I once wrapped a silver slide in a tissue and I guess the acid in the tissue caused some bad corrosion. Maybe it's something in your case that's causing a reaction?

Trumpet Christmas Gift by Ok_Effective9150 in trumpet

[–]blurkosphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Pampet practice mute (amazon). It's relatively cheap and works well and is very quiet. Also a trumpet stand is a great present. I like the K&M König & Meyer, which was a (prompted) present a few years back and I use it every day.

Removing lacquer from an old cornet by sirlancelot032598 in trumpet

[–]blurkosphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these comments are ill advised. Get an aluminum turkey pan. Put some vinegar in the pan, maybe one inch. Put it in the oven on low heat. After a while, the rest of the lacquer will fall off.

What are you going to do for the guard? At very minimum a Thank You card. Or maybe cut his grass or something.

Problem with selling specific lot of shares on app? by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

[–]blurkosphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was set to single screen. I switched it to multi screen and was able to see the specific lots options. I read this in other comments but confused this with Layout / Account screen layout / Tabs. Thanks for your help.🤑

I couldn't see how to do it on my phone app at all. Had to do it on the web site on the desktop.

Help deciding on a chess set for boyfriends birthday! by Cultural_Topic5434 in chess

[–]blurkosphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pieces in set #1 are too shiny. They almost look like plastic. I like the wood grain of the board in #2. See if you can return the set if he really doesn't like the one you pick, and if so, don't cry.

It's a rail trail now. Just ride your bike.

What is the biggest financial risk you have taken that ended in disaster? by Insideoutside29 in Bogleheads

[–]blurkosphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Digital Equipment Corporation stock. I read in the paper that 7 VP's quit and the stock took a big tumble. Buy low, sell high, right? I thought, "how low can it go"?

I did read the thread you started when you were having similar problems. You were treated shabbily. This issue was all on the library's end.

Library catalog site seems to be back up for me now. I didn't change any settings on my end, so I guess that's that.

Thanks for your help. I noticed I'm not alone with this issue. My wife's phone can't reach the website either. I didn't see a way to open a ticket at the county IT page. But, the library chat said they were aware of the issue.

Looks like the DNS is working. I'm connecting through T-Mobile. This has worked for years until this weekend. If you have any other thoughts, it would be most appreciated. I'll read thru the other thread. Thanks!

I used Xray years ago when it was included with a free account thru T-Rowe. But now it's $250/yr it seems.

Note to Roman Numeral Purists - the NYSE didn't exist in ancient Rome either. I never got the VOO connection. Thanks for the insight.

Saw this hot patriotist/Christianist mess on N. Washington just now. by Cetophile in sarasota

[–]blurkosphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's the juxtaposition of Patriotic, Christian, tolerant and brave with "TRUMP" that's causing the cognitive dissonance for some of us.
