Those crossings we do also have in NZ, a country with many sheep
The house is also something you definitely wouldn’t see in NZ, I also think Scandinavia, specifically Norway since the others don’t really have mountains by the water like that.
Calling them emperors for a little while but not changing anything else isn’t anything like independence
Ask a serf from tsarist imperial (for the pedants) Russia?
(it did though)
Sweden has its own problems rn
It is, it lives in Australia too and that’s what they call it there
No, they really are. No doubt they do plenty of stuff at the behest of the NSA, but they are also a deeply disfunctional company with conflicts between departments and bare minimum funding for security, since it’s seen as a cost centre
Ehhh i that’s likely enough, but Microsoft is also just shit at fixing things
Ehh radioactivity is squarely in physics
They mean pet textiles like dog blankets etc, I’ve seen the same rule in shared laundry facilities all over Europe. The hair fucks up the machines pretty bad and gets on the next person’s washing. Sometimes there’s a dedicated smaller machine where it’s allowed.
Building massive production capacity to replace all the cars just locks us in to having cars though
Climate-wise, 5-10 story buildings are the most efficient, and they are plenty dense enough to support a good level of public transport service etc. It’s probably not desirable to go much bigger except in the most constrained areas.
People who previously were at the high end of GPU can now afford used H100s -> they sell their GPUs -> we can maybe afford them
If I was a high bird I would love a pick your own cherries event
It’s a whole day’s worth of maintenance calories for a medium-to-big active male. I sure hope you couldn’t eat a whole meal on top.
He is way too much of an egoist for that
Should we just let any old thing that slips into common usage to become the norm?
Yes.
Why not spell it “definately”? It’s very common and everyone understands it.
I don’t think that quite meets the threshold yet, since most people who do that would still agree that it’s not correct. However, it’s close, and I wouldn’t be against recording it as an alternative spelling.
It’s a bit tangential, but English spelling is awful anyway, it bears hardly any relationship to the pronunciation, and I think it’s great if it evolves to be a bit less unintuitive.
I suppose you probably do accept the existence of American spellings, even if you aren’t from there? So the only difference between us is time, and how many people use a variant. Everyone is a descriptivist, some people just also think they should force their opinions on others, which is wrong. ;)
Oh hey it’s the CCH. Great venue.
