I just think the whole Peace prize has become a joke. It has been way over-used as an instrument to affect certain political changes - always in the same direction - and not as a recognition for actual accomplishements. The sad climax of this development was probably when they gave it to Obama.

TuCa on AIWhat happened to that guy? There was a time when he was somewhat reasonable, at least sometimes.
Does he believe his own shit? Or is he motivated by something else?

Apple News…I went all in and also purchased a pair of the new Air Pod Pro 3 earbuds. The active noise cancellation is next level good. Starting to warm back up to the Apple infrastructure. Working for a Apple Premiere Partner is 100% to blame. lol

Apple News…I just purchased my first Apple Watch. The Ultra 3 in black with the titanium band. I made a watch face using my photograph of M42. It will make a kaleidoscope of any image and it animates it too.
Also have some high end watch faces like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Tag Heuer, Breitling.

Piano upgrade time@NobodySock said in Piano upgrade time:
I have possible good news in that I’ve taken on a new piano teacher. She’s an Armenian lady about my age. Who’s a former concert pianist and is very good friends with Sergei Babayan who still has played the best recital I have witnessed. When she heard I was selling my pet rod, her eyes grew and she says she wants to buy it for her son. Petrof is a well known brand in Eastern Europe. I asked her last lesson what the predominant brand was on the floor for performances in the countries of East Europe, asking if Steinway was ubiquitous over there as well and she said that the number one brand that appears over there is Bluthner
Those would probably be old pre 1989 Blüthner's from the time when it was part of the GDR.
