If you look at the lower portion of the full poster, church connections are discussed in a number of them. Look for "kirch" or "kirchl." From what I can tell from various sources I've read over the years, the evange

"loss" was inelegant wording. I meant "less profit." Note the text in parens.

An interesting bit of info was pointed out to me by an acquaintance in the restaurant industry. Small mom and pop places are losing staff because the big chains can afford to pay their workers more, since they can better afford the losses (

In the US, one would often put up a stone outbuilding around a spring in a hillside, to be a refrigerator. These were "spring houses."

Odd that they say quartets don't need eye contact. It's always been indispensable in my experience. But I'm very far from pro, so perhaps it's less of a thing for pros?

That is almost certainly the union's doing. Unions help push back against the downward pressure on wages from employers (who are passing on the downard pressure from investors and the public).

Huh. Wonder what the secret sauce is that apparently they can't release upstream. Open source FTW?
