I'm going to listen to some Prokofjew next week. This will be great. https://www.gasteig.de/veranstaltungen/muenchner-philharmoniker-prokofjew-schnittke-mozart/

@Horace True it doesn’t prove causality, but those other countries were much more flat than the US prior to the Great Recession. Our price inflation started matching theirs (as % of gdp) only after 2009-10

@Horace said in Gilmour on Beato: When title searches go bad. Ain't nothing jon's sister hasn't seen at least a dozen times.

I'm sorry to hear of soccer's imminent demise. RIP. I know a lot of people will miss it.

@jon-nyc Her GRU handlers have briefed her well. She comes with all her answers prepared.

I'm sure this is just a coincidence. [image: 1732225967040-img_0578.jpg]

He’ll be 16 in 9 months but by that time the nannies would be about to birth their own.

The shadows of the microphones make it look like his nipples are leaking.

@Tom-K said in Where you gonna sit?: I'd like to trade chord progressions with Taylor. Is that what they’re calling it these days?

Forget the Banana I'm saving my pennies to buy the Monet.

I have heard of something like that, but I think in Californai. Groups come in on legitimate visas and are here for a couple of months robbing and stealing.

Quite an interesting chart.

Nice.

@George-K said in Well, that's different.: @Doctor-Phibes said in Well, that's different.: I've tried watching JP, but he takes so freaking long to get to the point I inevitably lose interest. You're not the only one. I've said it before, but he'd make a great Doctor Who

Good luck with all that. Do these suits ever result in a satisfying result for the plaintiffs?

I did my liver-ups in the morning, don’t worry. 3 sets of 25. I knew it was going to be a big day.

@LuFins-Dad said in Dune Prophecy: @George-K said in Dune Prophecy: @89th also, I've read that this series on HBO explains why there are no real computers in Dune, why fighting is done with swords, and the reason shields are the way they are. Remember, the Harkonnens were the good guys at one time. @89th not only were the Harkonnens good guys once upon a time, but one of Paul’s distant ancestors was one of the worst threats humanity ever faced. Honestly I think I’m just intimidated by the size of the Duneiverse in terms of story.
