    Definitely overpriced. Same piano but with a gloss finish. [image: 100420186-632076242_large.webp] https://www.klaviano.com/pianos-for-sale/brod-jorgensen/used-brodr-jorgensen-424241.html

    @ShiroKuro said: What I really want is to meet people locally who play, hopefully being connected to the art shop will help. We’ve lived in this town for almost three years now, so we’d like to start making more connections beyond work! The NY piano party group started by people blasting a message out on PW asking who is in the NY area that would be interested in getting together. Maybe you could try that? You already have Dewey and Mik within a two hour drive and me and Ax who often get on airplanes for piano parties…

    @Rontuner I just finished practicing it. It’s super easy. You should try it! It’s quite melancholy though. @chas you could whip up a recording and submit before you go on vacay?

    Here’s what I’m listening to: Stephan Moccio, pianist. https://www.stephanmoccio.com/releases-archive/vol-4/ I’m obsessed with this piece: https://m. Link to video and plan to play it, but I have to clear out (e.g., polish) a few other pieces in my practice queue before I can start it.

    It's one way of drawing a line of some sort after Hamas murdered 3 Brits and 11 Americans along with another 1300. We can't punish everyone who participated, but the leaders of such a massacre ought not escape. What now? I can't imagine anything good happening soon.

    @Bernard Yes, I guess they would be. I doubt that Comey is actually going to apply. I think he's just pointing out the unintended consequences and needling Trump about the lawfare he is exercising against Comey Cohen falls in the camp with the rioters, at least theoretically. Lawfare by the Biden administration against him. And I'm guessing he's more desperate for money, which I doubt Comey is. I've never thought of him as someone acting on principle. I would be totally surprised if Powell applied for compensation. as a matter of fact, I doubt he would ever even make any comments about the compensation fund, and certainly not while he's still a Fed governor.

    I beg to differ. The law per se legitimately regulates contracts. If you start with the assumption one party is following the law in a contract and the other party isn't you're really not describing justice. I don't care that a 3 day eviction notice happens to be convenient for landlords. You could make the notice 0 days in theory.

    @Daniel said: China and Iran are allies. I don't see the two as having much in common, other than that they both see the USA as some sort of opponent.
