    That was cool.

    Reading about the Wankel, it seems like it was plagued with all kinds of problems (seals, pollution, inefficient fuel use, etc) which, ultimately, made it non-sustainable despite the clever engineering. Wikipedia talks about using hydrogen (!) as a fuel which is faster burning than gasoline and producing no emissions.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              I’ve always thought so.

              Nice little piece she played, too!

              (seriously, great articulation)

                Those repeated notes. Damn.

                The piece sounds more like Liszt than like Schumann.

                  You’re in the ballpark. It’s a Tausig transcription.

                    I felt pure hatred only. I'd have loved to take her Louboutin stilettos and ramm them into her head.

                      The Schumann/Tausig reminds me of this gem of a transcription by Rachmaninoff:

                                    I can see you or Klaus or Jon building one of those mechanisms like seen at the end. LOL

                                        @Axtremus I am sure you have visit there before, right? It has been a few years, but I have always been impressed with teh airport.

                                          @taiwan_girl, the “Jewel” of ChangYi airport opened in April 2019, after my last visit to that airport, so I have not seen it for real yet. But even without the “Jewel,” the ChangYi airport was impressive enough as it was.
