    Defying physics is not, IMO as a consumer, a great idea for residential architecture.

    @ShiroKuro Absolutely. We will never let a child be hungry, but we also aren’t policing what parents send with their kiddos to eat. So depending on lots of factors, including the fact that there is no grocery store in the town where I work, some kiddos are definitely eating way healthier than others.

    I would love to go and play those Faziolis! There’s one in campus, which I heard when I went to a concert last semester, it sounded amazing! That’s the first and only Fazioli I’ve heard in person.

    I may have said this before, but we all only 'know' the candidates through our choice of entertainment media. Therefore, when people that have worked closely with a candidate cross party lines to support a candidate from another party, THAT'S something that really grabs my attention. No matter what you think of Trump or Harris, listening to those that KNOW how Trump really operates should tip the scales - unless there are a bunch of those that have worked closely with Harris that are crossing lines to support Trump.... I haven't seen any evidence of that!

    A student at school had a mother who expatriated to Italy from Chicago to become a marble sculptress. She visited once and told me that Italian men are not very open minded about homosexuality. It's an anecdotal data point but she was a very beautiful, talented, and intelligent woman, and I bet there was some truth in what she said. Their Prime Minister is, of course, right wing, or very right wing. I don't know much about her. I know from the few years I spent researching the legal processes related to the murder of Meredith Kercher by Amanda Knox and others that civil society in Italy functions very well but that the country and especially certain parts of it are very corrupt. This corruption notoriously affects the political and judicial systems. So I'd say this story from what little I know about it doesn't come as a surprise.

    Jay Z feels threatened, threatened Piers with legal action resulting in editing, and Jaguar is (probably rightly) in fear of her life. I can't believe they let Sean Combs commit his crime spree for decades, and the fact they haven't taken down Jay Z yet is equally mysterious.

    @Rontuner Thanks. Did not consider safety requirements. Doubt China has the requirements.

    @Big_Al said in Are your eyeglasses trying to kill you?: @AdagioM said in Are your eyeglasses trying to kill you?: I could see clearly 4 inches in front of my nose, but no further. I miss that super-power. I was also very nearsighted before my cataract surgery and would resort to removing my glasses to see very small print or details at close distances. That trick doesn't work anymore with my vision corrected to near normal after surgery, but I still find myself trying to use it by reaching for nonexistent glasses. Big Al It was quite an adjustment getting used to having distance vision instead of closeup vision! Everything is backwards.
