I was thinking visually. But even sound-wise I don’t think most people would hear a cello and think that’s a violin (even if they don’t know it’s a cello). But I’ve listened to a lot of Apocalyptica and 2Cellos, and I also grew up on cartoons that feature tubas frequently for comedic effect, so maybe I’m just biased.

I think non-musicians can tell a cello from a violin and a tuba from a trumpet.

That’s why the mother got charged. She was supposed to know better. And leaving an loaded gun where a child can get it does make a difference vs leaving an unloaded gun where a child can get it

The child is 6. Wouldn’t she take the fall no matter what?

I assume a mosquito that just had a meal even though it wasn’t hungry and only wanted to give someone malaria.

we don’t know that

might

Unless you’re operating under “guilty until proven innocent”, those are not reasons to accuse someone.

Serious question. What exactly does it do to save time? My wife treats making bread like boiling an egg. Something you can do quickly and easily whenever you need it. So I’m wondering which part of it can be simplified.

right before COVID hit

Isn’t that a year before house prices and mortgage rates dropped to all time lows?

I’m assuming they all measure in American left/right, nor actual left/right
