California has about 800,000 agricultural laborers and about 400,000 FTE’s. That’s a lot of robots…and they probably won’t be able to drive themselves from field to field.

When I was a child [1], I was disappointed that I would only be 35 in the year 2000. 135 would get me to two century years. Bonus, my boy will be 100. [1] I was young enough that the Guinness Book of World Records was not on my circle of fr

Sloppiness is why music theory is not scientific. You can’t get to a scientific rationalization of the primacy of the major scale without it.

From C the first six stacked fifths give C Lydian, not C major. (You get an F#, the 5th of B as the seventh pitch, not F the 5th of Bb). You don’t get the perfect fourth until you go all the way around the circle of fifths. You cannot stac
