ElectricPuppy

Way back when, I was ElectricPuppy.

Oh, wait, I'm still ElectricPuppy.  😜

I leave my stuff on alot, too, mainly due to lazy. I like having things working just as I left them. But, as Mate says, if it's new I purposefully leave it on to make sure that if it's gonna fail, it'll fail in warranty.

Actually, the worst damage you can do is to the tuning peg block. If you screw up a tuning peg hole, the piano is toast.

IMHO, part of the joy of real piano ownership is the twice-annual visit from the tech. He takes real good care of it, well worth the money.

Once tuned, even the best pianos start to go out of tune; Just how badly/quickly depends on not jsut the piano, but how it's been tuned in the past, how frequently it's retuned, and environmental conditions. Swings in temperature and humidity will make matters worse.

I find that on my own piano, which I keep in a house that's generally stable temperature and humidity wise, still goes noticibly out of tune after a couple of months, and by the time the tech is on it again, it REALLY needs it. But then, I'm picky. Also, it seems that it's going longer now before it gets bad. It's still a young piano.

Generally, yes.

I have not seen Pighood, although he DID post a comment over at Matrixsynth lately, so maybe he's lurking around, all undercover and stuff.

Good thing I'm not in Singapore or I'd be caned!

Don't have to go all the way to Singapore; Just give Purity a ring.

You know as well as us that they can't show him that stuff. Two words: "Plausible denyability".

This is EXACTLY what I've been saying myself for a while now.

Yeah, this Prop 8 thing is embarrassing. How can people want to deny other people the same rights they enjoy? How does it hurt them to allow gays to marry? It's just not right.

Only 3 more pages? You guys are slackin'.

can it be lulz tiem nao?

I'm going to bed. I predict 8 pages to spew between this post and my next post tomorrow.

'Night!

Awww piggie, don't be like that. You get to enjoy it with us!

I just saw that. That makes it pretty final, eh?

So I see. I'd kinda like to more more definite numbers, but it looks good for Obama. Good for him.

Looks like chicago's going nuts. lulz.

yeah- one of these days I am going to get my picture in the paper when my Xenosaga Cosplay rips and my ass falls out in public- by the way- I am a 6'3" 350 lb

I was gonna try to make light of this and say, "proof there is no god", but now I dunno... is that stepping over the line?

Oh wait... {censored}.

(I keed. You know I keed, right? right? :poke: Besides, it fits in the whole godless-setAI thing here... oh never mind)

yeah- one of these days I am going to get my picture in the paper when my Xenosaga Cosplay rips and my ass falls out in public-

The visuals... they burn...!

Hm, obviously I called it a bit too early before. So, NOW can it be nasty name calling time?

Isn't this usually about the point where the political/religious threads turn into a nasty name fest?

{censored}socks.

But the googles do nothing!

Ooh! Ooh! I did. Last week. Hooray for early voting!

Obama, No on 8 (California). If 8 passes, I'll be seriously embarrassed for all of California. Unfortunately, I think it'll be close.

Sorry... can't hear you.

*points to tin-foil hat*

Hell, man, you ALL scare the living {censored} out of me!

Now go vote your conscience and get off my lawn, kthx.
