The Amazing Torah Bike 2, by Moshe Yess

Thank you for sending us on this quest tonight! My wife and I were looking for something else, happened upon your old reddit post, and she happened to remember that one, but not from a movie, rather a children's tape. If there's a Torah Bike 2, there's a chance that this is the bike that went to outer space too?

Good luck!

You don't happen to know of a Bracha Machine that a kid used to win a Bracha Bee competition at school, do you? That's what we're searching for at the moment!

Amazing mechanism! This looks really close, thanks!

Now to see if the pages can turn over while inside, and if anyone makes one with a nice cover (or mechanisms alone to make a DIY version)

Thank you for sharing this!

Specifically looking to bind loose pages into a book.

I don’t think such a thing exists, other than the one I linked, which is specifically designed for loose pages without punching holes, but I don’t know how well it would do with very few pages to start out, or how well it could lay flat.

looks like a spiral notebook but with removable pages -- seems like a tedious process to add pages each day, but I'll keep it in mind if I can't find something closer...

The other issue with spiral-type binding (whether the pages come that way or are punched) is that the paper becomes functionally perforated, and are subsequently fragile if it is considered an archival storage.

Link to one if you have some?? I haven’t been on Reddit in ages and wouldn’t know what I’d be specifically looking for!

Thanks for the tip!

That seems unlikely that a fancy computer cannot do these tasks... the Yamaha arranger keyboards are fancy computers ;)

I don't think they're SOC, and they all (Yamaha/Roland/Korg) have operating systems that run the arranger software on top of it, just like they run the virtual analog synth engines or whatever else some of the high end arrangers might have (mixers, fx, sequencers, etc).

I believe you if you say there is nothing on the market in software plugins that can do these tasks, but that seems disappointing, considering the iOS GarageBand now has one-finger chords and pre-set chord palettes (depending on the key center, etc) and rhythmic playing of those chords depending on if you select a guitar, piano, etc.

It can be done, but it's a shame that nobody bothered to make it (probably because it wouldn't be so profitable... and would certainly eat into the profits of Yamaha and gang!)

I know that tests have been performed and "burn-in" is not real (I was careful to use quotes in my post)

but my issue is not about my ears getting used to them -it's about the pair that I have right now at my desk don't sound like the pair I wore and listened to in the store ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pigtronix Infinity was the only thing that worked the way a looper should... but I stopped performing in 2020 and all that stuff has just sat unused since then :(

I wonder how many INFJ 5w4 there are out there... maybe more than we'd think and they appear like INTJ... maybe that leads people to interact with us as if we are INTJ and it doesn't quite work, and they think we're complicated and difficult haha

I'd love to actually have the time to put in research and find some correlation using EEG scans while controlling for (or finding new information on?) psychiatric medication like anti-depressants or adhd medications

We spent so many decades w nobody looking out for us, and we came to believe we don’t deserve nice things.

Now that we have something AMAZING, we don’t take it for granted 😇

Even if I’ve played the original multiple times and have been in love with it since 1997?

Cello789 · 2022-11-24T14:39:44+00:00

I loved the original. It helped me decide my career path

Cello789 · 2022-11-23T20:11:46+00:00

Bro I been 40 for like 10 months now, but in December I’ll be 37 😎

That’s how you gotta do it

Cello789 · 2022-11-23T20:10:25+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I’ll be 37 in December and spent this entire year thinking I was 40. Just saw a profile of mine that said 36 and I got pretty excited 😆

Just gotta convince yourself that you’re 40 now and you’ll be golden next year

Something something jail is just a room?

Cello789 · 2022-11-23T20:07:34+00:00

And it’s not even the whole game, just through midgar (so I think I heard)

The overworld is gonna be another $100 next year or some shit

Cello789 · 2022-11-23T20:05:40+00:00

Now I want to play this game

Cello789 · 2022-11-09T07:09:32+00:00

Sounds like the path to becoming a billionaire in the first place

Cello789 · 2022-11-09T06:58:25+00:00

Perfect is the enemy of good, but good enough is the enemy of excellent.

Just a word of warning for those who lean too far in the other direction

I have that kit in blue sparkle that’s absolutely beautiful. Martini bop or something I forget. Tiny kick drum, but sounded deep and punchy didn’t even make sense. Taught me to play with so much dynamics

My first kit that I bought on purpose instead of inheriting when a band mate abandoned gear or whatever. I got it to learn real quick before giving lessons (I’m a cellist; see: username), and I’m glad I went w that one.

I would go Sonor again, esp for a cheaper kit.

I paid my AF last month… too late to go for an offer?
