No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Lamp's function is going to provide light to the sheet music, that's it.

All I've found online is cheap. I just want something durable and reliable (meaning for the next 40 years), something I can attach an E26 or E12 to, nothing fancy, but durable.

I'm not sure there is a floor lamp on earth that can play a piano, dude.

Oh, dad! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

Time to get you back to the old folks home and then find out how you keep getting out.

Probably a Gothic candelabra with good quality wax candles. Should last a lifetime.

[โ€“] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I like the ones with the multiple, positionable, lamps. You can aim the light.

Wouldn't a desk lamp make more sense?

For things that could use some decorative flair, I love looking at Facebook Marketplace and such to see what you can find used. There's probably plenty of "not made like they used to" stuff around you, but honestly a lamp is just a bulb socket, connected to a cord, held in place by a body. The "reliable" stuff can be replaced with parts from Home Depot. Heck, I did that with a lamp I bought in Turkey (I'm in US) that had a European plug/socket on it just for compatibility reasons. Easy peasy.

If it's not a grand piano, I was thinking "banker's lamp." And they look nice.

Edit: or a piano lamp. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

That is a great question.

I don't play piano, but I do like the question.

What is a great light source for this? or that?

So cool.

I have an arc light kinda thing. Stylish but can get in the way for new players. Got it from Amazon.
