@George-K said in Gould sings and sometimes makes sense: Also, @horace, didn't you play the C-minor sonata? 11:00 Yep. My least successful recital performance. I didn't love the piece, didn't prepare too well, and the result was not much of musical value. I stopped playing for several years after. One of these days I'll tackle another beethoven sonata.

As somebody who has seen a rib broken doing chest compressions, I would say the bear needs to be a bit less vigorous.

Can't view the thread (that's on me, not you), but I wonder if there are any I haven't seen yet. Sometimes I see lists of the "craziest things caught on tape", you know... stunts, car crashes, near misses, and what not, but I always think... sometimes it's easy to forget that there is video of two Boeing 767s being flown into some of the tallest buildings in the world.

@jon-nyc said in Flame On: ICE wanted him but NYC refused. Isn't that ... illegal? Perhaps not, I don't know who has jurisdiction here.

Biggest pile of junk my daughter ever owned was an Equinox. Did y'all anoint that Terrain or maybe make a deal with the Devil?

I’m pretty sure that female boobies get more attention than males… As do female tits…

nice

@kluurs said in A bad week to fly.: Can you imagine having heard about the South Korean crash and then being being told you’re going to try and do something similar? After landing, h ad to the bar and ask for the bottle - carry it with you wherever you go I had that exact thought.

Oh, he also sucks at QB evaluation. As evidence, I present the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 1st Round QB Selection https://x.com/Steelersdepot/status/1873450983503900946

@Mik said in The way too early draft predictions.: Bengals still need D and O line strength. Badly. If we had Denver’s lines we’d be invincible. Nix had total protection on most every play. Burrow was under pressure the whole game. Welcome to Sean Payton World. There is a reason Jahri Evans is a HOF finalist this year. Brees was a very good QB, with a very good offensive line.

The guy who wrote the "adults in the room are controlling Trump, so don't worry, public who elected him" book. The book started as an anonymous op-ed in the NYT, then was published in book form. He eventually unmasked, and that's how I know the next steps in his remarkably remunerative story.

If someone had said ‘there will be two plane incidents this week, one will get shot down by Russian air defenses and the other will have to do a belly landing’ you’d never guess this would be the one with the most survivors.
