There's a drum store in Memphis with a special acoustic room for trying out cymbals. You go into the store, tell them what you are looking for and the sales staff will select three from hundreds (or maybe thousands) of cymbals they have in stock. They'll bring them to you wearing white gloves and your choice of sticks. I'm not sure why. Most drummers are stone deaf.

If banks and loan companies can't make money, they won't make the loans. It's been a long time since I did a 90-day note, but it was understood going in, that interest rates are higher on short duration loans, even for people with good credit. Add in bad credit...

The DBS worked pretty well for five or six years, then it seemed like the effectiveness tailed off a lot.

Nah, Harsanyi’s critique of the KFF study is garbage. Take this paragraph from Harsanyi: Twenty percent of those adults equals nearly 52 million people. There were more than 40,000 gun deaths in 2022, and around 20,000 of them were homicides — a slight dip from a Covid-year historic high that followed decades of lows. So, according to Kaiser’s polling, every victim of gun violence in the past few years had hundreds, if not thousands, of “family members.” Harsanyi argues with the number of gun deaths for one year while the KFF survey asked respondents whether they have a family member who died due to gun violence in their lifetimes.
