Found the German, lol.

Dammit, I tried so hard to hide it. :D

This was a helluva ride!

THAT is the way!

Oh nooo, was the hippo OK?

Fuck that’s funny!

How so? Age wise, motor skills, character, lacking musical education, …? WDYM?

it’s got some deal breakers

No doubt, and being used by a horde of kids is probably the toughest thing instruments have to ensure

I got my acoustic guitar for incredibly cheap 35,-€, so at least price can be overcome. And, reading the thread, it seems that the recorder has spoiled learning/playing an instrument for quite a few people, so one could argue that it’s a failed investment, even at a low price point.

Can’t say anything on the pedagogical side of things, I chose a job where I don’t have to meet people all the time, let alone children.

Eh, I played both for a while (never became good, but that’s not the point), and I always found Ukulele chords awkward and confusing even on the lower frets, while Guitar came more natural to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was due to the lack of musical education and professional training though. Oh, and my Ukulele was tuned ADF#H…

And mine.

Guitar. Learn 3-4 chords and you can play half of the songs out there. Easy to begin with, hard to master.

Alternatively, Ukulele. Just 4 strings, and smaller, so more suitable for small children, though the chords seem to be more complicated.

Upvote for this guy loving his wife very much, specifically. It really is plenty, isn’t it?

(If I didn’t have that point to make, this comment would have been a “that guy’s wife’s pussy is plenty for me as well” joke.)

I have a dog that I walk every day for >10 years, and I can’t say walking in and of itself has changed my life in any significant way. Good shoes, however, massively have.

Same!

I also like the idea that if we were to explode from exhaustion spontaneously, we wouldn’t try to go above and beyond our own borders in order to meet unrealistic expectations.

TIFF 6 and MKV/FFV1v3. Both great for digital preservation.

I have no reason not to.

I’m afraid renaming won’t happen until 2620.

Eastern part of Germany here. The closest grocery stores are about 2,5km away from my home, but we live a little more rural than most of the people in the thread. I don’t walk that distance for groceries, because they don’t allow dogs in, but one of the supermarkets has a DIY store right next to it, and I do walk there to get smaller items and have a nice walk with my doggo.

Like an animal.

Yep, clearly chaotic good.
