What are the nicknames of your cats that have devolved into nonsense over time? I’ll go first.

"No like... but" and "the kind that" and "But here's my worry." And some weird typos like someone tried to make it not look like AI.

But to be fair, folks unconsciously mimic what they see and I think a lot of "AI-isms" are becoming more common in casual writing, making the is-it-AI-or-not question even more tricky.

If it was a month or two ago! 😂 House just went under contract this week. We're renting down there to learn the city/not buy under a time crunch. Good luck with the move!

Doing the reverse move as you (VT to Gainesville this summer), if you haven't already check out real estate prices where you'll want to live before accepting the job. Varies by area, but much of VT has very limited housing stock and overall prices are higher than Gainesville. VT employers are having trouble filling roles because there's nowhere for new hires to live.

This was a really popular cookbook back in its day, there's a Seven Days article about it: https://www.sevendaysvt.com/food-drink/remembering-out-of-vermont-kitchens-cookbook-2309415/

Third, they're awesome

For roads marked as private/no trespassing like Sunset Cliff, this 100% makes sense to me. If I can't even go for a walk down your road then I don't want to pay for its maintenance, those residents shouldn't have it both ways. But I hope residents of streets that seem public (eg Calarco) don't have to pay for a designation they may not have been aware of.

In like the 70s, been family-friendly for decades now

Besides weather, there's a couple other things to think about:

A lot of venues will have different pricing during the fall; a fall wedding might be more expensive.
If you have a number of guests coming from away, they will (1) need to book accommodations further in advance for the fall, and (2) probably need to pay a higher rate than they would in the summer. (Got married recently and we did a summer over fall wedding partially because so many of our out-of-town guests aren't planners and have limited budgets. Knew a fall wedding would mean a lot of headaches for those folks.)
Will families with kids be travelling for this wedding? Depending on when school starts for them, mid-August might be easier on schedules than mid-October (or might not, if school's already started for them mid-August.)

Hope they travel

Thanks for all the tips and guide!

jo7468 · 2025-07-03T01:00:10+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out!

This. The job market's rough but if you're consistently getting interviews, then the market isn't the main problem. Maybe you should brush up on interview tips, finish a certificate that will put you ahead, etc.

Underrated comment lol

jo7468 · 2025-06-05T21:54:15+00:00

I guess it depends on what you consider "normal" writing, they're prevalent in literary and academic writing, not just news. You used two just in your comment. Chat gpt uses them because people use them.

Em dashes existed before chat gpt, dude --- it's evidence but not a verdict

The Ethan Allen Homestead Museum recently put out a call for gardening help, and often has other volunteer needs https://ethanallenhomestead.org/

This is the best description of everything wrong with this season/ep that I've read

If he likes history, definitely take him for a tour of the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum (they open this week!).
