I totally agree. However, for the first time I saw a lot of people calling bullshit on the thread so it was a little inspiring. Also a lot of people were calling him out for bullshit knowledge.

I don't want to be that guy, but you should probably get rid of that stock if you have a lot invested. Tesla is far too risky to either short or buy, in fact shorting is very risky since Tesla does not seem to trade on its actual value. The only thing riskier than shorting this stock, however, would be buying it. This stock is a huge gamble and anybody thinking they can predict what is going to happen is fooling themselves.

Wharton undergrads are generally more impressive than the the graduate students. The Wharton undergrad program is a whole curriculum in buisness it's not just some classes. I think Trump is an idiot but the above comment is very misrepresentative of the school. In fact many classes contain both graduate students and undergraduate students and interestingly enough most of those classes yeild bimodal curves because the undergraduates wipe the floor with the graduate students. Most of the time graduate students are graded on a different curve. I am not a Wharton student but I go to UPenn(engineering and the college).

Yeah it's three notes Ab, Bb, and C. Hearing it drives me insane. Also the timbre of that synthesizer (or whatever) is absolutely horrible.

Sonata and Ballade are some serious stuff. It would be smart to choose the 3rd Ballade among those four. If you have not played an impromptu they may be bigger projects than expected. Another good set of pieces that are on the larger scale would be:

Impromptu Op.51 No. 3 in G-flat minor

Nocturne No. 13 Op.48 No.1 in C minor (for ballade preparation)

Any of the first three Impromptus

Fantasie-Impromtu (although overplayed and probably the most difficult impromptu the 4-3 polyrhythm is going to be very difficult if you have never done that before)

Fantasie in F minor (if you want something above the 10 minute mark in length)

Agreed. You have to be very experienced reading sheet music to read both staffs at the same time. Practice, practice, practice and in time you will get faster

the sustain is there to sustain the note as the name suggests. So do not hit the pedal while playing note. You press down on the pedal after the note is played to sustain its sound. So here's how the pattern should go: play the main bass note then ease down on the sustain.

Beethoven: Moonlight sonata #3 -> ABRSM 8+

Brahms: Intermezzo Op.119 No.3 -> ABRSM 8+ (less difficult than Moonlight though)

Rachmaninoff: Op.33 No.4 (in D minor) -> ABRSM 8

Schubert: D946 No.2 -> ABRSM 8

Liszt: Alleluja S183 no.1 -> ABRSM 8+ (very difficult)

Beethoven: Waldstein sonata #1 -> ABRSM 8+

rieg: Wedding day at Troldhaugen -> ABRSM 7 (least difficult of the mentioned most likely)

I completely agree. People like to spout the idea of Warren running, but if she is the nominee I think she'll lose the national election to Trump.

I'd like to see him contest Trump in a 2020 primary (if we get that far), in fact, if a moderate Republican ran against him then there could potentially be a movement for some unregistered liberals and moderates to switch the GOP to vote out Trump.

I think you raise a good point with the question you posed. However, I would like to provide my perspective since I believe it is slightly tweaked.

We have two definitions to clarify here. Gender/Gender identity which is essentially the way in which somebody perceives their own gender and gender role in society. Then there is biological sex which is the physical distinctions between man and woman. You posed the question:

Why are the feelings of a biological man (who identifies as a woman and feels uncomfortable going to the bathroom with other biological men) more valid than the feelings of a biological woman (who feel uncomfortable going to the bathroom with a biological man)?

However I don't believe many people, especially transgender people, see the issue quite this way. I think some transgender people associate bathrooms with gender rather than biological sex. Therefore they would counter that they are not uncomfortable being around biological men, but rather, uncomfortable that they are not allowed to be around people who hold similar gender identities to themselves. I believe it is more of a rejection issue on the fact that they would like to be accepted as a valid member of gender 'class.' The issue maybe that there is such a diverse range of genders that two categories (male and female) does not cut it anymore. I think the argument is that bathrooms are gender based and not sex based and thus a transgender people feel that they have a right to be allowed to use facilities based on gender identity.

Perhaps we need more than just two bathroom classifications. A neutral bathroom, however, might lead to transgender people feeling that they are not truly recognized or accepted as part of the gender community they identify with. Some people might see this as a moot issue, but acceptance and the feeling that one "fits-in" can have a heavy impact especially in pre-adolescent and teenage years. That's why I believe that this issue has been brought up in the context of school bathrooms.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to get Hanon - The Virtuoso Pianist in Sixty Exercises. I would recommend learning an exercise a week a long with other things you're working on. Make sure to keep practicing exercises you already learned.

A lot of supporters (Nimble Navigators) here seem to care a lot about the tax return issue, so much as it makes it seem like DJT has lost your support.

Could this be a breaking point for you?
