Are we back to super bowl or bust? Feels like it’s more difficult to get back there the year after losing it.

My dad is the most stubborn and cheap man I have ever met.

None of these batteries are rechargeable, but my dad recharges them because "It works. That's what they say because they want you to keep buying batteries. I charge them and they last a month or more in the remote"

The flag of South Korea is called the “Taegeukgi” or Taiji Flag (Flag of the Supreme Ultimate). Official flag since 1948.

Painting every flag: China (#3)

The flag of the People’s Republic of China, AKA the Five-Star Red Flag (Wǔxīng Hóngqí), consists of a red flag with starts in the upper left corner, a big star and four smaller ones surrounding.

The red symbolizes the communist revolution + Chinese culture. The big star represents the CCP and the smaller stars are the four social classes

To create, I got flag proportions (Wikipedia is GOATED) of where each star was positioned, then sketched each star’s lines out. Then I mixed some yellow with some white to get the right color for the stars. Afterwards it was just painting the rest red (it did mess up the stars a bit cause I’m clumsy). Very fun!
