[quote]to me if you are natural...waist size at navel is better measurement for health.[/quote] Probably true, however BMI is way better than the average person thinks. Even an extraordinarily fit large athlete (defensive linemen, bodybuilders, upper weight category strength athletes, etc.) will...

re: Acoustic Guitar Recommendations

Posted by Ace Midnight on 5/16/24 at 11:24 am
I can recommend Ovation enthusiastically, although you might need a classical for the wider nut. They're all A/E, lighter at every size category and I like the sound. Some folks think the sound is thin unamplified, but not to my ears. Sure, my 40+ year old Guild sounds like a grand piano, but t...
[quote]Cut the power grid and within 2 weeks you'll find out if we're inherently evil or good.[/quote] However optimistic I might be about general human impulses, even I know it won't take nearly 2 weeks. New Orleans was a functional city on Friday before Katrina and by Wednesday, even largely...

[quote]Willemijn Verkaik[/quote] Obviously, Menzel and Chenowith are the originating team and everything after was at least based on or influenced by that, but the hyperproductive team of Verkaik and Katie Rose Clarke is my favorite (and the E/G we saw on Broadway). ...

[quote]Where are we?[/quote] Compared to the Stone Age? The Iron Age? Medieval times? Light years ahead. This is one of the negatives about modern, 21st Century humans. No perspective on the fact we're living in literally miraculous times. Entertainment/leisure Availability of food, ...
[quote]My guess is that most of you will argue that people are inherently evil.[/quote] Civilization itself tends to argue against that. A lot of selfless cooperation was required to get us where we are today. Now, are people inherently self-interested? Sure, but those who survived and thriv...

[quote]Reagan was the best at communicating a message. Obama, love him or hate him you have to admit he did have charisma.[/quote] Reagan is almost a given with his background. Obama was a great speaker, no doubt, but I think you're sleeping on JFK and both the Roosevelts. Difficult to judge ...
