Love the comments: "Whilst my lute doth gently weep", circa 17th century, traditional This takes me back to a simpler time back 1422, we use to listen for hours in the parlor... “M’lord he has playethed the Tritone! Send him to the rack!”

Impressive! Congrats.

Still would have been able to tell you with utter certainty that such videos were a thing.

Who 'da man, WHO 'DA MAN!! Ax 'da man. AX 'DA MAN!!! Polyester it is, and don't any of the rest of you try to talk me out of it.

@LuFins-Dad said in It was inevitable....: @Aqua-Letifer said in It was inevitable....: @Horace gets it. I cast Magic Missile. With Empowered Spell. Motherfuckers. Sorry, but you really should have spent more time time reading your spell book and less time reading Elf Fragility. The spell backfires... Well now, you seem to be as despotic as my department head, except at work, all quests are pathetic and there's no experience to be gained, anywhere, ever.

Funny, earlier today I listened to Lisitsa play a Beethoven Sonata on the opposite end of the scale - Op 106

I will continue to consider an IFR which applies to all age groups as very close to meaningless.

That's the most awesome thing I will see this year.

@89th said in Robert E Lee: @Larry Good post. "Ax"

@Klaus Thanks!!

@Rainman said in Tonight's Dinner - It's springtime, right?: Klaus, sorry, that was insensitive. My! That looks good!! More courses upcoming. So nice to eat decent dinner without having to cook.

It's POC and/or URM now, man, get with it.

@taiwan_girl I'm not a sociologist, but I play one on TNCR, so I agree with your assessment and think both the analogy and the reason for it are accurate.

@89th said in FFS: This reminds me, @George-K if you watch The Shield (TV series), expect a little police brutality. Thanks for the trigger warning! I'll cuddle up with my blankie before I dive into it!

Ole asked Lena if she would try the Wheelbarrow position. She said "yes, but you've got to promise me two things: if I tell you it hurts you've got to stop, and you've got to promise not to drive me passed my momma's house..."

@Aqua-Letifer said in Northwestern transplants a woman who’s lungs were destroyed by Covid: @Horace said in Northwestern transplants a woman who’s lungs were destroyed by Covid: Which, by the way, does not speak to world class intellectual honesty and integrity. Just so you know. Not to get involved but I read that and thought that that would be a rather weird metric to use for internet boards generally, and definitely so for TNCR. Yes, it is a weird bar.

I remember her back in the day. She had a globe as her avatar. Sad news indeed. I hope she's holding up okay.

I don't think she has mental health issues. She's really a very nice lady, and she relies very much on her church for emotional and other support. We try and help with her gardening and what-not, but the church is giving her a lot of help. TBH, I don't know whether it was a preacher who told her this, or just somebody at the church. The church seems a little 'out there' by British standards, at least, but I think they're good people. I see her reaction in much the same way as I saw my dad's reaction to people coming to the door asking for donations. As he got older, he became less able to distinguish between genuine charities and the less genuine variety. I'd go as far as to say that genuine charities knocking on doors asking the very elderly for money gets pretty questionable, but that's another issue.
