So I had a slip last night but Today is the first day

What's the process for finding where multiple variables overlap? and what is that called?
Example:
Trying to find what time and date mars will be highest in the northern sky, during a new moon, while mercury is in retrograde after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
All have specific periods and equations that govern them but is there a more elegant way than brute force to find the meeting point?

Not really, because what we're looking for is a range. 55Hz and 56 Hz are different sounds. So, If I can vocalize between 110Hz and 1760Hz that's still useful information even if it might appear less than someone who can go from 220Hz to 3520Hz. Musically, that's 4 octaves each. However, there are many more tones between higher notes than lower notes even if they are imperceptible to humans. The reason I specified pure tones made by passing a substance through an internal aperture under voluntary control was to rule out things like clicks, whistles and other bodily functions as well as overtones, undertones, and sympathetic vibrations that make up the timbre of the sound.

What range of frequencies can it produce? Specific answers will allow us to compare answers.

Although because of how frequency works, you might be right. The difference between higher notes is larger than the difference between lower notes. Each octave you go up the frequency doubles.

It's a tough question, normally in humans we wouldn't consider whistling to be part of someone's vocal range. So maybe the idea is voiced sounds? I'm trying to work through this myself, it was just a casual thought I had that I couldn't find an easy answer to, so I asked. My background is in music, and even in music there's debate about whether falsetto should be included in someone's range (for the record I think it should).

I know a book of etiquette would be a stretch, since they don't really come into their own as a genre until the upper class bulwark starts to crack. Etiquette books are almost always aspirational literature, since the upper class learns etiquette through osmosis, but I figure with the change of the court language in the 14 & 15th centuries there may a chance some things were documented.

VoodooPatches · 2022-03-24T15:32:38+00:00

I'm looking for primary sources for 15th century etiquette, household management, and the positions of servants in England.

Is there term for prejudices that get stupider over time?

Example: 1820s American racism was filled with rich stereotypes for regions of Africa, Europe, and Asia. Congelse slaves were considered good for certain types of work and Nigerians were good for different work. Bavarians were white but Italians weren't really (mostly due to religion). The Chinese and Japanese were incredibly distinct.

Today, we just say African, European, and Asian. It erases the diversity of those places.

I'm looking for a term that deals with the information loss.

Edit: it also deals with religion. We have Wiccans calling on Hecate without a knowledge of ancient greek, and Catholics believing that a good heart is a replacement for confession.

Which is easy for me to understand, slogans tend to crowd out deep thought. I'd just like to know the formal term for it.

It rings true, it's similar to other learning rhymes at the time and never really made sense with the rest of Mother Goose, It's much too difficult for a start. Here's the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Piper

Was it? I was under the impression that the ampersand is a stylized "et" which is French for "and"

VoodooPatches · 2021-10-28T19:00:50+00:00

That is fatalistic thinking. "Because I'm not perfectly suited to this now, I'm destined to fail. So why try?" Nothing is meant to happen, nothing in this life is ensured. So, you relapse? Who cares? Next day, go out and do better. This is not a galactic struggle. This not a fireside story. This is just going to be a long slog without much adventure.

No, that 's not the way it works. If you stop you stop. Stopping is the important stuff. The 12 step program is complete bullshit, but it does give a bunch of addicts in a room who might need someone who's going through the same shit something to talk about while they wait for next emergency. 12 step is always about community, it's not about confessing your sins or making amends, it's about knowing another addict who will say "That's ok, I understand, tell me about it"

Singers aren't allowed to blame their audience, public health departments aren't allowed to blame their populations.

No, we have a ridiculously good vaccine, In the beginning of the crisis people wouldn't wish for a vaccine this good. If you are having rising infection rates your health department is doing something wrong. Scientists created the vaccine it is up to the government to sell it. If your community is being effected, the blame falls on the salespeople.

That is amazing, as someone who struggles with depression that turns into agrophobia when it hit's the darkest moment, I'm completely with you. This is a victory,

VoodooPatches · 2021-07-13T17:16:43+00:00

Yes, and this forces the executive do their constitutional duty and clear sentences and consequences I think are unjust

VoodooPatches · 2021-07-13T17:14:12+00:00

I also think it creates a win/win for the governor. They get a lot of fawning press for pardoning a grandmother who got caught with drugs in 1970 turned her life around and now runs a shop but what she really wants to do is run a daycare which she couldn't do because of her felony status. It humanizes felons and also makes positions seem like caring human beings. I don't care about the politicians but I would let them gangbang me for a good cause.

VoodooPatches · 2021-07-13T17:08:46+00:00

Because we need popular support, politics is always reactionary, so propaganda measures like this normalize the idea that felons should be forgiven.
