I like Louis a lot. He’s won a major or two but has OFTEN been in the top 3 if not runner up many times…rooting for him among a few others!

@horace said in Pass the popcorn!: I'm a little surprised CRT is well defined enough to even be discussed. it's not. I often make the point that we should 'taboo' (as in the game) the word 'CRT' and discuss component ideas.

I do. BLM, baby!

@george-k I kinda just went off it. That was probably assisted by my recognizing how ghastly it was nutritionally.

I’ve got to buy a car before we go back in September. Somebody suggested a Chevy Bolt today. I think I’ll pass.

@jolly said in For the military history buffs: I knew there was a reason the South lost the Late War of Northern Aggression! Capitalism vs feudalism. The outcome was never in doubt.

@mik said in A Nuclear Japan: Japan's brutal invasion of China. That might be part of it. I've mentioned that my former partner was stationed in Hawaii in the mid-1970s. He said he never encountered a more racist people than the Japanese.

Here's an interview with Tiffany. She, to my ear, is accent-less. I think it was an affection for the song. Link to video

@brenda said in 5 years ago tonight: Wow. Five years already. Our Jon will chart new territory for his own version of a long hauler, living an extraordinary number of years post transplant. Congrats, Jon! Here's to many more years. here here!

That's Tom Waits alright.

So, the deaths haven't followed, but that could be just the usual lag. Would be interesting when the mortality and hospitalization rates get broken down by age group and whether the people were vaccinated and which vaccine was used. That may be key in persuading certain groups to become vaccinated. BTW, did anybody see where Eisen is battling COVID? He was fully vaccinated a few months ago...

Buncha Coquand bull, if you ask me.

They have a doctor in the family. Doctors make good money.

@jon-nyc I see. No pun intended.

"I am greatly sorry for the impact my actions caused (Hall) and his family," Hays said, the St. Louis Dispatch reports. "I am a good person, but I made a mistake." He sure did - he picked on somebody that the court would believe more than him.

@axtremus said in Long piano: Re: the Alexander piano, have to listen to the Liszt Funerailles recording to hear the bass. To my ears, the “attack” in the bass is muddy but the tone is clear. Probably wouldn’t want to play fast moving bass passages on that piano but would most likely work great as long pedal points. :man-shrugging: Judging from the recording, the piano sounded OK - I thought it had a slightly "synthesizer"-like quality to it in the middle and upper register - but I couldn't hear anything special about the bass. Actually, I'd say the bass sounds deeper on a standard Steinway concert grand. But maybe that is merely due to the recording or the equipment I use for playback.
