@Quirt-Evans said in Be careful what you say: And it’d be even worse to lie and say you don’t have an account, and then get caught. That was what I was thinking.

Push will come to shove and we will see if those associates will all take lower-paying positions. Some may, some will not.

@Bernard said in Happy World Piano Day!: But I can manage quite well right now without a cello teacher because I know what has to be done, but the climb is slow and steady. That's great! Also, my main focus is on piano right now. Also great! I heard this piece "Les larmes de Jacqueline" by Offenbach last month and went looking for the music. Just listened, what a gorgeous piece!!! Wow! I can see why you would want to play it! The best I could find was a transcription for harmonica and harp written in G clef, but I downloaded it and am in the process of writing it out in F clef and C clef (where necessary) because that's what I'm most comfortable reading for cello. A good exercise in vibrato. "transcription for harmonica" is not something I expected to exist!

He's been talking about this for a while now.... remember this from last summer: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Christians on Friday that if they vote for him this November, "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote." https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-tells-christians-they-wont-have-vote-after-this-election-2024-07-27/

Well, seeing as searching phones is now a thing, maybe it's just safer all the way around to not carry a phone.

Imagine it. 5 year olds in tiny chains scrubbing the floors in the Florida capitol building. The MAGTs rejoiced!

I feel bad for the guy but I feel worse for the people who will be going hungry.

@Piano-Dad I’m on BlueSky, too.

I’ve met with him several times. He doesn’t just oversee vaccines but all ‘biologics’ which include blood products, vaccines, and gene and rna therapies. He was really bullish on the next generation of gene therapy treatments. Even if vaccines weren’t part of his remit, this would be bad news for America. The main fear for society though is how Kennedy is likely to replace him with some antivaxx crank. I would imagine anti-vaxx and anti-genetic modification attitudes correlate. It’s going to be a cruel four years.

Yes. Surprisingly good acoustics.

Oh, I didn't think they were going to keep it online after the performance - cool!
