I said yesterday I kept meaning to show friends here around my hunting grounds. I'm trying to figure out how best to get you there.
Also, I have a LOT of cleaning to do today, so I'm going to be ducking in and out.
@KitRedgrave I know was interested, at least
music theory, microtonal music
Writing this up so it'll be somewhere other than my own notes.
The notes of 22-EDO are C, C#, Db, D, D+, D#/Eb, E-, E, E#/Fb, F, F+, F#/Gb, G-, G, G#, Ab, A, A+, A#/Bb, B-, B, B#/Cb, and back to C.
A single 22-EDO step is called a slice. Two slices make a semitone (s), three slices make a still (T) whole tone, and four slices make a sparkling (P) whole tone; major scales are thus built T-P-s-P-T-P-s.
A fifth (13 slices) and a fourth (9 slices) make an octave. A major third (7 slices) and a minor third (6 slices) make a fifth. A sparkling whole tone (4 slices) and a still whole tone (3 slices) make a major third.
@Kyresti , who I know is interested in this stuff.
Human Domestication Guide dream report
The other night I dreamed that an Affini wanted me as a pet again. I cited my "as long as I can read fanfiction and play video games" clause about being enpetted, and we immediately got bogged down with debate over precisely what video games I was allowed to play that my prospective owner approved of (due to I guess violence etc).
The dream then got distracted with other things.
bunker time, y3, d60, self, timekeeping
(And it's rained again. Because of course it has. 💙)

Also, it's my birthday, and I'm a prime number of years old again!
Try never to tell someone to "Just Google it." Search engines tend to refine and curate results based on past searches, so the person being told to "Just search" will get inferior or counterfactual results. The curious or confused person asking for your help lacks your exocortex.
That said, we need to curate more of our own resources that others can safely search without running into spam, propaganda, or lies.
Telling people to "Just Google it" helps anti-vaxxers, hate groups and the like to survive and thrive.

Americans: I'd hate to live in a dreary commie land where all housing is identical and I'm not allowed to use it as I see fit
Also Americans: well I'd like to paint my house a nice bold blue, but then it might not resell for as much. Beige it is! Wait hang on, the HOA is emailing me about my food garden they say is unsightly. I'll have to dig it up.
My little lambda calculus primer is on the HN front-page this morning.

Regarding Duke Nukem Forever leak:
Yes, it's a bit sad to realize that literally 99% of the legendary 2001 E3 trailer is just tiny pre-staged chunks, BUT it's pretty astounding to see that most of it is actually functioning. Together with the amount of levels of the actual game, my impression is that they could have absolutely polished it off and released it in 2002-2003. There's just so much in there already.
A fox ever on the hunt for knowledge, and the best hunters catch enough to share.
