This makes me want to learn the hurdy-gurdy even more! I mean, in reality, I'm never putting in the time to learn to play it anyway. So, in the fantasy of me being dedicated enough to learn to play an instrument, the added fantasy of me maintaining a finely tuned instrument is just added appeal.

A crystal's resonant frequency is determined by its size and shape as well as it's material. The quartz crystals used in watches and other precision crystal oscillators are machined very exactly. Even then it's not that they can't vibrate at other frequencies, they're just not good at it.

It's either an example of an issue with text AI, or an example of a major cause of the issues with text AI.

Wingspan, I assume.

It's ok, I asked my dog and it explicitly consented.

Still no? Alright, let me put the dog on.

This is the dog, I don't mind being monitored. Go ahead and explain it to the human.

Never happened to me, but I've seen people complaining about being emailed a screenshot of a spreadsheet.

I would never have guessed this, and yet I am also in no way surprised.

Morrison said he'd also been affected by the March outage, so he is now looking to move his money to a local bank, he said.

Why would anyone give a bank a second chance after a screw up of this magnitude? I feel bad for the guy, and ,as always, Wells Fargo can go fuck themselves, but in his particular case this is a bit of a 'fool me once, fool me twice' situation.

I used a similar setup once in the Appalachians. The back wall was fortunately still standing. I had been backpacking for 3 days and hadn't gone once, so I was backed up, but all that activity kept it loose. The view was absolutely beautiful. The open walls let in a fresh breeze, so no outhouse smell at all. Once I forced myself to get over the awkwardness of the exposure and just go, it all came together. Best Shit Of My Life. 20 odd years later that dump still ranks among the most sublime moments I have ever experienced.
