    Design a notification system for this shed. The notification must be initiated from the back door of the house. Most elaborate contraption wins. Your time starts now.

      Cheating but, texting via satellites. Humans have not constructed any contraption so elaborate as the internet and ethernet + satellites. So far.
      Is there a prize for being the most boring but the most right?

    @chriswyatt9869 27 дней назад +1

    I agree with her, he said his garden is on a slight incline. I take that as looking at it on floor level from the house, it inclines, as in goes up. Like you wouldn’t automatically assume that’s from the bottom of the gardens perspective. Like if were to say my garden declines, I think most would assume that it’s a somewhat hill and the house sits at the top of it.

    • @sapinta
      @sapinta День назад

      incline is synonimous with slope, it can go up or down. To decline means to refuse or to decrease; your garden doesn't declines (unless you mean in a figurative way, as in deteriorates), your garden's *altitude* does though, so maybe you can say that your garden declines in altitude.

      When I was in high school, my history teacher, instead of giving us a written final class exam since we had all done a bunch of college entrance exams/etc, had us each build a Rube Goldberg device as a final project. The only two rules/stipulations were that it had to consist of at least three different "elements"/moving parts, and that it had to perform a mundane task. I used a tube with a marble that rolled and offset a scale with a lit candle, which burned and severed nylon string that was holding open a rat trap with a kitchen knife attached that ultimately cut a sandwich in half.
