    @xenon Intrepid that you should mention the paradox of it all. The past several days I have been reluctant to mention it as I convinced it was just me who was struggling with the concept.

    There have been several marches here today as well as vigils in the Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches around town. I think there were vigils as well at the two Polish Catholic Churches in town. Ukrainian flags everywhere.

    @Horace said in It’s Friday night!: @Tom-K said in It’s Friday night!: @Horace said in It’s Friday night!: This sunday night I had steelhead fillets. I'm just about to have orange roughy which is a SLIMEHEAD!(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slimehead) Slimeheads, also known as roughies and redfish, are mostly small, exceptionally long-lived, So it lived through a couple world wars, only to expire at the end of your fork. Sad. Only for the fish.

    They opened one 7 minutes away about a year ago. Just got back from there. Bought a raspberry bush, a welcome mat, some soil and fertilizer, and sponges. As one does.

    @Rich said in Cheating the hangman.: I don't understand what the hold up was to begin with. He was convicted to beating and scalding to death a 6 year old. Also have trouble how anyone could be in a photograph with the shit head; smiling like she's at at a night out with the besties. Some women... https://x.com/TaraBull808/status/1893023117402087897

    Cost of install at point of manufacture is probably pretty reasonable, done well, and adds a nice feature that will hopefully resonate with modern piano buyers. Crossing my fingers they've worked to make it as open ended as possible. A lot of this proprietary nonsense piano makers have come up with is counter-productive to the industry long-term. (imho) There's a reason MIDI standard remained relevant for so long...even as "HD MIDI" languages with thousands vs 127 levels of expression have been around for so long.

    Sounds about right. Politician, not a cop. That's why it makes so much sense to appoint people with "no experience" to head up large agencies. The ones with the experience, are the de facto politicians. That's how they rose to the top, and got the resumes that show all that experience.

    Whatever someone is "terrified" of, that they think their political opposition will do, that's what they'll feel morally justified in doing themselves. It's a very elegant tell.

    However, in 2006, Congress radically overhauled the system by introducing the Grad PLUS loan program. For those keeping score at home, that would be during a GOP trifecta - W in the White House, GOP majorities in both houses of congress.

    @Mik What about others that live and work overseas? https://www.fvap.gov/uploads/FVAP/Reports/FVAP-VoterBrief_211105_v1a.pdf (As an FYI, Taiwan does not allow any overseas voting. Voting must be done in person at your home town. No absentee. No mail in)

    Maybe I’m being dense and over-simplifying, but I would have thought that Ukraine would only give mineral rights if they’re going to get tangible military aid (that they intend to use) in return. I guess what I’m hearing is that the mineral rights make it defacto US territory, and Russia won’t attack the US. I don’t know enough about the situation to comment on that.
