Nothing yet. After identifying and resolving my issue, I listened to about 2 minutes of music and called it a night. I need to spend a bit more time.

I see ~~, thank you for the reply.

Mowing the roof must be a real pain. :thinking:

So, that depends. If you get a lager it will be cold, as will Guinness. Real ales and best Bitters are best drunk cellar cool, you will actually get more flavour that way. If it's a hot day, you get a cold lager. But it is the UK, not so many hot days.

Even after living here for over a decade, I'm still unconvinced by the American obsession with always having everything ice cold to the point you can't taste it. Some people even chill red wine. You suggest that to someone French and they will shudder.
I drink mostly IPAs but do include a fair amount of lagers. I usually take the bulk of an hour to sip my way through an ale, and they will definitely run from fridge-cold to almost room temp by the time I'm done. I like different aspects of those beers at each temperature, but yes, the big Double or Triple IPA hazies I tend towards do open up their flavors as they warm. I dig that.

Lagers I want cold and crisp, though.

Also known as the musician's friend. Not a joke.
Better than duct tape is gaffer tape:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_tape

I never heard of it until I retired and started working as a volunteer sound tech for a children's theater. Costs 2 to 3 times as much as duct tape, but performs so much better! The medical grade adhesive can be used on skin (look up the tale told by Carrie Fischer about her role in the first Star Wars movie.) And because it pulls off cleanly, it can be used on costumes.

Cheers, Jim

Gaffer's tape works well in the stereo room too.

I use it to mark speaker locations on the hardwood floor, and to disable turntable platters when doing cartridge alignment & tonearm adjustments. It's great stuff!

I should try this! One of my cats (Noah) has a fetish for glue/sticky stuff. He chews my painter's tape marking my speaker location on the hard wood floor. We have to secure the mail because he likes the envelopes.

Where do you see the fiber? Looks like it's 100% wireless to me.

The sale is contingent upon fiber installation and goat cleanup service contract. :smile:

For that, you need 3M VHB tape. Amazing stuff. When applied properly between two pieces of metal it can replace welding in many applications. But I still don’t want to fly in a helicopter that’s been taped together regardless of the tape. :smile:
You don't duct tape your cardboard creations together?
