We're also still ok with getting books. We have a few too many for our shelf space, but at their current ages, our kids are aging out of books about as quickly as they receive new ones. I just need to do a better job of giving away the old ones more regularly.
And that's just my parents. I can politely talk to them about not getting physical things for my kids, but then there's all of the extended family that loves to get them big, cheap plastic stuff, too. I know they're trying to be generous and don't really understand the fallout, but I'm starting to reconsider the whole "it's the thought that counts" idea.
I need to do a better job of helping the kids periodically go through and give stuff away, but 1) try explaining to a 3-year-old why giving away your toys is a good thing, and 2) the influx of new things always seems to outstrip the rate at which I can find time to get rid of stuff.
Funny to me that how... #00FF00 is Lime... what we actually refer as Green in daily life is close to #008000
The ticking sound really isn't that bad. After a couple of days I was able to ignore it. Other people can hear it in quiet environments, but it seems like most people don't notice it. I do occasionally move to turn off my turn signal while driving only to realize I'm hearing my valve, not the car.
As for how long one can go, I was diagnosed at 6 months old, but I've read stories of people in their 60s or 70s when they're first diagnosed. It's a very common condition; about 1% of the population have it, and I personally know a few other people who've been diagnosed. It also seems to vary pretty substantially in its severity; it seems lots of people could have minor cases and not know until later in life. I was told at various times that I'd need surgery by the time I was 14 or 26, so I consider 34 a win in my scenario.
My new mechanical valve ticks audibly, and as a musician I was a little worried about how it might affect my sense of rhythm or tempo. Fortunately, I've gotten pretty good at ignoring it, especially when there's lots of other sound, but I can pretty much always hear it.
The sequences shown have BPMs associated with them. I wonder if the product engineers adjusted the EKG results to line up to a particular BPM or just selected portions where the patient's heart rate was pretty steady. I also wonder if there will be any ability to change the BPM on the drum machine. Either way, this is a fun project.
Edit: wording
And then Clara came along. It's kind of like how Capaldi and Whittaker went; Jenna Coleman seems like a pretty good actress given a vacuous role. Even the character started out as an interesting twist with lots of potential for good story telling, but it seemed like Moffat couldn't quite figure out what he wanted to do with her but couldn't let her go, either. I don't remember exactly how long she was the primary companion, but it felt like an eternity (and I guess in canon, it sort of was).
*As an exercise:* do you classify based on the means of playing the instrument or by the actual source of the sound?
If it's by the means, then the *piano* is a keyboard instrument, but if by the source of the sound, it's percussion... or is it a string instrument (chordophone) being played by means of percussion which is being triggered by means of keyboard? Is percussion only ever a means of playing? If so, what are drums, membrane instruments? And are cymbals a different category?
And then what about a *harpsichord*? It's another strung-keyboard instrument, but its strings are plucked rather than hammered. How should it be classified?
And then there's *bass guitar*, clearly an electric chordophone unless it's being slapped in which case it's obviously percussion... but its sound is actually reproduced by a speaker cone at the end of an electrical path that varies in complexity... unless it's being recorded directly to tape/digital without a speaker being used at all. Does the classification of a bass guitar depend on listening format?
It's kind of like when people say, _"Actually, a tomato is a fruit,"_ or, _"There's no such thing as a fish."_ Botanically/taxonomically, sure, those people are absolutely correct, but then a ton of other things that we refer to as vegetables (most of them, off the top of my head) are also technically fruit. In fact, botanically speaking, there's no such thing as a vegetable (huh, kind of like fish... I guess we could consider them seafood).
*To sum things up*, I guess my point is that categorizations are somewhat flexible (in many cases even subjective). More importantly, they're only meaningful when they help us to solve a problem. By extension, they only apply to a particular context. A tomato is both a fruit and a vegetable; you just need to decide whether you're a botanist or a chef.
We finally realized the problem was that excess ink was drying up on the (outlet/spout/I'm not sure of the right term) where it's fed out of the cartridge and onto the paper. In short, *we weren't printing _enough_.* Sure enough, as long as we print a page or two a week, it keeps working properly. Also, for some reason, the "Clean print heads" function or whatever it's called doesn't resolve the issue.
I'm genuinely happy for everyone who has planted a new garden, taken up a new hobby, started a new software project, etc. For those of us who can't take our kids to daycare or school right now, though, quarantine has meant less time to do the things we already had to do.
The concept of (consumer-grade?) permanent data storage triggers some response from him.
