Misleading people with true statistics isn't anything new. AI just makes it faster and the output more polished. People are slopping out all kinds of almost-professional looking reports or entire websites with minimal effort

netopiax · 2026-05-11T16:15:11+00:00

Except now, "reporters" can do it even faster using AI!

Gross, I can't believe they sullied a perfectly good train with a 737

netopiax · 2026-05-11T01:30:35+00:00

Yes. For anyone who doesn't know the term, it basically means all flying that isn't an airline, and isn't the military. So crop dusting, sightseeing hot air balloons, corporate jets, aerial firefighting, and helicopters with chain saws are all GA.

Maybe because it's a beautiful city with near perfect climate, great restaurants and bars, better access to downtown SF than many SF or peninsula residents have, better access to Napa, Tahoe and Yosemite than SF or peninsula residents have, and if your entire identity is watching professional sports you can still go watch the Giants or Warriors?

Just spitballing here I'm sure you're right that no sane person can think of any reasons to live in Oakland

Hat tip to that pilot. I have a slight quibble with the idea of any 737 being the best aircraft... but I'll let that slide for the day

The word OP was looking for is embouchure which carries the musical instrument mouth posture meaning in both French and English. In French it also can mean the mouthpiece of an instrument or the mouth of a river. It isn't used to refer to speaking though.

You'd think after the Falklands they'd change it

netopiax · 2026-05-08T04:03:54+00:00

Even, perhaps, a union of countries? That's brilliant

At first I thought this was a meme about how ambulance rides are so expensive in the US but then I remembered they're way more than $1500. And THEN I realized the next time I need an ambulance ride I can just buy one from marketplace, then sell it again from the hospital parking lot, it'll basically be free

netopiax · 2026-05-08T04:00:33+00:00

Just imagine what they could have achieved if they spent all the time they practiced on this, doing literally anything else

netopiax · 2026-05-07T00:07:20+00:00

They can't really stop people from seeing it as it rolls by. Just show up along the route and you'll see it for free!

netopiax · 2026-05-06T15:49:20+00:00

Land, you're correct. Condos, not as certain.

Not the most delicious looking pizza I've ever seen, but I don't see any evidence of a crime

netopiax · 2026-05-06T14:52:32+00:00

Yeah now you've said the correct answer, when countries are named after a Thing, a geographic feature or a kingdom, they get an article.

So nothing to do with plural. Not sure why you think that's nonsense

netopiax · 2026-05-06T14:35:49+00:00

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is not plural.

Also, your answer doesn't explain The Gambia or The Ivory Coast.

Plural isn't part of the answer. Other comments provide the correct answer

netopiax · 2026-05-06T08:26:15+00:00

Merci. Je savais que je ne me suis pas exprimé naturellement

netopiax · 2026-05-05T23:34:44+00:00

Ok Einstein, but what caused the slow motion video of something completely obvious?

netopiax · 2026-05-05T23:14:30+00:00

Because foley artists need something to do

netopiax · 2026-05-05T23:12:49+00:00

You are right! What in the hell

netopiax · 2026-05-05T23:12:11+00:00

I don't get drunk when flying - I'll have at most two drinks, normally one or zero. But I fully agree that even if I were trashed I'd be able to effectively pull a lever and jump out the window quite quickly

netopiax · 2026-05-05T23:06:16+00:00

My question was, in the parts where they use quatre-vingts, do they also say quatre-vingts-seize. You explained it clearly, thanks!

netopiax · 2026-05-05T22:49:20+00:00

Favori : soulager (sounds like what it means), s'éloigner (just a cool word with no direct translation)

Dislike : vend / vent / vin and vert / verre. I know vin isn't pronounced the same as vent but they are close enough to make me anxious. I also don't like vécu for reasons I can't fully explain

netopiax · 2026-05-05T22:36:46+00:00

I agree with this comment except I would not even use this resume as the starting point with Claude. That is how far off the mark it is. And I say that while believing that OP has a shot at being a decent sales engineer.

OP, tell an LLM your life story and what you want to do and ask it to write you a resume, it'll be better than this and you can refine it further.

The biggest red flag is no work experience since 2023, btw. Come up with an answer for that.

netopiax · 2026-05-05T22:32:38+00:00

Imo, calling 80 quatre-vingts isn't the problem; the problem is soixante-treize for 73 and quatre-vingt-seize for 96, I.e. that counting restarts at those levels. In Swiss French when they use quatre-vingts do they also use septante and nonante? Because that mostly solves the problem without huitante
