Just think of it as an abortion after birth.

@Mik The losers didn't start the riots....

@jon-nyc said in You have no one to blame but yourselves: Fucking Brits https://blog.duolingo.com/soccer-vs-football/ I thought everybody knew this. Well, not foreigners obviously.

I have tried several lights, I can't find one that works just right. I have 2 that look something like that, but they are kind of heavy and I can't quite get the light in a position where it shines on the page and is not in my face. When I move the gooseneck to a good position, it is extended so far from the page that it droops after a while. So I got this at Lowes: [image: 1669604259209-925dbfa6-5398-4a25-babb-7d64acd4f71e-image.png] https://www.lowes.com/pd/Homdec-LED-Desk-Lamp-with-On-Off-Switch-Study-Reading-Metal-Base-Table-Light/5013814579 It sits in front of and blocks part of the page, and the dots that you see on the lens of the light show up on the page - it is covered with dots. Your light looks like it has similar dots, do these show up on the sheet music? I'm starting to think that the right answer is a light that is wall or ceiling mounted.

Such a George Harrison move, though.

Watched the first two. Link to video High production values, and the actress who plays Wednesday is great. Zeta-Jones makes a short appearance in the 1st episode, then no more. Gomez is horribly miscast. Lurch is on for about 5 minutes. Picture a macabre version of a Hallmark Channel movie, and you'll get a sense of this show. It just tries too hard to be cute and nostalgic, while maintaining a smirking sense of discomfort. The best thing about the show is the CGI rendition of Thing. Haven't seen Fester. I'll give it one more, but it's probably...Nope.

Is been a great day. Browns and Bengals win, Ravens lose. To the Jaguars. BWAAHAHA!!!

Damn, I was rooting for Spain. I want our pathetic team to go home.

Mr Jones is at the helm of several large organizations. Head coach of his football team is a single position of leadership among many. Would anybody care to guess whether people of color are in fact represented among that class of leaders through his organizations?

I find the article kind of nonsensical. They start with the premise that population density would be far lower due to the inherent genetic makeup of the Neanderthal to stay in small family groups. Well, if that’s true then why are we even having this conversation? The Neanderthal never stood a chance at surviving because of that basic trait.

I wouldn’t be a landlord in NYC for love or money, but if I had to I’m sure I’d want to do the background check. I’m just curious how the ex-cons experience it. Is it a minor annoyance that some buildings won’t let them rent there? Or is it so ubiquitous that they basically have to live with a relative?

Yeah? That excuse doesn’t fly. This proves my contention that no matter how stupid something is, there’s someone, somewhere who will do it.

"They also noted features Musk plans to implement, including long-form tweets and encrypted DMs." There seems to be a rise in paranoia about the DMs being stored on Twitter. Up until now, they have not been encrypted, and, apparently, any enterprising and creative hacker might be able to see some unsavory and embarrassing comments.

@Friday said in I think our neighbor is going to call CPS on me…: Did Finley actually sing "just like a young girl should"? Once… Mostly he just ran around singing the first 2 lines.

I think both fingerings you describe are reasonable, George. I'd just choose the one that works better. However, I'd definitely change the last three notes (starting with the c#) to 321. It's odd to have the second finger on the b and then jump to the a flat. Also, you have 321 on the octave above, too.
