Keep hearing rumble on certain pieces of music.

Seriously, some of their stuff _must_ be off
vinyl, as they play ages-old recordings of things
from famous conductors etc.
Otherwise it's mood-music library versions,
mostly, or new CDs they are plugging.
But they can't be playing vinyl live these days -
everything is digitised and off a server (a laptop
would do!) for playout.
So the question is what filtration is applied at
"ingest". I don't hear clicks and pops, but those
are pretty easy to deal with digitally. So is
rumble, but they might not filter the LF.
Might you do a spectrum analysis in Audacity or
similar, to see if there is consistency?

Interesting. Can you still get hearing tests during the Covid?
I had 0one last October

I suspect that it depends on the area. I keep hearing / reading that it
is difficult / impossible to get a GP appointment or even see them face
to face but I have had no problem. I rang after 1600h a week or so ago
and got an appointment for next morning at 1015.

I could not get an appointment with my GP so he came to see me on his
way home. That was easier for both of us. I think the no "face to
face" news was in the Daily Mail. I don't read that paper.
Indeed so. I wanted to see a doctor but got a telephone appointment
followed by an "in person" blood test. (dificult to do those on the phone).
Interstingly the bruising from the blood test is still there, just, after
3 weeks. Perhaps that's a sign of old age

They always say that nurses are better at taking blood samples or giving injection than doctors. :-)
I have a blood test every month or so and the doctor usually has to try several times before she gets enough blood.

In my experience my GP is the best at taking blood. He gets the
location first time. I've found that one of the district nurses is
just as good as my GP but I've also had experience with one who had to
try a few times before she found a suitable vein.

informal triage system and if the situation can be dealt with over the
phone it will be but if a face to face appointment is needed this will
be arranged.
We know an entire cohort from the 1980s who either
have or can't wait to retire. Almost none of them
will be doing anything medical part time after
they quit.
My wife is medically qualified and one of my helpers has surgical
experience. Since retirement both have been asked to do Covid work.
It's all been by phone calls from hospital staff. One of the callers
is obviously a machine responding to yes/no answers. It sounds like a appointment conformation and reminder machine with modified text.
In a different vein(!), a fortnight ago, someone cut the network cable
to the practice, which took BT until 6PM to fix, meaning they could do
almost nothing all day (no access to patient records, etc). The entire
Several retired friends tried to volunteer for Covid work during the
worst parts of the pandemic, only to be told they had to provide their
own insurance, and do several training courses on subjects such as >handwashing and diversity (yup, really).
So not a happy crew these days.--

Was it normal practice for US TV to shoot film (on made-for-TV programmes)
at 30 fps, or did they use standard cinema rate of 24 fps and show it at
30 fps using 3:2 pulldown?
I know that film for UK/European film was shot at 25 rather than 24 fps
and shown at that speed, and cinema film is shown at 25 fps - which is why there are no motion artefacts on 625/25 TV (unlike on 525/30 TV in US) because there is no alternating 2 and 3 TV fields per film frame.
Given the lack of motion artefacts on Star Trek, I presume it was shot at
24 fps and shown (in the UK) at 25 fps, rather than being shot at 30 and shown at 25 using some weird pulldown (30 to 25 isn't a nice easy ratio of alternating 2 and 3 fields per film frame like 30 to 24 is).
