@awilfox I'm sorry you feel so stuck right now... I hope you find a path that you can enjoy

@snackerfork that's wonderful!

@DialMforMara no, the specials are always considered to be part of their own block – so they didn't lie, they were just disappointing...

Chibnall: Series 11 of Doctor Who will have no old monsters or villains – no daleks!

me: oh cool, that means that the show can go into interesting new directions and stuff

The New Years Special: *definitely has daleks*

me: gosh darnit

@BatElite *melty cuddles*
good night, dear ♥

Yesterday, I watched Carnival of Monsters – it's fun, but it feels like it should do something more with the political plotline.

Today I'm going to watch Frontier in Space, which is the last story to feature Roger Delgado as the Master before his unfortunate death in an accident. He was intended to show up one last time in the next season, but this never came to be.

woops I spent ages working on a conlang and now it's snooze time

goodnight!

naming things is hard...

I found a long, fascinating, and (seemingly) well researched and cited answer to a question on a forum. The person who posted it is even a Professor!

But it just so happens that I know it to be completely and utterly wrong.

it's important to note: this is only according to what's in phoible's database, it's not a definitive answer (especially since defining segments is.... harder than it seems)

I downloaded the phoible database of language inventory sizes, and wrote some code to calculate the average number of segments in a language:

35.2125

I think I can actually use phoible's database for this...
