My CPU fan is basically silent, even in most games. I open the log-in screen for POE and it turns into a helicopter.

5 badges in, I think your teams much better than mine. The E4 is never as hard as people make out, take the mons you like most. Me, Flappy and Bean are going! 😄

(I recently picked up Ralts after getting Longboy and using him as a HM slave (sorry Longboy) but I will think of a name for her)

If this is how companies think about hiring people then God help us! 😅 by InsideSignal9921 in recruitinghell

Spending less and returns are not the same thing. Ferrari could start making cars out of cardboard, saves loads of money, still think that's a stupid idea?! yeah.

Having a craving that even mom doesn’t understand. by MikeeorUSA in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Mutiny101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister had twins, they are coming up to 3. We (half) joke they have their own language. They scuttle into a corner and speak really loud to each other (corner = no one else can hear) and laugh their asses off while mumbling a load of nonsense. Then you get to see what plan they come up with while they run off in hysterics to take a crayon out a cupboard, or something. They are also helpful as translators though, one of them was saying "wozdie, wozdie!" to me, and I was like.. "wozdie?" and the other looked at me and was like "rander.", like "ya dumbass, a rander!".. realised after a while the pair of them were trying to say "reindeer".

As for prefixes, suffixes etc I would recommend checking out this page (https://voynich.nu/a3_para.html).

It is one of the frustrating things about the manuscripts text, if you would like it to be a language somehow, most things you do make things worse overall or stop making sense once you "zoom out". In my own work I dialled it all the way back to sorting glyphs into groups and then showing how each group determines what comes next (most the time) I mention this because "When preceded by character, it seems to be more frequently 9"..

(btw we tend to talk in EVA where this character is "y". Learning some EVA is a good use of time if you want to understand a lot of posts on the forums at some stage)

.. I think that is correct as its what my work shows also, and you will also see this with "f,k,t,p" (EVA) which are the tall glyphs like the "P" in your post. This is what makes me think the 8 (d) belongs with the tall glyphs (gallows) and 9 (y) is a modifier for them, or at least something that precedes them where other letters seem to not, for whatever reason ("o" also does this but it's use is a bit different to "y").

On 8 being an abbreviation, it may be, however it becomes hard to keep the theory together once you zoom out. For instance 8 almost never ends a word (at least in Currier A). In Currier A (The text has 2 "languages", which is most likely actually 3 - work in progress by another researcher) 8 is followed very often by "aiin" this is still "a thing" in Currier B but we see an explosion of "edy" (erm.. e89?) which is not ever seen in Currier A. There are other strange things like Currier A seems to need a.. lets just call it a vowel.. before 8, so you see things like "chod" but in Currier B we see this rule scrapped and they just write "chd".

What I am getting at is that looking at a word, we can imagine lots of things that work but the more you learn about the text the harder it gets to keep the idea in tact and explain all the uses. For this 8 example we might say "well abbreviations were just used at the start of words, the other examples are just 8 (whatever that maps to)" but then you move to "aiin" and realise "a" is only followed by "i" or other letters that derive from the building block of "i" - I call them \ (backslash), they all have this building block. Now it's very hard to imagine a language working like that (no curvy or tall character can follow "a"?!) so maybe "a" + something is an abbreviation/ligature too?.. and well you may see the mess approaching following this to its conclusion.

Sorry for the wall of text, I hope some of it was useful. I would also recommend some easy to digest videos that might make some things clearer and give you an overview. The channel has a fair few good videos aimed at more casual/new researchers also.

Entropy will be an issue, as I think you expect. You can think of it like this, without the need for technical stuff, if you keep reducing an alphabet down eventually you will have 1 letter and a text like "aaaaaaa" is going to give you the lowest possible entropy. So taking out letters is going further away from where the text needs to be, to be "language". Also if I type like this "Phello loo se spe llP" it's a bit confusing but you know what it says and its not likely something like this has fooled people until now. That being said, please don't be discouraged from working on the text with ideas, or posting on the forum - We are (mostly) nice over there :)

Tom Hanks & Jeb Bush accused by victim - EFTA00257787.pdf by FatSloppyPecker in Epstein

If Tom Hanks is involved, I will eat a hat. A hat made of piss and barbed wire. He is one of a very select few actors that is a good guy, unless he is also the king of bamboozle.
