Public transit has been lacking in my city even before the pandemic. They are still paying off for a light rail system from a decade ago that they are not maintaining. Also all the ticket machines smell like piss, which should not be a surprised considering for years there's been some guy who has been urinating at almost all the station.

I've been spending the summer learning how to play the guitar. Last month, I bought a lovely Sire S7 and I've been having a blast playing it and learning guitar chords and playing with the modes on the couple of portable guitar amps I bought (The Fender Magnum Micro and a Positive Grid Spark Go). I know those amps might not sound that impressive, but like I said I'm still pretty new at this and when I get better, I'll probably get an even bigger amp.
But that's not why I'm here today.
I was on the Ernie Ball website thinking about picking up some spare strings (because I broke my little e string a few weeks ago), when I noticed they had different pack of string sets with different strings that were other than the typical 10-13-17-26-36-46 set, but had other gauges of strings.
Surely, the width of the strings would result in different notes as much as where you put your fingers on the fretboard, right?
So what would I be gaining or losing if I used a different set up strings? (I'm not planning on re-stringing my guitar any time soon, but it would be nice to know the significance of these other sets, what they are used for, and if there was a specific set ideal for playing certain genres or playing techniques.)
Anyone remember the movie Middle Men (2009), a film based on Christopher Mallick's experience running an internet billing company that managed payments for paid porn sites? The film bombed at the box office, but there was one scene of interest which, in relevance to Haqqani's complaining is a good reminder as to why his complains about Meta are a moot point considering what happens to terrorists who use the internet. (Might be a little NSFW)
"I can't believe Meta would do this to us! Is it wrong for us to be a patriarchial homophobic anti-Christian, anti-Jewish group online without having someone tell us we can't be our true authentic selves? How dare Mark Zuckerberg do this to us! At least Elon will let us be who we are. Now if you excuse me, I have to to let the leopards at the Kabul Zoo eat my face." --Taliban Senior Leader
I was thinking about the Ocarina app, and how much it could be improved, when I though about another application which might not be able to be ported to Flipper Zero, at least not without some GPIO addition: LSDJ.
While I do like that there are so many RTTTL ringtones that were on RogueMaster's firmware from back in the Nokia days (Many of which need to be reorganized, renamed, and cleaned up by artist or genre), I think there is potential to port Little Sound DJ which has been used to do chiptunes in the style that could be done with the classic Gameboy. However, you don't need a Gameboy to use LSDJ. An emulator can be good enough.
At any rate, I'd though I'd bring it up. What do you guys think? Also, what other apps do you think should be ported to the Flipper Zero?
