People are in here telling me their particular phone does not work when they hold it to to their ear. I assure you it does. I'm so sorry to be a stickler on this point but yes it does

Today, unfortunately, is nonclimbing weather, but I went to an art centre and workshop and spoke to a lovely woman who’s been a full time artist since 1990. It makes me happy somehow that it’s still possible in the age of AI nonsense, grant nonsense, metrics nonsense and all the other nonsenses

Honestly, as someone who has actually managed interns, it feels very adjacent to that. Lots of people who don't actually have to manage people frequently suggest "interns" as a solution to any number of capacity problems, not thinking about how much it takes to supply them with/oversee the work.

I realised post-factum that you had guessed already. But yes indeed, it’s a lovely calque from Finnish, leaving space for milk. If I were the hotel, I’d have written smth like “3/4 cup”, but hey, it seems to be working for them
