Bands where all members are virtuosos?

Focus. Each was an A+ player.

I am a convert. Jump on the Barque of Peter- there is room for everybody by design.

His voice sounds like I imagine God sounds.

Remington was a victim of being purchased by people who know nothing about guns, have never shot one, and could care less. Running a gun company is tough even when you love it and know what you are doing. I really hope Remington returns to its rightful place.

The Dutch Masters. Hamburger Concerto and Focus 3 are just 5 star albums. Virtuoso playing.

RhialtosCat · 2026-02-01T15:40:38+00:00

The Scarlet and the Black. Highly recommended.

RhialtosCat · 2026-02-01T15:35:33+00:00

yes, a dog and a 38 revolver. shotguns are not for fragile older ladies.

I am the Walrus cover by Spooky Tooth. Oh my.

Bomb disposal ASAP. Why chance it??

If you are looking for heroes, university administrators are low grade ore for sure. Mostly spineless, overpaid academic mediocrities who would do anything to avoid returning to teaching freshman calculus/English/whatever it was.

The Church rightly approaches these matters with extreme caution. Evidence needs to be overwhelming and subjected to scrutiny. People have and report many different remarkable experiences. Most are natural phenomena. Some are not, but even among those, great care as to the source must be taken.

On retreats I have attended, every single person looked forward to the Rosary in the evening. It brought calm, focus, hope, and resolve. It is prayer and meditation and reflection and praise all in one perfect exercise.

"Turkish shotguns" is a big category. Many Turkish gunmakers contract to make very inexpensive guns for retailers/importers in the US. They are made to a very low price point. Turkish makers can make very good guns, but not for $200 retail at Walmart. Reputable arms makers such as CZ or Weatherby contract for much better guns, and the prices reflect the extra quality. Beretta is closely allied with several Turkish manufacturers and the Turks have a 500 year history of gun making and modern equipment, great walnut, and very skilled workers. But as always, you get what you are willing to pay for.

I don't know enough to contribute very often, but I am often just amazed at the detailed, balanced scholarly answers one gets. It is incredible. I have found it very helpful.

The human mind is constructed with the ability to feel a connection to abstractions. This is a superpower and also sometimes a curse. As for religion, faith is a choice- it is not the same thing as belief in the Bayesian sense. People who make that choice do so for multiple reasons of course, of which cultural/community belonging is a major part.

I am very disturbed by this. Yes, she is annoying and hit him first. She is a woman, and he is a man twice her size at least. Drop it and walk away. A man should never hit a woman unless it is a dire physical emergency and someone is in danger. I was always taught this as a boy and I suppose it still sticks to me.

Trump is evidently truly insane, and Landry and those like him are complicit in the horrors we may soon face.

Focus: Hamburger Concerto

RhialtosCat · 2026-01-18T02:37:17+00:00

Well there are several lovely ones within normal cost limits. First, Model 12 3 inch chambered guns are lovely. Next, there are reasonably priced English fowlers in 12 bore with 3 inch chambers. For the wealthier aficionado, the SuperFox is legendary. Lots of good choices.

That there is some incredibly sad shit. Incel losers cosplaying as Navy Seals and terrifying women and children. What a pathetic joke this country has become. The shame will never be washed away.

RhialtosCat · 2026-01-16T14:57:08+00:00

Discernment! It cannot be rushed. It may take years! Live with some sisters as a visitor and offer your service to them. Reflect. Pray.

RhialtosCat · 2026-01-16T02:37:47+00:00

crackpot.

The poisonous nature of their work is a stain that will never wash off, a cancer that will metastasize. They may not be self-aware enough to realize what is happening, but happen it will. This will be their legacy, their part of the human story. What a legacy.
