why don't they name sports teams after concepts more often? like, the Tennessee Jubilations or the Arkansas Estrangements? that'd be a draw for me

I wonder if you could use a language model to find and fix verb tense errors or to change verb tenses for a block of text

@glow well, there might be jobs like that on oil rigs or those offshore wind farms...

@peterdrake hmm. I don't much care for models like that which try to bin everyone. It's more interesting to consider things like that comparatively, somewhat like you did in saying I'm "*more* of an 'Explorer'" in relation to you, but maybe I'm more of a "killer" in relation to the next. The difference is the axes suggest a specific frame of reference and a zero point, but it's not obvious there is one--could someone be equally all four types?

@peterdrake funny. I've recently come to appreciate that I'm exactly the opposite. For a good game, there are so many more ways to not "win" than there are to "win". Just winning bores me.

I always at least try to win in competitive games though: unless you've all agreed to just screw around, it's rude to not give it your best.

if I know anything about music improvisation, it's that if you play something by accident, just play it two more times and it's almost like you meant to do it

@gemlog @lupyuen @fitheach is that a problem though? if you're allowing sql input intentionally, locking it down to a proscribed database/set of tables is trivial for most of your rdbms

@emily depending on the schools you went to, you might have learned everything by rote or direct instruction and never been forced to seek knowledge on your own. it's different from my experience, but I can imagine that it's possible to live like that, especially if you aren't particularly intelligent but still have a decent memory

request for help 

I've really been wanting to avoid making one of these posts, but I just noticed that I have less than $100 left to spend on my credit card and less than $200 in the bank. Groceries as a Californian who can't eat gluten are super expensive, so I need more than that if I want to continue buying them for more than like a month!
I've set up a spotfund here spot.fund/MorganSurvivalFund and there's always my ko-fi at ko-fi.com/raphaelmorgan and Patreon at patreon.com/raphaelmorgan

I wonder what actual military strategists would say about whether Erwin is actually a good strategist and leader

in my dream there was a television ad for poptarts that suggested if you need a map, you should carve the map into the back of your pastry. even dream-me thought that was stupid
