Nas is a true artist artist. When I worked with him he turned down a project with Sting. Sting! When I asked why he said it would seem like too much of a gimmick. And he was right.

Seeing as all elements can be solid depending on their temperature that would have to mean every element would be a mineral, so I can't imagine it to be the case.

Reply to In the absence of cosmic radiation, would an object placed in space eventually cool to absolute zero? by IHatrMakingUsernames
Out of my depth here, but I believe absolute zero is impossible because you lower a temperature, you need something below that temperature. And since nothing can be colder than absolute zero, nothing can reach absolute zero.
But I would defer to a physicist, not me.

Reply to comment by Splunge- in TIL that the Blind Boys of Alabama, active for 83 years, still have an original member by MCMax05
A long time ago when I worked a lot of concerts it was typical to see facility and artist management together. in room counting cash. I think this was because at the time most ticket sakes were cash. Though in my experience this always happened during the show, not before. I remember Bill Cosby getting $80k per show and doing two a day.

All joking side, on of the biggest rookie mistakes engineers can make when recording guitars is thinking that turning everything up on an amp makes it sound bigger. In reality it makes it sound smaller. And it's not intuitive to know this.

Not dismissing the press simply for being the press is not the same as giving them a pass. Giving them a pass would to take everything as true because they are the press. But a big difference between the press an politicians is the press cites their sources and fact checks. Maybe web blogs don't, but they are not really the press. News channels that just have pundits giving their opinions is not factual.
People seem to have forgotten what the press actually is since Trump took office. And Trump's motive is to mislead people into thinking the press is no different than him or politicians who just say whatever they want.

Exactly. Except I had to contact them to find out why it went up. Next month it goes back down by about $200 because they have caught up.

And that is why a particular political party wants to convince everyone the media can't be trusted.

Reply to $600 Mortgage Payment Increase??? by NachoDog1000
Mine went up $400. The reason was that the previous owner was old enough to be exempt from some of the taxes. When the taxes went back up (I am not old enough to be exempt), the mortgage company did not increase the amount in escrow. So they had to jack it up to pay for the taxes they forgot to pay. Next month it should go down to what I was originally supposed to pay.
Just mentioning this in case yours is a similar reason.

Reply to Elon Musk’s Boring Company ghosts cities across America - The tunnel venture has repeatedly teased local officials with a pledge to ‘solve soul-destroying traffic,’ only to back out by asteriskspace
Remember when he claimed how much cheaper he could dig tunnels than cities? But he left out the part where he was comparing tunnels with fast food restaurants to plain tunnels and that when you properly compared them he spent more money than every one else.

Going to music stores was how you found new stuff. Especially via the staff.
