Thanks for the help, Sangi39 and Gach ! I guess I'll keep my year length and change the number of AU to 2.83. And Sangi, thanks for explaining how I was doing the math wrong! Now I'll know that one is supposed to plug in Earth-years, not Earth-days. I'll post the new planet data for Bodus when I've ...

So amused to hear that the man behind the FUCT brand in the current Supreme Court FUCT controversy is named Erik Brunetti. On Shaleya, there's a type of rice-shaped brown algae called brunetti in LIE.

Modal means its phonation is default, as it is for voiced consonants. But you can have nasalized modal voiced vowels and consonants because nasalization is not a type of phonation. Creaky, slack-voiced, murmured, breathy, devoiced, voiceless, and modal are all phonation types. Not nasality. It's ju...

Yes, /ħ/ before creaky, /h/ before modal. What does "modal" mean, besides being the adjective for the moods of verbs? In regards to vowels, it's the "default" voicing. In this case, "not creaky". So modal means it's not nasal, not breathy, not creaky, not any of those things . . . right?

I'm not sure what help you want here - you have the same equations and equivalent calculator to any of us. Just enter in the numbers. I was using the website https://astrographer.wordpress.com/bookshelf/earthlike-planet-geoff-eddy/ where I found the equation: M × T 2 = R 3 (Kepler’s third law) wher...

I don't identify as any ethnicity. Especially when it comes to the ones on typical lists.

Not even Filipino?

Mind you, there is rather a depth to that question that really bears consideration. And possibly doesn't fit in this kind of poll at all. I mean, The World has been in my head & heart for so long, perhaps questions of identification get a touch, ah, difficult. Mmmmm. I think I know what you mean. A...

I doubt you could do worse than this.

Well, yes.

But do you really identify yourself as a Daine? I guess that's the key question.

You could put Asian, you know. Screw with the System! I've actually pondered doing that before, since geographers say the Middle East is part of Asia. Also, the CIS, where many of my ancestors spent a few generations, straddles Eorope and Asia. Can I put an invented culture or ethnicity? You want t...

Maybe it actually is "Other"? One thing I've learned is that Reyzadren rarely identifies with pigeonholes of any kind! I've definitely noticed this myself. I sometimes put "Other" on (non-medical) forms. Or just fill in some random circle. None of their effing business anyway. I usually have to put...

5. Ethnicity you primarily identify with: Other

I hate to bother you again, but the list of ethnicities was only a list of examples and was not meant to be complete. If you identify as sometjing else, feel free to share exactly what it is!

What would the accent of a native speaker of your conlang sound like in English? For example, a native speaker of Kvíaros would say the "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." like this: [d ɦ ǝ k h ʋɪk b ɦ ra.ʊn faksǝ d͡ʑ ɦ ampǝd o:ʋǝ: d ɦ a lejsɪ d ɦ ag] Actually, it's "The quick brown fox...

What On Earth Is Happening - Episode #205 Indoctrination through the "Education" System, I've always thought it ridiculous how so many alt-righters and "Red Pill" types think American schools indoctrinate kids to be "Marxist".

Happy Inner Bruise Day!

All right. My planet, Bodus, is 2.0251 AU from its Wanos sun. A year on Bodus lasts as long as 3.6504892 years on Earth (1,333.313801631 Earth days). What would the solar mass of Wanos be?
