  • As any musician will tell you, you don’t really need sight to play. Learning to play without looking at the instrument is pretty important.

    The biggest challenges are with how to learn / write new pieces since you can’t look at written notation. Stevie Wonder “wrote” by recording and playing back tracks. A surprising amount of sighted musicians do the same if they never learned how to read or write notation, or if they just hate doing that.



  • “I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July, because I had an infection in the south of France, and it’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see,” he said at the time, adding that “my left eye is not the greatest.”

    John added that there was reason to be optimistic about his eyesight.

    “There’s hope and encouragement that it will be OK, but I’m kind of stuck at the moment,” he said. “I can do something like this, but going into the studio and recording, I don’t know.”





  • Harris was in Hawaii 2 weeks after losing the election. She was gone for less than a week. Why is it bad to want to decompress for half a heartbeat after a crazy campaign?

    And as for Hunter. Trump has packed the federal law enforcement agencies with corrupt MAGA nuts who want political retribution. Hunter will not be treated fairly.

    Moreover, pardoning him highlights the conflict of interest that the GOP gladly ignored with Trump’s first term. If the GOP wants to prevent presidents from pardoning people they’re personally associated with, the Dems will happily join that vote.




  • This analogy gets used a lot here, but it ignores the fact you literally see users struggling, asking for help, then giving up.

    Also, email had a lot of things helping it out. Many ISPs would (and still) give people an email address and set it up for them. Moreover, mail web clients like Hotmail and Gmail didn’t pester people with domain selection. Average users didn’t pick a Hotmail or Gmail domain because they were thinking about the domain, they got it because they were thinking about the features that the web client and host offered.
