    I've started listening to the Audible version - and recommend that if you have an interest in the book, that you go for the audiobook version as he uses audio recordings of him playing the examples of pieces that he is discussing. He intersperses the life stories of himself and his parents along with lessons he has learned concerning music and piano performance. I'm only up to chapter 3 - so a ways to go - but so far - a fun listen.

    We got him. But again, we need not just skill but depth.

    There's still the draft, and your 2021 line has some depth level talent.

    @Horace Autmatic cameras are “no substitute for a real live officer”

    LMAO. They are apparently much better, and cheaper.

    I think the ratio should be similar between BA.1 and BA.2.

    The smart play is to participate in and vote for a political culture that will forgive all student debt and work towards erasing financial stratification of society altogether. Just a few more generations to go.

    I've been to a few pubs where they had a stabbing room.

    I've been to places where a guy called Grave Digger would stab you for using the word pub.....

    TNCR is slowly becoming rich from Copper's and my donations:

    Given inflation, maybe it's a better formulation to say that TNCR is becoming poor less quickly than average.

    OTOH, this legislation is little more than carbon virtue signaling, as the truck-idling environmental concern is not the 20-foot delivery trucks, but the long haul trailers that are parked on the roadsides and at truck stops that never turn off and idle 12-16 hours a day… They are idling for a different reason. That’s essentially that trucker’s home. Many have small sleeping compartments with refrigerators, tv’s, and such. That engine is powering their heat/ac, electricity for their fridge, TV, etc…

    The best answer for the problem is to get power stations set up at truck stops that truckers can plug into similar to RV’s at a camp sight. That would accomplish a hell of a lot more good and cost a lot less than building hundreds of thousands EV charging stations across the US…

    Shhh. You dont add that part. Like any good public relation team, you only keep in the parts that fit your story. Even if they are opposite of what is really happening.

    @Jolly said in America Was Wrong:

    But...If the guy had located the plant next to a major city sewage plant and he could get his sludge for free or maybe the sewer plant would pay him to take it, I think he could have broke even or made a profit, as long as oil was $65 (2015 dollars) a barrel or above.

    I know some people who have been involved with Diamond Green Diesel, which uses animal fat.

    I think their first plant was located next to a meat packing factory.

    Right now, they make about 500,000 barrel per year, pretty small by refinery sizes, but it is a start.

    that is a cool thing. Even if this directly does not work, somebody, somewhere, will take a piece of this idea and modify it and so on
