   I am not a fan of the esoteric language of legalese and have used this very example to illustrate how flaccid a handle most folks have on language. I'm sure you've also heard, many times, the terms burgle and rob used synonymously

   Granted, the schedule is of maximum generosity. But does it not seem unfair to ask a monkey to compose the entire works of Shakespeare, considering Shakespeare himself might have been incapable of such a feat? And while it may take an army

   I make spoons and spatulas from various hardwood, one of me favorites being Mexican cocobolo. They hold up exceedingly welland despite reports of it containing irritants, neither myself or those I've made them for have any problems - I

   Will, I looked at your site and didn't see a contact option. I'm quite tired and am often worthless by evening, so I'll look again come morning.

   I have another riser to copy the connectors. I have a not so technical drawing of the stringer and a wood/Al prototype.

   Thanks for the insight. I think you're correct... My area is very gravy oriented in general.

   To the machinist/s here: For nearly a year, I've been contacting local machinists for a small[*] project which involves 1) an accurate cut on both ends of a 17" billet of T6061, 2) two crescent cuts, 3) up to 8 threaded holes

   I've never fully understood this voice in the 'ed thing. Does anyone with internal dialogue have schizophrenia? Or is this literal, auditory voice, indistinguishable from actual voice? Also, there's old technology in the wild

    I'm excited by sodium ion batts, especially in the 18650 format. Everyone's aware the danger of lithium ion with this format - lots of burns, fires and a death[1] caused by the cap of a flashlight being propelled into the throat o

    This gave a chuckle. It's one of those cognitive dissonance things where it comes off as facetious, but quickly registers as true. And with intel Management Engine, we could probably say the same for most everything else. On that note,

    On the anecdotal side of benefits and addiction, podcast host Shawn Ryan, former Navy Seal and CIA operative, states very clearly that his experience with DMT abruptly excavated him from a pit of addiction that included alcohol and heavy pr

    This seems kindof heroic to me. I really appreciate such conscientious diligence with this subject and the comparatively fair, well-considered compromise of privacy vs slime control. I wish such fights and compromise were more common, rathe

    Well, I'm not sure cognition entirely without language is even possible for non larval humans. Language is a natural tendency and it arises regardless of documentation, scribblings or utterings. It exists whether audible or not. Langua

    Considering that, in 2024, if not a majority, then, still, a vast portion of our consciousness is words. Perhaps not for the illiterate, but for many, much of our knowledge is through the written or spoken word. [Edit: Even a hypothetical p

    What a ridiculous proposal. Give it back to the Timucans, and if you can't find any, which you won't, consider the Seminoles. Billy Bowlegs for governor - I know he wouldn't turn the State Parks into golf courses!

    I want to point out the absurdity of this for those overly technical, legalese/intellisleaze types capable of rationalizing anything. The types that think a 200 page agreement is necessary and fair procedure before saying "good mo

    I spent at least an hour in the eye of Milton. At one point, you could hear a leaf drop and the sky was strangely bright in all directions, though power was long gone. This was a 1:1000 miracle and could have annihilated the entire area. Ha

    All valid points, but objectively, they are causing unnecessary problems or worse. I may be encouraged to feel dumb while doing so, but I'll certainly not be discouraged from doing it anyway.

    I appreciate the insight, but think that regardless of terms, agreements, etc, that they cross lines and go too far. I'm thoroughly confident that the public will concur. And if a particular unethical or hostile business practice is le

    I'm not directly arguing against this, but it seems to me that this would eliminate a large part of the 'survival market'. Incremental debt, paycheck to paycheck accounts for much of the population. Personally , I'd rat

    If I went awol from Linux, I'd give abelton a go, but I won't. Now that pulse and alsa seem dead (forgot name of new substitute), at least in Debian, I might pursue some of these.

    As a bumbling occasionally drooling dilettante with exquisite ears, I wonder if I'm capable of figuring this out. Seems a hopeful route otherwise .

    I did. And spent a lot of time with it (and other stuff) using (or trying to use) a midi keyboard. I remember being thrilled to find it. Then the jack/alsa/pulse war began and when that came to an end, it was endless latency. Then

    Slightly more in the direction of hypothetical would-be styles, minus the beats - I am mostly anti beat: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tbLt0S0W5jE&list=OLAK5uy_kY6oi... Twas the first that came to mind, definitely not

    I'm an arpeggio fiend. I could easily and gladly live without ever hearing another beat again, though I could tolerate the tablas I suppose... but melody is what I need. My keyboard skills are crippled and I don't even have one, m

    I thoroughly agree with your grayed comment. It doesn't necessarily imply that it's all greed and evil, but there's enough of it to dignify your statement, without applying my own experience.
