an observation:
lots of words that mean "of infinite duration" start with e
endless
eternal
everlasting
"with all due respect" is a great phrase because you can say it to someone who doesn't deserve any respect (and thus all due respect is zero) and they'll read it as more respectful anyway. you don't need to lie, and you don't have someone angry at you for being disrespectful (okay maybe you do, I dunno)
I mean I do know what distinguishes metal (the class of elements) from rock (the type of compound) but the music genres are a bit less well defined
what distinguishes metal (the music genre) from rock (the other music genre) anyway?
yes hello this has been the "felthry just switched in after like three quarters of a day and is replying to stuff from hours ago" segment

keep coming back to this idea from last week....... really should do something with it but what?
Average person: "inner lining of the skull"
Scientist: "endocranium"
Me: "membrain"
Advice needed: Does anyone know what the best method for cleaning spilled soda out of a carpet? It's not sugar-free, so we really want to be sure to get the sugar out before it attracts bugs
It's somehow satisfying that 100 in hex is 0x64.

hey, folks who have / run / make those "ebooks" or "markov" bots?
could you please CW their posts?
like 1/2 of my mutes are from these. it's actually so frustrating to read a toot 5 or 6 times trying to understand it, only to find out it was a bot. especially as someone who struggles with reading
a quick CW, and they're actually quite fun! i know what i'm looking at before getting into it, and they can be funny
"well then, just don't follow" -> these get boosted into my TL. a lot
Question to whoever wants to answer it: What do you consider to be the difference, if any, between a glitch and a bug? What about a programmer oversight?
Beryllium is a neat metal.
Do not meddle in the affairs of chemists, for they have access to fluorine.
Instead, outside of some chords, a sixth appears to be used wherever one might expect a fifth. I think this gives the music a more open feeling, fitting the intent they had of making the world seem large, ready to be explored.
Where the series' iconic overworld music opens with a two-note descending fifth motif, which remains intact even in divergent incarnations like Twilight Princess's overworld, Spirit Tracks instead opts for a two-note ascending sixth, which maintains the _feel_ of the original while introducing a wildly different piece. In fact, the descending fifth motif seems conspicuously absent from this piece entirely. In fact, there are very few fifths in this track at all.
Realm Overworld
Toru Minegeshi
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Spirit Tracks is not the best Zelda game (though by no means the worst), but its music is truly outstanding in the series. The composers chose to diverge from the standard Zelda music formula; the themes of this game do have callbacks to the previous entries, but they are decidedly their own thing; look, for example, at the main theme of this piece.

Icelandic word of the day: 'hundalógík'. Literally: 'dog logic'.
Used to describe reasoning that looks logical at first glance but actually turns out to be complete and utter nonsense on every level.

After the area is discovered, word of its properties slowly spreads, and soon its inhabitant builds a city. The city walls, being a more solid boundary, replace the natural boundaries of the effect, even as the city grows, spreading the effect out over time as a metropolis eventually forms.
The population grows fairly quickly, as many people leave wanting to return, to experience that again.

Worldbuilding thought!! A geographic region where, due to natural magical processes, every person entering gets mentally merged with everyone else present, becoming a single person with however many bodies there happen to be in the area. Whenever one person's body leaves the region, their mind is unmerged and put back in that one body without causing any harm.
