Making a top comment for this. I have found a recording on medici.tv from April 2025 (same choreography): https://www.medici.tv/en/ballets/edward-clug-peer-gynt-grieg-la-scala
It’s a subscription service, but if you really want to watch it, it’s worth it (and you can cancel after a month anyway)
Just another AI agent bro, that will fix th
Out of Memory or System Resources. Close some windows or programs and try again.
I want to watch this as well, but can’t find anything either. I sent a mail to the opera house asking how I can get a recording.
Edit: got a reply. They don’t have the recording and told me to contact the choreographer as he apparently owns the rights. Will try to do so later today (at work now)
Update 2: Found the instagram of the choreographer (Edward Clug) and sent him a message
Update 3: After checking his instagram a bit further, it turns out that there still are performances now and then (averaging at 1 per year, last one was in April). This led me to some more internet searching and I found where you can watch the most recent one (at La Scala in Milan): https://www.medici.tv/en/ballets/edward-clug-peer-gynt-grieg-la-scala
Last update: he blocked me without responding. But hey, I found it so I still call it a win.
Not for himself, as he just joined the billionaire club. I would probably have ruined it for a billion as well, if I’m being completely honest.
My brother was studying to become a Jesuit and there was this running joke amongst the Jesuits about praying where they would go “Why? God doesn’t exist.” This may sound hypocritical and it kind of is, but they consider the religion more a moral framework rather than something to rigorously believe in. That’s also why Pope Francis resonated with many non-believers because, at least the modern Jesuits, apply the moral lessons of the New Testament with a healthy dose of rationality (they are considered the intellectual branch of the church for a reason).
Very few, if any, Jesuit these days believe in the existence of a god, but they find value in the moral framework and how they can apply that to make this world a better place. It’s the only religious order I can stomach to have conversations with.
Yes, 23H2 at the moment.
Edit: Enterprise edition, to be clear. Home and Pro 23H2 were eol a couple of weeks ago.
We’re running the oldest supported Windows version in our enterprise just to make sure these non-stop stream of Microsoft fuck-ups doesn’t affect us too much.
We are not ready though. Mentally, sure, but in case of an all out war we would still run out of ammo, bombs and manpower in weeks. Only now do we see the first factories and production lines coming online based on the investments of the past years and even then not all the supply lines have been adjusted for it. Europe could probably be ready by the end of 2027 at the earliest, provided it removes its command and control dependency from the US.
Realistically, Europe won’t be ready until 2030. That’s not to say we wouldn’t be able to get ready sooner, we absolutely would, if we were to switch to a war economy. But nobody wants that, because it ruins your economy and is grossly expensive.
That doesn’t mean we would get crushed, that wouldn’t be the case, but we would be on the defensive for a while until the gears of war are properly greased.
I feel this is where the coalition of the willing as the dubbed it, need to step up and say “fuck this”, find a solution for the frozen assets, establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine and put the US under pressure to stop being a little bitch and continue the intel support.
That being said, without US sanctions and support this would become exponentially harder to do.
This guy made a sad face. You have to provide a picture now. We can’t sleep unless you do!
Rush is actually a pretty good band. I remember listening to them a lot when I was 17-18. Now I have to listen to them again…
Last I checked it was a fast food chain.
The copilot in outlook feature is super handy for summarizing mails from one colleague who writes half a novel each time. That’s about the only handy use I have found for it, for the rest it’s annoying.
And the river, but don’t ask them to play stud.
Nissan vanette and ford focus. Don’t miss either of those and have an automatic now. I still drive a friend’s van from time to time which has a clutch, whoch is good so I don’t forget how to drive it. Although it still feels completely natural since I drove manual for 2 decades.
I don’t like large 4k displays because the resolution is so good it breaks the immersion when you watch a movie. You can see that they are on a set sometimes, or details of clothing in medieval movies that give away they were created with modern sewing equipment.
It’s a bit of a stupid reason I guess, but that’s why I don’t want to go above 1080p for tv’s.
I think you vastly underestimate the catch-22 Putin has steered Russia in. They’re not recovering from this economic disaster this century. They’re damned if they do (continue the war) and damned if they don’t. That’s also why NATO considers Russia a significant threat to regional stability even if the war were to end where they get everything they wanted. It’s a lose-lose situation for Russia, but continued aggression to keep the war economy going is currently the path of least resistance.
Infrastructure spending? This is Russia we are talking about. From every ruble spent by the government, at least 75% disappears if not more. The systemic corruption in Russia will obliterate any supposed advantage they have by ending the war.
And those foreign assets are only partially government assets. These include investment accounts of normal Russians, payment to companies that have been held back, etc… We are talking billions but Russia is bleeding billions every month now, and the release of those assets will only partially mitigate the unfolding souffle like collapse of the Russian economy. It’s not a sudden crash, just a general return to poverty.
A return of fossil fuel sales to prewar income would help, but I don’t see that happening as long as they occupy the Donbas and Crimea. Some sanctions will be lifted in case of a peace agreement but not even regime change will roll back all of the sanctions.
“First Noel” is an album by Ibrahim Maalouf that has some great jazz versions of well known Christmas music.
