    @doctor-phibes said in Effective: @copper said in Effective: No right-thinking person would accept a treatment touted by Mr. Trump. Well, he pushed the development of the vaccines, and plenty of his own folks are refusing to take those. Mr. Trump controls the behavior of most people in this country, but not all. Mr. Fauci controls a small minority.

    This is why so many urban areas no longer have local shopping. DC is known for not being able to support stores like this.

    @jolly said in The Wuhan documents: Fauci lied. Senators Cotton and Paul were right. I wonder if anyone has thought to stop this funding yet.

    The officers face termination “because they’ve either not received the jab or would refuse to hand over their private medical data,” according to a report cited by Fox News on Tuesday. Doesn't Roe v Wade say medical data is private? That should cover it.

    With good reason. A little surprised Barrett did not do better with you guys, but he doesn't seem to do very well anywhere. Have a feeling it's more personality than skill but I don't know.

    @mik said in Baltimore?: Not For Long. Yeah, Bell's day has come and gone. Honestly, the Bengals could use Murray too, but he likely wants too much money. We have to have a good running game to protect Burrow. Murray is a North/South guy, runs very upright, but does have power and can do pretty well if you can get him a yard past the line of scrimmage. But guys...Anything past 30 is oooollldd for a running back.

    The guy is actually wrong on a few details...For instance, I have a 2011 GMC with the 4.8 engine. It does not have the cylinder deactivation. So double check stuff he says, as sometimes it is more engine or transmission dependent than year dependent. But he's dead on about the Ford V8's, the new GM V8's and the Dodge V6 motors. GM is sooo bad, that a factory option is to delete the active cylinder deactivation on a new truck. Before, guys would buy them, deactivate them and voluntarily void the warranty. If I had a dollar for every person that has wanted to buy my truck (including my mechanic), we'd all go have a three martini lunch...

    @axtremus said in A well regulated: Had my piano voiced a month or two ago. My piano had great regulations (if not objectively great, at least it was at a spot where I liked it very much), so I did not ask for regulations to be done. But the technician claimed that he touched up on the regulations anyway. I know he meant well, but I wish he had not, for afterwards I noticed unwanted mechanical sounds from the action in some places. Not noticeable in louder passages and noticeable in soft passages. :man-shrugging: Why would you bother having it regulated when you never tune it?

    [image: 1631077475481-198ef583-ce0c-4881-8adf-2b6465538526.png] It’s there because that’s what I the composer wrote in the original. From wiki In chorales by Johann Sebastian Bach and other composers of the Baroque, the fermata often signifies only the end of a phrase, and a breath is to be taken. In a few organ compositions, the fermatas occur in different measures for the right and left hands and for the feet, which would make holding them impractical. "In the older music the sign for the fermata is used, as frequently by Bach, merely as indicating the end of the piece, after a Da Capo, when modern composers usually write the word 'fine.' It does not then imply any pause in the music between the first and second part of the number."

    @doctor-phibes said in Good pay...: Far be it from me to be cynical, but "up to" is one of those terms that gets used a lot by hiring folks when talking about money. Yup, and retail stores too. “Up to 90% off!”

    @jolly said in Want to know why you want to get vaccinated?: @aqua-letifer said in Want to know why you want to get vaccinated?: @jolly said in Want to know why you want to get vaccinated?: I don't think they're getting vaccinated in secret. That's grist for the MSM bullshit mill. Pffft. Two old neighbors of mine are still touting the anti-vaxx crap on Facebook after they've been vaccinated. Still putting up a front so their conservative friends don't give them shit for being sheeple or whatever the hell. This shit is happening. You need better neighbors. Well, when I said old neighbors, I meant from my home area. I'm not on the Face spaces, but my folks told me this and how it made meetups a bit awkward.

    I taught all 3 daughters how to change a flat tire before I would let them drive. Just sayin. I still had to rescue one because she was on I-90 when her first flat happened, and she was in panic mode.

    I love it when people have strong opinions about something and try to project those opinions onto another, unrelated situation.
