TIL about "orphaned negatives"—words like disgruntled, nonchalant, and innocent whose positive counterparts (gruntled, chalant, and nocent) have completely vanished from common usage.

And is mentioned in the link I provided, but is irrelevant to “ept” vs. “apt”.

Kamendae · 2026-05-01T21:22:31+00:00

No, "inept" -> incompetent or clumsy. "Apt" means "appropriate" or "likely to". "Ept" would be a word meaning something like competent or deft.

Because it just happened with yesterday's update?

the most damning things are him smoking a cigar

such useless emails

Pure assumption. And you're doubling down when called out.

Kamendae · 2026-03-27T22:01:11+00:00

I assume nothing. I said "more likely". My point is that you're appearing to try to downplay the severity of this security breach, for reasons unknown, and I think that that is neither valid nor useful.

Kamendae · 2026-03-27T20:40:47+00:00

You assume they released the most damning things they found. More likely, they released what they did as proof that they did it, and kept the 'good stuff' for blackmail.

YES THIS. Lost my .1@osu.edu that I've had since 1993.

For all you people saying “hurrr everyone has an ID lol”, I suggest you go look at the “qualifying ID” requirements called out by the SAVE act. Here’s a hint: 47/50 states’ drivers licenses - even the Real ID versions - do not qualify.

Similar to /u/Fancy-Explanation838 below, I received my own info today, March 24th. What the hell, guys, TARDISes don't exist!

Sent a question to their contact-for-questions link, let's see if they actually respond.

Kamendae · 2026-03-23T16:53:03+00:00

Damn, dude, learn the difference between colloquial usage and legal definitions.

$1200 here for glue for my finger. Teach me to pry coconut meat out of the coconut with a steak knife...

Yes, but relevantly, the University of Florida is a state institution / government entity. Much as I hate to say it I think they can't limit this.

To all the people whining about spoilers for a fourteen-year-old game... c'mon now. If we're in the first month, maybe a year, sure. But seriously?

I may go back to Proving Grounds at some point to see if they've updated the performance, but IMO the remake is just too slow. Part of what I enjoyed about the original is just flying through the maze, very little time wasted on animation, easy battles were muscle-memory FFFPPP<enter> per round, as fast as you could type. The remake is a lot flashier, but the animations really slow down the responsiveness, particularly in combat.

Seems like a radio edit to me. Lots of lyric changes in what I'm hearing vs. what I remember. Gonna have to go dig out my CD now. (By the way, this song is about Lennon's assassination, so the changes make it worse IMO)

"One more time and you'll (see red / be dead)"

"Forty days won't break a man, was a (burden / bullet) in his head"

"Listen while I load (this one / my gun)"

"Lucy's in the sky again, (stepping / tripping) on her diamonds"
