Topic	Cinnamon is JUST WOOD
captpackrat 04/10/21 7:07:54 PM #17	It was not too long ago that spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, cloves, even plain old pepper, were incredibly expensive and had to be brought by ship, horse, or camel, on dangerous journeys that took months or even years. Now every cook in America has a king's ransom in spices in their cupboard and nobody blinks an eye about it. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum.

captpackrat 04/10/21 6:58:30 PM #26	captpackrat posted... Jorge Luis Borges wrote an interesting short story called The Library of Babel, which is about a universe in the form of a vast library containing a nearly infinite number of books containing every possible combination of the characters of the alphabet, periods, commas, and spaces. Although the overwhelming majority of the books will be gibberish, the library will contain, somewhere, every book ever written or that ever could be written. Some of these books must contain predictions of the future, important secrets or the meaning of the universe, but there will also exist books that look legitimate but contain false or erroneous information, thus all the books are totally useless.

Speaking of pronunciation, how are you supposed to pronounce R'lyeh?

Did Dr. Seuss make that cover art?

No, it's from a series of books of Lovecraft stories written in anapestic tetrameter (which Seuss used heavily) and with Seuss-style illustrations.

It blew my mind the first time I saw Takeo Ischi yodeling. A Japanese guy doing an Alpine yodel? And doing it as well as Franzl Lang?

If you can sing falsetto, you're already halfway there. Yodeling is basically rapidly shifting back and forth between the chest register, which is your normal singing voice, and the higher-pitched head register or falsetto.

To me the hardest part is remembering the patterns. I don't think there's any sort of written notation, at least that I'm aware of.

How would you pronounce "Dagon"?

day-gone
dah-goen
something else

How do you pronounce "Dagon"? (As in the ancient Mesopotamian fish-god or the creature from Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth). I always thought it was day-gone, but Alexa pronounced it like dah-goen.

The extra sucky thing about the minimum wage being stuck at $7.25 since 2009 is that adjusted for inflation, that was the equivalent of almost $9 an hour back then, so essentially every minimum wage employee has had a pay cut of $1.75 since then.

Federal minimum wage is a livable wage in most locations.

The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 and hasn't been raised since 2009. The highest it's ever been, adjusted for inflation, was in 1968 when it was $1.60, which is equal to $12.30 in 2021 dollars, and even that amount would only get you an apartment in 13 states.
