My phone screen keeps randomly moving the text cursor to a spot towards the top left. Sometimes I don't even notice.

Hmmm... issue with the touch sensor?

I don't know. I think there's an irregularity in the way the screen guard was applied.

Did you just apply the screen protector?

I'm surprised phpBB doesn't have a function for this. With 10 minutes or so I got this list of 34 members who have posted in the last week:

alice, Ares Land, Arzena, bradrn, DorotheaBrooke, Emily, hwhatting, Imralu, jal, jcb, Karch, Ketsuban, Lērisama, lëtzeshark, lyyx, malloc, Man in Space, naz, nɐ.ˈɾɛn.dɚ.ˌduːd, Nortaneous, ophois, quinterbeck, Qwynegold, Raphael, Richard W, rotting bones, Starbeam, Talskubilos, Torco, Travis B., Weeping Elf, xxx, zompist, þeprussianfrog

Some of these members have a very small number of posts.

It has been applied since the beginning. This problem has always existed, but it appears inconsistently. It could be a sensor problem like you said or a software bug.

I don't expect a Nort answer on just any topic.

well, it comes down to what your defenition of what "a very small number" is, and I also think that's relatively irrelevant. for example, my 308 posts is quite small compared to your 2,872, but that doesn't make 308 a small number, and I also used to be much more active here than I am now.<sup>1

1</sup> much to my own avail; now that school's out I should be able to be more active.

2’459 posts here for me (this makes 2’460), averaging 0.86 ppd fwiw. Posts per day might be a metric to consider along with tenure.

I was thinking of members who contribute to the ZBB being an active forum. There are a number of variables in this consideration. If members who post at all posted at the same rate as you, I would only expect any topic I post here to get a response if the ZBB had at least 3 times the number of members. On a larger forum, you would be an active member under my definition.

Waking up late was associated with the aristocracy as well. In fact, Western philosophy traditionally sees work as suffering and low class. This is why I call anyone inspired by mortal craftsmanship a cultural Marxist.

[lëtzeshark]

You forgot lëtzeshark.

Indeed, I'm still physically around, but with a lot less time and energy for conlanging and conworlding and for making things to share, and I don't like posting a lot without things to show or contribute (or feeling like I'm "spam-posting").

[linguistcat]

I used to be more active but I'm surprised I didn't post at all this week. But then again I am time blind and time is a weird soup.

[Starbeam]

This is not the first time you have misinterpreted something i have said, and argued the against something i already would oppose. Please stop skimming paragraphs. Like, it's the same situation with Baltimore and DC, despite them being even closer and some overlap occurring in the suburbs.

I didn't claim you said otherwise, rather I was emphasizing what you were saying from the standpoint of someone from Milwaukee.

Alright, that's fair, my apologies

Note: When I say the laws of nature are "mathematical", I mean something other than human mathematical language. I only mean they are regular and proportion-preserving. The math that humans ooh and aah over emerges from low level dynamics that doesn't resemble it very much. Here's an example: https://youtu.be/E9VuoJkpgjw
