And all the prescriptivists just collapsed onto their fainting couches.
(I kid, nicely done. Also fuck prescriptivists.)
- Comment on The Wikipedia Test 2 weeks ago:
While 700k may look like a lot (and by most objective measures it is), the skill set needed to run a successful non/not for profit is actually quite unique no matter how big or small it is. They do not work not like “normal” CEOs. Replace caring about share price, and moving the share price up effectively versus caring about voluntary donations from people who get nothing out of but perhaps a tax break. And you’re competing not against other equities (stocks); you’re competing against other non/not for profits for limited money and attention.
Anyway, just saying I do not begrudge that level of compensation to the people running the last corner of the internet not filled with AI slop.

I wasn’t going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.

GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.

Can’t we just have AskCulinary back? Please? Kenji…?

Endless Sky. Open source and crowd developed. Its story lines, assets, and general size have only increased with age. Active Discord server as well (but it’s only single player, for now anyway).
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 2 months ago:
FWIW, I have multiple things I should go to in the USA coming up, and neither I nor my family are willing to risk it. My two (young adult) children and I have dual USA - EU country citizenship. My wife had a green card when she lived with me in NYC for over a decade, but turned it in when we moved back long ago. These facts (let alone what my posting history is like) are just too much for us. We won’t risk it.
It’s kind of like a plane crash: very unlikely to happen but you are equally unlikely to walk away unhurt.

It’s got dat alliteration on its side though!
