A carefully planned and executed action could be good (I don't know France well enough to comment for sure there) but doing it right would likely take years.

What's happening in the US is tragic and haphazard (and likely illegal, but fat lot of good that designation does these days).

Human urine was collected and used for many things (mostly the ammonia). Human feces was used as fertilizer in a lot of the world until very recent times and collected in certain areas.

Technologically, it does feel like that sometimes, but it would seem not.

In my case, I'd probably be OK having studied French and German (and reading things by Chaucer and Gauer). Though French != Norman French, so that may cause some issues.

Heh, that's specifically why I qualified it as 'position on earth'.

If I snapped you back in time 650 years

2025 - 650 =1375

Its the 12th century

1375 is the 14th century. Which do you mean?

Answering the actual question, nothing good would come of it if my location on earth didn't change. Being the only white person in rural northern Japan well before Europeans came in the 1500s would probably not be a good situation for me. The language, at least the written one, was very different. Being the Nanboku-chō era, things would probably be not great since it was in the midst of 60ish years of war with two different people claiming to be in charge. I can't find, at least before my coffee kicks in, exactly what kinda state Mutsu Province, as it was then called, was in at the time.

I would argue it depends upon the buzzing device, but bzzz for all of them is indeed arbitrary. Even IPA doesn't represent sounds that humans can't produce, so it wouldn't suffice, but them's the breaks.

Not all British accents are non-rhotic to begin with. Exposure to the sound and ability to reproduce it, even if not a lot in speech, means that the onomatopoeia, if used, should be the same.

In languages where a sound doesn't exist, it gets more interesting. In Japanese, bzzz is not pronounceable and for a buzzer (or something like a phone in vibrate mode) they will say ブー (buu) which is just the syllable bu with a long u sound (think of a crowd booing, but the o vowel there is different to the Japanese u vowel).

because my wacky brain can't seen to retain anything that can't be copy/paste into a text doc.

That is not what I said. Vibe coding and using AIs tends to have security issues and not produce the best code.

If you want a professional developer to work on it, you need to put your sales hat on and sell them on the idea (or come up with enough cash to pay outright for someone to do it). It sounds like, based on your response to another poster, you do have a lot of the mechanics, UI/UX design, etc. so you should have a good point from which to pitch.

I would instantly distrust and never go near your app. I am a software engineer with more than two decades of IT experience.

Do we have reactors that would work properly (or, my bigger worry, whose safety systems will work properly) in such a low-grav environment? I assume they don't mean the type that use heat from decay like old probes

To the current constitution-violating republican administration, none of this matters and the cruelty is part of it. That said, let's play a game:

• what is the country of someone who grew up in the US, possibly speaking only English?
• what happens if the country is inaccessible for some reason (countries occasionally collapse or close borders)
• what happens if the borders of the country change and the person's hometown (or all their family) is now in country X instead of their country of birth Y

There are probably more weird edge cases that would need to be in any law as well.
