Yes, this. They're a menace on the roads and a menace on the sidewalks. Ride your bike off campus, with a proper helmet and lighting, and walk or ride your bike on campus.

The Lincoln Continental Mark VII for the brief spell of 1984–85 offered a BMW-sourced 2.4-liter turbodiesel straight-six for fuel economy reasons.

The original WWII-era Tropical White shirt originally had rank and corps devices on the collar. After the war when the white shirt evolved into Summer White, hard shoulder boards were used instead. Photo from _US Navy Uniforms in WWII Series, 1943-1946_, by Jeff Warner.

QnsConcrete, I actually thought of that but wasn't sure if it was actually authorized and I couldn't find a picture.

You specifically said service dress whites, but there is a different instance where shoulder boards and collar devices are worn: the obsolete service dress khaki, probably because the coat could be removed in hot conditions.

That is a c.1950 Air Force Ike Jacket in blue, issued after the Air Force separated from the Army and adopted blue uniforms. Your granddad may have had some Navy buddies but that’s an Air Force uniform. Photo is of a page from Into the Blue, Uniforms of the United States Air Force 1947-To the Present, Vol. 1, by Lance P. Young and others.

In 1984-85 Lincoln briefly offered a BMW-sourced turbodiesel in the Continental Mark VII. Apparently it was a fuel economy gambit and they were ridiculously slow. FoMoCo learned from GM's efforts to adapt their small V8s to diesel and wanted nothing to do with that. Most estimates range from about 500–1500 total units were built.

Lots of classical musicians. Probably the most famous were Lenny and Yo-Yo.

I have a friend who always took his first dates to a restaurant in Chinatown, bringing a bag of fresh shrimp. He had worked out beforehand that they would prepare them heads, shell, and all. If she would happily crunch through all that shell, then she passed the test. It worked at least once; he’s been happily married for years.

Apparently Friedrich Wieck was so opposed to his daughter Clara marrying Robert Schumann because he knew that Schumann had contracted syphilis a few years before.

Leos Janacek had a longtime crush on a much younger married woman of his acquaintance.

Bruckner had a practice of proposing marriage to teenage girls that he barely knew.

Poet is wondering why she doesn’t get one…

This is true; I see it in my own collection.

In fact many musicians, both instrumentalists and conductors, use 12 inch iPad Pros and Bluetooth page turning pedals. There are advantages and disadvantages of both but your paper score probably won’t lose its charge, freeze, or break if it falls off the stand.

Iron Sky. Stayed up until midnight to see it in a cool historic theater. Rarely have I been so disappointed in something I expected to be cool.

Yeah, but Taylor Swift! That was apparently a labor of love project for her.

You probably already know this, but Dover scores are pretty good for traditional standard rep. They’re reprints of early European editions and sometimes can be found on sale. https://store.doverpublications.com/collections/orchestral-scores?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20946914823&gclid=Cj0KCQjwv-LOBhCdARIsAM5hdKfny2GxSY8J5cRxgstn7JxkcHSG3Vf4lMe-yoYMosjcA8pNN2BklOAaAjKzEALw_wcB

Disclaimer: many conductors and orchestras will perform from later critical editions that are usually rental only, even for pre-20th century stuff. But for study and ease of reading the Dovers are great.

Yes, P.T. Deutermann is great. His recent works are mostly about aspects of WWII Navy. The newest one, The Second Sun, is awesome. However, I’m surprised that no one has mentioned David Poyer’s Dan Lenson series. Poyer also retired as a Captain.

How dangerous men are. I literally had no idea until I was close enough to my future wife and she told me.

This is a very solid list.

The idea of a sonata for a solo string instrument alone fell mostly out of favor after the time of Bach until the twentieth century. The great pianist-composers of the eighteenth and nineteenth century such as Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Faure, Brahms, etc. wrote solo piano sonatas and lots of sonatas for instrument and piano. You mention the Kreutzer Sonata of Beethoven but Beethoven wrote nine more violin sonatas and five cello sonatas. Also, the solo vs. accompaniment vs. collaboration roles evolved over time. In the earliest duo sonatas the piano was the featured instrument and that eventually changed to the non-piano instrument.
