    "The Ides of March"... "On September 23, 2021, The Ides Of March celebrated over 57 years together, and their return to touring after the COVID-19 pandemic, with a concert at The Potawatomi Hotel and Casino in Milwaukee, WI. With well over 4,000 gigs together since 1964, and being a musical organization that has always included the original four members, The Ides Of March have been called "The Longest Touring Original Band In Musical History"."

    @lufins-dad said in Could we get any more surreal?: Why isn't he cancelled yet? Because that was 8 years ago, and times have changed, amirite? Time to MoveOn.

    RC Airplane Wing End Caps in white. 3 hour print job. Decided to have the top half in blue and the bottom half in white. Just another visual clue to help see when the airplane is inverted. Click the link! https://oe.ink/l/PCvTr8MIDU

    Any theories on how he produces that sound? I think one aspect of it is that he has an extreme form of "leggiero" non-legato touch, where he scratches the keys more than pressing them.

    @axtremus The code for the old plugin is here but it is way more complicated and works in a different way. Rather than merely hiding the text, the old plugin doesn't even transmit the hidden text from the server to the browser until the "show" button is clicked (async i/o).

    @mark said in The Middle: @klaus Pianos are just overpriced. If they'd be so overpriced, piano companies wouldn't declare bankruptcies like all over in the last decades. They are simply very complicated instruments, and making them is hence very expensive.

    @jolly yup. I've read that this is, to a great extent, the work of Andrew and Fredo. They're known to hold grudges. It's the Chicago way.

    Yeah, that's beyond weird. A less obvious way would be to raise prices 10%, but that might cost business. Probably would. But yeah, I'd call and ask. Also, I wonder if that surcharge was disclosed on the menu, like a surcharge for large parties.
