"Sort of reminds me of all those Ebony Water Fountains, Ebony Restrooms, Ebony Swimming Pools, and Ebony Lunch Counters we used to have."

On the other hand, Russia today lost its seat on the UNHCR: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67071697

There is a real concern about the demonstrations of support for Hamas that have been seen in the UK and elsewhere. I don't have a real feeling for how widespread that is, and how many people feel this way.

@89th said in Bach Cello Suites,Recomposed: @George-K wow great memory. Nah. I can't even remember a thread I started 4-5 days ago before I reposted it.

There are limits on insurance, very expensive treatments may not be fully covered.

Wow. So fast. That’s teamwork.

@kluurs believe it or not, I learned that when I was in my teens. I believe this was the arrangement. I've watched him play this at least a dozen times. I never understood that high-handed stuff at about 0:48. Also, why switch the trill from one hand to another, like at 0:43? Also, there was no glissando at the end.

@taiwan_girl said in I'm not saying it was aliens...: George, you punched yourself. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/26919/the-oldest-house?_=1696981407191 Cut me some slack. My memory ain't what it used to be, LOL.

We looked a little in New Braunfels. It's a nice area. There was nothing available in Canyon Lake, or we might have ended up there.

If you've never had one, the pie is pretty good.

Around the range of most people on death row in America for particularly gruesome crimes.

@Axtremus said in It ain't just what you're making...: @LuFins-Dad Los Angeles’ population is 145% that of Chicago’s, yet Los Angeles gets fewer job applications from new college graduates than Chicago does. Population size and number of job applications from new college graduates are not linearly correlated. Again! Brilliance in the simplicity! Hoisted on my own petard, so to speak. Calling out my univariate argument by utilizing a univariate fallacy! You are absolutely correct. My argument did not take into account areas that are shedding businesses, jobs, and population. Of course, we’ll ignore the fact that total job applications ≠ recent college grad applications… Still, I’m surprised there aren’t more recent grads applying for jobs in LA. You can get abortions there, after all. Cheap ones…Yet Austin getting a ton of applicants but you can’t get an abortion there. That’s very weird.

@Axtremus I think Uzbeks just want to leave their dismal semi totalitarian homeland and live somewhere as far away as possible from Tashkent. The arid southwest of the US reminds them of home.
