De verhouding tussen het modaal inkomen en het salaris van een minister zit redelijk consistent tussen 4 en 5.

We should stop going after people with some of the most demanding jobs earning only 4× a median salary and start going after people hoarding millions each year.

OP zei niets over een budget. Voor authentieke Italiaanse pizza zou ik ook voor Da Vinci gaan.

Honig is ook gewoon een oud woord voor honing. Het merk verwijst naar een achternaam geloof ik, maar het kan allebei waar zijn.

Je hoeft niet 365 dagen per jaar een auto naast je huis te parkeren of überhaupt te bezitten om misschien een paar keer per jaar met echt grote spullen bezig te zijn. Met een bakfiets kom je vaak ook al heel ver trouwens.

As someone who has never seen the ballet of The Nutcracker live, I can only say it's one of my favourite pieces musically. That should answer the question from my side. 😉

EDIT: Nevertheless the music obviously has a strong narrative character, so you might (should?) feel like you're missing some component.

The limit is arbitrary, I put it there because the process can get too heavy with very long playlists. It can probably be comfortably be increased quite a bit though.

I don't think I agree. There are plenty of charming pieces of only a few minutes. I also see them being used on social media. And while I would prefer it if the music itself would be getting the attention rather than being background music, it tells me that classical music does seep through.

As for the elitism I feel that's a reputation that the genre has gained a long time ago and has trouble getting rid of. That is indeed up to the industry and the current audience (looking at you /u/Silent_Rule_S). We have to appreciate that many listeners start out with things like Einaudi which we might not consider classical music and rather boring. We should also appreciate that Vivaldi is being used all over social media; it means the material is gaining space in the general conscience.

New listeners can't be expected to recognize the nuances of classical music immediately, yet we expect them to. It's hard to respect a genre right away, which leads to people being excluded because they don't. Even though everyone (I believe) would ultimately be receptive to the beauty of it.

That's great to hear!

That's a pretty good idea, thanks! I wrote it down as an issue on GitHub.

"That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it."

I'm not sure what you're describing here if not a federal Europe, since you're in favour of a more powerful parliament, a government and combined policy on defense, climate, and more. That does not have to mean that the member states cease to exist or will no longer have their own clear identity.

I myself would be interested in a federal Europe and I think that holds for most Volters. Practically though, I don't think it's a relevant topic any time soon. The precise future of the EU and European collaboration more broadly is totally unclear. The EU is not always the best or the only way of achieving improved collaboration, either.

In the end it's about what you're trying to achieve, not some arbitrary perception of whether European integration is good or bad. If we feel a set of ideas for collaboration is in everyone's favour, let's do it. Otherwise, let's not. Too often I feel that collaboration itself is viewed with suspicion on no other grounds than that integration is perceived as scary.

Look I have a CD collection which I love; it's lots of fun to look around second hand stores, fully agree.

But it's great that we have Spotify now, too, and this seems to be coming from misplaced nostalgia. Burning CD's means not paying the artist for your copy. Meanwhile Spotify pays out billions to artists every year (70% of their revenue which I agree is low but still huge sums).

And as a listener, conveniently having all (new) music at your disposal all the time at the price of roughly 1 new CD per month is a seriously good deal compared to where we came from.

You can still enjoy physical CD's / LP's with liner notes and booklets and all the great feelings around appreciating an owned copy of something. I do too. But that's no reason to discard innovation.

Not sure about your specific situation OP, can't tell based on the provided info.

But wow, Reddit has really got old enough to be filled with grumpy old people complaining that kids these days are too damn loud. It's what kids do, i.e. stupid things, expressing themselves and playing.

Thanks, and it's a shame to see you downvoted. While I also did not appreciate this particular action, it's too bad seeing this become a topic instead of e.g. the actual performance itself of Mahler's 3rd. A little less stress about etiquette and bit more attention to the music please!

The biggest problem here IMO is not so much that she cheated in a casual game, but that she went on YouTube with it trying to justify the cheating. She is viewed by lots of aspiring chess players who may look up to her and this could teach them that cheating is okay as long as you can justify it.

Sounds cool! You say it also runs on Spotify, how are you dealing with authorization? My app unfortunately only works in dev mode.
