Salpa fusiformis

From (Spanish) Las salpas, las extrañas criaturas que llenan las playas de Málaga

estos invertebrados no tienen nada que ver con las medusas, por lo que no son urticantes, (...)

"Son el paso intermedio entre los invertebrados y los vertebrados, puesto que tienen una primitiva columna, y forman parte del plancton, la sopa marina que es la base de la cadena alimenticia en el mar", ha manifestado.


These invertebrates have nothing to do with jellyfish, so they are not stinging, (…)

“They are the intermediate step between invertebrates and vertebrates, since they have a primitive column, and they are part of plankton, the marine soup that is the base of the food chain in the sea,” he said.

By the way, both links in your post lead to two different Spanish editions, mine is the one from the second link.

Thanks... I must have had a brain fart. I don't know why I though it was a German edition, probably the font (facepalm).

Fixed!

Awesome! Thank you very much for the heads up.

It seems to be working perfectly, even with videos. This is great!

There was a very similar comment in the reddit post, to which I replied:

I also noticed that. I think it's so the audience have something to know what's happening. It could have been hidden from the volunteer. The only reason I can imagine for not doing so is that not seeing what he is writing might be less comfortable (especially if she were the only one in the room that cannot see it) and making it easy for "the subject" seems to be an important point.

I think is this one:

daniel everett is the guy who worked on pirahã. he has all sorts of fantastical claims about the language but chief among it is the idea that the language doesn't include recursion because the speakers avoid relative clauses (not what recursion means in this context but ok). the papers are basically unfalsifiable because the pirahã people distrust outsiders, rightly so, and he steers very close to outright calling the people primitive savages, which is very uncomfortable. if you call him out on his shit he just calls you a chomsky shill. super toxic guy.

I find it funny that it's from the same user that wrote this comment in another meme I posted about it:

everett's papers are incoherent and contradictory

yes we should be skeptical of any theory. but finding proof that one part of a theory might be wrong does not make the entire theory wrong (also evidence keeps emerging that everett had an incomplete understanding of pirahã as for example didn't someone prove that recursion is actually possible in pirahã, just marked by prosody rather than syntax?). and then framing it as "fuck chomsky" rather than "fuck universal grammar" is disingenuous at the very least.

i dunno i could say more but i won't. i will say though: the way that everett frames this discussion as being either with him or with chomsky is frankly delusional

Source: "Monolingual Fieldwork" Demonstration - Daniel Everett (YouTube)

Summary from UWElingo blog post:

In this video, Dan Everett is doing a ‘monolingual fieldwork presentation’, something quite impressive: he works with a speaker of a language that he doesn’t know (and which was chosen in secret by others, so he couldn’t prepare for this). Dan is showing that without having a language in common, it is still possible to do Linguistic Fieldwork. In this case, Dan is speaking Pirahã, to ensure that the lady he is working with won’t get any additional clues through his language use.

This is a great example of how you can do monolingual fieldwork – in particular how to start monolingual fieldwork.

After the presentation, there are numerous questions from the audience (again: really helpful in showing how this works). Also, it is revealed that the language is [REDACTED]!

Source (Full video): Can I ride a Bike with an Omni-Wheel? - (James Bruton, YouTube)

1 minute edit: https://i.imgur.com/ywsDJ2f.mp4

From the video description:

Last time I built a giant omni-wheel. An omni-wheel can move in multiple directions because it has lots of smaller wheels around its circumference, so it can roll like a normal wheel, or slide sideways.
Normally you’d use at least three omni-wheels on a vehicle so that you can move or rotate in any direction. But in this video I’m going to put my giant omni-wheel on the front of a bicycle, and with some clever electronics I’m going to control the wheel so I can ride it.
I’m using the back end of the bike from the Makers Secret Santa Christmas video which Colin Furze left on my driveway. I’ll need to modify the bike so I checked it wasn’t Colin’s bike from his childhood or anything and he said it sounds cool.
As I mentioned last time, the wheel is going to be mounted the wrong way around on the front of the bike so the two wheels make a T-shape. So first of all I need to make some modifications to the front forks of the bike.
