Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't appear to be CalDAV-compatible. If so, xkcd-927 strikes again :-(

I use Edlys Music Theory for Practical People with my students. Don't discount the ability to fast-track your progress with a good teacher, too.

That's the "Jacob Collier Thing" though. Consider that he's doing 'complicated' reharms, but with significantly more emphasis on microtonality. For the average listener, it's not so much that he's &q

As a semi-professional jazz nerd, he's absolutely "got it" in the majority of tracks he records. "Right now", his appeal is to folks who understand all of the tricks in modern contemporary harmony, and his payoff i

You're making a (large, most likely incorrect) assumption that 25% of a given town is made up of ra(p|c)ists. I suspect if you got down to it, you'd find it's most like 1% or less in the 'bad' areas, and the major

That is a fair counterexample that I didn't consider. I don't know why you're getting downvoted to oblivion on it. Thanks for making your point!

I suspect it's a flaw in how humans (of certain political persuasions) rationalize "how we got here". They think "Well, the old place was OK except for this very small bit that pushed me over the edge into 'move el

Nope, California has been the poster-child for Big Government for _decades_. Each year the State regularly spawns off several tens of thousands of folks who have 'had enough', who migrate to Small(er)-Government states, and then

Count me in this rarified group as well. Never did get the point of 'sportsball' myself.

Got a link? Depending on price, I wouldn't mind having a full-body scan of me when I'm healthy, to compare for when I'm older/infirmer/less-healthy later in life.

Thank you for the clarification/education. As an American, I was not aware of the points you brought up (handgun ownership being legal, being allowed to defend one's self with a preemptive strike, etc). If you have time, could I

The criminal doesn't fear the policeman, nor does he fear the courts or the jails. The only effective method has been to make the criminal fear his intended victim, and the UK does just about everything in it's power to disarm the

Late 30s, father, just not "urban". The best layout I've seen was in Amsterdam - every neighborhood had it's own local pub, local coffeehouse, and small grocery, all eminently walkable/bikeable. Neighbors knew each

It's literally not zoned for it. Change the zoning laws to at least allow for a local pub or coffee shop in the middle of a residential area, that would be a positive step in the right direction IMHO.

Depending on where you're located, it might be worth checking out Langlitz Leather in Portland, OR. I have two of their jackets, my girlfriend has one, and I have friends who have them as well. They are absolutely "buy once, cry

Interesting. I suppose I'm one of the few holdouts who still love leather clothing (motorcycle jackets, you weirdos ;-)) and accessories (I have multiple Saddleback Leather bags, wallets, etc). I don't see those items getting ch

I could never get into her work, personally. I was forced to read 'Beloved' in high school, and found it dense, poorly written, and just unpleasant to read. I know she's won a ton of awards, so it's probably just me.

Then I'd say it's on Nintendo to make their connector proprietary so it is _obviously_ not interchangeable with a standard-shaped cable.

Eh, "heavily frowned upon" in certain small (but incredibly vocal) urban pockets along the US coastline, sure. The rest of the nation... not so much.

Gitlab, IMHO, is the gold-standard for self-hosted Git data, CI/CD, Issue-tracking, etc (IMHO, at least). You can use their (US-based, IIRC) hosted solution, or download their Omnibus package and get a self-hosted instance running in
