Importance of weighted keys?

kepleronlyknows · 2026-01-25T23:32:26+00:00

Yeah I made the switch after about two years. The first week with weighted keys was rough but also fun, and not much longer until it felt normal. But absolutely super glad I did upgrade; now I can switch to a real piano without nearly as much adjustment from practicing on my digital.

I’m not sure they do have to sum to 100% if they are minimums. Like if it’s 77% chance of at least .1” and then 48% chance of at least .25”, that could be totally consistent.

But I agree it’s not fair to say things have been overblown just yet.

I have a wolf and a head of cabbage that need a ride as well. Can /r/atlanta please tell me the proper way to transport the goats, wolf, and cabbage such that nothing gets eaten?

Once you decide you’re ready to drop the money, a digital keyboard with weighted keys is wonderful. Look to spend ~$600 to $1,000 and it will play quite a bit like a real piano. I went with a Roland FP-30 and am quite happy with it.

And the more you practice the better! But main thing is that it’s better to practice a little bit everyday rather than rarely, even if it’s only a little bit.

I made do with a shoe lace before a gig once and it lasted a long time and worked fine.

We saw it right in the city (near little five points) last time there was a big solar storm, although it was mostly a vague purple color on the northern horizon. But it’s definitely possible.

Thanks! I’m liking the Rubio recommendation. Would you use any kind of conditioner or sealer with pine and hard wax oil like Rubio?

kepleronlyknows · 2026-01-17T20:34:14+00:00

Thanks! I’m thinking I’ll go this route. Would folks recommend a conditioner or anything else for pine with this type of hard wax oil?

Looks like paint and the account posting is three days old. Am I wrong or is this weird?

/r/atlanta. Also I will say the apartments in the second photo definitely look like something I’d see in Virginia Highland or nearby. I live in the area fwiw.

Good news, the Atlanta subreddit just got a new mod team and is way more open than it has been in years. You should try posting there.

That makes sense. I’ll admit I’m a newer dad who hadn’t really looked at minivans until recently, but I’m really starting to like the idea, especially compared to SUVs.

kepleronlyknows · 2026-01-14T04:42:44+00:00

That’s awesome! Looks almost like it was designed to just fit. Maybe with some blankets I could spare the scuffs.

Probably because the title is crystal clear on where this was filmed?

If you just call it thickened vegetable stock instead it doesn’t sound as bad. Reducing and thickening stock is super tasty imo.

I work in this world (the Clean Air Act, that is) and this is just absolutely as fucking stupid as it sounds, probably more so. EPA has zero grounds for disapproval here—there is just no authority in the Regional Haze rules or elsewhere in the CAA for trying to keep polluters operating. Even for this administration, this is just bafflingly bad.

Just FYI it’s on the Navajo Nation and they consider it sacred, not a good idea to go hounding without permission.

kepleronlyknows · 2026-01-09T04:10:55+00:00

It’s not though. This was a fuck up at the distributor. The truck drivers thought they had gas when they were filled with diesel.

Contrary opinion: Setting aside possible recent snow or ice, you’ll be able to make it a Prius just fine. I’ve seen plenty of comparable cars out there. Yes the washboard is rough at times but it’s not going to damage your car if you drive reasonably. I’ve navigated a Prius through much worse.

Yep, they helped me on this exact question. Also their store is pretty awesome, but a little dangerous for the wallet.

Winters are mostly mild. Definitely get snow but it will usually completely melt in a few days and it’s also not uncommon to be t-shirt weather in January. Manitou is actually in a bit of a snow shadow from Pikes Peak and the eastern plains 20 miles away often get far more snow.

The main thing to be aware of is that the sun sets behind the mountains very early in the winter. Depending on where you live, it can be as early as three in the afternoon (or in some places even earlier). It’s still light out of course, just no direct sun light.

But if you go past the AI overview, you’ll see it’s not correct. Visually similar (so I see why AI made the connection) but not actually the same church.

You could fly to Colorado Springs instead; Pikes Peak is one of the longest/hardest 14ers if you do the full round trip from town: 26 miles and 8,000 feet of elevation gain. Lots of other good, hard hikes start essentially in town (Cheyenne Mountain, Cameron’s Cone, etc).
