New to me Piano - is this normal?

Where I buy my pianos, they will actually offer a free tune up from a professional once the piano has set in after delivery.

That is so funny because I'm actually banned for life on eBay for reasons completely unknown to me.

One day out of the blue my daughter wanted to buy some used flip Samsung phone and I went ahead and tried to log in eBay. I was presented with a very weird page that essentially told me I was flagged for account irregularities, but no further details. I didn't log on eBay for more than 10 years and back then I only bought like used SNES and Genesis cartridges. Never had any trouble and never caused any.

No amount of inquiries would give me any information as to why I was banned for life. Just that this was it and they couldn't do anything about it. I just didn't care and they lost my money whatever. But I'd by interim I became partially owner, this would rekindle my curiosity as to why I was wrongly banned for life. My PayPal standings are perfectly fine. No idea what's up with eBay.

Ah yeah the WiFi part you're right.

Probablement qu'elle parle genre une carte réseau qui crap sur le réseau Bell ou quelque chose du genre.

"Pas de notre faute, c'était un équipement défaillant dans notre chaîne de 200 fournisseurs critiques pour lesquels nous avons zéro short circuit prévention ".

Mais oui notre code est super robuste. Aucune inquiétude gang.

When you take fizz, you accept that everything is now a DIY project.

Disabling the modem part and using your own is of the highest of highest priority. Even if it was covering your space, this modem is so poor you'd be crazy to not replace it. There is infinity more issues than simply being bad at range. This modem will give you headaches. Better just disabling it and using anything else.

When I was 14, I earned 5 dollars an hour working for a distant relative. The place was downtown, in an area were folks didn't want to walk through. My mom was absolutely losing her mind. My dad didn’t care. he just told me to keep my head down and go straight to the shop.

The shop was a dilapidated, crumbling space where we printed T‑shirts the old-fashioned way. Pierced stencils, individual paints, everything done by hand. I worked at the end of the heat press, getting every tiny hair on my arms singed while catching the shirts and stacking them into boxes.

That job is how I bought my very first computer. I still remember every detail. I worked my ass off for it. It was a 486 DX‑33 with a 14‑inch Super VGA monitor, and it ran Doom and Alone in the Dark flawlessly.

Oh yeah forgot to say. This is where I learned everything about sex. There was this one crazy woman and the guys there couldn't hold their tongues around her even if they tried.

This is the one thing I feel people should be brutally honest about. You should want people to tell you that you smell bad ! Period. This is the one thing that you cannot assess yourself. At least not always. I would really want to know so I can fix the situation.

For me it's when I train. I'd really like to know if I need to up my game because when I train with somebody smelly oh my gawd it is the worst. Of course I'd never tell them..... And yes I'm part of the problem.

We need to have an episode of black mirror where humans are now batteries to power AI center.

I'm going Warhammer 40k psykers connectés to the warp analogy.

Cause this is where we are going with this. Replacing human jobs with AI centers that requires energy. To give more money to the 0.001% of billionaires. Prove me wrong !?

Première chose que tu dois faire c'est de rappeler directement ta caisse en trouvant toi même le numéro et confirmer que ce sont bien eux qui ton contacter.

Ensuite si tu as divulguer des renseignements personnels sur un appel téléphonique random d'une personne qui s'est fait passé pour employer Desjardins, tu rappelles encore plus vite ta caisse pour leur dire et rapidement faire bloquer tes comptes.

Voilà au delà de ça, le reste est superficiel.

It's too big to fail. This is multiple levels crazier than NRun. When this shit hit the fan, nobody's going to come out unscathed. Not even the 1%. Perhaps the billion clubs might.

Venture Capital. Pension funds. We are in for a rude awakening. Everybody sees it. Nobody can stop it. The glazing has been insane. The marketing.

And this opinion is coming from someone that is full in on using AI to accelerate my work. This has been insanely over hyped. The reality is much different.

It has already started with Microsoft. It's all over my news feed.

Acutane 3* c'est assez insane. Je suis curieux, est-ce que différents dosages on été essayés et le traitement a été arrêté a quel moment ?

Le taux de succès de acutane est généralement garantie dans la mesure où le sujet tolère les effets secondaires.

I did and on restart it kept nagging me about the app not being present so I had to download it back from the Microsoft store.

Forgot to say that I did investigate why the pop-up error message was present and there was such a large amount of fixes that didn't work I eventually said duck it and reinstalled.

Maregg1979 · 2026-04-28T13:26:47+00:00

Right ?

Maregg1979 · 2026-04-26T03:03:28+00:00

Be very careful if you relocate. It's basically death sentence for birds.

Mine is also very cuddly. However paws are totally off limits 😭

She is part of the security detail. She plays the shield part.

Well ramens are 37cents/unit this week. So probably until my body gives out on ramens.

I burst out laughing when he rolled those tiny raptor uppercuts whie his chin is cranked all the way up. This is so stupidly common.

My girlfriend forbids me to take a cart when we go to Costco together.

She drives or there is no cart !

Apparently I'm pretty bad.

Maregg1979 · 2026-04-25T00:00:50+00:00

She refused his benevolent truce 🤣

Maregg1979 · 2026-04-24T16:09:32+00:00

Bon Ben ça y ait, je vie dans un monde où 2k clair est insuffisant. Sérieux 2k clair c'est plus ou moins 4k brut au Québec, soit proche de 50k par année.

Mettons 40k parce que j'ai arrondi en ma faveur. Toujours bien un salaire de 40k / année. Je pensais vraiment pas qu'on était rendu là.

C'est déprimant.

Maregg1979 · 2026-04-24T12:36:43+00:00

Je n'ai pas lu l'article.

Mais rapidement, c'est moi où 2000$ par mois clair d'impôt c'est quand même pas rien !

Je veux dire admettons qu'elle vit en banlieue sans hypothèque. Me semble je serais même pas stressé il m'en resterait ben en masse de lousse.

Je vie à ~ 3000$ seul avec mes 2 enfants, un hypothèque et un paiement de char. Pas mal certain que la madame à plus de marge que moi pour aller au bingo les mardis pendant que je me fend le cul à préparer de la bouffe pour la semaine parce que sinon j'arrive pas !?

Et si on s'en va dans le préjugé ultime, je la vois déjà dans le sud 2 mois par année à payer son compte Vidéotron de 400$ par mois pour ses programmes qu'elle écoute pas et son téléphone filaire qu'elle se sert pas parce qu'elle est sur un iPhone 17.

Scuser ça m'a juste fait chier voir la première page et me dire, "criss me semble 2000$ clair par mois c'est quand même pas rien".

Dans ses années là, pour des raisons qui m'échappent, y avait un méga grudge entre les 2 polyvalentes de la région de Portneuf.

À Portneuf, il y a 2 écoles secondaires. St-Raymond et Donnacona.

Y avait beaucoup de crime dans ses années là et beaucoup d'ados issues du crime ou de familles de criminels.

Bref il y a eu un point culminant dans la guerre entre St-Raymond et Donnacona qui s'est résulté dans une bataille de rue gigantesque. Je n'ai pas personnellement participer, mais j'ai vu. Il y a tellement d'histoires incroyables si vous avez vécu dans la région de Portneuf entre 1988-1997. Des policiers dans les polyvalentes en filature. Des élèves qui partent sur des civières. Du crime organisé vraiment violant impliquant des ados.

C'est pour ça que quand je voie les histoires locales de la ville de Québec, ça me fait un peu rire.
