My answer would be no to pretty much anything more than 30 years old. There's always an exception, in my case a 1920 Bosendorfer upright, totally refurbished which in 2002 had just sold for £22k. However the original parts you could count on the fingers of one hand... ornate case, iron frame, soundboard, keys and pedals. So it played like new, and cost the same as new; they let me play it, a richness of sound in a beautiful wood case.

I love hazelnuts, and I know people love Nutella, but I've always found it to be way too sweet. I made homemade Nutella when the kid was little. It was SO DELICIOUS. And of course I could lower the sugar content. Highly recommend.

Btw, this is my latest real estate find. It's been for sale for 3 days. I've saved the listing. My sister-in-law and I are making a spreadsheet. Well, actually, she's making a spreadsheet. I'm only giving her data. Of course, it's too early to tell if this will be a viable possibility. I especially like the floors. They are all either stone or hardwood. Laundry hook-ups. 3rd floor. Elevator. Concrete block on concrete slab, c. 1972. 2205 Belleair Rd Apt A35, Clearwater, FL 33764 [Updated 4/23] https://share.google/WoavJjXFVHkC2lWez I could easily live here. I doubt it will happen but we'll see.

Florida migration boom fades as rising costs push residents out - Axios Tampa Bay https://share.google/nYXcRq7rCyLT5tyts Real estate prices here according to one source (don't remember where I heard it), are projected to change 0.0% in 2006, after years of climbing prices. This isn't what I'm observing in my area. I'm seeing prices decline in real time. Moreover, buyers are getting discounts off of asking. The renovated place I wanted in my area of the city was listed for 99k. It sold for 89k. People aren't buying. The economy is getting worse for various reasons. Energy when factored into inflation will make it still worse. People don't have the income. They don't have the savings. They aren't optimistic about the economy. Everyone seems to agree that many people will lose their homes, and unlike in 2008, this time it will be institutional investors and cash buyers who will be able to afford to buy. I mean I think the situation in general is a mess.

It's all Greek to me.

@Daniel Actually, I don't think it's all dumb. I think calling it intelligence is dumb, and insulting to mankind. But the problem is the way AI is being developed and enveloping society by a handful of tech corporations, some of whom are showing clear signs of fascism. Congress should do its duty and put the brakes on AI until a clear understanding of its damaging effects is better understood. What negative side effects will AI bring? What danger will it pose to the safety of citizens? How can it be controlled by other than the profit seeking sector? The power in this country belongs to the people, not corporations who will do anything for power and money.

Ron, I don't, actually. I used to have Spectrum in my name. My roommate paid the account, ran up the bill, and they shut it off (and sent a bill in my name to a collection agency). That was a long time ago. I'll make a note of your suggestion. Thanks. Mik, I had no idea. Thanks.

Good article!

It is a great photo!

How can anyone do that at 91?!

Well, assuming they made no scientific mistake, and a living thing lived for 24,000 years, or came back to life after being frozen for 24,000 year... is this meant to be about the idea that deceased human beings might be frozen (they are being frozen) and brought back to life in the future? I've always thought this idea was macabre, and I do not believe it is possible or will ever be possible. Imo, these matters or only decided by God (or by the Universe, if you like).

Interesting. I don't think we've been told the full truth about Fukushima, btw. I don't think we ever will be told the full truth about it.

Thanks. I received a notification in writing when I checked my scroll down notifications. It gave me the option to unsubscribe and to report spam. I did both. I also when through specific app notification permissions in my setting and turned off the ones I didn't want. So, in fairness to FB, it has nothing to do with FB. Ok.

Yes, it's an old university. I've actually been there. A lot of impressive scholarship happens there. The renaissance of authentic instruments, performance techniques, and textual analysis of composers' texts in classical music happened there. I, personally, far prefer Cambridge, for many reasons I won't bore you with, though. Again, I'm reminded how young the US is as a nation state. Impressive architecture is ubiquitous in the UK. Love it.
