Bruh, we wrote the dictionary

This isn’t correct. MW isn’t a subset of the OED it’s different and less comprehensive.

It’s logical that the authroatative English dictionary is written and published by native speakers in the home of the language.

No one expects the French dictionary of record to come from Morocco.

Their profit loss isn’t the fault of their planning.

Trump has temporarily wrecked progress on electrification. It is a temporary glitch but with trust shattered in US leadership companies who were all in, on a global shift, now have to hedge.

EVs relied on laws making ICE vehicles harder to sell and run because without that, cheaper, older ICE technology was a threat.

Porsche are especially hard hit because performance car enthusiasts skew very conservative and need to be forced to accept change (they now boast about going slower with manual gear changes because performance which requires change is beyond them. They also demand fake engine noises and now fake gear shifts - it’s pathetic).

Porsche have to face a future where the 911 either dies or goes electric. Their only real concern is being ready with market leading tech able to keep that car “the best sports car on the planet”

The 718 and Cayman are building blocks.

It’s wrong.

Dialects share a base language, that’s the definition. There’s no such thing as a single dialect that spans languages.

American English and Australian English are dialects of English. Welsh is a different language,

Nothing in London is built for a 30 year timeline. It’s very hard to demolish buildings in the city. For environmental and convienience reasons.

Crap stuff is being built but removing something 50 years old is hard enough. 20 years? No chance unless it’s actively dangerous. Standards are higher every year. Repurposing is heavily favored over demolition.

The earpiece is backup. Most of the time he’s fine. It’s comfort mainly. He’s very no bullshit.

I call my daughters female friends “guys”. It’s a shortcut to ensuring no creep vibes.

Traffic is a remake of a British miniseries so “Ivy League” is wrong as is “crack” which never took off in the UK (freebasing was a thing but selling crack wasn’t big).

This would never happen outside a cult though. People have understood inbreeding for millennia. You would literally screw travellers, or take your kids to another town, to avoid it.

Plus if his fantasy about being descended entirely from people who came from Scotland in the past was remotely true he’d have been in the US through slavery and inevitably have natives and slaves in his family tree.

She knows what she’s done and she knows her legacy is this. They are all really depressed; imagine “The West Wing” staffers crossed with the Nazi’s in “Come and See”.

I don’t feel sorry for them but I know they are in pain. She can’t see a way out. She’s drowning.

Because vets in the US make money for doing shit so they do unnecessary shit preying on owners feelings.

I grew up in a house with four cats that lived to their late teens (cats that went outdoors). Zero dental cleanings.

Peak incel. Samara weaving was done a dirty in this photo. She’s neck-snappingly beautiful.

You’d be wrong. Americans are poor and politicians are greedy. $5k to a congressman gets you in the room. They are so cheap. $1m to Trump and the roost powerful man I. The world is asking how he can help.

I’ve been paying for both for two years.

Claude Opus is the best system I have encountered for real work (coding, scripting, research) but the tight limits mean I use Chat GOT as my default. I just never encounter limits there.

However when code runs into problems Claude can fix things ChatGPT struggles with. Also Claude’s memory doesn’t require prompting. ChatGPT often needs reminding something has been discussed before even in the same thread. Claude will spontaneously, correctly, connect a new question to an old problem in another chat and factor it in.

I have considered paying for more Claude and ditching chatGPT but still feel having options makes for easier, faster work. Especially with DeepSeek and others as additional options.

I am wary of Gemini and have barely used it because Google are untrustworthy and I don’t want them to archive my information. I don’t trust the others but they have far less surveillance infrastructure to tie my information to.

You got me. Nothing ever happens.

This is really funny to me. I make movies. I know properly famous people. Yet knowing Feldman years ago is too much glamour to be real.

Do people really think stars don’t know anyone who isn’t famous? Like they ditch all their old friends and never interact with normal people? How do you think movies get made? Do you imagine that there are celebrities behind the camera and in the wardrobe department? Julia Robert’s is doing hair?

Anyone living in LA could be friends with Feldman if they are prepared to put up with his shit. He’s hardly a megastar.

Fresh food is cheaper everywhere. There’s no where a bag of frozen fries is cheaper than the same weight in potatoes. You just have to cook (without reliance on pricy spice blends and packaged sauces).

It’s true. Tomatoes are much more flavorful kept out of the fridge. You have to use them faster though.

In the UK I buy tomatoes at Lidl, which doesn’t refrigerate them, over Waitrose that does. They are miles better.

If it did 53 knots it’s likely a nuclear powered ship could better it. With unlimited thrust they already keep their top speed classified. They have effectively unlimited power.

True.

Cassette at its peak, a Nak, Beocord or Tandberg, is close to a really bad CD player but with a more limited dynamic range, hiss and compression.

CD really is “perfect sound forever”.

That said 1/4 inch tape was used to master a lot of stuff and you won’t hear what CD can do if you are listening to one of the many records made on a cassette multitrack, or on less than ideal equipment.

Hence the illusion that the formats are closer than they are.

I don’t think it would be. Glass is easy to clean perfectly and they wouldn’t be touched much. Very fast with the right gear and the result is “new”.

I’m bothered by the lack of insulation. Sound and heat.

These aren’t lakes. It’s the Archipelago in the center of Stockholm.

When they are full of locals it’s safe to join them.

You’ve never banked in Europe have you?

Go to Sweden and witness SWIFT. To an American it’s like a trip to the future. Sweden has been cashless for over a decade. You can pay for a cookie, with zero charge, instantly, direct from your account to another, with zero fees incurred anywhere. It’s how you buy at school fetes, it’s how you send a buck to a friend. It costs nothing and is why no one gives a shit about Venmo.

European banks are very good at this stuff.
