Time to paint the house

Post by Long Run »

Trying to choose between Stanky Bean and Bank Butt.
At some point, we've all wondered about the incredibly strange names for paint colors. Research scientist and neural network goofball Janelle Shane took the wondering a step further. Shane decided to train a neural network to generate new paint colors, complete with appropriate names. The results are possibly the greatest work of artificial intelligence I've seen to date.

If this is an example of "artificial intelligence" in action, tell me again why I should embrace the move to autonomous cars.....

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Two weeks ago I had my house painted. It's Bunflow with white trim.

Paint is the reason I built a brick house; well, brick veneer and I didn’t lay the brick either I hired out that job. Sometimes it is worth the money to have someone else do the work.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

I thought it was to provide maximum protection against The Big Bad Wolf after you saw what happened to your neighbors who had built their houses out of sticks and straw.... 8-)

If I was worried about the big bad wolf or anyone else blowing down my house I would do something more than brick veneer. Brick veneer is better than straw, but it is not the protection that some think it is. A strong house would be steal frame with heavy gauge steal sheathing.

The way to deal with the wolf would be my 12 gauge, but Sue would drag me into court for violating the wolf’s right to eat people.

I'd go with Bank Butt. I think an entire house painted with Stanky Bean would quickly become a neighborhood curiosity.

The vinyl siding on my house (which I did myself) is closest to Sand Dan.
I call the color "Tan".
