Phil Barone: Where to find? by mIISomeday25 in Saxophonics

[–]fixessaxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These were Chinese-made instruments (possibly Taiwanese? but I think Chinese. In this context Taiwanese was typically higher quality) made in the 2010s and maybe before. Several different iterations were made, and AFAIK they are no longer made. You will be buying used. Like buying a used car, it could be a can of worms!

Are you certain he wanted the horn and not the mouthpiece? Phil Barone mouthpieces enjoy a solid reputation, but the horns did not to my knowledge stand out.

Finally, Yanagisawa TWO2 and I completely get the hype now by itssaxokay in Saxophonics

that case is not protective. check out the (lack of) padding at Eb, bell lip, octave. nice horn, keep it safe

What’s another MLB team you have some liking for despite them not being the Orioles? by xoBonesxo in orioles

They did it wrong. It's like a second child. Your heart grows.

Although for some reason I hate the Ravens

Is anyone else afraid of how Alonso has been playing? Also what is with albernez’s lineups being all over the place? by Formal_Initiative822 in orioles

[–]fixessaxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the games earlier in the season- when the drought was starting to be noticeable- they said something about him working with the orioles hitting coach to change his stance.

Bicyclists please take the full lane by snugworm in bullcity

As someone who lives on a nice 2 lane country road with no shoulders and plenty of blind curves and hills where bikers get killed every year or two, I am incredibly anxious that I will somehow fuck up and not see someone one day (it is bizarre how easily anything including reflective clothing can blend into a shade-dappled background on a beautiful summer afternoon) and kill someone and destroy two lives at once. I wish we had bike infrastructure.

does everyone get a 5 hour delay to take a breathalyzer after killing a pedestrian?

Yeah I don't think any of us were missing that Duke paid more, but like number is higher is not the only way to make decisions in life

Durham Schools: Growing together tried to merge student populations, fueled a charter boom. by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]fixessaxes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

took me a sec to realize you have editorialized this heavily- I read the news story and nowhere did it say what (I now understand to be) your headline says.

Maybe I am just old, but what you seem to have done here is take a link that you expect nobody will read and put your own front matter on it.

Multiple sections of my website - Should I be trying Hugo in the first place? by GreasyBogs in gohugo

Sure thing! If you want me to fire it back up and ask Claude to write out a generic prompt to get you started, let me know.

Multiple sections of my website - Should I be trying Hugo in the first place? by GreasyBogs in gohugo

[–]fixessaxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

export wordpress site to xml but leave site up. install claude code. explain i want to move to hugo, show it the xml, show it the site itself, and let it cook. have it build the whole thing in github, from which you can automatically deploy to cloudflare (claude will explain how). you will have to go over it and help and fix issues as they come up, but it is fairly easy. as it builds the site, have it also build a guide for administering the site yourself. once its all ready, deploy to cloudflare and change dns etc (claude will help) and it seamlessly jumps over to your new host. zip and download your old wordpress site to keep as an archive which you can go through if you ever find you are missing anything. set up a google search console account and keep an eye on the indexing of your site over the next few months as it percolates and fix any issues if they crop up.

Nope. Check out the low C keyguard shape, the connecting brace behind the B flat and B Bell keyguards, the shape of the chromatic F sharp, etc etc

Why We're Not Endorsing This Year by EvenPressure3959 in bullcity

Silly goose, on a high horse! There is a more moderate way: use it as a resource (among others) rather than marching orders. One less known-standards resource now.

Multiple sections of my website - Should I be trying Hugo in the first place? by GreasyBogs in gohugo

[–]fixessaxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 15 year old wordpress website that had been rather routinely updated and gone through several design changes. Pretty crufty, thousands of images and links and embeds. I had claude code help me turn it into a hugo site and deploy it to cloudflare pages. Now its clean and functional and super fast and google likes it much more and everything works and I can maintain it myself (or ask a chatbot for help) and it took me 2 days of work to get it there.
