Looking for a keyboard for myself - a person used to playing a piano.
It would live in an apartment with space for something relatively substantial, but not absurd.
I would like it to be on the nicer end of "good," but again - not absurd.
I'd like a piano "feel" and sound.
Suggestions?

I decided earlier today, even before there was millennial fiber/colonoscopy/colon cancer talk on here, to do the thing where you blend cooked red lentils onto marinara sauce and it was really good! I had whole wheat penne (an influenced choice) with that sauce plus broccolini and Italian sausage

Eat beans! #beansky
Colon cancer numbers are rising in the US, UK, Canada, China, Australia, India, South Korea, the EU, Brazil, South Africa etc., the exception is in women in Nordic states who are more likely to eat a diet high in fiber because of berries. Eat beans, berries and other high fiber foods. Limit booze
So many Americans are dying from colon cancer and thats terrifying to me.

This ICE violence is a block and a half away from the Saint Paul Curling Club, where Rich Ruohonen (the curler in the above video) is based. This ethnic cleansing campaign has not stopped, and is endangering all of our lives.

I'm a little surprised these sales still happen because the ROI is so elusive (primarily thanks to the shitty economics of streaming), but I bet we will start hearing a bunch of Britney Spears songs in TV ads and movies/trailers starting in about six months (licensing music makes money more easily)

It’s time to name the NYT for what it is: a space to launder and normalize hard-right ideas and policies while deauthorizing any criticism of same
The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.”
But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public!

Warum Deutschlands Biathleten bei Olympia mit Masken feiern
Um Infektionen zu vermeiden, gibt es ein strenges Hygienekonzept. Daran stören sich zwar Maskenkritiker, doch an der Wirksamkeit auch bei den Winterspielen zweifelt im deutschen Biathlon-Team niemand.

This is similar to Beyonce's choice to work with Rhiannon Giddens in the creation of "Cowboy Carter", I love the trend of popular music stars engaging researchers as they confront certain issues, classical music institutions rarely do this (because they rarely confront the status quo)
