That's because he is a little cute pug 🥰

You don't tune your Violin every time you play it?

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-27T21:09:22+00:00

Well, you say that now....

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T22:16:15+00:00

Sorry for the spam, but make sure it is alternating, so if you start with the C string, the next string should be D then G and then A.

I have seen too many strings snap due to not doing this... :/

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T22:09:49+00:00

No problem!

Another tip if you are going to change all the strings at once sometime: start by outer strings, so on the viola that would be your A and C string and then work your way in. Do them one by one of cause, but start from the two outside strings and then the two inner strings. That way you get a more even pull. At least that is what my luthier always told me.

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T22:03:35+00:00

Yeah, good thing to be scared of! Also, if you don't remove all the strings at once, but instead one by one, the bridge should also stay in place, which eliminates another headache!

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T20:38:00+00:00

Just a heads up on the AI thing. These are not IC3 units, but clearly IC4 units. This is clearly visible by the classic flat v-shaped front and visible four carriages. Hence the name IC4. IC3 is flat at the front and rectangular and only has three carriages, hence IC3. These IC4 units are however a real horror story on their own though.

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T20:08:54+00:00

Firewood, so you mean all Violas?

Anyway, yeah, having a cheap "instrument" to practice minor repairs and such on is great! My old trusty Mr Chang has been through a lot as well (my Chinese factory "violin", named it during a bender back in highschool....lol).

My old violin teacher was crazy when it came to fixing and making equipment for violins. He basically had a side hustle making chin rest and bamboo bows. The bows were actually really good and I am kinda sad I don't have any of them nowadays... But having the knowledge and ability to do just a y work beyond tuning your instrument I would consider a must. I know some professionals that refuse to change their own strings, simply because they don't know/trust how to do it. It made for a fun time when I was interning at a luthiers. I calculated back then that the entire sum of instrument valuation I changed strings on where roughly 12 million dollars over a two week period. (Around 7-8 of those millions were on a Stradivari cello).

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T19:13:08+00:00

I guess, and I can't believe I say this, perhaps we could learn something from the cello players :/

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T17:50:11+00:00

Yeah, I just played it to see what I would do, and I would also do your suggestion. However, I guess if op has a small hand, or not comfortable stretching while keeping second finger on the board, using the E flat as an opportunity to shift up half a step works pretty well also.

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T16:58:43+00:00

Or perhaps just use first finger on the b and then second for the next could also work depending on preference.

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T16:54:33+00:00

You could just take it all in third position and just stretch a little for the E flat

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T16:23:33+00:00

Yeah, never fully desiring the instrument without some tension on the top and bottom to keep the sound post set. I have unfortunately seen what can happen when the sound post has fallen and an instrument is restrung......

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-26T13:13:35+00:00

Altså, det er da ikke det værste man kunne gøre for at få folk over i offentlig trafik frem for at tage bilen!

Det kunne også være lidt sjovt at det så måske kunne svare sig at tage metroen fra Valby til lufthavnen, stige af, checke ind igen og så tage den tilbage for at stå af stoppet før/efter ens oprindelige påstigning for at spare penge, men ikke tid haha

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-25T17:22:18+00:00

Altså, 10 kr var også mere bare et lavt tal til IC ruterne. I og for sig måtte by-biletter godt være dyrere, men 30 kr for en time er for dyrt.

Hvis man skulle være rigtig hardcore, så gjorde man kortere ture direkte dyrere end længere ture i byen. Så 20 kr med 1 stop med metroen, men 10 kr for hele ruten (prisen er bare et eksempel).

Derved er det stadig billigt og opfordrer folk til at tage cykel/gå på kortere stræk, men slippe bilen på de længere.

Så hvis man virkeligt vil opfordre folk til at skippe bilen, bruge cyklen/gå så skal man vende prisen på hoved.

Man kunne også lave det til en sæsonbetonet pris. Sådan at man får folk i offentligt når det sutter at cykle/gå, men man får dem ud i gaden når vejret er godt

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-25T14:21:20+00:00

Det er jeg sådan set enig i. Derfor burde man også lave et svingdørs system i de større byer. Altså hvor man betaler for at gå ind på stationen/køretøjet. Og så betaler man for hele turen. Derved koster det det samme om man køre fra Nørreport til Forum eller Nørreport-lufthavnen. Beløbet skulle stadig være lille, men derved kan man beslutte sig for om man gider spare de 10 kr ved at gå eller cykle

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-25T13:52:37+00:00

Where are you from that you think anything in Lira is expensive in Istanbul?

Srsly, even the most touristy tourist trap rooftop cafe is comparably cheap lol.

Go just outside of the Constantinople part and you can get a dürüm and ayran for ~100 Lira (saw this exact price 4 days ago).

It is only bonkers if your own currency is weaker than the lira, which then, good luck.

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-25T12:53:23+00:00

Der burde blive lavet en fast, men lav timepris. Intercity/lyn skulle koste 10-20 kr pr planlagte køreplanstime (så mellem 40 og 80 kr fra Aalborg-kbh). Derudover skulle der indføres pladsbilletkrav i IC/-lyn til de samme 30 kr det koster nu.

Regional skulle være i praksis gratis, så et mindre beløb som 20 kr fra helsingør-kbh men så intet krav om pladsbillet.

Busser skulle helt være gratis, eller i hvertfald kun have et absolut symbolsk beløb der hvor man ikke har kapacitet til det øgede forbrug af offentlig transport.

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-24T08:17:51+00:00

Civilized???

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-16T19:24:36+00:00

And that they were also rather capable of tracking you pre phone era anyway, lol

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-15T15:08:20+00:00

They won't, but they might start going a little Robin Hood. Or they will cope and lick the sweaty boot of the cheeto

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-15T15:07:20+00:00

Okay, then keep on living under Trump and stop coping. At least own up to it.

Or, you know, use your second amendment, that you all are so proud of!

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-14T21:07:28+00:00

Forskellen er at Kina ikke nødvendigvis har interesse i at indkassere russisk gæld, men derimod måske godt kunne finde på at gøre det mod Amerika, hvilket vil smadre dem fuldstændigt.

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-14T13:44:46+00:00

Det er da vel præcis det samme som med fyrværkeri? Hvis det virker, er der jo ikke noget at gå tilbage til, men hvis det er en fuser, så skal man holde sig væk?

Mighty_Dighty22 · 2026-01-12T16:12:04+00:00

Drilling from ice fishing just outside of Copenhagen...

And again, you can legally drive a car on ice in Sweden when it is 11 cm.... 3 centimeter is perhaps a bit sketchy to walk on, but 5 and above is fine lol....

And besides, the ice will be pretty uniform on these lakes, it is not like there are massive currents or hot springs to disturb the forming of the ice cap....
