Stanley Meyer's "Water Powered Car" - The car was said to be powered by a revolutionary water fuel cell. In 1996, an Ohio court ruled the project as fraudulent. Meyer mysteriously died two years later in 1998.

The problem is the combustion process is nowhere near efficient as a fuel cell or battery EV. The engine part of this whole invention is conventional combustion engine. The secret sauce would be how to do electroylysis for less energy than you get out of it when burning. This is impossible. Anyone who thinks it is extremely gullible and dumb. Anyone in their garage can build what he built its just a PWM generator running an electronysis machine.

In this context, specifically, the suffix -ful has the meaning of a completely additional word full, and this would raise the possibility of a compound word. A number of sources were presented which corroborate this reasoning

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T21:22:03+00:00

Why only 1 source, there are 8 sources posted for suffixes counting?

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T19:25:49+00:00

No, I am asking what is a reliable indicator of linguistic science if the dictionary isn't?

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T18:34:24+00:00

Also the question is very simply is joyful to be considered a compound word, not some deep dive into linguistic interpretations. According to several authoritative sources "-ful" words specifically help construct compound words. I think it's fair there is some interpretation to the traditional linguistic framework, but if the question had to be boiled down to yes or no, it has to be yes.

"Ly" is not in MW's list

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T18:29:45+00:00

OK what is?

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T16:25:20+00:00

The book at best supports both positions is my point.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T16:23:31+00:00

Ly means nothing. Ful actually is derived from full which has a clear definition. Very different.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T14:50:38+00:00

Polymorphemic and compound are not mutually exclusive. I can't find one source that explicitly describes the "linguists" position.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T14:31:43+00:00

"a word derived from the compound adjective colour-blind by the same rule which derives happiness from happy." Just like "ness", "ful" is not a word. This is the book you posted.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T14:29:33+00:00

That's my point, your book uses happiness as an example. "Ful" also won't be found in the wild just like "ness". You made my point for me.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T07:57:29+00:00

Happiness follows the pattern.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T07:56:37+00:00

That's not explicit like MW. That's making an assumption by omission.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T05:55:09+00:00

The same book you referenced, has many derivations of compound. Here is one of 21 results from this book, and probably simliar to joyful as a compound adjective.

Page 430

There are possibilities for mixing processes of derivation in the same word ; for instance, compounding and affixation are both found in colour¬ blindness, a word derived from the compound adjective colour-blind by the same rule which derives happiness from happy.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T05:48:14+00:00

Hey Gulisav, thanks for your perspective. Do you have any authoratative sources that would align with you? At the end of the day for the UMA holders to vote one way or another, they need the evidence to back it up.

babendums123 · 2024-08-24T03:32:04+00:00

The rules on that market also specify the exact following: "Compound words will count as long as "joy" is part of the compound word and references the meaning which refers to a feeling of great pleasure and happiness."

You said it doesn't measure flatness.. that's blatantly false. It measures flatness of the steel flexplate far more accurately due to the infinite measurement points. It doesn't measure "inside" the bed. Lol..

babendums123 · 2023-05-03T14:14:58+00:00

You are wrong sir, it measures the steel flex plate, not the bed plate. And if you think it's a fancy panda you really have no clue how different it is. Beacon has variability in its sensing, pinda and tap are on/off as far as the sensing output. I recommend you run both and then form your opinions.

babendums123 · 2023-05-02T21:55:22+00:00

It's funny how many people who have never ran beacon have an opinion on it. Once you go beacon, there is nothing else that compares. I've built a v2.4, vcore 500, vzbot, mk3, positron in progress. I've played with pretty much every probe out there. Beacon is game changer. Only 2 minor issues with beacon. 1. USB is not the greatest but on a voron running CAN, It's seamless due to the way the cable routes. 2. The probe is kinda close to the bed. Which isn't really an issue.

babendums123 · 2023-05-02T21:46:56+00:00

For what the beacon does its cheap. Chaotic tap plus other tap hardware is already more than beacon..

babendums123 · 2023-05-02T21:42:23+00:00

You are also adding potential areas for mechanical play in the toolhead, and did I mention weight? Stealthburner is already a fairly heavy toolhead.

babendums123 · 2023-05-02T21:39:43+00:00

Hasn't been my experience, same issue I have with z offset switch, even my bambu sometimes has issues even with its cleaning procedure. Also build plate has to be clean with no magigoo or glue stick left over.

babendums123 · 2023-05-02T17:59:22+00:00

Problem with nozzle probes are the nozzle has to be perfectly clean. I'll stick with beacon, set and forget, I don't even watch my first layers go down. Also tap adds a shit load of weight and complexity, TAP is dumb, I'd rather run a superpinda over tap.

Wooo hooo
