This is not religion. If you don't belong to my exact sect of christianity you are going to hell. However if you use a differet pan than me or even have a mix there is nothing wrong with it. So get and have a mix and learn what each does well / poorly.

i won't fry an egg on anything other than non-stick. I won't sear a steak in that, or my stainless (my stove takes too long to get my thick stainless to temperature - ymmv with different pans or a better stove), so cast iron it is. Most of my cooking is in cast iron because it is cheap and versital, but I use my stainless often enough that I'm keeping them.

Suburbs are dense enough to support the above transit levels. A few places is the world have it.

rural is not, but that is a minority of people.

Convience is needed. That means it is not more than 5 minutes from when you get to the stop until you are moving. It means you can get to a lot of places in a short time. It doesn't mean cofiee - bring your own, or stop by a coffee shop and get on the next but/train which isn't that long of a wait.

the above would cost a lot of money - but it is much less than people spend on cars.

Are you sure they wouldn't use transit? Or is it just all the transit they have ever seen is so bad they wouldn't use it and they have no vision of what could be - but if somehow you built they great transit they would use it?

Back to my point: fix tranit so more people don't think they need to drive. Small cars are still vastly more dangeious than transit.

These truck should only be used by the few people who need a big truck. That is a small minority of people.

They are not that hard to make and you can plan in advance to run 'exercises'. So normally they might not but when they realize a need they can start putting them in rotation.

True, but be careful, many of those you list appear to be small business because the big corporate owners have decided to have different name out front which makes it look like small business but they are not. You can tell because they are trying to sell you "services" that you don't need.

 

My wife is complaining that we have music all over the living room all the time. With a couple kids in music lessons, school bands (regular, jazz), orchestra, and such a practice session often needs 6 books and 5 loose pages of music so I can't blame her for being frustrated. There is no easy way to store all that and find what you need for the current daily practice sessions.

Putting a tablet (suggestions? schools gives the kids an iPad, and I'm looking at pinetab2, or boox for me) on a stand seems easy enough, but then what?

Mobile sheets seems to be what others around me use, so probably what I'd end up doing too, though I'm not locked to anything. Any other software that I should be looking at? I do like the idea that we can synchronize page turning.

The hard part is getting all my music onto my NAS. Do I just scan all my books? Buy again as PDF (only rarely an option). Entry the music into some other program? I have some sheet music I want to put into lilypond - is there anything that would sync my tablets to a rendered version of this.

I already have Jellyfin and I see book options (but have not used it yet). Calibri-web also comes up often for books. Both seem book reading focused and music flows / organization is different. Anything else I might want to put on my servers that might be better?

Any other thoughts? What have others done that works?

 

I was working on my new server and decided my network connection what setup wrong so I adjusted the settings file. In a moment of unusual clarity I realized this was the connection I was using to access the machine via ssh and if something went wrong I was in trouble - so I verified that this machine was also reachable via ssh from the other ethernet interface that was directly connected to my NAS. I was right, my first config changes did break the network, but I still had the backup connection option and so I was able to recover.
