@SrRochardBunson For noters, any bit of hardwood will work pretty well. My grandfather made them for my grandmother out of scraps from his woodworking that I still use sometimes. Also capos, but those haven't aged as well.

I was urging someone younger today to really appreciate the regional accents of the old folks around them, because after tv and other media spread, accents started to die and our generation will pretty much live to see the end of them.

What's going on here? The matplotlib maintainer this story is about correctly notes that all the quotes from his post in the article are made up.

@mathias I use Aranet4s in a few rooms, but they are pretty expensive unless they are on sale (which does happen fairly often).
