    I had two for a while - a Yamaha U1-Silent Piano - and a regular grand piano. I sold the Yamaha when I didn't think I needed to worry about the disturbing a roommate, but then for the same reasons, I bought a digital piano where I can use headphones.

    Daniel said: It's dropped to 4.87 Oh the humanity It's risen to 4.88. I'm not making this up. I guess 5's will pull it back up. I remember only 3 problems in 10 years. 1 was the crazy driver who demanded I give him exact directions as if that weren't his job, couldn't find the drop off, demanded I get out in some strange, vast parking lot, miles from nowhere, I literally refused, he glanced up and found the location, and then started cursing at me, but that was a couple years ago. The other 2 were the gate issue. I'm hoping I get back to at least 4.9. 🤪

    I've read the posts, and I'm still having trouble thinking of a "big box store" as a meeting place, but I'm glad it works for you, @wtg

    Yes, that is a very odd electoral map to contemporary eyes.

    I’ve avoided them too, sort of. I bought a window AC over a decade ago that you could connect to WiFi and control with an app but I never did either. I’ve inherited a couple when I bought this house - a front combo lock I can program via my phone (I can set a temporary one-time code for a tradesman, for example). And I think my thermostat has such capabilities that I’ve never configured. My car has an app that allows me to remotely start it. I like that when it’s very hot or cold out. Really more when it’s very cold out.

    Thanks, Al! I have played most of the games on that list (and am familiar with all of them). Daybreak is one of our absolute favourites, and we have had Splendor for over a decade and still play it frequently!

    @Steve-Miller said: Politics in Ohio is a blood sport. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s a fairly recent development. I hope it is short lived. I’ve never seen it this bad and it reeks of Steve Bannon.
