I think I've been this person before, but I've also been the person that makes the meeting go on for 20 minutes longer than necessary by bringing up stuff that doesn't need to be talked about in a big meeting. I've also been the one who thought he knew enough to try and force his opinion, when actually I was just being confidently wrong and not listening to others. So there's a time and a place.

Tenors. Only particularly challenging baritone parts go above E4 or F4.
In John Adams' Harmonium, I was surprised to learn the basses go into treble clef for a second. I hadn't sung untransposed treble clef in many years! I think it was only an F#4 or A4 or something but it felt real strange to be singing in the treble clef again.
Here it is on archive.org, since the original was taken down (hey, the cat's out of the bag now):

It’s not nearly that hard of a problem. There are n gun files on internet, so validate the hash of those n files (g code whatever). These people aren’t cadding their own designs.
The g-code is not being distributed, because it's specific to each printer, filament, etc. G-code is not the same thing as a STP or STL file.

> Elon wasn't even at Tesla when they started the model S design.
Do you have a source on this? According to Wikipedia, Elon became chairman of the board, 8 months after the company was incorporated, in 2004. The Roadster project started in 2005. The Model S era it says started in 2010, with production starting in 2012.
For all intents and purposes, Elon was there the whole time, for everything that mattered. At least as far as I can tell by this timeline.
My faulty memory is the only source - looks like I was remembering that he became CEO in 2008. The Wikipedia article for the model S says they began design in 2007.

The days when it was exciting to see a Tesla model S seem like a distant memory now. Elon wasn't even at Tesla when they started the model S design. The US EV tax credit had not begun, and Obama was still just the junior senator from Illinois.

My kids also know that as far as the internet is concerned, their date of birth is 1 January 1970.
I wondered for a while why I got so many ads targeted towards seniors when I made my facebook account as a kid. Then I remembered my birth year was set to 1905. I guess I should let the Guinness World Records know that their listing for oldest man in the world is inaccurate.

For those like me wondering what in this syllabus they should be looking at, the key bit is the required reading in the middle of the second page: "Plato, excerpts from Symposium" instead of just "Plato's Symposium".
Edit: weird. On the app I'm using ("Harmonic") it redirects to a syllabus PDF. But when I open in a browser it opens to an article.
