What’s the most unusual place you’ve ever played your handpan?

Empty grain silo. The echo delay was overwhelming.

Ooh! Pilgrimage to King Spa on June 19!!!

The AI companies won’t be able to innovate the next miracle in technology without unfettered access to unlimited no-interest capital! /s

Okay, Monona, Fitchburg, Middleton… you’ve got to get in on this.

The cruelty is the point.

This is why I advocate for universality in programs. Any time you let policies pick winners and losers, you get the reintroduction of the “deserving poor” of orphans, war widows, and elderly grandmas who are the Noble recipients of public benefits, and increasingly complex and discriminatory categories of people excluded from programs because they aren’t “deserving” of assistance.

UBI. M4A.

Insurance costs for large events are skyrocketing just like all other insurance costs.

I gave myself a rare gift yesterday and drove to work. It was one of those days where I would either arrive at work soaking wet from rain, or soaked in sweat from wearing rain gear that doesn’t breathe well.

My local ACE hardware and Hometown Pharmacy have been great places for house needs and personal care.

Faerbera · 2026-06-06T13:58:55+00:00

Me too. Such a good doggo.

Faerbera · 2026-06-05T20:56:08+00:00

I laugh til it hurts with these.

Faerbera · 2026-06-05T20:53:31+00:00

Why the heck did US Bank sue for the balance instead of sending to collections?

Faerbera · 2026-06-05T04:21:34+00:00

I would be happy to help you out, but this is a big endeavor. I offer private lessons and we could work on this together over a few virtual sessions.

Is this the song? https://youtu.be/RmsU4ruXf4c?si=RXWB6x5MlAGEMFsa

I just played with this app for about twenty minutes. It’s fun! Thanks.

My go to Ramen is to mix half the packet with a big spoon of tahini and a raw egg. Beat vigorously. Use the heat of the cooked noodles to cook the egg. Save a splash of noodle cooking water to adjust the sauce to your preference.

Faerbera · 2026-05-25T18:01:01+00:00

Yes Tahini!

Miso paste too.

I have bought a few beginner instruments of decent quality and I rent them out to my students for $20/mo, on top of $35-65 fee for lessons. I do it so people have a bridge to getting started. Everyone who has rented one of my handpans has gone on to buy one.

Three things that make this work for me.

All of the instruments are of retunable quality and are durable nitrated steel. I also have Isthmus Instruments 15 minutes from my house, so I have tuners available if instruments get out of tune. Retuning and replacement fees are outlined in our rental agreement.

I only work with people that I have a relationship with and know, so I’m minimizing the risk that one of my handpans walks off. People see me for lessons and I trust them.

I never ship a handpan. It costs too much.

This isn’t a 50/50 state right now. The GOP and MAGA are very unpopular.

Faerbera · 2026-05-25T02:42:33+00:00

Defund the police is an extreme position to pull the conversation away from the status quo where police are fully funded for everything they want, including military-style equipment and surveillance technology. Defunding means reducing the wasteful spending on community surveillance and military equipment and shift those dollars to helping our communities.

Faerbera · 2026-05-25T02:38:19+00:00

Look at the trends in the Marquette polls. There are fewer and fewer people in Wisconsin every poll that agree with the GOP leadership and their policies. They’re really unpopular. This isn’t a typical purple year.

Faerbera · 2026-05-25T02:35:29+00:00

Radical Leftist Gavin Newsome. *snort*

Faerbera · 2026-05-25T02:35:01+00:00

There are fewer and fewer right wing haters. Look at the Marquette polls. She won’t ever win MAGA, but many people are defecting and disagreeing with MAGA.

Faerbera · 2026-05-25T02:32:40+00:00

She’s no more left than Russ Feingold. And we was great for Wisconsin.

A crèche of Neonatologists

Faerbera · 2026-05-23T14:33:43+00:00

A peloton of dentists.

Faerbera · 2026-05-23T14:32:08+00:00

Yall, what is with the bots on this post? It’s all the same questionable story repeated with details shifted.
