Alone on the shore in the pause of the night-time, I stand and I hear the long wind blow light, I view the constellations quietly, quietly burning; I hear the wave fall in the hush of the night

Long after I am dead, ended this bitter journey, Many another whose heart holds no light, Shall your solemn sweetness, hush, awe, and comfort, O my companions, Wind, Waters, Stars, and Night.

Fellow pianist here who also feels like sometimes too much emphasis is placed on score reading!

One interesting counterpoint that was brought up to me by my teacher in uni was that for certain pieces, mainly old old ones (think way before recording), is that sometimes the score is the _only_ thing that we have left from the composer to base our interpretation on!

I hadn't really considered this before, and it did make me appreciate score reading more (altho I still mostly improvise these days :D)

This sounds good on first pass, but consider the implication of allowing donations (and thus, payment method information) to be tied to a Signal users account. I specifically _wouldn't_ want this.

If I may ask, where did you get the chance to try this, and how was it prepared?

I just read this on wikipedia:

> If the meat is eaten without pretreatment, the ingested TMAO is metabolized into trimethylamine, which can produce effects similar to extreme drunkenness

Might be crazy to think, but the thought crossed my mind if the meat was ever ingested, untreated, for recreational purposes.

> but wow do we sure know that they're dumb hicks who deserve to die

I didn't see that sentiment expressed in the article, or by the majority of comments here.

> One of those mail-in ballot batches had 130,000+ votes, all of one candidate.

This is not true. Please provide a source, or stop spreading disinformation.

I don't see a disclaimer?

Then you are realistically fine

Even in a case similar to mine, visiting takeout.google.com before doing anything with billing is always a great idea :)

Do you pay them or any of their subsidiaries for anything?

I have cell service on Google Fi. Long, painful (still-ongoing) story short, they shipped me a Pixel 4a that had no cell service. I went back and forth with support for ten days. Then they shipped me a replacement phone. I confirmed my current address. They sent me a shipping notification for my current address. FedEx ended up delivering the package, no signature required, to a town I used to live in five years ago. I double checked and my current address is the only one on the account.

Going back and forth with support has been useless. I paid for a phone that doesn't work, and I'm being charged for service that I can't use. My last recourse is to refute the payments with my CC company....but that also seems like the quickest way to get my entire Google/YT/Google Fi account locked up because it's all tied together.
