Here's a comparison of the 4th of July Hit List from 2023 with the one from this weekend. This shows what year the hits came from. The 2023 list was the top 400 songs and the 2026 list is the top 250 songs. The percentage year-by-year looks pretty similar. In both cases, about 60% of the hits were from 1969 to 1973. And both lists show a noticeable drop-off in quality in 1974. Thanks to u/mistersuitcase2004 for the data.

From the Repayment Calculator, if I click on “Apply” for the RAP plan, it says:  “Proceed to Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) Plan Request.”  Why doesn’t it say to proceed to the RAP Plan Request?  Is this a bug?  As noted below, an IDR plan is one of our options, but I am not clicking on it. 

Details: I am helping a friend move off of the SAVE plan on Mohela.  These are 6.8% loans with a balance a little under $20,000.  This person has very low income, and so the RAP plan looks attractive.  She received the email from Mohela on July 1.  I’ve helped them with the Repayment Calculator and we get four options:  (1) Income-Based Repayment (IBR) Plan, (2) Repayment Assistance Plan, (3) Graduated Repayment Plan, and (4) Standard Repayment Plan.  Not sure why clicking on RAP doesn't say "Proceed to Repayment Assistance Plan."

Does anyone remember the name (or other details) on the Beatles radio documentary from the early 1970s? Is it on the internet? This was a chronological history of the band including snippets of their songs. The narrator had one of those great “voices of god.” It must have been a syndicated show that local AM radio stations could buy and play on the air.

This is *not* the “The Beatles Story” which is an American LP on Capitol from the early 1960s.

I will soon have 24 months of data on my electric vs. natural gas use for the 12-months before and 12-months after installing a heat pump. Does anyone know of a good Excel model to compare the energy use and energy cost with this data? Just to be clear, I will have electric solar generation therms, electric purchase therms, natural gas therms and the respective fixed and energy costs for electric and natural gas. Any help is appreciated.
