Total Watts

  1. Geoffrey Hinton talks to Neil DeGrasse Tyson. You may have difficulty sleeping after listing to this discussion. https://open.spotify.com/episode/30xO8jBd3jynb7mOAE1v0O?si=0-buIMDXTBanSOYeEMCL_w&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A1mNsuXfG95Lf76YQeVMuo1
  2. I saw Iron Maiden last July. I found myself listening to mistakes and timing issues. I'm not sure whether they were down to Simon, a lack of rehearsal or just the fact that the band hadn't been playing in that form for close on 50 years. I don't trust myself not to be comparing Annika Rush with Neil Rush. It will inevitably be different. Not better or worse, just different. And something jars me when songs are downtuned. I didn't really enjoy them when I saw them last time.
  3. It's the same with Elvis and Beatles memorabilia. It's only valuable to those who have memorability.
  4. Which was my point about being valuable to Gen Xers for maybe the next 10 years and then lose value.
  5. No. I'm a tight-wad. The only time I buy something is if I run out of it, or I've spent too long trying to fix it when it broke. My last bass lasted 25 years and after 2 years of saying there's nothing wrong with it, I bit the bullet and bought a new one. I find feeling down is fixed with exercise and company, ideally both at the same time. Obviously not everyone can exercise, but a walk with the dog is good enough. Although, as I've never been depressed, it's easy for me to say.
  6. Not more money to everyone. More money to someone who this song is part of their history. It's all part of the "things have emotional value". Like the first bass you owned. Some people have sold their first bass or thrown it in a skip. Others have it in the loft, never to be played again, warped neck, busted pots, but with that sentimental value that means they'll never get rid of it.
  7. If it was the bass he used to record Ghost Town then its worth a lot of money to a lot of Gen X bassplayers who will now be in their prime of purchasing power. But I'd say in the next 10 years it won't be. Probably the top of the market right now.
  8. No Tiger Shoes for Tiger Feet?
  9. Any of these Tiger Ties would be better... https://www.zazzle.co.uk/tiger+ties?srsltid=AfmBOoomOydy8onh4xFMrgugxGzP6l7Lh-QQmeYKL0GyIwJmpcz5-VLi&trchd=true
  10. They're usually ok unless you keep your amp in the garage.
  11. Surely this is the issue. It's not in the system. I would think everything is computerised now. Rather than malice its just a complete system breakdown. Computer says no. I've never had an issue with RM or PF. They deliver my monthly prescription and send far too many emails and texts tbh.
  12. My Samsung Tablet will convert photos to PDF and also has some kind of recognition software that makes everything legible. I'm not on it now and can't remember how it does it. (Edit*) I'm using MobileSheets that backs up to onedrive and my phone and tablet are synced. If the tablet dies I can still use the phone in an emergency. Albeit a very limited tiny screen. *Google: https://share.google/aimode/jHPiSmJJIoZhkflmZ
