The blanc is good for many purposes, some are or should be classics.
This is a good start. Refrigerate your vermouth, it is wine and will sour. In fridge it will survive a while. Dolin dry rules the dry category if you can't find Noilly Prat Original Dry. Regarding sweet vermouth, I don't want to tell. Can't have the price driven up.
This is a good start. Note:
I haven't heard this one, now I need to listen to the album. It was geoblocked here but (not a token!) here it is

This! πππ
I'll look for it!
The first album "Leg End" is probably my favorite of theirs, but you need to look for the orignal mastering. The re-master was a significant change, and not for the better IMO.
Token 2 is "War" by Henry Cow, off of their album In Praise Of Learning.

Rene Jacques
CafΓ© aux Invalides
Paris (1941)
I remembered that someone had covered it, but forgot who!
Happy Saturday cats and kitties! Token 1 is Eric Bogle, with "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda," a song for the WWI vets and for all wars in all times.

This isn't Xitter and it isn't Meta and your weird games won't help you here.
I reluctantly followed another account which posts everything as a single thread. I hate this. It crashes some of my devices from memory overloads. Why can't you post like normal people?
Interesting, if wildly optimistic, article about the future of DSP's.

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api
I feel like this new research showing that Covid *literally* infects the heart and gives "healthy" people new serious cardiac problems should somehow be bigger news.
Please enjoy the single most amazing quote from a paleontologist I have ever read: βThe animal literally cemented itselfβand its nether regionsβinto eternal history like the movie stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.β π§ͺ www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

Overcast and rainy here.
GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has OFFICIALLY started clinical trials. GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.
