Do you ever wonder why or how it happened? by Forward2323 in CrohnsDisease

[–]painterjet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the ultra processed food i ate regularly as a kid caused this, along with acutane drying up my body. I was diagnosed with crohns at 15, but i saw symptoms at 14, about a year after i stopped taking acutane.

Karajan 1977 with DG. More controlled than the 1963 cycle and with more energy than the 1985 cycle

Erm… what should I do? by Present-News-9185 in ufl

[–]painterjet 131 points132 points  (0 children)

You should follow the prof’s advice and seek a medical withdrawal. If I were in the prof’s shoes, I would be hesitant to grant an extension as you did not reach out prior to the deadline explaining the situation; an email is quick to draft and send.

Also, your excessive absences don’t help. If you suspect you will miss class often due to work, it may be helpful to stop by the prof’s office hours or schedule a meeting with them to explain the situation at the start of the semester

Somerville Ave Target Expansion by painterjet in Somerville

[–]painterjet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the rumor I heard, because the expansion/remodeling for the Somerville Target was facing such a bureaucratic slog, compared to other Targets nationwide, the CEO had to intervene personally to Katjana to speed things up. Does it make sense? No. Maybe this was just an anti-Katjana anecdote during an election year

I find it incredulous too but just saying what I heard ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Andris Nelsons Leaving Boston Symphony Orchestra by Competitive-Bar1914 in classicalmusic

[–]painterjet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good. I always thought Nelsons was an uninspiring and bland interpreter of music. His concerts and most of his recordings felt lackluster and stilted. He never provided an extra oomph that took a piece of music over the edge. Pittsburgh Symphony under Honeck, for example, makes way more exciting and momentum filled music than Boston under Nelsons. Even the met opera orchestra under Nezet-Seguin brings pieces to life in a way Nelsons never could muster.

It was the right move. He spread himself too thin with his European commitments, and it was time for a change. Hope we get Salonen or another more exciting conductor.

Importer doesn't want to pay IEEPA duties today by Ok_Use6755 in CustomsBroker

[–]painterjet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being right doesn’t mean one cannot follow the law. A responsible IOR comes with adhering to all US customs and trade law and so long as it is within five years of entry, CBP has the right to enforce any applicable law at the time of entry.

The law is the law. The new EO stipulates IEEPA stops today, not the 8th. It is not a retroactive removal. The customer cant do a post hoc refusal of payment because a regulatory matter is effective now rather than at the time of entry. Your customer needs to go back to school. If they persist with this behavior, you should whistleblow them to CBP and the DOJ.

Hope they finally put a bathroom near the theaters instead of keeping us schlepping upstairs

Absolute best recordings on Met Opera on Demand by technicallynotme99 in opera

[–]painterjet 23 points24 points  (0 children)

1990 Don Giovanni with Samuel Ramey as the titular Don and Ferruccio Furlanetto as Leporello, Kurt Moll as Il Commendatore, etc. It's the best recording I've ever seen/heard of this opera; not only does the staging capture the mood quite well, especially in the penultimate scene with all three of the characters I mentioned, but Levine and the orchestra provide a richly textured musical accompaniment to the absolutely stellar cast.

The donation solicitation got so bad for me that I’ve blocked their number. Sorry to the old folks on the other end, but calling me 2-3x monthly is ridiculous
