost of a car (using IRS reimbursement rate) and I’m still saving
It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him
Just a reminder that Lemmy is intended to not be addictive. Go out and enjoy your life. Lemmy will be here when you’re pooping or when you have downtime, you don’t need to be glued to it
