    estos invertebrados no tienen nada que ver con las medusas, por lo que no son urticantes, (...)

    "Son el paso intermedio entre los invertebrados y los vertebrados, puesto que tienen una primitiva columna, y forman parte del plancton, la sopa marina que es la base de la cadena alimenticia en el mar", ha manifestado.


    These invertebrates have nothing to do with jellyfish, so they are not stinging, (…)

    “They are the intermediate step between invertebrates and vertebrates, since they have a primitive column, and they are part of plankton, the marine soup that is the base of the food chain in the sea,” he said.

  • By the way, both links in your post lead to two different Spanish editions, mine is the one from the second link.

    Thanks... I must have had a brain fart. I don't know why I though it was a German edition, probably the font (facepalm).

    Fixed!

    After bingwatching all of Brandon James Greer's videos, I draw my first character: Babalisa.
    Criticism and advice are more than welcome.

    Monolingual Fieldwork Speedrun

    Source: "Monolingual Fieldwork" Demonstration - Daniel Everett (YouTube)

    Summary from UWElingo blog post:

    In this video, Dan Everett is doing a ‘monolingual fieldwork presentation’, something quite impressive: he works with a speaker of a language that he doesn’t know (and which was chosen in secret by others, so he couldn’t prepare for this). Dan is showing that without having a language in common, it is still possible to do Linguistic Fieldwork. In this case, Dan is speaking Pirahã, to ensure that the lady he is working with won’t get any additional clues through his language use.

    This is a great example of how you can do monolingual fieldwork – in particular how to start monolingual fieldwork.

    After the presentation, there are numerous questions from the audience (again: really helpful in showing how this works). Also, it is reve

  • AFAIK that would be ok, a lot of subreddits don't even require the posts to be approved, so that would be the same as setting your sub to not require approving and posting to it with a different account.

    I was never downvoted on Reddit as hastily as I am on Lemmy.

    Note that, unlike reddit, lemmy shows negative vote values. So it may seem a bit more dramatic compared to reddit.

  • I can only assume it was an engineering challenge of some sort?

    I would say so, James Bruton has some videos of the type "let's see what happens if I try this very impractical idea".

    There’s be zero use for it as it’s presented,

    Agree. For me, the fun part is that it's not a 100% fail :D.

    Omni-Wheel Bicycle by James Bruton (video in description)

    Source (Full video): Can I ride a Bike with an Omni-Wheel? - (James Bruton, YouTube)

    1 minute edit: https://i.imgur.com/ywsDJ2f.mp4

    From the video description:

    Last time I built a giant omni-wheel. An omni-wheel can move in multiple directions because it has lots of smaller wheels around its circumference, so it can roll like a normal wheel, or slide sideways.
    Normally you’d use at least three omni-wheels on a vehicle so that you can move or rotate in any direction. But in this video I’m going to put my giant omni-wheel on the front of a bicycle, and with some clever electronics I’m going to control the wheel so I can ride it.
    I’m using the back end of the bike from the Makers Secret Santa Christmas video which Colin Furze left on my driveway. I’ll need to modify the bike so I checked it wasn’t Colin’s bike from his childhood or anything and he said it sounds cool.
    As I mentioned last time, the wheel is going to be mounted t

    Searching for "Digital Compact Cassette" portable, I found the (very cool) Sony TCD-D10 (source with more images and specifications: Hifi Speaker Wiki). It wouldn't surprise me if it was part of the mood-board for this project, or even its main inspiration.

    "To me / For me" regarding personal opinions

    Prepositions are hard, and these are the ones that confuse me the most:

    • It seems (...) [to / for] me
    • It looks like (...) [to / for] me
    • It feels (...) [to / for] me
    • It sounds like (...) [to / for] me
    • (...) makes more sense [to / for] me

    Questions:

    • Are both valid?
      • If both are valid; is there any nuance as to which to use?
      • If they aren't: is there a general rule or is it a case-by-case (as it usually is with prepositions)?

    Thanks!
