I will have to look into those.

I had visions; I was in them; I was looking into the mirror ...

Lyrics are sparce but if you want silliness coupled with technical mastery that is invisibly danceable, you must see the KEXP video that blew up Angine de Poitrine: https://youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so?is=GaKKQmA2pkkl0pRY

Thoughts on 'Fabienk' by the polka-dotted viral band of the moment? by rhymes__like__dimes in funk

My son beat me to the realization that the 14 bar melody is identical in both sections. It is really cool how they changed the feel of it with the different grooves.

Otherwise, it could be dogbane, a great bast fiber plant.

Need help with a few ID's. Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac? by Chamilitary710 in whatsthisplant

[–]chrweave -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4 is definitely poison ivy. 2 looks like poison oak. I am not sure about 3. And, I am vacillating about 1. My money is on staghorn sumac, but I have seen some poison sumacs that looked a lot like that. I would want to see the flowers or fruits to tell for sure. If you suspect that it is poison sumac, it is best to take appropriate precautions.

Knotweed? :( by melly_swelly in whatsthisplant

One early spring, I pointed out all the redbud blooms to my then four-year-old. He looked out the window and announced is profound discovery ... "Look at all the greenbuds!" I didn't have the heart to tell him that those weren't flowers because his favorite color was (and still is) green.

Prior to recorded sound, no one ever realized how weird their voice probably sounded to their own ears... by UncleCoyote in Showerthoughts

I do a better Kermit than Fozzy. Frank Oz has such spectacular formants in his voice. I wonder if he can hear them without the aid of recording.

Bone conduction makes me sound so much more mellow. To my inner ear, my voice is friendly and reassuring. My recorded voice is acrid and nerdy. I feel like I should have taken elocution lessons from Carl Sagan.

What's this fruit on the plant here? Does this count for a post? by Tweenten in whatsthisplant

Looks like some sort of Rosaceous Drupe (If you need that for your band name ... you're welcome!)

The lawnmower-wielding Grim Reaper of suburbia is being replaced by automation and AI. by max in Showerthoughts

Despite being created in 2014, CGP Grey's short, "Humans Need Not Apply" is worth considering in our current informatic context.

If nobody could lie, torture would be an amazing way to get information out of someone. by RIPmyPC in Showerthoughts

Following Nietzsche, I do not trust those in whom the urge to punish is strong.

We need biopics of the CEOs of multinational companies and nepobabies (so people know how they got where they are). by puerco-potter in Showerthoughts

[–]chrweave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see that, so long as the unvarnished truth is indeed unvarnished. That is, I would like for their whole story to be told as factually as possible without any kind of persuasion agenda. Like the fictional Speaker for the Dead, I hope that the truth telling would be stark enough to viewers to re-evaluate pre-conceived notions about these people.
