A few months ago, I would have agreed with you. I own 3 hifiberry products and they are indeed awesome. Their own OS is great and they also worked very well with other software. But then I bought a couple WiiM minis. While it’s fun to hack around with the pi, the WiiM just works and it does a couple things I could never get the pi to do. In particular, Qobuz streaming in high def and synchronized multi-room streaming.

Canadians have garbage cans. USians have trash cans. Just the way it is…

Well look at the size of her frickin lawn. She must have to mow 24x7. Eventually a hawk was bound to drop a snake on her. It was just a matter of time.

The question is which direction is it facing?

It’s a silver beach. They are usually planted in front of grand estates and after 100 years, they have a huge crown and massive trunk. There’s no way this is coming back.

As the spouse of a singing teacher… Take lessons from a trained professional (someone that has a degree in vocal pedagogy and / or vocal performance) and practice regularly. Don’t expect to be amazing overnight. It may take years of lessons and daily practicing to just get to a level where people don’t cringe when you try to sing something.

My son suggests Arboretum. It’s a strategy card game that is deceptively simple.

Yeah, this is a thread for old farts. I’ll confess that I signed up for Columbia House back before CDs. Got 10 records for a penny and had to commit to buy 5 more over the next year. Each month, there was a “selection of the month” announced and if your didn’t respond within the required amount of time, it would show up at your door and you were stuck with the bill and the record. This is why many of the records you find on the used market are “club editions” that lack many of the more expensive features like gatefold covers.

It was probably a Wheelwriter that you remember: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Wheelwriter

Definitely some Mr. Peanut Butter material right there!
