    @Copper said in The biggest tragedy in classical music history.: Sadder still, those masters who never composed a note. Somewhat related, but I have thought when I have in a super poor area - maybe there is a kid in the rural village in India who could find a cure for cancer but will never have the opportunity. Or, maybe there is another Schubert here.......

    @George-K said in Another Nope-Nope for George: @jon-nyc said in Another Nope-Nope for George: Hard no on the rock, hard yes on the girl. Are you familiar with that location? The rock, that is.... Yes, it's maybe 5 miles or so south of Ipanema. I was last there 18 months ago.

    Mr. Bernoulli and Mr. Newton are still with you and the Cessna. The wind is moving over the control surfaces creating lift and drag. That will give you control, but I suspect it would be kind of loose.

    Good looking always outsells bad looking. Now if the colleges figure out that smart beats stupid, things can start getting back on track.

    @89th said in The Gag Order: Imagine if BLM did it, your tone would change prettayyyyyyyyy quickly Imagine if in 2016 Obama had called the Secretary of State of PA, told him to "find 14000 votes" and threatened to prosecute him if he didn't.
