Someone may have already invented this, but use a laser to read vinyl and you could have a player built into your car.

And once you’ve read the vinyl disc with a laser and digitised it you can retain the data and replay it, three times or more. You could call the data file a Music Player 3 or MP3 for short. You wouldn’t even have to have the vinyl record in your car, you could keep it in the temperature-controlled pressurised room filled with inert krypton gas you have at home to maintain its pristine condition.

In the 50s someone invented an optical player, the same principle before the laser. It wasn’t successful. There had to have been problems with the sound quality, as it otherwise would have been a real boon in saving record wear.

A student pilot at Ft. Novosel saw a car in the parking lot. The vanity plate was the callsign of his father, an aviator killed in Iraq. When he tracked down the car, it belonged to a man who 1) flew with his father on that mission, and 2) was the student’s new flight instructor. He will be held to a standard.

He did so while quoting the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) who said: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.”

ATHENS, Ga. — A suspect is in custody after a college student was found dead Thursday on the campus of the University of Georgia, officials said.
University police did not offer additional details Friday afternoon but said there were no indications of a continuing threat after the death of 22-year-old Laken Hope Riley.

Officials said that Riley, who was not a student at the University of Georgia but did attend college at another institution in Athens, had gone for a jog and was later found dead with “visible injuries” in a forested area behind Lake Herrick on Thursday. Police said foul play was suspected, and on Friday, the case was called a homicide investigation.

Judge grants injunction in Tennessee vs. NCAA as federal court freezes NIL rules
Adam Sparks - Knoxville News Sentinel
Published 5:16 p.m. ET
Feb. 23, 2024

A federal judge on Friday suspended NCAA rules on name, image and likeness benefits for athletes, dealing a serious blow to the college sports governing body’s enforcement powers and easing the stress of the University of Tennessee amid an NCAA investigation.

It’s a victory for the attorneys general in Tennessee and Virginia in their lawsuit against the NCAA and, potentially, for UT in its fierce fight with the NCAA over NIL rules. The preliminary injunction granted in the Eastern Tennessee District by Judge Clifton Corker found that NIL rules caused irreparable damage to athletes.

The decision applies while until the court case plays out. And the ruling covers the entire country, preventing the NCAA from enforcing its NIL rules against any school and giving student-athletes latitude on signing deals.

“(W)ithout the give and take of a free market, student-athletes simply have no knowledge of their true NIL value,” Corker wrote. “It is this suppression of negotiating leverage and the consequential lack of knowledge that harms student-athletes.”

Corker took issue with the NCAA’s strategy to prevent recruiting inducements, including the association’s attempt to classify NIL collectives, which raise and distribute money, as boosters.

“The NCAA’s prohibition likely violates federal antitrust law and harms student-athletes,” Corker wrote in his ruling.

The decision could have a seismic impact on college sports, as the NCAA’s rules banning NIL recruiting inducements are frozen for more than 523,000 athletes at 1,088 institutions.

College recruits and transfers can now negotiate and sign NIL contracts before enrolling at a university with no fear of breaking NCAA rules. Or, at least, they can until the case concludes, likely months from now.

But considering the NCAA already was under scrutiny involving antitrust laws, some NIL rules could be off the books permanently.

“The jury, after a week of deliberations, found that the group’s former leader, Wayne LaPierre, had used NRA funds to pay for personal expenses, including vacations, luxury flights for his relatives and rides on superyachts. Jurors found that he misspent $5.4 million, some of which he has repaid.”

I’d bet it had more to do with crude laser technology of that time. Maybe the beam couldn’t be focused and narrow enough to read the grooves in the records. I’d think lasers today would be considerably better at it. It’s also possibly that the record cutting tech of that time didn’t produce consistent grooves that would wibble and wobble (hi-tech audio speak) a bit which would produce distortion. The needles didn’t care because they’d just ride through those.

After comparing his own plight to Navalny, Trump has still not said a single word against Putin for murdering his rival.

Alongside Jared Kushner asking, “are we still doing this?” when asked about MBS hacking up a US journalist, we can safe say that the Trumps will happily murder their own rivals. They see this a normal way to run things.

Oh that reminds me. You know what good black and white movie often flies under the radar?

Ed Wood. Burton and Depp did a great job.

It was before Depp transitioned to Drunken Stumblebum status.

Too bad. He was a great actor before he wasn’t, and he fell off the table and plummeted FAST.

I was amazed at how easy it was to get a digital library card. One of the few free services that still works great.

I think it was at least 30 years since I’d had an actual physical library card. But I had one for decades before that. I was a library fiend. I had a library jones.

It’s only a matter of time until the jackals pull down the libraries. If we let them.

Kanopy has the whole thing, no ads. All you need is a digital library card.

I wish I could get a library card.

I always had a stack of library books somewhere in my room. I read voraciously; I still do, though not from libraries anymore. Books were an escape from a life of severe restrictions and expectations.

Reports have come in that state the Intuitive Machines lunar lander made it all the way to the moon but it didn’t stick the landing. The company states that it apparently had a leg get caught, causing it to tip over. They are able to communicate with it and are getting some telemetry but how much of their original mission they can accomplish in that state is being evaluated. Unfortunately, some of the antennas are pointing down to the moon’s surface and this will compromise the amount of data that can be passed.

The disco ball existed in the 1940s.

The animals are trying. There are bills circulating in Floriduh and other paleolithic states that would allow lawsuits to be levied on librarians if someone discovers a book available to their precious little rugrats that portrays gays as anything but monsters.

These assholes really need to fuck off and die.

In British wartime movies, IIRC.

I sort of wish my Dad was more of a library fiend. Instead he made his own library, which I found out is problematic when it comes to space the hard way. Right before he died we went through his library and got rid of most of the books, hundreds upon hundreds of titles, that he acquired somehow, he bought most of ‘em. Off to the thrift store. That was a lot. A lot to take in. So many books…

They need to fuck off and enter a state of self-examination that leads them to undo the harm they have caused. Dying is a close second.

We’ve had some good picks for B&W. My choice is the Big Heat by Fritz Lang, starring Glenn Ford, Gloria Graham and Lee Marvin. Great film noir by a master of expressionism. But feeling very real.

Two scenes are classic.

Oh, but we must. Depending upon your age, either you wore them or your father did.
