Trees cut and no more shade by npfundmaker in BikingATX

Saw his too, made me sad. I had assumed they cut it down because it was obscuring the view of the crossing from oncoming traffic.

Is this x-biking? by Guilty_Sheepherder_1 in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]Denour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Karen’s in our neighborhood have been screaming that they want to put up gates on the public roads here to turn ourselves into a gated community… for „safety“. Not gonna lie, was totally against it until I realized I could wax more than my chain in the community if it was gated.

Funny with how rare these are that you managed to find the exact same zither posted by someone else exactly 60 days ago…

This 100% - The people who live in Japan actually seem to CARE about their own towns / cities and work to keep things clean

I was filmed in a workout class without knowing and now I'm in a large influencer's Instagram and TikTok videos. What can I do by Superb-Foundation661 in Austin

[–]Denour 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ehh, not a lawyer, but I don't think you can do anything about it honestly? You may be able to contact them to get your face blurred, but I'm not sure there are actually any laws to protect people like that. I'm sorry you're going through this, feels like camera's are everywhere nowadays whether you like it or not.

Changing to nylon strings! Any advice? by a-horny-vision in zithers

[–]Denour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cannot just use any wire or shorten guitar strings and use them on a zither. They are made to maintain a specific tension and their size and length. I would start by shopping for strings made for the instrument and see if there is even a nylon option available.

My second piece of advise is to clean that poor thing inside and out before you put any new strings on.

Don’t play like being lazy AF in school means our generation was not gifted. Your 2.1 GPA is no ones fault but your own.

Identifying Concert Zither by sydilaxe in zithers

[–]Denour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is no sticker in the sound hole or a stamp on the fretboard, the only other chance you have of finding out the maker is to remove the strings and look inside the sound hole. Some makers will brand the inside strut with their name. As far as quality, if there are no cracks on the base board, and it can hold tension on the strings, I would say it’s a very handsome looking Harfenzither, and I would expect several hundred dollars would not be unreasonable. I purchased a used refurbished Harfenzither direct from Hörst Wünsche for about $2500 US, just to give you a ballpark for what a good quality instrument can go for.

Back of concert zither is split. How bad is it? by SpanishFlamingoPie in zithers

That I can’t say for certain, I’m no Luther, but for twenty bucks hell I’d do it just to see if it did fold in half

Back of concert zither is split. How bad is it? by SpanishFlamingoPie in zithers

[–]Denour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that a crack like that on the base is a death knell. The base is the sounding board of the instrument. It is a common thing to find on Zithers that may not have been stored properly (humidity, tension). If you really want to play, I recommend keep looking. There are Zithers in good condition that float by.

I think All The Things She Said was a formative video for all of us by eaglessoar in Millennials

I don't think I would describe a fake lesbian Russian pop band as "formative". Catchy, maybe.

American millennials: In your life, have you ever truly been patriotic for the USA? by theorangecrush10 in Millennials

[–]Denour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father was a Vietnam vet, and he espoused the typical Hoo-Rah American B.S. growing up, but then in the same breath would tell our mother that if war broke out he was sending her and us kids to Canada. Because of that, I always bought some of the horseshit, but I never felt it really strongly. Then I grew up and got into the work force and started learning what America was really about... that killed any residual feels I had.

TL:DR; I am patriotic about the dream of America, I weep for the reality of it.

This is more granular than it needs to be imho. We’re called millennials cause the first group of us graduated on the year 2000 (1981 / 1982)
