There's a range of reasons why sharing ideas help foster a positive culture of creativity so if you don't already have a time and place to do so I strongly suggest brainstorming, 10xing, or whichever other method makes this process easy on groups of individuals. It's a lot of fun and we get a lot out of it. - you never know who might be interested in your idea - putting your ideas out there helps you to get feedback…

I've found, actually, that if I happen to be thinking "I wish there was an X", I can search on "X" and it's already been done.

What do you mean by "10xing"? I tried googling, and all the hits were variations of "How to 10X Your Life", or "Become 10X Awesome", but nobody using it as a verb.

In English, famously any noun can be verbed!

True, but keep in mind that verbing weirds language.

As the say here "shy bairns get nowt."

I'm not sure where you're from but it's incredibly cool that you still use words recognisable from Anglo-Saxon (bearn and nawiht).

It's Scottish or maybe northern English - "nowt" is more common south of the border but "bairn" is more common in scotland. The fun thing is that we also use "wean" (wee one) as another common word for "child" but with a completely different etymology.

Hungry judge and hypoglycemic judge are two very different things. Related, but definitely not the same.

The proposed monitoring gets directly to the hypoglycemia.

Had to look closer into it, there's a nice audio file of it here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shy_bairns_get_nowt

Unfortunately the accent on that audio file is strongly US to my ear.

I googled and got “In North-Eastern English dialect, ‘shy bairns get nowt’ is a well-known idiom that essentially translates to ‘shy children get nothing’. Often used to encourage children (or adults) to speak up and have self-confidence”. The original commenter gidorah has a UK email address. https://www.wordsense.eu/shy_bairns_get_nowt/ looked like a reasonable reference.

Edit: here’s it said proper good - skip to 42 minutes: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UaErbstVKAQ Aside: The transcript feature on YouTube is amazing but the UX is soooooo frustrating - the feature doesn’t exist on iPad Safari - and the text is not searchable on YouTube iPad App.

If anyone is in (or knows anyone in) agronomy, please fund/start studies on the viability of using bacillus subtilis, the bacteria behind natto, to ferment animal feeds, thus increasing the latent levels of vitamin K2 in their diets.

I had no idea natto had these health benefits. I eat natto a few times a week, mostly because it is yummy and really easy to prepare. It is basically instant food if you already have rice. If you like fermented food, I can’t recommend it enough. I guess a lot of people are hesitant though since it is quite slimy and has an odd smell, but if you can get over that, it is really a perfect instant food.

what is the definition of "perfect food"? For me that would probably be a banana. eady to eat, tastes great, relatively easy to ship all over the world.

even in Japan, half the country doesn't like natto.

My wife has a saying, “you don’t get what you want unless you ask for it” Similar I’ve heard “if you ask you might not get it. If you don’t ask, you definitely will not” Even if the OP didn’t get their guitar, what did they lose by trying? Nothing. But since they were willing to put themself out just a little they ended up with something I’m sure they love. There’s a fine line between this attitude and demanding from…

As they say here "No you've got, Yes you can get."

Whilst I am from Southern UK, I live in the North East UK. Accents here are strong and vary quite a bit. DO NOT confuse a Geordie for a Mackem (or vice versa) at all!

It is interesting that there is a lot of slang that I had never heard befote moving here, but slang from the South is more widely known. A coworker suggested getting 'ket' for a meeting. I did not know 'ket' here means sweets (candy)...
