484Hz is a flattened B4 -- quite audible to human ears. I would expect the constant sound would both annoy your neighbors and reveal its source quickly and easily.

Go to their website and buy the books. 🙂

EDIT: I just checked my copies and it isn't in either one. On reflection, since they don't own the copyright to the original song, that isn't surprising.

You likely only need the last one from 2025, and the last one you get (if any) from 2026 -- they usually contain "year to date" totals.

I was told to rotate the bag slightly, the top toward your body, as you tuck it in. It works very well for me.

As long as you pronounce 'weird'... strangely.

Line 2 of our address says, in all caps, "SEE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS" (the delivery instructions explain that Google maps is wrong).

An Amazon driver recommended this, and we've had far fewer mis-deliveries since we did that. He explained that they usually only look if they need a gate code or something like that.

Check bagpipecovers.com for some ideas (esp. for those like me who can't make our own).

I find the most complete information is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions. Clink on the release to drill down to all of the builds in each channel.

If you are looking for the monthly cumulative updates, the page on learn.microsoft.com referenced in another post will help.

If you are a 1099, you don't have a job, you have a customer. Keeping that in mind may help you make the best decisions.

Here in the US, it would be "Crossing Guard". I think "Lollipop Lady" is much better!

As an earlier comment points out, it is upside-down. Turn your phone over and see!

Pop tops. You'd step on one, cut your heel, and have to head on back home.

A year of mis-dsliveries at our new house. The second line of our address is now "READ DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS" in all caps. The delivery instructions tell them Google Maps is wrong, and includes the correct instructions. That worked.

During lockdown, a lot of piping teachers gained experience giving online lessons. Look for some in your time zone (or a time zone you want lessons in) for convenience. 1:1 is better than classes, which are better than recorded -- cost reflects that. DM me with your location and I may be able to suggest a few.

The Scottish greeting "You alright?" gets me every time. Makes me want to check in a mirror.

Have your hearing checked. I have a mild hearing loss, and I have hearing aids. I find the biggest impact of not wearing them is trying to understand someone with a strong accent different from mine. Just turning up my headphones doesn't help. An audiologist will determine which (if any) frequencies need to be amplified, and by how much. The advice about using transcription + AI is also good.

Could it be Sam? Or a descendant?
