    Poetry and musical chorals might be the final bastion of imperial measure. I'd challenge any writer, even Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, or Ian Anderson the lyricization of "16 Tons" into "load 14514.9558 kilograms and and whadda ya get"...

    I would challenge any of the testosterone deficient singers of today in any genera of what laughingly tries to pass for music to try and sing any of Tennessee Earnie's songs Think of how John Henry or Big John would sound sung by Bieber
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    That jes makes me headbone hurt.
    Lol "testosterone deficient" isn't the only problem, a crop of "estrogen laden" performers isn't relieving it.
    While I can't provide a direct quote, Noel Gallagher remarks the crop main fail is delivering material sufficient listeners can identify with in a positive way. Frank S's offer of Sinatra "My Way" isn't one of mine, but the message is undeniable.
    Somehow, our HMT family fits right in with that. Could there be a broader strata? I am not surprised.

    around 150 would be about the minimum I would want I've tried printing email pictures without first trying to enhance them they are usually around 75 DPI
    A trick I have used several times is to up size in Microsoft office to 30% larger at a time then save then auto correct and repeat several times until the saved size is 400% larger than original then print them off on my smaller printer on photo paper they come out more or less fair there is only so much enlargement that can be done but a good scanner can do wonders to a wallet size photo if you want a 4x6 print No where near what a true photo enlarger can do at the lab though and even those depend on the exposure setting the photo was taken on and the clarity and lighting.
    There was studio in Kuwait that printed wrap adds for the sides of the buses they could take a digital photo of a painting about 3500 by 2400 and blow it up to fit the side of the bus which would look like it had been painted on by Rembrandt himself they were that good
