the harmonica is way kewltommyaweosme wrote: May 25th, 2025, 9:22 pm tommyaweosme’s harmonica guide
so you want to learn the harmonica? great!
there are 10 notes, and “blowing” into a note makes a different noise then “drawing” air from a note.
lets try our first song, mary had a little lamb!
5B 4D 4B 4D 5B 5B 5B 4D 4D 4D 5B 6B 6B
isnt that so cool?
it would be even cooler if you try it again but keep your lips in the duck face so that it is staying in one note, then you move the harmonica to play a new note.
i dont know much else but do random notes blowing or drawing and keep doing what sounds nice trust me youll get farther than you think.

what classifies CA as a niche in a niche?
I guess CA can be considered a niche in automata theory?tommyaweosme wrote: July 8th, 2025, 8:27 pm what classifies CA as a niche in a niche?
♡ it seems like it's its own niche
♡ an example of a niche in a niche would be, say, an esolanger interested in specifically befunge derivatives.
♡ i dont really know what's going on here to make CA seem like a niche in a niche
it would be nice if someone could explain this to me. thanks!
What is the CA periodic table?
Ahh well, table is periodic if you stabilise it.
