Do you believe it might be possible that the frequency band of human speech is not determined by such factors at all but more of a function of height? kids have higher voices adults have deeper voices. Similar to stringed instruments: viola high pitched and bass low pitched.

I'm no expert in these matters just speculating...

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Isn't it basically a matter of time until we encounter an asteroid the size of the one that hit earth 6.5·10⁷ years ago?

Has anybody considered this may not be a bug but a feature?

They might intend to get indie apps off the store. Maybe the maintenance is too much for them, and this is a lower backlash way to do it than outright banning indie apps. This way the indie devs leave on their own by becoming disgruntled.

Not touching OpenAI's chatgpt. I will wait for the FOSS competitor to come out that can run on my own computer.

Intriguing! I am new business, and my online ads campaign seen by 4000+ people produced maybe about 2 installations. Appealing to people in real life was much more effective for me. I know my target audience is in the hundreds of thousands but I just cannot reach them through more or less blind online ads.

Oof! Think about it, when was the last time you saw an ad, and went on to buy that product or service?

Who are these people who see an advertisement on the side of the road and then go out and buy that very thing?

It's a large universe, somebody out there is bound to use ascii. Proposing an ascii federation for this spiral arm of the galaxy.
