Edit: Thank you, everyone, for providing such great information! Truly, thank you!

I'm looking to buy someone a set of good cookware. Hopefully, I'll have them to gift in time for Christmas. My kitchen consists of a pot, pan, and a rice cooker (probably all from Big Lots or something), so I'm in over my head here.

In talking to people IRL, I've been told Amazon is not a good place for a quality set - which I believe based on mixed reviews of my recent purchases and my own lack of knowledge on what makes a good set. I was also told to search antique stores and consignment shops for pieces. So, I'm doing that without much luck as, again, I'm just out of my depth and it's possible it will take much longer to find enough pieces to make a complete set (between 5 and 9-ish).

Does anyone have recommendations for what I should look for in a good pot/pan? Or, what are some solid brands that someone who loves to cook would be proud to own?

I'm not sure what is a good budget. Is anywhere bet

I'm on 0.27.2 on an Android phone. When I try to view the movie in a web browser or via LibreTube, I get a message that this movie is age-restricted. Just wanna make sure it's not something that's broken for everyone.

Thanks!

I'm using v0.27.1 downloaded from GitHub. I threw Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love as an example URL. Thought it might ease the pain of YT mucking up NP again.

That site allowed musicians to create and upload music and then other musicians could rate, critique, and collaborate on said music. You could even download tunes and I've got SO much great music still on my phone from those artists. And, it was a fun, supportive community.

I apologize for spamming all the Ask Lemmy communities. I can delete if desired. Or, post in a more appropriate community.

I want to purchase another tenor as I've given up on my Bundy and my other will be in the shop for a good while. I found a sax that looks... serviceable? And, it could be the tone I want. But, the stenciling and serial 733XXX kinda makes me believe this isn't a true King Cleveland 615. Maybe one of you have more insight into the history and artistry of these? Is this what the seller says it is? (I might could get more pics if needed.)

If this instrument is what the seller says it is, I'll probably pull the trigger and give it some serious TLC once my other instrument is back in playing shape.

Thanks, all!

But the Supreme Court’s April 12 ruling that they are in the transportation business opens the door for them to take the dispute to court.

That’s because the FAA — in its very first section — exempts from its mandate several types of workers, such as railroad employees and “any other class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce.”

I'm looking for some good reading on how to, eventually, best help be a step parent to my partner's children and NEARLY ALL books are geared toward the woman's perspective as though men don't want to be a strong teacher and develop these kids into healthy adults. Ugh!

Thanks for listening to my rant.

The Lion, The Witch, and the Audacity of This Bitch

In a Newsweek essay, Amy Cooper says her actions were driven by “panic and vulnerability” and blames the Black man she accosted for the incident.

I've got a, possibly 70's-era, Bundy by Selmer. It's been great to start learning on again, but I'd like to jazz it up a bit. I had it set up 10 or 11 months ago with all new pads and corks and etc. It still is nearly a half-step off on many notes, so I'm wondering if there's a different neck and/or mouthpiece or reeds I could buy (maybe not $400 for a mouthpiece, but something) to help with the tones being off. Or, iffn anyone knows if good exercises to correct the bad tones. (I'm 100% willing to accept user error on the bad tonality.)

Thanks all. I appreciate you.

I've tried x-posting the linked URL to the lemm.ee saxophone community via both Jerboa app on Android and via the web. But, both methods fail and I'm wondering why. I read through some of the posts here and the original FAQ post, so I'm wondering am I unable to x-post because accounts aren't migrated between the two instances? And, would that mean I'd need to create a lemm.ee account? Is there another way than that?

Thanks, all.

I guess this could just as easily be posted in an anti-work community

Health insurance really is just another grift.
