Quick question to this subthread:
IF your excercise bike converted your energy into actual electricity and feed it back into the wall socket thus reducing your bill by a miniscule amount, AND TOLD YOU how much energy you made in a session, would you be more likely to use it?
No!
But I'm very happy to watch wind turbines do it for me ...
Make an Autumn table display:

I think that making Autumn related decorations for the home is more of an American thing.
Some very acute original thinking by you there FH.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_a_tree_falls_in_a_forest_and_no_one_is_around_to_hear_it,_does_it_make_a_sound%3F
This is a brilliant answer.
And why have I not heard of dinotracker.com before! (a rhetorical question.) What a site!
"In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain." (Sound - Wikipedia)
I think if its the physics def then the awnser is 'yes'. I thought yes when I first read it and it seemed pretty obvious so I read various articles on sound to know why this is even a question... (spent an hour doing that instead of doing homework.. then another hour on dinotracker.com - anyway)
It's probably using the psychology one. But I don't like that definition..
If I changed the question to: If a deaf person is in a forest and a tree falls, did the tree make sound? - *I* would say that there is still sound (sound happens all the time even if they don't hear it). I don't think anybody claims a deaf persons world is soundless, they just don't process the sounds.
It's also nearly impossible to clear a forest of all hearing creatures.
And there are sounds that some animals hear that humans cannot. Those sounds still exist though.
I cant think of any reason why it wouldn't make sound (maybe unless the forest is somehow a vacuum).
Also, if I set up a camera in the forest before the tree fell, it would record sound (to be played later/heard later). A camera does not have any ears or brains
The psych definition should be the definition of processing sound not sound itself (imo)
[I don't know any of this for fact...just my thoughts]

Ugh?

There are other websites. I'll be on them.
I don't know, I left you in charge
I lost track - is there anyone that I need to add to the front post?
Play Chess , The Autistic Chess Club is still open to new members
Reader's Exercise bikes
(also shown: unused exercise bike shorts and posture fix thingy)
Yearbook by Holly Bourne. Trigger warning at the beginning of the book. Hopefully can find another one.
Me too! It makes an OK but slightly ineffective clothes horse...
Bunny said:decorative exercise bike.
I've got one of those
My main interaction with it is when it is dusted.
I could - maybe, perhaps, possibly, but probably not - get on my so-far-mostly-decorative exercise bike.
lol.
Oh no! What was the book? I hope that you find a better one, too.
I'm reading a book and just not getting into it at all. I usually read the same old books with a new one occasionally. I'm reading an official James Bond book (without James Bond, but with the other 00s!) called "Double Or Nothing" (clever title - '00'), but I'm struggling because they use first names, last names, and 004 etc interchangeably and I get really confused. (I'm rubbish a names enough as it is). But I've started, so I'll finish. Just don't ask me what actually happened afterwards.
