    Feel free to ignore me but:

    Alfred “Alfie” Joseph

    Bengiman “Bengie” Oliver

    Maya Oliver

    Persephone “Percy” Elm

    • in greek mythology Persephone was taken by hades (in an unwanted arranged marriage of sorts arranged by her father zues) to control the underworld with him, becoming the queen of the underworld. her mother sad to lose her causes winter and apon Persephones return to her mum every year, summer returns.

    Also

    “The myth of a goddess being abducted and taken to the underworld is probably Pre-Greek in origin. Samuel Noah Kramer, the renowned scholar of ancient Sumer, has posited that the Greek story of the abduction of Persephone may be derived from an ancient Sumerian story in which Ereshkigal, the ancient Sumerian goddess of the underworld, is abducted by Kur, the primeval dragon of Sumerian mythology, and forced to become ruler of the underworld against her own will.” Wikipedia

    I also like the name lucida

    These are just random names that popped into my head just before sleeping so feel free to ignore or pluck what you like (also I spent way longer thinking about the first names then the last names so I’m not set on my last names)




  • Thanks, I’m trying out NewPipe right now but haven’t quit got the hang of it, though Im not giving up yet, I just don’t feel I can rank it yet.

    Also i agree those Fossify apps are great that’s why I included the Fossify suite in A tier. I realise now that maybe they arent all A tier so Here’s my ranking of Fossify apps that fits in with the prior ranking:

    Low S tier: Contacts, phone, SMS messenger

    A tier: Gallary, file manager, Calendar, Clock, calculator

    B tier: paint, voice recorder, keyboard, camera, launcher

    Haven’t used enough to rank: notes - no sync and no markdown :( Music player - just haven’t used it much

    Unfortunately the alpha roll-out had a major unpached bug causing a complete internal breakdown of the ethics and intelligence processing units in all those updated.

    Some hypothesis that as alpha men now have the processing capacity of an ant, they may soon evolve a hive-mind. As this would allow all mental processing to be outsourced to a singular fat orange queen.

    Edit: spelling

    Our young Tui are practicing right now, its so fun watching them barely be able to sing, sounding like a donkey while trying there best to imitate the melodic adults.

    Then they slowly grow up and learn new things until eventully they can perfectly imitate our car reversing beep, fooling us to think someone is stealing our car.

    Algae itself needs a functioning ecosystem to survive, to much algea will cause it to kill itself due to overpopulation (e.g. using up resources and dead algea not being cleaned up) while in a small scale humans can care for the algea, taking the place of the ecosystem, for any large area this would be unfeasible and the ecosystem including the algea would collapse.

    A benifit of biodiversity is greater resilance to change, by selecting for the growth of specific algea using iron you cause other algea/plant that rely on the prior ecosys to die out (including those reliant on other organisms which died). this group of less diverse algea will be more susceptible to change, (diseases or environmental change) and as most of the algea in the world will be similar, most of the algea in the world could get wiped out in one go.

    So the likely outcome would be an initial spike in carbon capture before the environment becomes unsuitable, collapses, and most of the algea dies.

    So all im all at any meaningful scale in the sea this is and will always be, a terrible idea.

    (A better idea would be lots of small manigable algea tanks which could realistically be maintained and won’t affect the current diversity, diseases could also not spread between them. This would be expensive but could actually work as a long term solution)

    It all runs on good ol’ clean green energy, and with the new turbines installed we’re really seeing a rembursed energy of our exhausted ADP residents. They had been beginning to complain saying “I might just move to the mitochea with the wages us ADP get there”. But I just said to those crazy fools “ya fools dont wanna go down that dark, dark road. want to know where the mitochondria get all their energy from? They steal it, steal it from right under our bloody noses, steal the suger we put our blood sweat and tears into”. Most stay, but sometimes I feel a few sneak away in the night.

    But you wanna know a secret, I’ve heard rumors… rumors that in the mitochondria ADP once plump with riches will be taken against their will, kidnapped straight from their fancy mansions.

    The few that come back stuggle to recover, but many are never to be seen again.
