You might get auto-tremolo playing a theremin.

(Oddly, I web searched 'tremelo' being unsure if I spelled tremolo right, and it turns out Tremelo is a device for reducing essential tremor.)

A basis for morality just naturally follows from the nature of being a living organism.

Tonic water has quinine. Seltzer doesn't.

From what I've read, masking is common in both ADHD and the autism spectrum. I don't know if what you describe falls under that or not, but it bears some resemblance to what I experience and have come to believe is in my case a form of masking.

Tell the audience you're just really serious about tremolo.

Could it be a masking thing? I am reflexively secretive about the oddest most innocuous things. I think this is an ADHD masking thing, a way of preempting the possibility that something I do will be seen as weird. I'm not aware of experiencing it as embarrasment, but I could imagine it manifesting that way.

Big money can buy a lot of sources, even most on topic, and distorts what gets researched. So you still have to look at where the money is coming from.

Should probably create another youtube video.

I don't know about 'better', but I prefer it for being less fumey, I feel better about occasionally getting some on my skin, and prefer not using petroleum derivatives. I know there's low fume mineral spirits and I've used that for paint cleanup, but i'm not confident it behaves the same for finishes.

I buy the orange stuff by the gallon because I can use it for bike chain degreasing, and woodworking ( as a solvent for oil finishes, etc.), etc.

One common, readily available, relatively unharmful type is citrus decreasers like Citrisolv or similar.

Good touch or bad touch?

I hear 'weary' used in place of 'wary', I don't think I've come across the reverse. Drives me crazy though.

Unless you bake some incriminating evidence into it.

Thank you! I've always heard the former and never felt it quite made sense. Now I understand why.

I have a really hard time believing the two metals differ enough in how much they contract in cold temperatures to make the balls pop out.

I like how you roll.

ARCnet forever!

I know nothing about Norway but in the US in the early to mid 20th century, electric clocks used the 60 hz frequency of the electrical grid to keep accurate time. They even used to keep that frequency carefully calibrated for that purpose.

But a typical clock outlet is a touch lower then the one here and would never stick out like that. Often they were even set in a bit because you'd typically put the (big, round, analog) clock over the outlet to hide it.

TIL a new word. I'm just curious, do people commonly refer to it as 'the bosque' around there the same way we might say 'the woods'?
