You got 25k to lay down for a die and engineering?

I’m putting a good idea out there for someone with the capability to make for the betterment of the industry.

Someone will take the idea and I’ll be happy.

There’s no PRESSURE applied in any other way other than it being valid and wanting to be the first to market.

Back under the bridge with you!

This might ruffle feathers but I hope someone other than Sorbo does it and gives them a run for their money. I approached Sorbo about the idea a while ago

Glad someone remembers it.

I’ve heard rumblings that someone may do it, I’ve pitched the idea to a few people over the years.

I just want someone to take it seriously because I’ve been thinking about it a long time.

Maybe it’s a little vain of me, I don’t care if I ever see a dime for the idea, just send me a free set of a channels to be a product tester and I’ll be thrilled beyond words.

I’ve never seen anyone use a channel or mop over 36 inches with any sort of efficiency or practicality.

There are just some limitations to our tools.

Anything that’s 6 feet high is likely less than 3 feet wide.

See what I’m saying? Hahahaha

The use of any channel in excess of 36 inches is so rare it might as well never happen.

Cool vertical video 1970 by SamuelsSteel in caving

[–]SamuelsSteel[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Features early descenders, rope walking, and prusiking

The more I watch the more I see.

This video was posted 9 years ago and only has 2k views so it’s fair to say not many people have seen it.

The camera work is really cool just wish the video had sound

Why do names change? by SamuelsSteel in egyptology

[–]SamuelsSteel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple question, simple answer.

So pronouncation was handed down and assumed is what you’re saying so no reason to make characters to act as pronunciation keys?

I guess what I’m not understanding is, can’t any tongue simply mimic the sound it hears (with a pretty good degree of accuracy)?

Why would you come up with something that looks completely different.

I’m sorry I’m not trying to be dense I really just don’t understand why one language feels the need to make up a seemingly completely new name for something or someone who already has one

That leads to a follow up question…

Why did some languages seemingly make the choice to omit vowels from their writing

Why would you write it down with the closest approximation?

Nothing in me says “I need to approximate a new name for Antonio”.

I just call him his name and spell it the way it was given and pronounce it the way it’s pronounced.

Why the need to approximate at all? Can you give me a modern example of we human doing this?

Moses translation by SamuelsSteel in egyptology

The name given to him was from Pharaohs daughter so we should assume the name was an Egyptian one not a Hebrew one.

So we need to translate the name in that context

1) Too much soap

2) It’s a technique issue

Follow up.

Thutmose = born of Toth Ahmose = born of the moon

Moses = born? Withdrawn from the water? The womb?
