Many internet-goers like to give pedantry a hard time, but I just want to let you know that I love it and all the niche facts it brings.

Fermat, explain yourself now please.

I do, but rarely. Maybe every other month or so. The situations I do use it, I’ve been thankful that I avoided phones without a jack. I like having appropriate tools at my disposal, and bluetooth will never be universally applicable.

Thank you, it’s frustrating seeing (almost) everyone call them AI. If/when actual AI comes into existence I think a lot of people are going to miss the implications as they’ve become used to every LLM and its grandmother being called AI.

Was raised going to church each sunday, but approaching confirmation age I realised I couldn’t mesh faith with my understanding of the world. That was it for me really, I’m quite open to the idea of god(s), ghosts, magic or other forms of the supernatural, but until there’s actual proof, I can’t believe in it.

Def Bulgaria with toasting knowledge like this.

Commemorative medallion from a battle in Sweden around 1640, cant remember exact year.

Buy concert tickets if you want to support musicians, streaming income doesn’t really factor into it afaik.

Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen writing in a dream.

It might be more catharsis than unwinding, but dark souls/sekiro. I’ve been through them enough times that it’s just comfortable.

I’ve hate-watched all of it. It’s not good, some things are wrenching departures the books, but there’s also been parts of it they adapted well I think.

For trebuchets at least, they were only siege weapons, took a long time to both assemble and fire. Though I must concede they were better than melee weapons for knocking down walls.

Giant, geode, gel, george, gerbil. Just sayin’.

In French (and probably many other languages) first person plural is more polite. People in England started defaulting to “you” as it was a safer bet socially, and “thou” fell out of use.

English also used thorn (þ) before for “th” but printing presses didn’t, and substituted “y”, which I suspect contributed.
