typhoons, #6 and 7: Neither of them is particularly bad, just storms. #6 is the one chasing the scouts home from the jamboree fiasco in korea--not quite there yet but these often push or hold warm air in front of them, so as you may have read, it's hot there (here, too). #6 also has an unusual track. It was moving so slow around okinawa--hovering more than moving--trying to find its sense of self and direction. That #7 was spinning up probably bounced it back on a northerly track towards korea = pinball game. (4 and 5 went over/past taiwan, and later caused some heavy rain in north china.) #7 could continue and hit squarely, but the trend is to turn right. It's not strong, and we're on the other side, but some rain would be great at this point.

I'm fine with classicals, it's steel string slot heads that I would avoid.

the Carpenters... my wife will like this one.
There's a typhoon out there, #6. Not sure what your news is calling it. Kind of an odd, slow path, with a strong zig and then zag, and now, it now appears to be heading straight north (korea).
And there's another low out there that will likely develop into the next storm (#7), tho given all probable paths, not a worry.

... And borders in that part of Europe are an arbitrary fiction at the best. ... Darn tootin' -- "54 40 or fight!" To save anyone some googling. I grew up in the midwest, and had never heard of this till much later: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_boundary_disputeImagine if BC was some kind of US state (South Alaska?), and that Alaska was part of the contiguous US. Talk about arbitrary fictions...!

This is fun--you can move the ball (click, hold, drag) and then shake/move the cloth so that it drapes/slides off one way or another: oimo.io/works/cloth/

Hot, hot hot... I made some pork curry for dinner, indian style. We had that and warmed up rice. A bag of frozen green beans into the curry, so at least a little veg. And, as it is every year at this time--bomb day:

Title says it. This is a grand piano, are there any similar shots using a guitar instead? (without using an image generator)

Beer purity laws here, similar to/based on germany's. So most of these thing that are being called fruity beers in this thread are not allowed to be called/sold as 'beer'. ('fruity' as in how the hops taste would be fine)
Add fruit syrup, citrus, perverse things like cardamom, and ...
Those ideas should be over in the Decline of Western Civilization thread.

Wim wenders' "Until the end of the world" now seems prescient.
Besides relating to the pandemic shutdown, another element is an addictive machine that can record your dreams (and play them back to you)--you enter that virtual dream world and don't want to leave. Remarkably like people glued to their cell phones (or goggles).
