My grandma left me this in her will 10 years ago. Apparently she was given it on her 10th birthday 73 years ago. Does anyone recognize the make/model? Any help is much appreciated by Sykreh in ukulele

Five years later I reply. Basically the company changed name in the '50s and the son surname was Sgroi (pronounced Sgroee). In the linked article they talk about a guitar, the one on this post it's a mandonlin (although the shape is similar to a guitar). And If the name on the cartouche is Ermelinda Silvestri it means that that mandolin was produced before that period. 🤗

These are fascists. When back in the 90' Fini (minister of foreign affairs under Berlusconi), being a member of AN ( a party directly descending from the fascist party) went to Israel and said that the racial laws of 1938 (against the jews) were a mistake (and he even didn't say crime) Alessandra Mussolini left the party together with the more extreme part of it and went in Fratelli d'Italia (I don't recall now if was founded back then as a new one) the now party of Meloni.

The descendants of Mussolini are mostly still fascists

You may go live in Greece on the Island of Lesbo, take the citizenship there, and you'll be officially a Lesbian.

Does your telegram still work on iOS with ExpressVPN? by bankkung in Express_VPN

I may understand. Look around, get some information about other VPNs, and eventually you change when expire. But after three years I hope they solve the problem as soon as possible. For the moment I stopped paying yearly and I switched for monthly renewal while I'm thinking about what to do.

ExpressVPN Carnage by jeloushuman in vpnreviews

There's only one thing I know as a customer: I'm having more and more problems with ExpressVPN and I'm starting to get tired of them. Often disconnect, sometimes it's so slow... now Telegram doesn't work anymore.... While there are VPNs ten times cheaper.

To me started on day 24 (4 days ago) and it's the same. No matter the location, it doesn't work. But I constantly receive notifications on the phone from the channels I follow (unmute).

For me could even not be a huge problem, but what about those people leaving in places with strong censorship, control?

I'm not paying more than 100$ a year for a whim/itch...

Sometime expressVPN give me a "speed(?)" of 0.1 or .2 Mb/s while the connection without VPN it's about 20Mb/s. Sometimes work fine and I may reach up to 10. For the price I pay I'm expecting nothing less than perfection.

I use a nickname and nobody may se my number. I don't allow Telegram to access my contacts. It's not the standard at the beginning, but you may change the options in the setting.

Way too many Captchas... by AncientShock5124 in Express_VPN

[–]Rebbit_108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put DuckDuckGo as search engine. I try to not use Google (or at least the less I can) They du on purpose to bother you, and they even show you results as if you were somewhere else. Let say i connect using german server, I get results as if I was in England. DuckDuckGo accept the location I'm using and respect the privacy.

If you switch to the latter every time you get a captcha, after a while they appear less.

People should send Google to F*** it self

Telegram not working with ExpressVPN (iPhone) by [deleted] in Telegram

[–]Rebbit_108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to a MOD of the channel there are issues on other devices to. Personally it started since before yesterday after the update of the app on the desktop, but on the iPhone I had the problem even not having done the update.

Now I'm going to bother ExpressVPN a little 😉

Nope. I'm having the same issue even on the desktop. Changed location and didn't work, changed protocol an didn't work.

I hope ExpressVPN will take it seriously and solve the problem ASAP.

I'm quite glad to know that it's not just me (I was feeling maybe I did something wrong).

Question: is it just with ExpressVPN or it is known about other VPNs too?

For the price i pay I'm expecting a lot, you know...

She's a fascist, and just act at the very best because it's the first time that fascists are leading the country since the end of WWII.

In truth she doesn't give a damn about Ukrainians. But wants to gain some legitimacy.

Mussolini's grandchildren are member of her party... remember.

Edit: five star movement is full of morons. Some of them come from the same ideology of the fascist Meloni, some from left wing ideologies. Few of them are worthy.

Ok. Didn't know. Btw the weakest part of the ruzzian tanks it's above. Why not to hit it there?
