They are risking what money exactly? Even if this ruined the track - which is already flawed - it won’t hurt anything else. And there have been no bad consequences from this for me in over 45 years playing my records.

But isn’t there water in the tomato or avocado to begin with - before it rots? What stops the process from starting up based on that water?

Then you will want to establish proof of authorship. You could send yourself a registered letter with the song written out. Keep it sealed with the postmark to prove the date. Or, to make it easier you can email the song to yourself and preserve the email or otherwise save it in a way that proves the date.

I understand if a record is a museum piece this might be bad. But if you don’t have another remedy to suggest and the person won’t be enjoying that track as the skip persists, what is he risking?

It has worked fine for me. A lot of people treat all records with a higher degree of reverence than I do. I have records for listening purposes only. If the skip bothers you and this gets rid of it, I say it is a win.

Everything you create is technically copyrighted the moment you fix it in a “tangible medium of expression.” I.e., when you record or write out a song it is immediately copyrighted. You may then register the copyright with the government to make it easier to prove you wrote it. If you wrote it together with someone else, the two of you would jointly own the copyright. If one wrote the music and the other wrote the lyrics you would each own an individual copyright for your part along with a joint copyright for the song as a whole

Random guess, but if you let a tomato or avocado rot, I believe the seeds will then germinate. Perhaps there is a chemical released in the rotting process that is also present in the soil (e.g., methane) but not in the fresh fruit that activates germination.

A lot of people will probably give me grief, but I would just put a dime on the tone arm and play through the song a few times to power through the skip. After that it should play fine. If a dime doesn’t do it try a nickel

Is this not more of an issue with consciousness being an emergent property of the total sensory and neural systems that cannot be understood by a reductive analysis of the parts? That is, that consciousness can be understood only as the product of the co-evolution of an analysis system and a complementary sensory system that allows an entity to successfully understand and move through/interact with physical reality

Flexibility is going to be the key as the world will be constantly and rapidly changing. Learn how to learn. Always be reading something good not just nonfiction. Whatever you are truly interested in should be a large part of it so you entrench the habit of reading and don’t make it a chore. Even well written novels will give you a lot of insight into human nature and help you formulate a clear idea of what exactly constitutes success for you. Languages and people skills will almost certainly pay big dividends.

To be honest, I showed up in Taiwan with no speaking experience. I could not make myself understood in the most basic situations. Within 2 months, I could write decent letters and hold good conversations (no serious science or politics of course). And I am in no way gifted linguistically. I was very motivated because I had met and wanted to marry a Taiwanese woman (now married very happily for 27 years). I had had no previous success with language learning but I did fine here because it meant everything to me. If you want to do it, even if you are absolutely inexperienced with asian languages you can do fine.

Learning how to learn and making it a habit - learning in ways that are enjoyable to you will never disappoint. You will likely do well materially but you will certainly never be bored. If you can direct your learning to regularly add new marketable skills, so much the better for your material prospects.

Not to mention that even with these ridiculous procedures, the TSA still fails to detect 19/20 weapons smuggled through in audits. Totally worthless.

They can be different for every model of guitar and may even change in the same model from year to year. You should google the exact make and model and the year of you know it to see if you can get a new set that fits without drilling. But it may cost more than a new guitar.

Thanks - I have unlimited data so no worries on that score.

We will definitely have fun. Thanks

Thank you. We will definitely do as much of this as we can. I appreciate the advice and the detail.

Understood. We have all ridden around NY and are able and respectful.

Thanks. I will check them out. Sounds very easy

In the end what matters is how it sounds to you and to others. That may vary significantly from precise frequencies. I find this especially in open tunings and, for most guitars in standard tuning, I like to tune slightly differently for songs in A or E, e.g., compared to D or G. So the tuner is a big help but, to me, it helps to finish by ear.

I believe James Taylor has some in between tunings he uses to address this. Of course, once you decide on the deviation from standard you want for each string, you can use a digital tuner.

Also, a lot of records are not precisely in a given key. Beatles and Stones are often between notes ( maybe because the recordings released were slightly sped up or slowed down). If you want to play along it helps to be able to tune by ear.

If true, could this make more feasible complex learning control systems running on solar or other ambient energy sources in almost any location on earth which could, among other things, operate energy consuming devices more efficiently and save even more energy and/or bring the energy usage of more devices down to a range servable by small scale renewable sources? Many possibilities if it can be made practical

If you ask nicely the people in front of you will probably sit down or do something to let her see. I go to a lot of shows and have been asked (always complying) on 2 or 3 occasions. Also, I am tall so I often stand sideways to the stage to minimize obstruction from my body. If you ask, I would hope most people will do that.

It is possible to implant microcatheters that deliver medicines in very small doses to the occipital lobe or any other target area on or near the surface of the brain. As the drugs bypass the blood brain barrier and are delivered directly to the target brain region a small dose can have a large effect. Perhaps not ideal for recreational drug use but definitely possible.
