One bit of good news I found is that those books really reward rereading.

Whether or not this is the motivation, maybe the clunkiness is useful to draw the viewer's attention?

Give me one witty aside footnote in the intro and I will read EVERY footnote for the rest of the book in anticipation of another one

But what did you watch too old? I used to love any old gory schlock but even watching Alien the other day I was thinking “those poor people, they’re just trying to get their job done”.

That's how you can tell human authors from AI. AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off. Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

If nothing else, the flour has much less protein, due to the variety of wheat; it's closer to the protein content of other US brands' pastry flour.

Even coming from the US, I feel like I mostly know this from Li'l Abner, with all the connotations that drags in. My first association is the line in the Li'l Abner musical, "If I had my druthers, I'd druther have my druthers than anything else I know."

Eye level grills weren't a feature of my childhood, so my primary association is Flanders & Swann's "Design for Living": "I'm delirious about our new cooker fitment with the eye-level grill. This means without my having to bend down the hot fat can squirt straight into my eye!"

Who owns that many dice? That scourge of decent Canadian society, the dice smuggler! Who as you know commit 98% of all crimes in Canada. Fun fact: Canada Customs in that era assumed all imported books were pornography. Dealing with them was so much fun.

Oh hey y’all guess what I have a new book coming out in March 2025 & you can pre-order it if you want! You can do so from anywhere, I recommend your local indie, but meanwhile here’s Macmillan’s link us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Cover for The River Has Roots on a dark green background. On a pale cover, a squiggly graphic line moving from the top left corner of the book down to the bottom right corner is a portal into a soft, romantic landscape of rivers and hills; bursting out between the squiggle’s curves are bright bold dahlias in warm hues. At the top of the image are the words “The River” and at the bottom are the words “Has Roots”; below those are “New York Times Bestselling author Amal El-Mohtar.”

That sounded more glib than I meant it to be. I haven't been there in many years, but I found the Sagrada Família fascinating in large part because it seemed so fractured. I'm not sure what my reaction would have been to seeing all those components somehow unified.

"A mad, magnificent thing" and "an incoherent mess" aren't necessarily inconsistent.

I would think the food and architecture are a valid reason by themselves! (Also, seconding the Sagrada Família being worth visiting even before completion. I've visited it two or three times, and the changes between visits were fascinating.)

I got 68%, which makes me suspect that the statistics are evolving; 68% vs 69% seems like an extremely fine distinction to get out of so few questions.

This is pants-shitting levels of increase for any SRE (the people who keep websites from falling over), and the fact Bluesky (mostly) hasn't fallen over and the impact to existing users has been as minor as it has been is the kind of feat non-tech people don't understand how impressive it is.
