Just imagine the steak you could cook on there

I saw a tricky spinet yesterday that said Chickering on it but was really made by Wurlitzer. It’s called a stencil piano and they are used to gaslight the general public into thinking they bought one piano, but really, they bought a different piano of much lower quality.

“Pianos and Their Makers” by Alfred Dolge is interesting. Written in 1911

Based on your post from yesterday, I think you may need to visit a Rockler store.

If that’s just for your teeth, I’d hate to see how long it’s been since your last piano tuning.

This happens to me a lot. I blame it on not enough RAM. It usually comes back after rebooting. Sometimes it just needs time and it will work again later.

I just went out to get my first Ethernet splitter box.

I currently have more computers in my home than I have ever had before in my life.

All thanks to this crazy #bitcoin thing.

#Bitcoin fixes this

My first Bitcoin node of 4G RAM and an external HDD took almost 3 months to sync. My second node of 10G RAM and an internal SSD is at 55% in 24 hours. The difference in speed is staggering.

I am certainly tired of all the planned obsolescence. Products only lasting as long as the warranty. I am grateful I can still get parts to fix 100+ year old pianos. If not, I can always make new ones.

Giving up on wsl. Trying virtualbox for an Umbrel node.
