Only phase 2 trial, but still hopeful.

Sometimes it will, but I've had a few times where it didn't.

When I was in Germany nobody tried to talk Spanish to me. When I was in sweden they didn't either. nor did they in India. If you are to be well traveled you quickly learn to find English speakes everywhere - because that is the language of travel it is enough. A second language is only useful if you limit your travels to the area they speak it.

many kids in foreign countries take years of english but they can't speak is. Those who thy speak it well and they stick in groups thus not knowing how bad the rest of the class really is.

Really frsterating when I have an idea that seems good and ai says it is good - but in real world testing we discover it doesn't work and can't be made to work. I want someone to push back when I'm wrong - 'yes men' are not helpful

are the thinese cars poor quality - it will take 5-10 years to find out, but toyota can't afford to give up their reputation.

Maybe slightly - but you are a fool if you test this.

The US doesn't want to. a few people do and they temporarly have power but most don't care much so long as ' our boys' are okay

Firefox doesn't always generate a password for me. I have never figured out when/why but sometimes it won't

That doesn't establish a cause though. well off parents teach their kids to value education.

America is a big country. The schools in Finland are different from the schools in Italy.

In the Des Moines area all the difference schools share the same funding. Some schools are still vastly better than others.

As I've said before the largest factor seems to be parents that don't value education teach their kids to not learn much in school.

 

My wife is complaining that we have music all over the living room all the time. With a couple kids in music lessons, school bands (regular, jazz), orchestra, and such a practice session often needs 6 books and 5 loose pages of music so I can't blame her for being frustrated. There is no easy way to store all that and find what you need for the current daily practice sessions.

Putting a tablet (suggestions? schools gives the kids an iPad, and I'm looking at pinetab2, or boox for me) on a stand seems easy enough, but then what?

Mobile sheets seems to be what others around me use, so probably what I'd end up doing too, though I'm not locked to anything. Any other software that I should be looking at? I do like the idea that we can synchronize page turning.

The hard part is getting all my music onto my NAS. Do I just scan all my books? Buy again as PDF (only rarely an option). Entry the music into some other program? I have some sheet music I want to put into lilypond - is there anything that would sync my tablets to a rendered version of this.

I already have Jellyfin and I see book options (but have not used it yet). Calibri-web also comes up often for books. Both seem book reading focused and music flows / organization is different. Anything else I might want to put on my servers that might be better?

Any other thoughts? What have others done that works?
