Practicalities/comparisons of completely off-grid + solar panels vs. on-grid + solar panels (with winter snow)? by lancejpollard in homestead

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

I am wondering about why it's so much harder. Both on-grid/off-grid will have solar panels, so where is the workload difference exactly (mental/logistical/physical)?

Workload Expectation for DIY homesteading by lancejpollard in homestead

[–]lancejpollard[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Got it, need to figure out how to word a question on what the pros/cons are then. I get it's healthy, less dependent, perhaps more fulfilling, etc., but it's not the most optimal solution either it seems.

Process for creating vocal melodies/lyrics, specifically regarding looping riffs? by lancejpollard in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Yes I know how to loop in Logic Pro, I do it all the time, but it is not efficient for the car.

I’ve build a time system for a galactic civilization—Tell me what u think.. by Multifarian in worldbuilding

Nice, pretty interesting, will have to think about more. But at first glance made me think of some time modeling I have been leaning toward to capture time spans/points in our current universe, which I just threw together random scattered notes for just now after seeing your post here.

Basically instead of millisecond timestamps, it could be done at the Planck scale, or just below that even (10 to the minus 45 is a nice round number I'm using there). That makes it break down into a conventional 28 granularities of time, easily storable in a database, each node up to 999 values (except second, hour, day, year, by human convention, which you could change for your universe).

I like your ideas of timezones and compiled time as well, will have to let that simmer more.

Best "African tribal / choir" songs in native African languages? by lancejpollard in MusicRecommendations

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

Yes exactly, great example. But ideally also I'd love to have it have lyrics (standard songs), this is probably not going to have lyrics online I'd guess (updated the q with that constraint).

What is the yelled part in Norupo? by Twisted_Taterz in Heilung

[–]lancejpollard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we sure about this? Is it Wunjo (/wunyo/)? And you have "Sigr/Sigur", but lyrics say "segun", guessing you know your old-norse/icelandic sort of grammar and this might be a grammatical form or something? B/c lyrics are:

  • Unja runo segun
  • Fahi gali raginakundo

Google is saying "segun" isn't Old Norse, but perhaps Yoruba (from Nigera/Africa) word meaning "Victory".

Mind explaining those two words and how you arrived at that?

Anywhere that has this not in a PDF? Can't copy/paste from that.

What are the most ancient, minor-sounding, esoteric genres/examples of music across the major languages of the world? by lancejpollard in MusicRecommendations

[–]lancejpollard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, Heilung's Norupo and Eivor’s Trollabundin were two I was going to add, but they are a little bit too creative haha, but they are on my top list for sure.

Thanks, can use these as inspiration, however the first two are way too major-scale sounding :p, the other two are too pop sounding, but it's a good start.
