    If everyone had self adjusting clocks, like mr-moneybags-jon ,with his apparently less than fifteen year old car, we could adjust the clocks thirty seconds a day.

    The market has seen fit to reward SpaceX with a ridiculously high share price, it’s only rational that SpaceX uses it to buy other assets.

    I found out my dead Amana washer has about 15 electronic parts that can fail AND all of its electronic parts are proprietary. It's a $650 retail machine with a market price of $450. It would cost $200- $300 to fix it. I will have it removed from my house, from where it sits, taken to an appliance graveyard. Nevermind the exigencies nvolved. I don't care. And one with WiFi? When hell freezes over.

    I wonder what the polls are showing. Yeah, I know I could Google AI it. I also wonder how much money Israel put into this one (not to be blunt). I also wonder if the outcome will be legitimate. He's an extraordinary candidate. She's no longer a candidate, nor even a Democrat, but she seems like she's on hallucinogenic drugs.

    @RealPlayer said: too clean, sterile side. Yep, I think that's what I'm hearing and of course @adagiom 's comments. @AdagioM said: It would be interesting to ask your uni tuner if he tunes the Fazioli. I know that he doesn't any more, because he is fully retired, but I don't know if he used to. I also don't know how long they've had the Fazioli, but for some reason I think it's somewhat recent. Anyway, I'll ask the next time he's here. @rontuner are you semi-retired now or still keeping a full schedule? (my memory is semi-retired?) How many pianos do you think you see, or used to see, a month?

    @bernard You wrote- "Once-in-a-while I'll get a McDonald's 2 cheeseburger meal but not for the quality of the food, for nostalgic reasons. Fond memories attached to my first visit to a McDonald's when I was in high school." That's my favorite too and you've just made me realize why I still eat it (although I'm swearing it off). It's comfort food for me. Except its current engineered version is having the opposite effect on my body. It makes me physically uncomfortable and even sick. Well how many time do you have to touch a hot burner to know it will burn you? I think I've finally reached my limit. I'll achieve 50g protein today- I got up, couldn't focus on eating, went to my appointment, got home, stated making protein drinks. I've made the 3rd one with 10g this time. I have to take a break. I can't drink it now. I ate a variety of food yesterday. Today had to concentrate on protein.

Then three autumn months in Japan. And three winter months in Penang I've pretty much finished the house and can plan my retirement properly

    Im sure its up to 4%. In other words if you put aside some number 4% or less of your salary, they’ll match it dollar for dollar.

    Especially with the strength of the stuff now. I recently shared a joint with someone. It reminded me of why I haven't done that for 40+ years. It was not the fun silly little buzz it was in my youth, but felt more disassociative like PCP or something. I cannot imagine it helps anyone with any sort of brain or nervous function.

    Was visiting the Porsche museum and learnt about this piece of pre-1900 EV history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egger-Lohner_C.2_Phaeton The Egger-Lohner C.2 Phaeton, erroneously called Porsche P1, is an electric vehicle built by Egger-Lohner. … It is powered by the "octagon" electric motor, that Ferdinand Porsche designed, which took its name from the eight-sided design of the motor housing. The electric motor can produce an output of 3 hp (2.2 kW) at 350 rpm and, for short periods of time, up to 5 hp (3.7 kW) with a top speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) by overcharging it. … On September 28, 1899, Porsche drove a C.2 that was entered in the Berlin road race, where it won the gold medal and crossed the finish line 18 minutes before the second car. It also came out on top in the efficiency test, where it was recorded as the lowest energy consumption vehicle in urban traffic.

    @wtg Yes, ours are tracked too, from when they send them, to when they receive them, to when they count them. I really appreciate it. I think you have to opt in for notifications, and we do. and then you get this! [image: IMG_3317.jpeg]
