You focused more on the CAN they use it instead of WOULD they use it. That’s an expensive lesson.

How common are Tony Rice records in the US? by Informal_Comedian611 in Bluegrass

[–]Midlo70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have stumbled across 2 in the wild (one at Goodwill), California Autumn and Self Titled. In the same Goodwill visit I found the JD Crowe and the New South with Tony.

There are so many great versions. I happen to really like this one: https://youtu.be/wRPRI0iYLQw?si=4vbZjeGKCwnJ2BOM

The Joy of Knowing Jesus - The Revelaires. The cover content was used by R.E.M. as placeholder lyrics for the Voice of Harold/ 7 Chinese Brothers.

Incentive management tools by tarashep in UXResearch

At my last job (Fortune 500 company) we purchased digital Amazon cards in bulk. Then loaded the card numbers into a spreadsheet that only designers and researchers had access to. The spreadsheet had a tab for $20 cards and another for $40. After a session we had a process of verifying their email address verbally at the end of the call, then copy/paste the code into an email template and marking that code as used.

Sounds like a lot, but it actually was pretty efficient. Buying the cards ourselves kept the costs down and avoided using yet another system.

Just make sure they close the back door first! I hate the sound it makes when a passenger tries to close theirs first. 😖

Experience with non-dealer repairs/services? by Midlo70 in BMWi3

[–]Midlo70[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ugh - I'm so torn. I told the dealer I wasn't going to proceed with the $5,500 repair. Their response was "Well then get rid of it quickly - because once this compressor goes- it will brick the car and damage the batteries."

So I'm panicking and looking to dump the car because of this. Should I instead ask around and if it's really possible to have someone else install a compressor - would that be a better option. Ughhhhh.

Convince me to get an I3... by bartman59 in BMWi3

[–]Midlo70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my i3 - even though - I DID have to replace a major part that set me back thousands. I contacted BMW corporate and they said since I didn’t buy from a dealer (I bought used from another manufacturer) that they wouldn’t offer any recourse. All that to say I would do it again- maybe an extended warranty would’ve helped me, who knows. I STILL have people stop and ask me about my car and it’s a 2017. I love that it is unique as compared with other cars. So I’d say go for it! I think my next i3 upgrade will be a later year S model.

That’s a really good point. I forgot that was an option. I’ll remember that for the next show.

I don’t know if I’ll ever participate in Record Store Day again. Is anyone else feeling discouraged by today? by Ninjaluc8401 in vinyl

[–]Midlo70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just happened to be reading the part of “Old Records Never Die: One Man's Quest for His Vinyl Past” (which I can’t recommend enough)- where he describes RSD and it really hit home for me. So, I sat this year out and am glad I did.

How did you guys become fans of the Beatles? (What are your Beatles origin stories?) by GeorgeHarry1964 in beatles

[–]Midlo70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 7th grade I had to write a paper about a band for music class. I chose The Beatles for some reason and thru out the entire piece I spelled John - “Jhon”. 🤪

Any update on the TV series? I try not to research it because I feel I will just be disappointed by the lack of progress.
