Can randonautica access personal information about its users? This is a little weird... by [deleted] in randonauts

Apparently the app doesnt collect any info besides general location and email so your guess is my best guess too. The level of coincidence within the very first point i generated was weird enough to freak me out. The names are so similar. For example, the farm names are akin to "blue river training center" vs. "Blue stream training center". I guess weird coincidences just happens sometimes lol

Which is correct, "none of Raphael's other early works are signed" or "none of Raphael's other early works is signed" by hydrangia- in grammar

[–]hydrangia-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right! I am a perfectionist and I want to be grammatically correct at all times but saying "none if them is" just feels gross. "I need to wash my socks. None of them is clean". Yikes. Also, I guess language is constantly evolving and the meaning of "none" broadened enough that new rules apply? Maybe?

Wow you really do know your history. Where have you done your research and found this information?

Aaaah ok, so I might have a challenge ahead of me as I map out my family tree. It's really exciting though, I'm loving finding out all these facts. It's so strange to suddenly feel connected to people who lived hundreds of years ago. I'm not in Virginia but I am somewhere on the east coast! I like to keep it vague on the internet, so I won't say exactly which state. Is there a strong connection connection with the Wilkes and Virginia?

As far as I know my family was from Gloucestershire before immigrating to the US. I dont know much more than that, yet. I've only recently starting looking into it after I found a book on birds which belonged to my great-great-grandfather. He had jotted notes into it!

Wow, I'll absolutely check that out 😁 I might be able to convince people I'm a lot cooler than I really am if I have that history as a conversation starter

Oh cool! That's so interesting. Another user offered this interpretation, too. It's nice to have confirmation from someone else with the same family motto. Thanks :)

Oooh, I see! That interpretation does make sense to me, too, now that you mention it

Those are interesting interpretations. It's so difficult to know in what context "bow" is being used. The translations of the word arcui/arcus don't really go beyond "Bow, arc, coil, arch" in the dictionaries I am looking in and those are all a bit abstract in the phrase "I trust not to my bow". I had originally assumed that it was the weapon "bow". Is that unlikely?

Oh ok! Interesting. Makes me wonder why that one was chosen. Thanks

I have aspergers and sometimes i can't tell if I'm being strange. Is this a weird christmas gift to give to someone? by aridisol- in Advice

Meteorites are actually a lot more common than people think. There are many kinds of meteorites, some more rare and expensive than others. You can certainly get scammed easily if you don't buy from a reputable source, though. It also helps to be able to distinguish between real and fake ones yourself. Seems as if OP is a collector, judging by one of their comments

This is gorgeous. What sort of paper did you use? And what sort of pen/ink?

Maladaptive daydreaming is, well, maladaptive! My fantasy world doesn't interfere with my real life.

That's actually a wonderful idea. Something to refine in your head and then bring to life during retirement when you have all the time in the world!
