The Sound of Music, surprisingly. The first like 90% of the movie is them singing and frolicking through fields, then it ends with them being chased by nazis. It's such a radical shift in tone.

Have you ever heard of a champagne mango? My wife and I had them when we toured a farm in Hawaii where their goal wasn't actually to grow / sell fruit, but to replenish the nutrients in the soil that were wrecked by sugar cane plantations. Anyway, the guy pulls these mangoes straight off the tree and tells us they're really fibrous so you can't eat them like a regular mango, but you can mash it up in the skin then drink it like a juice box. He tossed me the one he was mashing up as a demo while explaining all this then told me to bite the top off and drink. As soon as my teeth broke the skin, juice started gushing out onto my shoes and the ground. The juice from that mango is easily like top 3 things I've ever eaten. Both the amount of flavor and the amount of juice that came from it were unbelievable.

What are you using a barometer for so frequently?

I have Guitar Pro 8 hooked up to Ableton Live

What do you mean by this? I use both programs but don't don't have them connected in any way so I'm curious on what I might be missing out on.

This would make a sick map in Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

Could someone explain what's going on here? I know very little about Formula 1, but this popped in my 'all' feed and I'm curious to know the context.

How long are you resting between sets? The simple answer could very well be that you just need to rest longer between sets. As Dr. Mike Israetel explains in this video, there's no magic number for how long you need to rest. https://youtu.be/0FZf6nv_aGg

By bank manager, do you mean like the manager of a specific location? Or do you mean higher up than that?

One thing to keep in mind with something like Syncthing is where the physical location of the other machine(s) is. The nice thing about cloud storage is that your data is in an entirely different geographic region, so if there's a hurricane, flood, fire, etc. your data is still safe. That being said, I use Google drive at the moment so I'll also be keeping an eye on this post for alternatives.

How did they get access to the shaft to throw trash into it?

TD11-KV for me. Had it about 7 years now. I plug it into my computer and run it through Addictive Drums. The sounds are incredible. They're so much easier to record compared to micing up acoustic drums too.

Others have commented on fixing the inlay, but I noticed there's also some dings and divots in the frets themselves. In case that's what you're referring to, those are also entirely fixable. Divots like those can cause buzzing or dead frets. If that's not happening to you, then no need to bother fixing them.

To fix that, you would need to run a sharpie over the top of the fret then file it until most of the sharpie is gone. Repeat until the divot is no longer there. Next, you sharpie it one more time, but this time you're crowning the fret so the top is round instead of flat. There's tons of YouTube videos that show the technique for doing this. It can be a little tricky. Then you'd polish it up so it's nice and smooth.

If the dents are deep enough, you might need to replace the fret completely which is also entirely doable, but will require some more tools to cut the fret ends and pull the original fret out.
