For vocalists in Western music traditions, the steps of a major scale (doesn’t matter the key) go by the names Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do instead of just 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 the way most other musicians refer to them.

They are saying that in the song ABC by the Jackson Five, the notes they sing in that relative key when they say “Do Re Mi” are actually “So La Do”

Rhapsody back in the day beat that. You could use All Music Guide info to build amazing custom playlists. Custom options like “Music featuring electric guitar with no vocals made between 1950-1957 with a tempo between 90-120” and it would shoot out a whole playlist

Pretty much just kerosene. So not the best, but not horrible. It just uses LOX and RP-1 (highly refined kerosene) for fuel.

So stupid and fake. Guy in an unbuttoned shirt being the stereotypical trust fund bro. Handheld camera conveniently already running and pointed right at the action. r/whyweretheyfilming

So given the median savings in the USA is about $8000, it would feel like $25 does to most of us.

She’s worth $28 billion. Unfortunately she will miss $100 million like the rest of us would miss $50.

Destin at Smarter Every Day and Steven Mould seem like solid guys, and content similar to Tom Scott if you haven’t seen them.

“lack of experience in the area…”

Boeing dwarfs SpaceX in experience building spacecraft.

Mercury and Gemini spacecraft were both built by the McDonnell Corp. That company merged with the Douglas Aircraft company (which built the 3rd stage of the Saturn V rocket) becoming McDonnell Douglas in 1967, which merged into Boeing in 1997. Boeing itself co-manufactured the space shuttle orbiters with Rockwell.

On paper and judging from experience and history, if you were going to pick a single company to build a spacecraft, it would be them. Not some brand new company run by a space-obsessed software engineer.

Clearly Boeing has huge cultural issues and has for a while.

Just saying if you wanted to go off experience alone, they’re the best there is.

That is a notable change from “we’re just double checking things on the Starliner, which we think we can fix. We expect them to ride it home soon” that has been the message for a long time. Now it’s “we’re looking at all options”.

Or what has been called one of the most historic and tumultuous years of a century (1968)… Yeah.

Now I gotta look up 1973. Never heard it mentioned in this context…

Answer:

• Roe vs Wade
• Vietnam War officially ended, US pulls out of Cambodia
• OPEC oil embargo started
• Wounded Knee occupation
• Major flooding of the Mississippi River
• New tallest building in the world (Sears Tower)
• Nixon goes to China and US opens official office in Beijing
• Battle of the Sexes tennis match
• Secretariat wins first triple crown in 25 years, smashing records
• “The Miller Test” for obscenity is established by the US Supreme Court
• Two notable commercial airline crashes with fatalities (both in Boston, interestingly)
• Egypt and Israel sign peace accord
• Much of the Watergate scandal played out in 73, though Nixon didn’t resign until August of '74

That’s what the saying means. It doesn’t mean perfect isn’t good. It means perfect is great, but don’t let it stop good.

They technical don’t make airframes or doors either (and still don’t until their buyout of their supplier goes through).

They did it once, then did it again and not only is it still just a fine, the fine didn’t even go up. Given inflation since then, the fine actually went down in real terms.

That’ll teach them for sure! /s

Peter Jennings was on my parents’ TV

That used to be really common. Movie novelizations would come out before the movie, along with soundtracks, etc. It was part of the promotional campaign.

My thoughts exactly.

Exactly my thought re: King James. Hilarious.

But what do you mean by the “original text” which is challenging to even determine given the relatively recent age and conditions of most manuscripts of both new and old testaments.

The MPAA rating system didn’t start widespread use until the early 1970s, and even then (as you’d expect since since it is the MPA"A") only in the USA. Other rating systems in other countries followed later (for the most part).

So any movie prior to that would have been unrated when it came out. Especially if it was a non-USA production.

Any rating you see on a movie older than that has been applied after the fact.
