With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

the important thing about this expression is not the apparent impossibility of something happening, but the harsh consequences that will follow

this is very good, thanks! the usual order of Hebrew letters has Gimmel before Dalet, you might wanna swap them

I got one of those CO2 meters everyone is talking about and was horrified to learn that the CO2 levels in my home and office are fine and that I cannot easily boost my intellectual abilities by opening a window. Stuck with coffee for now.

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

in short (see what I did there), two radicals in spoken language seems too much. comments?

sometimes a word makes no sense at all, unless we are reminded of its former compound form: turkey: tarnegol hodu skirt: simla chatzait

some stubborn words like school Bet Sefer are famously clunky words. others were fused together and changed grammatical gender to avoid the inconvenience: birthday from Yom Huledet (m) to Yomuledet (f)

if you read Hebrew, take a look at this www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb... hebrew speakers consistently abandoned one word of a compound word, there are many more examples. In my mind this is somehow related to your post

in the spirit of using math words in day to day speech (orthogonal, Hermitian 😅), let's use arbitrary as the opposite of random

Yair Mau @yairmau.com · 28/12/2024
You object to Danaher's use of "arbitrary" (rules), saying that these are not random. But arbitrary is the very opposite of random, it is something done by choice. @zachweinersmith.bsky.social is learning french, how does one day Free Will? Libre Arbitre

@bnuyaminim.bsky.social I'm fascinated by this construction, where "et" is omitted before a definite direct object. was this optional in biblical Hebrew?

I'm finishing it now, not the best read. from the whole book I only remember the difference between richness, purpose as the sentence one would say on their deathbed: "what a ride", or "I made a difference". I'm struggling to remember more things and I just can't. why do you say atrocious?
