    @axtremus said in Biden approval drops - disillusionment: https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/putin-polls-higher-than-biden-among-trump-voters-114976837699 Putin polls higher than Biden among Trump voters. Hahaha. And the same poll says Democrats think Russia is a bigger problem than China! can you believe that? so lets look closely at ALL the poll findings. Of course MSNBC would stop looking as soon as they found their red herring. https://today.yougov.com/topics/international/articles-reports/2021/06/17/americans-see-china-biggest-threat-united-states-n

    No, I said that because Fulton County is a mess. Do your research.

    There are a few people who have done transcriptions for piano, e.g. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=464476528290116&external_log_id=d47440c7-0352-4d16-be64-7855dca372b0&q=vivaldi seasons piano

    @jon-nyc said in Vivaldi Recomposed: Yeah. I think it was Schumann that said “Did Vivaldi compose 200 violin concerti? Or did he compose one violin concerto 200 times?” Same has been said about Bruckner's symphonies. Astor Piazzola has done a take on the 4 Seasons as well. It's very much Piazzola (whom I love), with only a few allusions to Vivaldi, but it's fun nevertheless. Here's the version for piano trio. Link to video I saw Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg do this with the Madison Symphony about 12 years ago - she broke a string during her performance.

    I have no doubts that these exist. Look at what the The Israelis others have been able to do to Iran's nuclear capabilities.

    The team disbanded itself. The former members will go back to their regular jobs, but will lose the extra pay and responsibilities. The action now leaves the city without a specially trained riot unit, amidst a shrinking police department.

    @mark said in What is a "gaming" monitor, and do I want/need one?: I have a 39" Ultra-Wide Curved LG and a 49" Ultra-Wide Samsung G9 curved . I love both of them. Wow…cool! I would probably go with the 39”. Do you find you need a really strong graphics card to support it? Also, weird question but can you “set” windows to be a normal 1920x1080 or whatever to replicate a normal user’s monitor? For example if you’re doing website design.

    Revenue dropped almost 30% from its peak during boom economy years. Of course they were going to change. I think seeing women in next to nothing is no longer a surprise Victoria’s Secret can monetize. Why, because it’s everywhere now.
