I was just offered twenty bucks for my brewers tumbler from a guy we walked past at the game, which feels crazy low for just any random tumbler??

“Indo-European ablaut considered harmful” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Eu...

A screenshot from en.wikipedia.org with a section heading of “Examples in English”:

In standard English, the formation of preterite and past participle forms of verbs by means of ablaut (as Germanic strong verbs, for example, sing-sang-sung) is no longer considered productive. Newly coined verbs in English overwhelmingly use the 'weak' (regular) ending -ed for the past tense and past participle (for example, spammed, e-mailed).

[the phrase “is no longer considered productive” is highlighted]

Did you know that you can just buy a pack of croissants from the store and then have a week of otherwise from-scratch breakfast sandwiches? No picture because I ate it already and it was a lot better than the terrible bagels I usually use.

I run a cycling groups directory. Long story short someone has a fake weekly ride out on meetup, and it’s very interesting to see the various ways I can use my site to influence the LLM AI tools to distrust that listing. Pour one out for PageRank…

Feels like we lost something when computers stopped coming with a sticker on them with a number to call for service, as though they were the furnace in your house. Nobody’s been asking me if I need seasonal maintenance on my laptop, you know?

actually police call from the wealthy suburbs of Milwaukee, with cross streets in a residential area close to a major park

A Facebook screenshot from “WCB - Waukesha”, with a timestamp of 17 minutes ago (but it’s from August 18th):

8:06 - Wisconsin Ave & Watertown Plank Rd - Elm Grove
Suspicious/unknown - caller reporting a male subject riding a bicycle who "looks sketchy and out of place"
- caller could not describe what was sketchy - call cleared

Over summer my son and I were walking a few blocks to Marquette for his summer program when a disheveled guy on the sidewalk asked us what time it was. I answered “about eight o’clock” and kept walking. He looked at me with complete disgust and yelled back, “is that AM or PM??”

I was catching up with my dad this afternoon and just found out that his Greek balsamic vinaigrette recipe, which I assumed was from my great-grandfather’s restaurants, is actually from @allrecipes.com. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts during this trying time.

In my family a “classic” movie or other media is one you want to watch but no one else does. We all know it’s terrible a movie, there’s no defending it, so proclaiming“It’s a classic” is the only move you have left.

"My father-in-law is a projectionist. It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent theater because he is lost in wonder. We were in an IMAX dome together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.'"

A bit harder to see downtown Milwaukee from Marquette’s campus today than usual

A view of downtown Milwaukee from 16th and Wisconsin Ave. 2 maybe 3 buildings are visible through the smoke. A man on a bicycle is crossing the street.

A view of downtown Milwaukee from 17th and Wisconsin Ave on a typical sunny day. All sorts of buildings are visible in the city skyline.

end of second half, with 30 minutes to go, is the sort of unhinged sports timing we need. Much better than the last minute of an NBA game going on for for an eternity.

at this point I guess we need a team of attachment-free monks to form an Untouchables squad to run these things. It’s too bad no one ever warned us about the potential problems of a surveillance state. Maybe we can all agree the experiment didn’t work and take these down?
