Then give me things to work on. Some task to perform or some problem to solve.

Damn, I underestimated your generation!
Yeah, Mad-libs are classic, beyond age & technology, right?

Oh, check this out-- I remembered yet another classic Stuart Smith adventure just now. It was called “Return of Heracles,” set in Ancient Greece. IMO that, Rivers of Light and Ali-Baba were great because they were not just fun little rogue-like RPG’s, but because they were also purely fascinating, containing loads of little historical facts. <3

Holy-Frampen-wanken-winkles, does that take me back…! oO

Right, I remember… Stuart Smith, I think he was.
He also did the very cool, excellent “Ali-Baba” adventure.

Those were such FUN games, back in 8-bit days.
Back when we were little kids, haha. ❤️

You’ll have to ask Keef Richers, mate.

Oohhhhhh…!!

(and btw, try talking in to a spinning fan sometime; it’s fun!)

Ohhhh… hey, OP! 😅
I hope I didn’t offend you with my comment. (oof, I guess I didn’t, hopefully?)

It’s just that I couldn’t understand very well the logistics you described in terms of how to aim the shower nozzle towards one’s mouth. As in-- from the front or from the side? Or in some other way…

Your English is certainly good IMO, but at a certain point, it’s also common for a learned language to not be “up to scratch” in terms of certain precise communications. Again, I intend no insult or critique whatsoever.

For example, I can understand castellano & français, but I’m a complete mess trying to write or orate that way. If one of those is your native language, I’d be interested in hearing you describe the shower-head technique in your own language.

I’m pretty-well lost here. So OP was complaining in a post to Technology that some kind of writing tool wasn’t working on a comment? And somehow that triggered the automod to delete?

But… for what reason, exactly?

Feel free if it suits you:

Funny how one can get competent in another language (I’m assuming OP is a native German-speaker communicating in English), and it can actually make communication *more* difficult at a certain stage of the learning process.

I guess I’ll have to try it to find out. Seems like I’d almost start choking on the water trying to do that, but maybe it doesn’t work that way.

I’m not sure I’m understanding the principle, here. So presumably the shower is off, there’s no moving water, and somehow the shower head is acting as a kind of resonating instrument…?

On another note, I’ve found that talking in to a spinning fan is fun, as it produces a sort of “Cylon Warrior” effect.

Excellent.

500-600Myrs ahead (all while everything gets hotter and hotter, outpacing species ability to deal with it), photosynthesis as we know it will stop working.

Bullshit.

Our “technology,” culture, practice and morality keeps proving that the rich are obsessed with their wealth, power and privilege, and don’t give a flying fluff about future needs nor adaptation.

Your presumption is that age-old one that naively assumes that new tech = betterment of reality for the human condition. But it rarely actually works that way outside of stuff like vaccines.

No it won’t.

In 500-600Myrs, life under known parameters will be completely impossible.

Oh, I see. You’re thinking of a pedal-fX unit to slip between mic and amp? That’s a solution from a considerably different angle. Also pretty pricey!

Stuff like the Ableton (etc) would ultimately be more powerful & versatile I think, but wouldn’t be nearly as plug-n-play as the pedal.

If you’re meaning a physical control unit, Ableton pads are pretty reasonable I think, with some maybe US$60 or so? I guess a key point is whether it’s meant to operate standalone, or in conjunction with software running on a computer. I think most want to run the software.

How your friend’s mic connects would also be a factor, plus knowing what their existing equipment is. Some mics need power, some don’t (like the classic Shure SM58), and you might need a digital interface, depending. I have a “Focusrite” (model Scarlet 2i2) for such, and it’s nice because the two inputs are multipurpose, taking both 3-prong microphones as well as guitar patch cables.

Also of note is that there’s free software (both DL and online) for looping and effects, so it comes back to whether their computer will be involved or not. I think smartphones can work, too.

Right, it would need to be blended up with some water such that it quickly sunk in to the soil, like the fish guts liquid fertiliser.

Limpets are indeed molluscs. Crustaceans are like underwater insects, with every single part of their bodies typically covered in thin-ish keratin-based plating. That said, they include some oddballs like barnacles, which build shells more like bivalve molluscs do (clams and such).

You’re right about the different feeding methods of limpets and filter-feeders. Limpets are like gastropod molluscs (snails, etc) in that they eat directly from a surface or prey.

As for using them as fertiliser, maybe, but isn’t protein recommended against usually?

Oh, I’d generally thought that most animal material (and of course waste) makes for good fertiliser, but maybe it depends. In truth, I was thinking back about a garden project in which we used a kind of ‘fish guts’ solution to help grow produce. The plants loved it!
