Hegseth Is Said to Have Summoned U.S. Military Brass From Around the Globe

Couldn't he have saved a bunch of money by just doing a Signal chat?

Of course! Eddie's right. The band isn't really getting back together. Just funny to read that this morning in the news.

Influential rock band pushes back first US tour in 22 years due to injury The band postponed the tour two weeks before it was supposed to start.

So I'm rereading The Dark Tower series and last night I get to a minor part where there's a a poster for a sex pistols reunion tour and Eddie thinks" that's a band that'd never get back together." @stephenking.bsky.social masslive.com share.google/GKaBjHycd0jj...

I wonder if he felt that way when Obama was president.

Oh and if you don't have a chromatic tuner you are going to want one. They are cheap and awesome things for tuning instruments.

From the UnusualInstruments community on Reddit: β€˜Mandolin Guitar Harp’ zither found in antique store. Pretty rough condition overall but seems to still have all its strings but one. Explore this post and more from the UnusualInstruments community

Might be a challenge to find new strings. Maybe look at zither strings? Here is a thread about a similar instrument on reddit.

Kinda interesting that the right side which appears to be double courses of strings (like a mandolin) do not have sharps or flats. Does the book that I assume came with it, call it a Guitar Mandolin Harp? Also I love that it has the price on the label in the sound hole.

I play a variety of stringed instruments but never one of those.

Cool! Probably the biggest risk would be if it can't take the string tension. Is it in tune (or close) now? If yes then it shouldn't explode with the new strings. I'd try changing just one or two strings at a time. Have you found a set of new strings?

Two facts:

1) I'll be that guy and point out that if you count the first one today is the 250th Independence day even though it has only been 249 years since July 4th, 1776.

2) The GOP are a bunch of outright ant-American fascists.
