    Don’t throw out the Yamaha yet! Now it automatically can play John Cage! Earlier this year, I was between that Roland FP-30x, and the Kawai ES120. I went with the Kawai if I recall because some reviews said the Roland action was heavier, you can YouTube comparisons and make your own judgment… I almost went with the Roland though. That’s all I did, watched YouTube comparisons, I never actually played anything in person before buying it because this is mainly for my daughter who is learning piano, although I am enjoying playing it too. Sorry if this is a ramble, im voice dictating. I think the Kawai is a few hundred dollars more, maybe 900? I’d say go Roland and spend any saved bucks on a quality stand that doesn’t rock. You are paying to get good action on a digital piano at that price range, why let the piano rock back-and-forth as well!

    If/when the classified footage is released it’ll be hard to excuse the action…I’m guessing.

    That makes just how many “greatest” con jobs he thinks there are out there deserving the superlative? Normally it is limited to one, but in Trump’s universe I guess there are a multitude.

    So a few notes so far through the process: The Good It’s been very simple. Paperwork took 3 minutes. I was told that they are typically more expensive than a dealer, but less than Carmax. I tried looking up similar miles and aged Genesis within 100 miles. I only found two less expensive. One was a 90 minute drive away and was a coupe version for $200 less, and the other was one of those shady shops that buy at auction and repair. CarMax, on the other hand, was about $2K more for similar cars. My mechanic told me this morning that while the inspection process isn’t full proof, he’s never seen a major issue, and the small stuff Carvana took care of easily… The Bad - I realized we had a commitment for my pickup time on Sunday, so I tried to shift it later in the afternoon. When I did that, all of the slots for the afternoon were already taken AND the system released my earlier reservation, making Monday my first option. I am trying to finagle a Sunday slot… While I’m not financing, I was surprised to see the rate offer. It was at 7.6. My credit score is top tier though it does have some usage issues with co-signing Luke’s loans. I read the bank they use is pretty high. I will definitely secure my own financing if buying something more expensive in the future. It looks like their extended warranty coverage through SilverRock has mixed reviews. At $80 per month, I might forego that…

    Oh this reminds me a bit too of that show Alone where contestants are dropped into a remote area of a forest and it's remarkable how fast they get lean and skinny when all they drink is water and all they eat is fish and maybe a rabbit or two.

    The silver lining is if the videos ever surface of D’Oh and his sheep friends he can laugh and call it a deep fake.

    @Axtremus said in I liked this quote: Ask the question the other way: can you think of marriages where the couples are "happy" and yet not viewed as "good" by third parties? The royals, the gays, the interracial, the interfaith, the old+rich marrying the young+beautiful, etc. If I wanted to play word games I'd be logged into Squaredle

    We're going back next Thanksgiving week, if there's another launch I hope it's during the day and I can get closer. At 20 miles away the sound took a good 1.5 minutes or so to reach me!

    He really should. Especially since he’s not sending his kid there but is still paying for it in real estate.
