Not even a parent, just kinda reminds me of things I should remember but always seem to forget.
I don't see any evidence that this is about rescheduling anything, let alone specifically marijuana. Only thing I can tell is the date, the person, the fact that there was a recommendation, and somebody involved knows how to cite the USC.
Most definitely.
Only in single file mode (meaning opening the HTML as a file:// URL, making changes, and saving it again). Hosting it on a server, desktop, or raspberry pi with node is ridiculously simple these days. It's completely backwards compatible, but TW5 changed the architecture quite a bit. You can drop that 10 year old file into a blank node instance, and it comes out perfectly.
Tiddlywiki. Simple in theory one you get your head around it. I live on a boat, and use it for inventory. Every item is entered, along with quantity and location so I can search and find where things are. Depending on the thing, additional information is stored as well. For food stuffs, nutrition info, brand, place I bought it, and price (useful going between countries). Recipes link to ingredients, so I can filter on what I have or what I need. For tech items, serial number, manuals, warranty information, and the like. And for certain items, checklists, or maintenance tasks, I link to the inventory item of my tools, so I know what I need and where to get it before starting a job.
For example, I have an entry for the outboard motor. I know that if I'm filling it with fuel, I need 2 stroke oil, gasoline, fuel filter. If I have to adjust the turning resistance, I know I'll need a 10mm wrench. If I have to change the lower unit oil, I need a pump for oil, container for old oil, flathead screw driver for the plug, etc.
The completely unrelated investigation.
Goddamn I remember when I thought like this. So many big ideas and entire worlds just floating around in my conciseness.
Yes, this is a starting point. Actually, it's a lot of starting points.
Go sentence by sentence. Why is it vague? Sounds to me like this is an old language. An old language, from before the current state of things. It's evolved as it needed, while still being private. Figure out why it started vague, and go from there. Figure out why it's private. You've got a lot to work with here.
Just break it down. Assume you need to back up every statement you make.
Okay. So start smaller. What's the coolest aspect of the language? Or the part that you're most proud of?
If I was approaching something from a language-first style, I'd probably try to figure out what kind of cultural and geographic features would influence the language in it's current form. Just some mind vomit without giving hardly any thought to it:
- language slow and sing songy could indicate a more leisure focused society, and that would mean either nearby natural resources, or a robust engineering that handles base needs
- Or it could be a culture that tries to embrace peace and uses song and dance to put guests at ease
- guttural or short language could be a battlng society, where info needs to be communicated efficiently
- Or it could be a culture that uses spoken language as only part of their method of communication.
Just spitballing here. Hope there's a nugget of something in there.
32 minutes. Huh.
