  • The amount of obvious karma farming getting 1500+ comments of "engagement" is insane. Just take a brief look on r/all and you'll see about 20% bait. r/AITA, r/AmIOverreacting, r/PeterExplainsTheJoke, etc all of these likely-styled subreddits are just obvious bots. I don't even get the point of karma farming.

  • Not coincidental, they both stem from the directional description "right".

    In Old English riht meant both straight and not left. That's why "go right ahead" and "go straight ahead" are synonymous even tho that sense has been largely lost.

    "Right" then got the sense of proper/correct, likely because right-handedness is more common and thus the right hand was associated with being the "correct" hand. This is why you are "dextrous", from Latin dexter meaning directionally right.

    The political "right" as in conservative also comes from the direction right because in the French National Assembly after the 1789 revolution, the conservatives sat on the right while the progressives were seated on the left.

  • Just kidding, I use home assistant and my oral-b toothbrush broadcasts using BLE, which Is capture using the oral-b integration. You don’t need to be logged in.

    Oh god I hope this is sarcasm. I'm good with my old, dumb oral-b that does nothing but brush my fucking teeth.

  • This has the funny consequence that moving by a fifth and then by a fourth doesn’t land you on the ninth, but the octave (8). Moving by an octave and then another octave gets you to the 15th, not the 16th.

    This is worded confusingly. The reason for this is simply because you include the base note when you start counting, so if you stop midway and stack another interval on top, you have to account for that stop because it decreases the total travel distance by one.

    This is done to actually increase consistency. If you start at c1 and move up an octave and then move up another octave, you stop at c3 which is logical. So you either move 2 octaves or one 15th because 2*8-1 = 15.
