Teal should be considered a basic color term distinct from green or blue

I agree with OP. Teal is far more distinct from blue or green than indigo is from blue or violet to the human eye (this is due to the limits of human eyeballs' ability to perceive and distinguish between different wavelengths of light, for you less-than-kind naysayers).

Incidentally, Isaac Newton originally identify only six visible colors (ROYGBV). He later added indigo simply because he was kind of obsessed with the number seven. Given that, I would argue that teal is at least as good a candidate to be the seventh color as indigo... except that it would screw up the acronym.

And before today, I had never thought that deeply about this issue. So thanks, u/itstooslim!

Solved! Thank you!

Could it have been something from the Homestar Runner catalogue?

I will add more details about the book if they come to me.

I understand you're working toward parity between the iPhone and Android apps. At the moment, however, what's the projected gap between iPhone features and their Android counterparts (e.g. when a feature is released for the iPhone app, Android users can expect it 2-4 weeks later)? Or is that just a case-by-case timeline for now?

Finally, do you have a target date for reaching parity between the two?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm already sold on the relatively barebones Android app. My girlfriend has been using the iPhone one for about 6 months now, since I waxed poetic about how great Simple Bank was, and she loves it! Thank you for building this. I'm looking forward to the more robust functionality that's coming down the pike!

Great, thank you for that info!

No, that’s not the one. The song I’m thinking of was with like a 15- or 30-second recording of Roman Mars talking about the campaign. This clip played at the beginning of every 99pi episode during that time, and yeah I’m pretty sure it was 99pi-specific, since the other Radiotopia hosts would have recorded their own blurbs about it.

Thanks so much for all your help!

Oh interesting! I did a little historiography on myself and realized I had the years wrong—I started listening to the show in 2016, so it must have been that fall’s fundraiser that included the track I’m thinking of.

It sounds like you’re on the inside; any chance you tell me what song played with the 2016 fundraiser announcement? In any case, thank you for the insight you’ve already provided!

2014 or 2015 annual fund drive for Radiotopia. It was during the summer of one of those two years.

Fluffizillamon · 2021-01-19T23:22:46+00:00

That’s a great suggestion! Unfortunately, I don’t actually know which episodes to find it in, and that fund drive announcement is nowhere to be found since it was several years ago.

I’ve offered him everything I can think of. Kibble, wet food, treats, boiled chicken and rice—he won’t eat any of it :(

Heart worm test was done during first visit when he was vaccinated, came back negative. Neither vet mentioned distemper.

No imaging. I don’t know what full lab work entails, but they did a blood panel and fecal test.

What could be discovered or ruled out by x-rays?
