@kluurs where are you shopping/looking?

First stop is Pianoforte Chicago. I used to have a friend who worked there so I may have an in. They have an N1X in stock. None of the other folks currently have one available. I believe the Roland dealer is in Geneva. That's a bit of a hike, but they're a good dealer. The Casio GP510 is in Aurora. I hope to do some serious looking next week.

When the aliens come in search of the least interesting question ever posed, this thread will draw them right to us. I see that as an existential threat to our community.

Ok I lol'd.

Yep. There are a whole lot of conditions that occur with age and have not a thing to do with lifestyle.

I don’t know that it’s serious poetry, but a great expression of an idea.

He let the restrictions he chose always drive the writing, never the other way around. So, I'd consider it legit. It's not Virgil, but it's poetry.

Hmm. When I wrote this autocorrect changed know to Lenore. Poe-tic.

Interesting, but they have to leave a gap to turn the ties. Wonder what they do at the end.

I am sure the principled and virtuous entrepreneurs at the helm of Beyond Meat dealt with this issue ethically and transparently.

He aborted the shooter, but he saved lives.

If I had to guess, I'd say he seems pro-life to me.

Ukraine seems to be very adept strategically and tactically. Excellent at cutting Russian resupply routes.

Certainly wouldn’t be that aunt. Women are virtuous.

Looks terrific!

We drove down Tuesday. Traffic seemed pretty light most of the way.

Yep, lots of R&D in electricity generation using deep sea currents, tides, and of course, also waves. Good stuff.

I see it as an example of respect for both rights and responsibilities. Could use a bit of it here.

@George-K

Variable rates are great when interest rates are low and/or dropping. I was able to pay off the 25 year amortized mortgage on my current house in 11 years thanks in part to holding a fixed payment variable rate mortgage. The bulk of my monthly payments went against the principal because interest rates were steadily falling during the years I was making payments.

Just for the record mortgages on principal residences in Canada are not tax deductable. Nor are municipal property taxes for that matter.

Is that a 4 D chess board on the shelf behind him?

Also breakfast at Camino’s, incredible bake and coffee shop. Lunch at Bobby Boy’s, a French patisserie. Also fantastic.

All baked goods here would make Paula Deen proud.

Sounds awesome. You're definitely making the most out of the trip!

And another miracle! The Vikings beat the NE Patriots!

Yup!

Bird came out looking very good.
