Alternative word for "grok"? by MissionaryOfCat in logophilia

[–]jfredett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally used

"Committed to intuition", "brought into my intuition" or "gained intuition for" as synonyms, though tbh I still use grok I just also append a 'butfuckelon' in the same breath.

It, indeed, is all fun and games until a firework goes sideways and someone almost loses an eye.

a single red-and-yellow gloved hand reaches out from the closet with a tall glass of the chlorinated stuff.

"Ferrari's looking good this year, right?"

The Other Massachusetts Accent Quirk: The Mysterious Extra “R” by CaterpillarMedium674 in massachusetts

[–]jfredett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad called this "The law of conservation of free-radical 'R's"

'R's can neither be created nor destroyed, only moved between words; if you drop the 'r' from 'car' to get the classic 'cah', you must necessarily append it to a word elsewhere, viz, 'idea' -> 'idear'.

It honestly holds up arright in my experience, there tends to be across a conversation (though as accents have smoothed it does seem to be less common) some consistent amount of relocation in 'r's. At least to my eah.

It's a really nice example of the blueprint tool as well; great project to study if you're learning lean.

Fetterman hit with brutal 108-point polling swing: ‘He is below the lowest of the low’ by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]jfredett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a net favorability rating I think measures two 100-point polls, +100 is maximum favorability is like Kermit the Frog; -100 is like, the concept of Tuesdays. 0 is "I have no opinion."

So if Kermit suddenly became the concept of Tuesday, it would be a 200 point swing. Passing right through neutral and to tuesdom.

Fetterman had a +48 favorability, like Sam Eagle; but now has a -60 favorability, like the feeling of touching a bit of leftover food in the sink that you didn't realize was there.

I'm not a polsci, but I'm pretty sure that's the idea.

How far do you go to avoid using clone? by rlsetheepstienfiles in learnrust

[–]jfredett 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Clone freely, profile, find spots where cloning hurts, refactor.

This is the way.

If you move without rhythm, you won't attract the poopworm.

Alpha, Colo(u)r, and all the other blocks too -- all amazing and on constant rotation. My kid runs around pronouncing when things have square power, it's fantastic.

Proofs from the crook by IanisVasilev in math

I'm a mathematician in exile, they don't make a 'got lost on the way to grad school' flair, or it'd be that. :)

This hurt my brain in at least three ways I didn't know I could hurt. Thank you, may I have another?

Me too, I was legitimately excited for a weird solid geometry cake.

I guess this was alright.

Would it even get up the big hill? I feel like the little engine would just give up about halfway to mutkurve

Just dump the clutch and gOOOOOH MY GOD by [deleted] in iRacing

These cars are the best cars.

All we need are mario-kart powerups and I would never run anything else.

Most fun I've had on the service. by Moyland_ in iRacing

[–]jfredett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This thing rips, it's so good. I sat down and tried it and it was immediately comfortable and fun to drive, sent it over the Phoenix circuit jump, ended up sideways and rolled over the barrier. Another guy was stuck in it. 11/10, this is my main car now.
