    I did something similar, but in reverse. Rather than give myself an arbitrary "death day", as the author did, I instead chose to make a life clock. It's just a display of my age in…

    Let's take this idea to the extreme for a moment and see if you agree that it's a problem. A new device is created that alerts 50% of the US population that they have a condition t…

    It sounds like you're the type of person to blame external factors for your own issues. Nothing you're saying counters the original advice. Additionally, in the guitar example, you…

    I can't tell if this is serious or not. You realize that not all vibrations are visible by eye, right? In fact, the vast majority aren't.

    You honestly couldn't make the inference based on the scale of the numbers? What was the point of your comment?
