  • if choir singers use the bass and treble clef, could rappers use the neutral clef like drums do?

    Even though drums do not have definite pitch, there are definite pitch changes, so drummers use the neutral clef.

    Non-monotone rappers also use different pitches, even though they are not definite pitch. could rappers use the netral clef just like singers use the bass, treble or alto clef?

  • Is there a job whose job description simply is to " tie up loose ends"?

    Obviously, the job description would not say that. But if you read between the lines, will your conclusion be " this job position just ties up loose ends for other people".

  • What is it with in laws that do not change the bed sheets?

    I don’t get it. My in laws seem to think normal people that stay at their house want to use the same sheets that their kids or other people stay in. I cannot imagine that non relatives would be okay with this. I dread staying over because of this.

    People that do this, why do you not change the sheets?

  • If distributor and power steering fluid and valve cover is leaking, can you still drive your car?

    I plan to replace my car soon anyways. But the mechanic wasn't quite clear about travel. he said that in town travel was fine. But is it still okay to drive a 70 mile trip, or a 223 mile trip? These are some trips we're looking at soon.

  • Could rap use the "neutral clef"?

    I am a drummer. Drums use the neutral clef or the percussion clef because the drums do not have a definite pitch.

    I feel that rap is the " percussion of singing". There is no definite pitch, but there are higher and lower general pitches, just like rack and floor toms on a drum set.

    Since we write down melodies on the bass and treble clef for choirs, could we write rap on the neutral clef?

    A good example would be Bone, thugs and harmony's " thuggish ruggish bone". It has indefinite higher and lower pitch changes all over the place. 

    serious responses please.

    thanks in advance

  • Why did later DVDs have less chapters than earlier movies?

    I remember the Terminator 2 laser disc having 72 chapters or so. Even batman returns had 40 plus chapters. Through the decades, there have been less and less chapters on a DVD to a movie.

    I see DVDs or Blu-rays  where a movie has only 16 chapters. I find that problematic. I see two unrelated scenes combined into one of the chapters. Maybe the industry does not see some scenes as important.

    But I do find some scenes interesting I want to revisit where I have to fast forward through the chapter to see it.

    Does anyone have any insight to why the movie industry got so conservative with the number of chapters on a disc? I think it was great when movies had 40 plus chapters. 

    Even Complete series on DVD could benefit in doubling the chapters for each episode.

    Thoughts?

  • For those that were clinically dead then revived by the doctors, did it feel like no time passed?

    Now, I know some people experience Near Death Experiences. and I would be interested in if it felt like any time passed by.

    But, also for those that had no near death experience: When you woke up, after the doctors revived you, was it like no time passed at all. Or does it some how feel like  "you were out of it for a long time."

    I am curious.

  • What 16 songs on the white album did all beatles collaborate on?

    Wikipedia says all the beatles performed only 16 songs of the 30 songs on the White Album. But I have trouble finding out which 16 songs those are.

    Does anyone have that list?

    (Also, people have discussed in forums about if the white album was reduced to one record. These 16 songs could be a good case for a single record).

    Thanks in advance.

  • for those that do not hate trump, need help?

    again, I am not interested in hearing from someone that does not support trump, or hates trump. 

    I told facebook I was voting for trump. Then a black  friend from school, not a great friend, but hung out sometimes (over 10 years ago) , responded with : 

    "trump is an incompetent fool & thats why the country is so divided. Thats why millions got sick & thousands died! Trump is an incompetent fool, Im deleting any and everyone from my friends list that supports a racist fool".

    And he did delete me.

     He got some likes from people though that have not yet dropped me. 

    How do I even respond to that?

  • what is the best way to back up a c drive - see details?

    I am trying to avoid warrantee because they always have to wipe the harddrive. this means I will lose programs that are already difficult to install. 

    back end programs, like oracle express, along with it's front end programs like sql developer. then other programs like visual studio.

    can you simple "copy and paste" the entire c drive onto a thumb drive and then paste it back onto a laptop after a laptop warrantee wipes your drive?

    currently I am having battery issues where it drains when I turn off my samsung laptop.

    If I use my warrantee for any other reason and ship it off, is it save to simply paste the c drive back onto the computer and then be able to run oracle express and sql developer?

  • My laptop does not flicker but the  brightness adjusts, how do I fix that? see details ?

    I have a Samsung laptop 950QCG.

    It does not “flicker”, but I usually set the brightness low. When I turn on the computer on and log in, it adjusts the brightness ever so slightly for the first few seconds and then stabilizes the rest of the login session. You must stare to notice it, but it still concerns me. When I turn it off and it goes to that blue log off screen, it does the same thing.

    Only one time did my screen turn black for split second. I had this computer for about 2 months.

    I reset the drivers by pressing shift+ control+ window +b. But I still have the slight brightness adjustment.

    I thought about sending it to Samsung while it is under warrantee, but they want you to box it yourself and send it out. What if I don’t box it well? I don’t want to do that If I don’t have to.

    To note, this does not happen when the brightness is set real high.

    I saw some complicated instructions about deleting the driver by going into safe mode, etc. but that scares me lol. And I don’t know if that is the exact issue.

  • This is about infinite tetration. see details?

    I put up a message asking if the infinite hyper root of 1000 equals 1000^ (1/1000). Some one confirmed that the answer to x^^ infinity is always x^(1/x).

    One source claims that the range for x is e-e < x < e1/e

    And that is fine, because 3^(1/3), 5^(1/5) etc falls in that range. But this source says that the Y values are only 1/(ee) < y < e(1/e)

    That apparently means that (3^(1/3) ^^ infinity is not the cubed root of three.

    Even worse this implies that anything above e^(1/e) diverges. So is there no answer to x^^infinity= 50, because 50 is greater than the Y range? How can this be?

    This site {http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/jmac/ther/tower.h... claims this saying "It would seem then that x would equal the cube root of 3 when solving the equation y = 3, but this is not the case. In fact, this procedure will only work when

    e-1 < y < e so that 1/(ee) < y < e(1/e)

    This has been established by Knoebel [I] and Mitchelmore [2] in their treatments of iterated exponentials. Knoebel introduces the notation nx for these 'hyperpowers' where x, xx, xxx ., . . are

    written1x,2x, 3x . . . and y in the example above would be the limit of the sequence y = lim nx.

    as n approaches infinity. He then proves that the sequence {nx} converges only in the interval

    e-e < x < e1/e

    "

    can any refute this or confirm this?

  • I switched my Microsoft account to a local account. can i switch back and forth and keep saved programs/ files? See details?

    When I first started my new laptop, I signed up for a Microsoft account. I saved a test word file and downloaded a Webroot paid for anti-virus service that was not already on there.

    I then created a “local account” for the first time. Those two things files were there so, great.

    1. I see that my Microsoft accounts have saved in the control panel. So, if I go the Microsoft account again, will my files and programs be there?

    2.:And If I try to go back to the local account “ again” after going to the Microsoft account “ again”, will that  local account option be saved?

    3.And once I go in the local account, will my other files and programs be saved?

    (I have used local accounts forever. Now they are scaring me thinking I will forget my password and I haven’t for 20 years.)
