Everything you post about the electrical work in your house confirms my conviction that I Don't Do Electrical. Paint? Sure. Plumbing? The bits that stick out of the wall, at least. Light carpentry? I am surely overestimating my ability but like it would be fine. Electrical? Absolutely Not.

I very much want to believe this is a magic library full of occult books and they keep misfiring and desperately need an appropriate caretaker to calm them and make the magic accessible for witchcraft again, but the existence of Magic needs to stay secret hence the NDA it’s prob just porn though

Unformed thought I need y'all to chew on while I'm at this conference today: industry leaders and administrators are more likely to adopt generative tools and be excited about them because they have already handed off significant portions of their granular work to other people.

"Opera doesn't make money. Opera’s what you spend money *on*.” “But . . what do you get out of it?” “You get opera. You put money in, you see, and opera comes out,” said Salzella wearily. --Terry Pratchett, 'Maskerade'

Merry asks who made this path along the hills. Strider’s answer reminds Sam of one of Bilbo’s old songs, and Sam sings the first few lines: ‘Gil-galad was an Elven-king. Of him the harpers sadly sing: the last whose realm was fair and free between the Mountains and the Sea…’

It's bonkers how "User agreements" are actually binding contracts where one party gets to change them whenever and however they wish and the other party has the options to agree or to stop using computers.

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.com? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

The trainer told us to offer our dog a treat when he was chewing on something he wasn't supposed to, the result being that he now finds little bits of trash, walks over to my desk, and loudly, insistently chews them until I give him food, like a little dog trash collector turning in cans for cash
