	9:07am Heidee: Klasse, Yeti! - Are you well?
	♥ 9:07am Pale Son: Morning, folks! Loving these Thursday morning vibes. In answer to the episode's name, if I could, I sure would've. Twice!
	♥ 9:07am Doug in JC: Good morning Y. Bob! It does seem like a good day
	♥ 9:08am YETI BOB: nematomorpha: you are in Vienna IIRC? Is that the "forest city". Heidee, heute bin ich gut gelaunt!
	♥ 9:09am WoodsOfNH: @YETI BOB I tried that run-multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse software. Couldn't get it to work dang it. I blame Windows 10.
	♥ 9:09am Handy Haversack: Doug, it was long but tending toward pretty. I hadn't driven quite that long at a stretch in a little while. Heidee, hello! I missed your greeting during WAB! Woods, we are in Penobscot, about 12 miles from Blue Hill. Canoe should be here in an hour! We're hoping for a pond and a bay today!
	9:09am Terr in DE: John , no FIRE haze ? where are you ? a little here in DE , but not as bad as when Carolinas burned
	♥ 9:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, modern people. Early voting commences October 24 in this county and I plan to participate on or near that date.
	9:10am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: Heidee: dein rauhaardackel?
	♥ 9:10am WoodsOfNH: @Handy Today is the day for that. Warmest of the week. And the wind has finally calmed down.
	♥ 9:10am YETI BOB: @Woods: Aw, too bad. I haven't used it in a while. If I get it working with Win10 I'll let you know.
	9:10am Mike W: Need this show badly today b/w Nonetheless am immediately taking dog out for dog stuff
	9:11am John from Madison: Wisconsin, it was hazy yesterday but moved thru.
	9:11am Mike W: this Luz Donoso image will be popping into my head all day...if I’m lucky
	♥ 9:11am Trouble: jealous of @handy to be up in the green of maine...but i am getting a stationary bike delivered today so i am attempting to regain activity in my suddenly new sitting down lifestyle
	♥ 9:11am Handy Haversack: I think it's the only day the tides line up for an afternoon paddle on the bay, too, Woods. But we have cool-weather paddling gear. We're here for canoeing!
	♥ 9:12am WoodsOfNH: @YETI BOB So then I tried something called Share Mouse. That _did_ work and it was easy to configure. But...the one window that I use a lot on the Windows box is an Oracle Virtualbox (running Linux). The mouse would not capture that window. Friggin' technology!!
	♥ 9:12am Woo: @YETI BOB, what neighborhood are you in? I though the stores on the Mag Mile were still boarded but I may be ill-informed. I've been to the city once in the last 6 months. On the plus side, when you visit Chicago now, weed is legal.
	9:12am Mike W: @Handy where is the flikr/livestream/periscope feed for us to follow yr adventures today?
	9:14am Mike W: i’m getting an F- so far in leaving the house (and this radio show) to walk my dog
	♥ 9:15am WoodsOfNH: Everything is made better with tablas.
	♥ 9:15am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning Ms. T, New Jersey, and modernists the world over.
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: @Mike W, you have to look through the eyes of the ospreys. It's a neat trick once you get the hang of it!
	9:16am !: Time to teach until early evening. Good bye.
	♥ 9:17am YETI BOB: @Woo: I'm near Noble Square in West Town. Wicker Park, Logan Square, and other "cool" neighborhoods have very few boarded up windows - a couple here and there but most of it came down after the protests. I don't spend a lot of time on the Mag Mile but I believe most of the boards have come down there too, I'm not sure. I do think the news media sensationalizes things like this. I'll take a bike ride this afternoon and have a look around. I'll report back.
	9:17am deborah: Time to teach until early evening. Good bye
	♥ 9:17am Handy Haversack: Assembled friends, has anyone seen listener Snoochienucci lately? I feel like it's been more than a few weeks, and he loved /The Modern World/.
	♥ 9:18am Doug in JC: Good luck Deborah!
	9:18am TDK60: The A.A.K. sarod sounds just right now.
	♥ 9:18am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning from Annapolis!
	♥ 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Take care ! / deborah.
	9:18am nematomorpha: @yeti bob: yeah, i'm in vienna. the killer-orange claimed austrians live in forests with highly explosive trees and the we have forest-cities. but yes, this is the skyline of vienna: i.pinimg.com...
	♥ 9:18am Doug in JC: Speaking of MIA, where's DJ Guin?
	9:19am Terr in DE: Woods NH, if you have Android check out Rhythm Free tabla app.
	9:20am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Brooklyn chirps for you.
	♥ 9:20am YETI BOB: @nematomorpha: I was glad to miss that reference, honestly. Can't even keep up with all the crazy things Killer Orange says!
	9:20am johnk77: great show ali akbar khan first "world music" artist i saw live around 1969 in ohio ear & mind expanding;>
	♥ 9:20am PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings from Grand St. In Jersey City! Beautiful summer day!
	♥ 9:21am PaulRobeson1920: Pay no attention to the clown... he is but a man... (a con man too)
	9:22am Mike W: @Handy [tries to remember login/pw for iOsprey app]
	♥ 9:22am Woo: @YETI, glad to hear it's not as bad as I assumed. Next Weds we are going to Pilsen for the premiere of the movie Dreaming Grand Avenue at a makeshift drive-in theater
	9:23am Mike W: ps @Handy I’m not as on-the-board as some but I know Snoochie’s handle and have not noticed it recently...
	♥ 9:23am Phillippe Bastille: I haven't seen the snooch for a while either
	♥ 9:26am YETI BOB: I found an instagram for @Snoochienucci but it's set to private. Last WFMU activity (click) was Aug 13. Hope he's OK. Handy - you know him better than me, maybe reach out with a contact email?
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble & three hands clapping. I vote....for WFMU every month.
	♥ 9:29am WoodsOfNH: @Terr in DE Thanks! Oh gees, I gotta put that away for the morning or I'll go down the tabla rabbit hole! ;-)
	♥ 9:30am Listener Gregory: This raga is rockin.
	♥ 9:31am YETI BOB: @Woo: Sounds great, have fun! Pilsen is awesome. If you see a tall shaggy creature with long hair and a WFMU t-shirt, it's probably me, so say Hi :)
	♥ 9:31am Nymor: This is lovely - so delicate. Bryce has been reminding me recently how beautiful, and calming, this music is - 14Aug & Sep11 shows in particular. Thanks Trouble :)
	9:31am Morphe': A moral question - Not An AMORAL QUESTION... a spider moved in to our house 3 months ago.... we have named her Bertha (gender unknown) We have almost no flying insects as Biz is shut down in Madrid... When I do the midnight recycling , I take an Olive Jar and capture wee bugs to feed Bertha. Is That horrible...?????????????????? I think no but I always have a small sad quam feeling [Is Quam a word??? It is now]... I eat cheese and eggs and dead animals if they appear on a plate and I can kill fish and eat them but I feel sorry for the wee bugs????? Not Catholic guilt..... No professional psychs need respond.... just the Regular - IR-regular listener!! appear on the plate.. Ps wee 9 year old Simon tagged/labeled the jar "Bertha's Lunch Box." Children are stupendous when not atrocious!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:33am Doug in JC: @morphe - I spritz my house spiders with water to keep them hydrated
	9:34am Lewis: It does seem more complicated teaching on line this go round - I too struggle with why this is so...
	9:36am Morphe': Handy - NanNook of the North... (good doc) ... quiet paddling sounds great!!!! took Simon to Alicante the other day for a super polluting Medeterranian Speed boat ride ....... #300 Horsepower ... He said it was the best day of his life!!!!!!!!!!!! Does Mr Pipes ride the kayak???
	♥ 9:36am Doug in JC: I caught a ceiling spider lowering herself into the bathroom sink to take a drink at 4 am not long ago: www.inaturalist.org...
	9:36am natbot: I'm a fellow teacher struggling with anxiety and I turn to your show (and WFMU) for solace!!! Thank you for what you do!!!
	9:37am Lewis: the syntax of that last post mirrors my confusion with my class...
	9:37am Heidee: @jdaAndAnouk @9:10 - That's a good guess, she looks like one in this picture because you can only see her head. If you saw the body, different kettle of fish! Ailsa is a Whippet-Bedlington mix and looks like a small version of a Scottish Deerhound. :-)
	♥ 9:38am Ajay from Krommenie / NL: yay Prana Crafter! William Sol is so talented!
	♥ 9:38am YETI BOB: @morphe': The word is qualm. And that's a great question. Every summer I plant flowers to attract bees. A few days ago I noticed a HUGE spiderweb that was strung between the flowerpots and a tree about 8 feet away. I've been watching all the bugs that get caught. And yesterday, there was a bee in the web! One of the bees I was trying to attract. So I removed the spider nest - it seemed somehow like this setup was unfair to the bees, a trap. But how about the spider whose web I wrecked? A real moral question. Then I realized - this is actually part of what it means to be human. Making decisions like this. Deciding what is a weed and what is "desirable". In fact, it's like playing God, deciding who lives and who dies. It's quite a burden and I'm sure we don't always get it right! But you have to make decisions like this anyhow, every day - there's no getting around it, if you live in the world. You play God every day. Just try to be a kind and merciful God, I guess ... Well, the web reappeared the next day, actually. Identical location & construction. Spiders are amazing!
	♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Speaking of Portishead, have you heard the recording of Beth Gibbons doing Gorecki's Symphony No. 3? Pretty amazing.
	9:40am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: @ Heidee :-) anouk says wuff… (malteser mix)…
	♥ 9:40am Acid Cazh: Damn, didn't know how badly I needed to hear Portishead this morning.
	♥ 9:40am steveo: i can breathe through my mask, but still love this song
	♥ 9:40am listener james from westwood: Portishead is what I need on this gloomy day, perhaps paradoxically.
	♥ 9:41am YETI BOB: @morphe': Also Nanook of the North is considered to be kind of problematic - a lot of the scenes were staged, and it portrays Inuit as somewhat less than human.
	♥ 9:41am listener james from westwood: This album stands fully up after ~26 years.
	♥ 9:41am Phin The Hyooman: Was just on a Portishead kick yesterday. Glad to see were on similar wavelengths, Trouble!
	♥ 9:41am Trouble: breathe on@ natbot!! we can do it!
	♥ 9:42am YETI BOB: (stepping out for coffee - bbiab)
	9:42am Morphe': On line teaching - as a parent of a 9 year old - is a disaster... and I was a teacher for 27 years... So. Bx and Bed Stuy (17-27 year olds).. Played TROUBLE Live in class... Favorite quote : "Yo Mista ... she's Fuckin' weird ..Those is birds she's playin???? She's fuckin' weird!!!! Those is Birds???" Thanks Trouble for openong up ears and minds and souls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:43am Trouble: @lewis: i think we are trying to get it o so right this time, whereas in march we were just trying to get it. or at least that is how i am feeling. I am trying soooo hard to make community with my students and make a real connection instead of just dishing out info
	9:44am Heidee: @jda - oh, it's Anouk who is that lovely doggie in the pic! wuff right back atcha! cuddles!
	♥ 9:44am sydnius: Online teachers: 2 screens for student monitoring! An essential resource.
	♥ 9:44am WoodsOfNH: We have a friend who is a teacher and she's overloaded with the whole hybrid model, making video's of her lessons, etc. It's tough.
	9:45am Lewis: yeah - in the spring a community had formed before we were all sent away and now we have to build it up in the virtual world. I so miss seeing the faces in real time and adjusting to what was going on in the classroom
	♥ 9:45am Trouble: @ woodsofNH: NO! i adore that piece i need to find her version. gracias!
	♥ 9:46am Trouble: @morphe': Excellant!
	♥ 9:47am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble I had no idea she could do such a thing. I don't know what the real opera world thought of it but I loved it.
	♥ 9:47am melinda: I really feel for everyone having to teach online. A friend of mine who teaches creative writing told me his work time has increased x 3 doing it all remotely.
	♥ 9:48am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modern worlders! Clicky star for the cricket suite!
	♥ 9:48am StringOFperils: A lot of clicky stars for crickets. Popular piece.
	9:50am Lewis: @melinda - but I am getting much better at making youtube videos...
	♥ 9:51am WoodsOfNH: Oh man, I need it now! lizdurette.bandcamp.com...
	9:51am Lewis: Thanks Trouble and Assembled WFMU folks - I must now turn off the radio, record a quick video and then do a couple of online discussion sessions...
	9:53am Morphe': YetI... I know you not but I respect yer insights.. (glad speelcheeck did not transmogrify that to INSULTS>>>) I FOOLED THE SPELL CHECK!!! To repeat myself ... YetI... I know you not but I respect yer insights.... All through the days and shows!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:54am Trouble: this New Yorker article is gorgeous and moving. People can be soooo amazing.www.newyorker.com...
	♥ 9:55am WoodsOfNH: I haven't received a New Yorker in a while. Post office hijinx??
	9:57am TDK60: Will look at that later Trouble. Hats off to the MTA workers. Over 100 passed in NYC from the virus.
	♥ 9:57am βrian: We've gotten ours. We pile them on the table, then read them online.
	♥ 9:57am Trouble: uh oh, maybe your subscription ran out? @ woods... it used to cost $$$, but now it's much less to subscribe.
	9:58am Morphe': YetI - I do know you through yer thoughtful comments over a long period of time... When not imprisoned in Madrid... I am in NYC ... met Handy/Kate/Bagpies for a beer in a park ... I do love Chicago so maybe one day beers along the center city railroad tracks or a back alley that stretches on for miles!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:58am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble recently got an email saying I was due to auto-renew in December so ???
	♥ 9:59am βrian: @WoodsOfNH: Any Cyrillic characters in that email?
	♥ 10:00am Webhamster Henry: I had a New Yorker dead tree subscription for a while - it was nice to read by natural light! but it was jut One More Thing.
	♥ 10:01am Trouble: @woods: suspicious... i hate reading online. absolutely prefer books to ebooks.
	♥ 10:02am βrian: I do like being able to zoom with the online version. Helps my tired eyes.
	10:03am Morphe': Yeti - one big problem!!! who goes out to buy a cup of Coffee???? I make the best coffee!!!!Pure Esspresso Colombiano... ... no dairy or faux dairy yes... brown sugar!!!! Come to my house.... That is a Platonic invite!!!!!!!!!!!!! Otherwise Ken would banish me!!!!!
	10:04am ?: well i didn't learn about lee riley until now, she's great. thanks
	♥ 10:04am βrian: Sugar in coffee? Avast!
	♥ 10:05am Doug in JC: brown sugar in coffee?
	♥ 10:05am βrian: Just roasted a pound of espresso yesterday afternoon. Tastes fine.
	10:06am Morphe': Must go get Simon from his first day of Madrid new school(4th grade) - wearing a sad ass uniform and clunky shoes.... Thanks Trouble and all!!!!
	♥ 10:06am Roberto: Seriously tho. We're all in a tizzy about what a few pro athletes are doing while hundreds of thousands are dying needlessly, the entire continent is under a smoke condition, and democracy as we know it is being aggressively eroded.
	♥ 10:06am βrian: Wisconsin: "At least 14 days before the election (in-person absentee voting). Varies by municipality. "
	10:07am Morphe': BLACK COFFEE NO SUGAR NO CREAM ...
	♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: morphster: was outside prepping the car for canoe duty. Bagpipe definitely comes along!
	♥ 10:07am Phin The Hyooman: TYM! South Carolina represent!
	♥ 10:08am βrian: I saw an exquisite cedar-strip canoe yesterday. Almost too pretty to use, but I bet it glides beautifully.
	♥ 10:08am Doug in JC: I feel like I've known this song for years
	10:09am ?: hooked right at the intro
	10:09am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: First heard this on Duane Train and I love it
	10:10am deborah: @ Trouble You are not alone if you have conflicting feelings about Remote or online teaching. I despise it! We will get through this. Got to go; Journalism class time, soon.
	♥ 10:10am Phin The Hyooman: @Doug: brown sugar in coffee actually is really good. We use the Florida Crystals: Demerara Cane Natural Sugar granules.
	♥ 10:12am Doug in JC: @phin interesting... I'll have to try it some time. I usually only put sugar in if it's really bad coffee
	♥ 10:13am βrian: Now coffee ice cream is a whole 'nother matter, to be sure.
	10:14am Morphe': Handy -muzst run... having Bagpipe envy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be safe and have fun... Going back to super pollute the Med this weekend????? You only die once... I respect yer cleanliness...
	♥ 10:16am βrian: Complete the sentence, "Is that a bagpipe in your canoe or ..."
	♥ 10:16am Doug in JC: Guess which city has the best Indian food in the entire country? www.cnn.com...
	♥ 10:18am PKNY: Damn is this Dyke & the Blazer track funky!
	♥ 10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Last summer, I came down to Monty Hall and I can vouch for the roasted cauliflower from the Indian restaurant down the block.
	♥ 10:21am YETI BOB: @morphe': Hey - I just got back from the coffeeshop. TBH I go there partly because it's run by an artist/filmmaker who I'm friends with and I'm hoping they don't go out of business. I make coffee (and a lot of tea) at home too. Would love to sit down with you some time for a drink or something, either in NYC or Chicago. TTYL!
	♥ 10:23am Trouble: soooo sorry: new york does not have early voting YET; it opens 2 weeks before.
	♥ 10:24am Doug in JC: @KFHP Sorry to report that place closed...
	♥ 10:24am PaulRobeson1920: Is that a bagpipe in your canoe or a canoe underneath your bagpipe?
	♥ 10:27am Roberto: I would love some roasted cauliflower right about now but my recent oral surgery precludes it.
	♥ 10:28am βrian: @Doug in JC: Ok, Jersey City is now officially on our list. There used to be a restaurant in Burlington, VT that rocked my socks, but it's long gone.
	♥ 10:29am Trouble: here is a chart with each state and their early voting dates: www.vote.org...
	♥ 10:29am Rtintera: That beautiful baby song made me feel better. Thx
	♥ 10:29am Roberto: Thanks, Trouble. That might just be the most useful chart ever.
	♥ 10:30am Doug in JC: @Brian Make sure to check out the truck stops on your way over :) www.npr.org...
	♥ 10:32am Trouble: @roberto: vote.org is working hard for success!
	♥ 10:34am Ken From Hyde Park: @Doug - Too bad it closed. I checked the map and the place I visited was on Greene Street, between Montgomery & York Streets.
	♥ 10:35am YETI BOB: a shot of maple syrup in coffee is great - i'm afraid i might be addicted to it
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: there is now a new indian restaturant in that same store front @ kenf rom hyde park
	♥ 10:37am Doug in JC: @Trouble Wasn't there supposed to be a new restaurant there? The story of what happened was horrible
	♥ 10:37am Webhamster Henry: I just dropped some home made toffee in my tea.
	♥ 10:37am Ken From Hyde Park: Good to know ... Thanks, Trouble.
	♥ 10:38am Hubig Pie: A shot of grappa in ya coffee ☕ and you be set for the day
	♥ 10:38am Ike: We only recently got early voting in New York. Why did it take until 2019 to get that passed? Because in 2018 we organized and voted out Cuomo's pet Republicans etc. from the state Senate. Then Cuomo had no choice but to pass early voting and other progressive legislation, which he either illicitly hated or didn't care about.
	♥ 10:39am WoodsOfNH: There's an Indian & Sri Lanken restaurant in Ellsworth, ME that makes mind-blowing food. Serendib. I had an Indian friend up here one time and she said it was the best stuff she'd had since coming to this country.
	♥ 10:39am YETI BOB: @Hubig: Caffè corretto!
	♥ 10:39am Webhamster Henry: There's a really good Indian restaurant in Rhinebeck, Cinnamon, that I hope is still open.
	♥ 10:40am redbee: @Yeti: I'm not a coffee drinker (can't handle so much caffeine) but I would occasionally splurge on a maple latte from a local cafe. Such an incredible combo of flavors!
	10:40am morning: Trouble! Good morning from smoky Portland. Every week your show is something I look forward too. (For at least 8+ years). I rarely get to listen live and I just discovered I can chat with you
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: @ douginJC i don't know this story. I just know i walked by and saw a new restaurant, but i haven't walked by there since march.
	♥ 10:41am Webhamster Henry: Ghastly story: www.nj.com...
	♥ 10:41am Doug in JC: @Trouble Ugh. Sorry, I have terrible news for you. www.eater.com...
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: good mornning@morning! happy to have you onboard today, thanks for the good vibes! safe wishes to everyone out there...
	♥ 10:42am Hubig Pie: Yessir, Yeti B, unfortunately I be all out of grappa at the present time.
	♥ 10:42am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble I know what you mean about reading online. If things are of much length, I end up printing them out.
	♥ 10:43am Trouble: whoa! at douginJC. that is horrifying, so sad.
	♥ 10:48am Doug in JC: Yeah, incredibly sad. It's still shocking what people are capable of
	♥ 11:01am Ken From Hyde Park: This is nice. I appreciate the tributes to Toots from the various DJs this week.
	♥ 11:08am WoodsOfNH: I saw Pulsallama open for The Clash. I did NOT know what to think of them.
	♥ 11:09am Ike: I thought somebody said that Clay C. of The Pounding System was going to do a fill-in soon, but now I can't find it. It's not on the upcoming fill-ins list. Maybe I dreamed that.
	♥ 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: @Ike - It's listed on www.wfmu.org... He's subbing for Rich Hazelton on the 26th.
	11:13am Sigurður: Sounds matters
	♥ 11:15am Ike: Thanks @KFHP! Either that's in the wrong place, or I need a much stronger cup of tea.
	♥ 11:19am listener james from westwood: Hey, a daytime Polyglot today, for Fabio!
	♥ 11:20am Yes: hey all. does anyone have experience with acl surgery with older dogs? wondering if still active , if it is the way to go vs conservative treatments
	♥ 11:22am Ike: Oh yeah! Polyglot is excellent.
	♥ 11:24am WoodsOfNH: @Yes A few years back our aging cocker spaniel had a torn ACL. Our vet just recommended reduced activity (no jumping up on the couch/bad/using the stairs) for a couple of weeks. The early reduced activity was managed with some slow-the-doggy-down medication. And it really worked! The vet said he liked this approach because surgery success for this was not great.
	♥ 11:26am Carmichael: Heya Trouble and Thursdayers.
	♥ 11:27am Yes: thank you @woodsofnh mine is a 65 lb lab/collie mix. lots of conflicting information out there.
	♥ 11:28am seb: hey trouble! catching the show live after a long time. all the good vibes from down south.
	♥ 11:29am Trouble: hello to you seb!!!
	♥ 11:30am WoodsOfNH: The American promise is circling the drain. I wish i could be more positive about it.
	♥ 11:30am Trouble: i am going to you first: all mighty listeners who know all. question: is replacing a battery on an older apple macbook a difficult thang? do i have to take it in to be serviced? can i do it at home? does apple frown on this?
	11:31am dougseidel: my son did a replacement like that - use youtube tutorial for help - was very satisfying for him!
	11:32am Rev. Turnip Druid: I believe Apple frowns on anything that isn't buying-new-everything-all-the-time. Alas.
	11:32am oscarfate: check out ifixit.com - the buck stops there for this kinda thing
	11:32am @sag: @Trouble: if only there were a world wide, free database of text and video one could query for the answer.
	11:32am oscarfate: hello from Baltimore. long time listener first time commenter
	11:33am Tofu Kills People: Trouble, I recall replacing a battery on my MacBook Pro a few years back and it was pretty easy.
	♥ 11:33am Pale Son: @Trouble Depends on the model/year of the MacBook. www.howtogeek.com...
	11:34am Rev. Turnip Druid: [salutes vaguely east-northeast, towards the great city of Ballamo]
	♥ 11:34am YETI BOB: @Trouble: If it's old enough, the battery pops out with no tools. Otherwise you need to remove a few screws, you might need a special screwdriver. IMO it's totally worth it to keep older machines going (it's green, for one thing). It's probably out of warranty already so I don't think Apple cares what you do.
	♥ 11:34am Trouble: thanks@oscarfate: and welcome aboard the mighty comments ship wfmu
	♥ 11:34am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble I had the battery replaced on my 10 yr old Macbook Pro. Had it done at an independent computer store. Of course, I did it because it wasn't holding a charge for a very long time....and the replacement didn't help. Wah!
	♥ 11:35am YETI BOB: I'd replace it for you, if I were nearby! (Anything to keep WFMU on the air)
	♥ 11:36am βrian: @WoodsOfNH: "Oh, you wanted a new battery?"
	♥ 11:36am Webhamster Henry: @Trouble again, depends on the model. really old ones (2012) still had removable batteries, mine(2014!) it's glued in so it's a spit in the eye of right-to-repair people. It can be done by have with a kit from IFixit, but you have to be technologically fearless and a heat gun would help.
	♥ 11:37am Trouble: i had an older mac book that a friend gave me b/c it wasn't holding a charge, and i used it only for music to bring to wfmu, plugging it in while using it. this macbook was a hand me down from my son when he got a new one for college. i don't need a laptop, since we have a desktop, but this show would not be running at present if it wasn't for that hand me down laptop, whose battery is dying faster then it used to.
	11:37am kpx: Hi trouble: may I make an appeal to your fellow DJ on your chat board?. no worries if not.
	♥ 11:37am Pale Son: Yeah, I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself if it's not the popout kind of battery.
	♥ 11:38am Trouble: sure @ kpx: that's why we are here...
	11:39am gwtg: It depends on what year it was made. My 2010 was not complicated. I would go to iFixit.com and look up your model.
	♥ 11:39am Doug in JC: @Pale Son why not? A lot of computer stuff is easily DIY, even an apple product
	♥ 11:41am Pale Son: @Doug Because it is very easily DIY if it's the popout kind, very not if not. They made it purposely hard for users to do themselves.
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: thanks for all this info peeps! mine is a 2012, or 13, so i will look into all of your suggestions! can't afford a new one and i'm into the more green option to hold on to it
	11:41am Lucky: I forgot that Ronald Bell of Kool and the Gang died last week. Such a great group.
	♥ 11:42am Doug in JC: @Pale Son it's some screws and a ribbon cable. Though I suppose we all have different concepts of what is DIY and what is not
	♥ 11:44am YETI BOB: @oscarfate: I knew I recognized your name but it took me a minute to place it. 2666! Bolaño!
	♥ 11:44am Doug in JC: @Trouble Very possibly this one. I'm in the same boat but I don't have anywhere to take my macbook so I'm fine with just plugging it in www.ifixit.com...
	♥ 11:44am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! We're off for Salt Pond. Be well, all!
	♥ 11:44am YETI BOB: Happy paddling, pal!
	♥ 11:45am Doug in JC: Stay Salty, Handy. Think I'm at my posting limit, later everyone
	♥ 11:45am Trouble: thanks@doug in JC!
	♥ 11:45am PaulRobeson1920: @WoodsOfNH @11:30 Read “Here I Stand” by Paul Robeson 1958 ; )
	11:49am kpx: well thank you trouble: hello PB, pride and ego are very big and easily bruised and it's often on a two-way street. but I'm willing to take a fall and ask please will you consider unblocking me. it's like I said before, I like your show and I would feel better knowing that you could appreciate that. in conclusion, I just like to say whatever happens be well and peace.
	11:53am bdogg: Re:MacBook I just totally did this on a mid2012 MacBook it cost me like $16 for the little tools to open the thing up ,and $30 for a new battery ....VERY easy ! Good luck!
	♥ 11:57am Hubig Pie: Be careful with those ribbon cable connections, they be fragile beasts
	11:57am bdogg: Replace the hard drive with a SD too and it’ll be like a new laptop! :)
	♥ 11:57am Yes: thank you trouble. thank you friends
	♥ 11:58am Ike: Thanks Trouble & Matt! Be well, all.
	♥ 11:58am Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am Trouble: see you next week! thanks for sitting in, answering my questions and listening!
	11:59am kpx: thank you trouble: I've enjoyed your show and I hope she saw my humble request. Bye

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	9:07am Heidee: Klasse, Yeti! - Are you well?
	♥ 9:07am Pale Son: Morning, folks! Loving these Thursday morning vibes. In answer to the episode's name, if I could, I sure would've. Twice!
	♥ 9:07am Doug in JC: Good morning Y. Bob! It does seem like a good day
	♥ 9:08am YETI BOB: nematomorpha: you are in Vienna IIRC? Is that the "forest city". Heidee, heute bin ich gut gelaunt!
	♥ 9:09am WoodsOfNH: @YETI BOB I tried that run-multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse software. Couldn't get it to work dang it. I blame Windows 10.
	♥ 9:09am Handy Haversack: Doug, it was long but tending toward pretty. I hadn't driven quite that long at a stretch in a little while. Heidee, hello! I missed your greeting during WAB! Woods, we are in Penobscot, about 12 miles from Blue Hill. Canoe should be here in an hour! We're hoping for a pond and a bay today!
	9:09am Terr in DE: John , no FIRE haze ? where are you ? a little here in DE , but not as bad as when Carolinas burned
	♥ 9:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, modern people. Early voting commences October 24 in this county and I plan to participate on or near that date.
	9:10am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: Heidee: dein rauhaardackel?
	♥ 9:10am WoodsOfNH: @Handy Today is the day for that. Warmest of the week. And the wind has finally calmed down.
	♥ 9:10am YETI BOB: @Woods: Aw, too bad. I haven't used it in a while. If I get it working with Win10 I'll let you know.
	9:10am Mike W: Need this show badly today b/w Nonetheless am immediately taking dog out for dog stuff
	9:11am John from Madison: Wisconsin, it was hazy yesterday but moved thru.
	9:11am Mike W: this Luz Donoso image will be popping into my head all day...if I’m lucky
	♥ 9:11am Trouble: jealous of @handy to be up in the green of maine...but i am getting a stationary bike delivered today so i am attempting to regain activity in my suddenly new sitting down lifestyle
	♥ 9:11am Handy Haversack: I think it's the only day the tides line up for an afternoon paddle on the bay, too, Woods. But we have cool-weather paddling gear. We're here for canoeing!
	♥ 9:12am WoodsOfNH: @YETI BOB So then I tried something called Share Mouse. That _did_ work and it was easy to configure. But...the one window that I use a lot on the Windows box is an Oracle Virtualbox (running Linux). The mouse would not capture that window. Friggin' technology!!
	♥ 9:12am Woo: @YETI BOB, what neighborhood are you in? I though the stores on the Mag Mile were still boarded but I may be ill-informed. I've been to the city once in the last 6 months. On the plus side, when you visit Chicago now, weed is legal.
	9:12am Mike W: @Handy where is the flikr/livestream/periscope feed for us to follow yr adventures today?
	9:14am Mike W: i’m getting an F- so far in leaving the house (and this radio show) to walk my dog
	♥ 9:15am WoodsOfNH: Everything is made better with tablas.
	♥ 9:15am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning Ms. T, New Jersey, and modernists the world over.
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: @Mike W, you have to look through the eyes of the ospreys. It's a neat trick once you get the hang of it!
	9:16am !: Time to teach until early evening. Good bye.
	♥ 9:17am YETI BOB: @Woo: I'm near Noble Square in West Town. Wicker Park, Logan Square, and other "cool" neighborhoods have very few boarded up windows - a couple here and there but most of it came down after the protests. I don't spend a lot of time on the Mag Mile but I believe most of the boards have come down there too, I'm not sure. I do think the news media sensationalizes things like this. I'll take a bike ride this afternoon and have a look around. I'll report back.
	9:17am deborah: Time to teach until early evening. Good bye
	♥ 9:17am Handy Haversack: Assembled friends, has anyone seen listener Snoochienucci lately? I feel like it's been more than a few weeks, and he loved /The Modern World/.
	♥ 9:18am Doug in JC: Good luck Deborah!
	9:18am TDK60: The A.A.K. sarod sounds just right now.
	♥ 9:18am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning from Annapolis!
	♥ 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Take care ! / deborah.
	9:18am nematomorpha: @yeti bob: yeah, i'm in vienna. the killer-orange claimed austrians live in forests with highly explosive trees and the we have forest-cities. but yes, this is the skyline of vienna: i.pinimg.com...
	♥ 9:18am Doug in JC: Speaking of MIA, where's DJ Guin?
	9:19am Terr in DE: Woods NH, if you have Android check out Rhythm Free tabla app.
	9:20am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Brooklyn chirps for you.
	♥ 9:20am YETI BOB: @nematomorpha: I was glad to miss that reference, honestly. Can't even keep up with all the crazy things Killer Orange says!
	9:20am johnk77: great show ali akbar khan first "world music" artist i saw live around 1969 in ohio ear & mind expanding;>
	♥ 9:20am PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings from Grand St. In Jersey City! Beautiful summer day!
	♥ 9:21am PaulRobeson1920: Pay no attention to the clown... he is but a man... (a con man too)
	9:22am Mike W: @Handy [tries to remember login/pw for iOsprey app]
	♥ 9:22am Woo: @YETI, glad to hear it's not as bad as I assumed. Next Weds we are going to Pilsen for the premiere of the movie Dreaming Grand Avenue at a makeshift drive-in theater
	9:23am Mike W: ps @Handy I’m not as on-the-board as some but I know Snoochie’s handle and have not noticed it recently...
	♥ 9:23am Phillippe Bastille: I haven't seen the snooch for a while either
	♥ 9:26am YETI BOB: I found an instagram for @Snoochienucci but it's set to private. Last WFMU activity (click) was Aug 13. Hope he's OK. Handy - you know him better than me, maybe reach out with a contact email?
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble & three hands clapping. I vote....for WFMU every month.
	♥ 9:29am WoodsOfNH: @Terr in DE Thanks! Oh gees, I gotta put that away for the morning or I'll go down the tabla rabbit hole! ;-)
	♥ 9:30am Listener Gregory: This raga is rockin.
	♥ 9:31am YETI BOB: @Woo: Sounds great, have fun! Pilsen is awesome. If you see a tall shaggy creature with long hair and a WFMU t-shirt, it's probably me, so say Hi :)
	♥ 9:31am Nymor: This is lovely - so delicate. Bryce has been reminding me recently how beautiful, and calming, this music is - 14Aug & Sep11 shows in particular. Thanks Trouble :)
	9:31am Morphe': A moral question - Not An AMORAL QUESTION... a spider moved in to our house 3 months ago.... we have named her Bertha (gender unknown) We have almost no flying insects as Biz is shut down in Madrid... When I do the midnight recycling , I take an Olive Jar and capture wee bugs to feed Bertha. Is That horrible...?????????????????? I think no but I always have a small sad quam feeling [Is Quam a word??? It is now]... I eat cheese and eggs and dead animals if they appear on a plate and I can kill fish and eat them but I feel sorry for the wee bugs????? Not Catholic guilt..... No professional psychs need respond.... just the Regular - IR-regular listener!! appear on the plate.. Ps wee 9 year old Simon tagged/labeled the jar "Bertha's Lunch Box." Children are stupendous when not atrocious!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:33am Doug in JC: @morphe - I spritz my house spiders with water to keep them hydrated
	9:34am Lewis: It does seem more complicated teaching on line this go round - I too struggle with why this is so...
	9:36am Morphe': Handy - NanNook of the North... (good doc) ... quiet paddling sounds great!!!! took Simon to Alicante the other day for a super polluting Medeterranian Speed boat ride ....... #300 Horsepower ... He said it was the best day of his life!!!!!!!!!!!! Does Mr Pipes ride the kayak???
	♥ 9:36am Doug in JC: I caught a ceiling spider lowering herself into the bathroom sink to take a drink at 4 am not long ago: www.inaturalist.org...
	9:36am natbot: I'm a fellow teacher struggling with anxiety and I turn to your show (and WFMU) for solace!!! Thank you for what you do!!!
	9:37am Lewis: the syntax of that last post mirrors my confusion with my class...
	9:37am Heidee: @jdaAndAnouk @9:10 - That's a good guess, she looks like one in this picture because you can only see her head. If you saw the body, different kettle of fish! Ailsa is a Whippet-Bedlington mix and looks like a small version of a Scottish Deerhound. :-)
	♥ 9:38am Ajay from Krommenie / NL: yay Prana Crafter! William Sol is so talented!
	♥ 9:38am YETI BOB: @morphe': The word is qualm. And that's a great question. Every summer I plant flowers to attract bees. A few days ago I noticed a HUGE spiderweb that was strung between the flowerpots and a tree about 8 feet away. I've been watching all the bugs that get caught. And yesterday, there was a bee in the web! One of the bees I was trying to attract. So I removed the spider nest - it seemed somehow like this setup was unfair to the bees, a trap. But how about the spider whose web I wrecked? A real moral question. Then I realized - this is actually part of what it means to be human. Making decisions like this. Deciding what is a weed and what is "desirable". In fact, it's like playing God, deciding who lives and who dies. It's quite a burden and I'm sure we don't always get it right! But you have to make decisions like this anyhow, every day - there's no getting around it, if you live in the world. You play God every day. Just try to be a kind and merciful God, I guess ... Well, the web reappeared the next day, actually. Identical location & construction. Spiders are amazing!
	♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Speaking of Portishead, have you heard the recording of Beth Gibbons doing Gorecki's Symphony No. 3? Pretty amazing.
	9:40am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: @ Heidee :-) anouk says wuff… (malteser mix)…
	♥ 9:40am Acid Cazh: Damn, didn't know how badly I needed to hear Portishead this morning.
	♥ 9:40am steveo: i can breathe through my mask, but still love this song
	♥ 9:40am listener james from westwood: Portishead is what I need on this gloomy day, perhaps paradoxically.
	♥ 9:41am YETI BOB: @morphe': Also Nanook of the North is considered to be kind of problematic - a lot of the scenes were staged, and it portrays Inuit as somewhat less than human.
	♥ 9:41am listener james from westwood: This album stands fully up after ~26 years.
	♥ 9:41am Phin The Hyooman: Was just on a Portishead kick yesterday. Glad to see were on similar wavelengths, Trouble!
	♥ 9:41am Trouble: breathe on@ natbot!! we can do it!
	♥ 9:42am YETI BOB: (stepping out for coffee - bbiab)
	9:42am Morphe': On line teaching - as a parent of a 9 year old - is a disaster... and I was a teacher for 27 years... So. Bx and Bed Stuy (17-27 year olds).. Played TROUBLE Live in class... Favorite quote : "Yo Mista ... she's Fuckin' weird ..Those is birds she's playin???? She's fuckin' weird!!!! Those is Birds???" Thanks Trouble for openong up ears and minds and souls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:43am Trouble: @lewis: i think we are trying to get it o so right this time, whereas in march we were just trying to get it. or at least that is how i am feeling. I am trying soooo hard to make community with my students and make a real connection instead of just dishing out info
	9:44am Heidee: @jda - oh, it's Anouk who is that lovely doggie in the pic! wuff right back atcha! cuddles!
	♥ 9:44am sydnius: Online teachers: 2 screens for student monitoring! An essential resource.
	♥ 9:44am WoodsOfNH: We have a friend who is a teacher and she's overloaded with the whole hybrid model, making video's of her lessons, etc. It's tough.
	9:45am Lewis: yeah - in the spring a community had formed before we were all sent away and now we have to build it up in the virtual world. I so miss seeing the faces in real time and adjusting to what was going on in the classroom
	♥ 9:45am Trouble: @ woodsofNH: NO! i adore that piece i need to find her version. gracias!
	♥ 9:46am Trouble: @morphe': Excellant!
	♥ 9:47am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble I had no idea she could do such a thing. I don't know what the real opera world thought of it but I loved it.
	♥ 9:47am melinda: I really feel for everyone having to teach online. A friend of mine who teaches creative writing told me his work time has increased x 3 doing it all remotely.
	♥ 9:48am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modern worlders! Clicky star for the cricket suite!
	♥ 9:48am StringOFperils: A lot of clicky stars for crickets. Popular piece.
	9:50am Lewis: @melinda - but I am getting much better at making youtube videos...
	♥ 9:51am WoodsOfNH: Oh man, I need it now! lizdurette.bandcamp.com...
	9:51am Lewis: Thanks Trouble and Assembled WFMU folks - I must now turn off the radio, record a quick video and then do a couple of online discussion sessions...
	9:53am Morphe': YetI... I know you not but I respect yer insights.. (glad speelcheeck did not transmogrify that to INSULTS>>>) I FOOLED THE SPELL CHECK!!! To repeat myself ... YetI... I know you not but I respect yer insights.... All through the days and shows!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:54am Trouble: this New Yorker article is gorgeous and moving. People can be soooo amazing.www.newyorker.com...
	♥ 9:55am WoodsOfNH: I haven't received a New Yorker in a while. Post office hijinx??
	9:57am TDK60: Will look at that later Trouble. Hats off to the MTA workers. Over 100 passed in NYC from the virus.
	♥ 9:57am βrian: We've gotten ours. We pile them on the table, then read them online.
	♥ 9:57am Trouble: uh oh, maybe your subscription ran out? @ woods... it used to cost $$$, but now it's much less to subscribe.
	9:58am Morphe': YetI - I do know you through yer thoughtful comments over a long period of time... When not imprisoned in Madrid... I am in NYC ... met Handy/Kate/Bagpies for a beer in a park ... I do love Chicago so maybe one day beers along the center city railroad tracks or a back alley that stretches on for miles!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:58am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble recently got an email saying I was due to auto-renew in December so ???
	♥ 9:59am βrian: @WoodsOfNH: Any Cyrillic characters in that email?
	♥ 10:00am Webhamster Henry: I had a New Yorker dead tree subscription for a while - it was nice to read by natural light! but it was jut One More Thing.
	♥ 10:01am Trouble: @woods: suspicious... i hate reading online. absolutely prefer books to ebooks.
	♥ 10:02am βrian: I do like being able to zoom with the online version. Helps my tired eyes.
	10:03am Morphe': Yeti - one big problem!!! who goes out to buy a cup of Coffee???? I make the best coffee!!!!Pure Esspresso Colombiano... ... no dairy or faux dairy yes... brown sugar!!!! Come to my house.... That is a Platonic invite!!!!!!!!!!!!! Otherwise Ken would banish me!!!!!
	10:04am ?: well i didn't learn about lee riley until now, she's great. thanks
	♥ 10:04am βrian: Sugar in coffee? Avast!
	♥ 10:05am Doug in JC: brown sugar in coffee?
	♥ 10:05am βrian: Just roasted a pound of espresso yesterday afternoon. Tastes fine.
	10:06am Morphe': Must go get Simon from his first day of Madrid new school(4th grade) - wearing a sad ass uniform and clunky shoes.... Thanks Trouble and all!!!!
	♥ 10:06am Roberto: Seriously tho. We're all in a tizzy about what a few pro athletes are doing while hundreds of thousands are dying needlessly, the entire continent is under a smoke condition, and democracy as we know it is being aggressively eroded.
	♥ 10:06am βrian: Wisconsin: "At least 14 days before the election (in-person absentee voting). Varies by municipality. "
	10:07am Morphe': BLACK COFFEE NO SUGAR NO CREAM ...
	♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: morphster: was outside prepping the car for canoe duty. Bagpipe definitely comes along!
	♥ 10:07am Phin The Hyooman: TYM! South Carolina represent!
	♥ 10:08am βrian: I saw an exquisite cedar-strip canoe yesterday. Almost too pretty to use, but I bet it glides beautifully.
	♥ 10:08am Doug in JC: I feel like I've known this song for years
	10:09am ?: hooked right at the intro
	10:09am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: First heard this on Duane Train and I love it
	10:10am deborah: @ Trouble You are not alone if you have conflicting feelings about Remote or online teaching. I despise it! We will get through this. Got to go; Journalism class time, soon.
	♥ 10:10am Phin The Hyooman: @Doug: brown sugar in coffee actually is really good. We use the Florida Crystals: Demerara Cane Natural Sugar granules.
	♥ 10:12am Doug in JC: @phin interesting... I'll have to try it some time. I usually only put sugar in if it's really bad coffee
	♥ 10:13am βrian: Now coffee ice cream is a whole 'nother matter, to be sure.
	10:14am Morphe': Handy -muzst run... having Bagpipe envy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be safe and have fun... Going back to super pollute the Med this weekend????? You only die once... I respect yer cleanliness...
	♥ 10:16am βrian: Complete the sentence, "Is that a bagpipe in your canoe or ..."
	♥ 10:16am Doug in JC: Guess which city has the best Indian food in the entire country? www.cnn.com...
	♥ 10:18am PKNY: Damn is this Dyke & the Blazer track funky!
	♥ 10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Last summer, I came down to Monty Hall and I can vouch for the roasted cauliflower from the Indian restaurant down the block.
	♥ 10:21am YETI BOB: @morphe': Hey - I just got back from the coffeeshop. TBH I go there partly because it's run by an artist/filmmaker who I'm friends with and I'm hoping they don't go out of business. I make coffee (and a lot of tea) at home too. Would love to sit down with you some time for a drink or something, either in NYC or Chicago. TTYL!
	♥ 10:23am Trouble: soooo sorry: new york does not have early voting YET; it opens 2 weeks before.
	♥ 10:24am Doug in JC: @KFHP Sorry to report that place closed...
	♥ 10:24am PaulRobeson1920: Is that a bagpipe in your canoe or a canoe underneath your bagpipe?
	♥ 10:27am Roberto: I would love some roasted cauliflower right about now but my recent oral surgery precludes it.
	♥ 10:28am βrian: @Doug in JC: Ok, Jersey City is now officially on our list. There used to be a restaurant in Burlington, VT that rocked my socks, but it's long gone.
	♥ 10:29am Trouble: here is a chart with each state and their early voting dates: www.vote.org...
	♥ 10:29am Rtintera: That beautiful baby song made me feel better. Thx
	♥ 10:29am Roberto: Thanks, Trouble. That might just be the most useful chart ever.
	♥ 10:30am Doug in JC: @Brian Make sure to check out the truck stops on your way over :) www.npr.org...
	♥ 10:32am Trouble: @roberto: vote.org is working hard for success!
	♥ 10:34am Ken From Hyde Park: @Doug - Too bad it closed. I checked the map and the place I visited was on Greene Street, between Montgomery & York Streets.
	♥ 10:35am YETI BOB: a shot of maple syrup in coffee is great - i'm afraid i might be addicted to it
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: there is now a new indian restaturant in that same store front @ kenf rom hyde park
	♥ 10:37am Doug in JC: @Trouble Wasn't there supposed to be a new restaurant there? The story of what happened was horrible
	♥ 10:37am Webhamster Henry: I just dropped some home made toffee in my tea.
	♥ 10:37am Ken From Hyde Park: Good to know ... Thanks, Trouble.
	♥ 10:38am Hubig Pie: A shot of grappa in ya coffee ☕ and you be set for the day
	♥ 10:38am Ike: We only recently got early voting in New York. Why did it take until 2019 to get that passed? Because in 2018 we organized and voted out Cuomo's pet Republicans etc. from the state Senate. Then Cuomo had no choice but to pass early voting and other progressive legislation, which he either illicitly hated or didn't care about.
	♥ 10:39am WoodsOfNH: There's an Indian & Sri Lanken restaurant in Ellsworth, ME that makes mind-blowing food. Serendib. I had an Indian friend up here one time and she said it was the best stuff she'd had since coming to this country.
	♥ 10:39am YETI BOB: @Hubig: Caffè corretto!
	♥ 10:39am Webhamster Henry: There's a really good Indian restaurant in Rhinebeck, Cinnamon, that I hope is still open.
	♥ 10:40am redbee: @Yeti: I'm not a coffee drinker (can't handle so much caffeine) but I would occasionally splurge on a maple latte from a local cafe. Such an incredible combo of flavors!
	10:40am morning: Trouble! Good morning from smoky Portland. Every week your show is something I look forward too. (For at least 8+ years). I rarely get to listen live and I just discovered I can chat with you
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: @ douginJC i don't know this story. I just know i walked by and saw a new restaurant, but i haven't walked by there since march.
	♥ 10:41am Webhamster Henry: Ghastly story: www.nj.com...
	♥ 10:41am Doug in JC: @Trouble Ugh. Sorry, I have terrible news for you. www.eater.com...
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: good mornning@morning! happy to have you onboard today, thanks for the good vibes! safe wishes to everyone out there...
	♥ 10:42am Hubig Pie: Yessir, Yeti B, unfortunately I be all out of grappa at the present time.
	♥ 10:42am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble I know what you mean about reading online. If things are of much length, I end up printing them out.
	♥ 10:43am Trouble: whoa! at douginJC. that is horrifying, so sad.
	♥ 10:48am Doug in JC: Yeah, incredibly sad. It's still shocking what people are capable of
	♥ 11:01am Ken From Hyde Park: This is nice. I appreciate the tributes to Toots from the various DJs this week.
	♥ 11:08am WoodsOfNH: I saw Pulsallama open for The Clash. I did NOT know what to think of them.
	♥ 11:09am Ike: I thought somebody said that Clay C. of The Pounding System was going to do a fill-in soon, but now I can't find it. It's not on the upcoming fill-ins list. Maybe I dreamed that.
	♥ 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: @Ike - It's listed on www.wfmu.org... He's subbing for Rich Hazelton on the 26th.
	11:13am Sigurður: Sounds matters
	♥ 11:15am Ike: Thanks @KFHP! Either that's in the wrong place, or I need a much stronger cup of tea.
	♥ 11:19am listener james from westwood: Hey, a daytime Polyglot today, for Fabio!
	♥ 11:20am Yes: hey all. does anyone have experience with acl surgery with older dogs? wondering if still active , if it is the way to go vs conservative treatments
	♥ 11:22am Ike: Oh yeah! Polyglot is excellent.
	♥ 11:24am WoodsOfNH: @Yes A few years back our aging cocker spaniel had a torn ACL. Our vet just recommended reduced activity (no jumping up on the couch/bad/using the stairs) for a couple of weeks. The early reduced activity was managed with some slow-the-doggy-down medication. And it really worked! The vet said he liked this approach because surgery success for this was not great.
	♥ 11:26am Carmichael: Heya Trouble and Thursdayers.
	♥ 11:27am Yes: thank you @woodsofnh mine is a 65 lb lab/collie mix. lots of conflicting information out there.
	♥ 11:28am seb: hey trouble! catching the show live after a long time. all the good vibes from down south.
	♥ 11:29am Trouble: hello to you seb!!!
	♥ 11:30am WoodsOfNH: The American promise is circling the drain. I wish i could be more positive about it.
	♥ 11:30am Trouble: i am going to you first: all mighty listeners who know all. question: is replacing a battery on an older apple macbook a difficult thang? do i have to take it in to be serviced? can i do it at home? does apple frown on this?
	11:31am dougseidel: my son did a replacement like that - use youtube tutorial for help - was very satisfying for him!
	11:32am Rev. Turnip Druid: I believe Apple frowns on anything that isn't buying-new-everything-all-the-time. Alas.
	11:32am oscarfate: check out ifixit.com - the buck stops there for this kinda thing
	11:32am @sag: @Trouble: if only there were a world wide, free database of text and video one could query for the answer.
	11:32am oscarfate: hello from Baltimore. long time listener first time commenter
	11:33am Tofu Kills People: Trouble, I recall replacing a battery on my MacBook Pro a few years back and it was pretty easy.
	♥ 11:33am Pale Son: @Trouble Depends on the model/year of the MacBook. www.howtogeek.com...
	11:34am Rev. Turnip Druid: [salutes vaguely east-northeast, towards the great city of Ballamo]
	♥ 11:34am YETI BOB: @Trouble: If it's old enough, the battery pops out with no tools. Otherwise you need to remove a few screws, you might need a special screwdriver. IMO it's totally worth it to keep older machines going (it's green, for one thing). It's probably out of warranty already so I don't think Apple cares what you do.
	♥ 11:34am Trouble: thanks@oscarfate: and welcome aboard the mighty comments ship wfmu
	♥ 11:34am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble I had the battery replaced on my 10 yr old Macbook Pro. Had it done at an independent computer store. Of course, I did it because it wasn't holding a charge for a very long time....and the replacement didn't help. Wah!
	♥ 11:35am YETI BOB: I'd replace it for you, if I were nearby! (Anything to keep WFMU on the air)
	♥ 11:36am βrian: @WoodsOfNH: "Oh, you wanted a new battery?"
	♥ 11:36am Webhamster Henry: @Trouble again, depends on the model. really old ones (2012) still had removable batteries, mine(2014!) it's glued in so it's a spit in the eye of right-to-repair people. It can be done by have with a kit from IFixit, but you have to be technologically fearless and a heat gun would help.
	♥ 11:37am Trouble: i had an older mac book that a friend gave me b/c it wasn't holding a charge, and i used it only for music to bring to wfmu, plugging it in while using it. this macbook was a hand me down from my son when he got a new one for college. i don't need a laptop, since we have a desktop, but this show would not be running at present if it wasn't for that hand me down laptop, whose battery is dying faster then it used to.
	11:37am kpx: Hi trouble: may I make an appeal to your fellow DJ on your chat board?. no worries if not.
	♥ 11:37am Pale Son: Yeah, I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself if it's not the popout kind of battery.
	♥ 11:38am Trouble: sure @ kpx: that's why we are here...
	11:39am gwtg: It depends on what year it was made. My 2010 was not complicated. I would go to iFixit.com and look up your model.
	♥ 11:39am Doug in JC: @Pale Son why not? A lot of computer stuff is easily DIY, even an apple product
	♥ 11:41am Pale Son: @Doug Because it is very easily DIY if it's the popout kind, very not if not. They made it purposely hard for users to do themselves.
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: thanks for all this info peeps! mine is a 2012, or 13, so i will look into all of your suggestions! can't afford a new one and i'm into the more green option to hold on to it
	11:41am Lucky: I forgot that Ronald Bell of Kool and the Gang died last week. Such a great group.
	♥ 11:42am Doug in JC: @Pale Son it's some screws and a ribbon cable. Though I suppose we all have different concepts of what is DIY and what is not
	♥ 11:44am YETI BOB: @oscarfate: I knew I recognized your name but it took me a minute to place it. 2666! Bolaño!
	♥ 11:44am Doug in JC: @Trouble Very possibly this one. I'm in the same boat but I don't have anywhere to take my macbook so I'm fine with just plugging it in www.ifixit.com...
	♥ 11:44am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! We're off for Salt Pond. Be well, all!
	♥ 11:44am YETI BOB: Happy paddling, pal!
	♥ 11:45am Doug in JC: Stay Salty, Handy. Think I'm at my posting limit, later everyone
	♥ 11:45am Trouble: thanks@doug in JC!
	♥ 11:45am PaulRobeson1920: @WoodsOfNH @11:30 Read “Here I Stand” by Paul Robeson 1958 ; )
	11:49am kpx: well thank you trouble: hello PB, pride and ego are very big and easily bruised and it's often on a two-way street. but I'm willing to take a fall and ask please will you consider unblocking me. it's like I said before, I like your show and I would feel better knowing that you could appreciate that. in conclusion, I just like to say whatever happens be well and peace.
	11:53am bdogg: Re:MacBook I just totally did this on a mid2012 MacBook it cost me like $16 for the little tools to open the thing up ,and $30 for a new battery ....VERY easy ! Good luck!
	♥ 11:57am Hubig Pie: Be careful with those ribbon cable connections, they be fragile beasts
	11:57am bdogg: Replace the hard drive with a SD too and it’ll be like a new laptop! :)
	♥ 11:57am Yes: thank you trouble. thank you friends
	♥ 11:58am Ike: Thanks Trouble & Matt! Be well, all.
	♥ 11:58am Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am Trouble: see you next week! thanks for sitting in, answering my questions and listening!
	11:59am kpx: thank you trouble: I've enjoyed your show and I hope she saw my humble request. Bye
