    a seasoned piano teacher will tell you that anyone can learn some tunes, but also that most people have natural limits on their learning that prevent them from being as good as the masters What kind of racist still uses the word master?

    I don't think she was forgotten, I think she was used. Primarily by the physician who did her abortion. Secondly, as brought up in the article, there's more to this backstory than what we have heard.

    @taiwan_girl said in It Wasn't Perfect: And the melt point of ANSI 310 Stainless steel is ......... 5555 Get used to it. Election integrity is one of my favoritist subjects. I hail from a state where dead politicians have to be screwed into the ground. Where a former governor once admitted he was a thief, but he stole for the people of the state. Where another former governor once bragged he could take a rubber band with a few paperclips and make a voting machine play Dixie. Where I know that a pair of rubber boots bought a man's vote...and his wife's. Where "walking around money" is common during elections in any big city. I think lust for power is ubiquitous in man and ethics are not.

    @taiwan_girl said in Rise & Fall of the double-wide.: That is a interesting article. At least for me, my stereotype for a mobile home (not for camping) in the US is somebody who is very poor and does not take care of it very well. I am not sure I have ever seen a mobile home outside of the US Yes, the stereotype. My best friend has crews traveling the country installing infrastructure projects for water and sewage in the manufactured housing industry. Manufactured housing communities range from what you describe all the way up to very nice, gated, HOA communities, with security, golf courses, fitness centers, gathering places, activity centers, parks, and some of the nicest looking homes you will find anywhere with people that do take care of their stuff. Florida and Arizona and even places like Louisville, MO have a lot of these communities. Some of the communities are occupant owned. They are all partners in the ownership and management of their community. So, yes the stereotype exists and it exists for a good reason. In the past they have always been vilified as "less than" a site built house and they were by a large margin. They are always featured on the news when a Tornado rips through a community. You never hear, A site built house community was destroyed by a tornado" on the news, yet it actually happens with much more frequency. The manufactured housing industry is still struggling with the reputation of the past. Modern manufactured housing has evolved over the years and is a range of techniques to build the actual building. Some are 90% assembled at the factory, and some are shipped in sections while others are only shipping the pre-made walls complete with wiring, plumbing and insulation, some just bare walls that are finished on site. I have seen some manufactured homes, and this was 25+ years ago, that were so nice looking from the exterior with very well appointed interiors, that you would never have known, they were manufactured homes.

    I believe that she is tying it off or pinning it off in the back. I dont think that the clothes would fit her "out of the box" like that. Definitely some tailoring she is doing.

    That was quite interesting. Has anybody here ever read the book? I have obviously heard of it but never have read it.

    Correlation is not causation, but do ya think that the plummeting arrest rate might have something to do as to why crime is rising? [image: 1658236602916-screen-shot-2022-07-19-at-8.16.18-am.png]

    @Catseye3 said in Sesame Street gets woked: @89th Then we know who's responsible, yes? And it makes no sense to blame the providers of the clicks when all they're doing is throwing the meat into the cage. Presuming there are no ethics remaining in journalism corporate media outlets, yes it's just a profit game.
