Creating art to send out a message to the world, and carelessly spelling the words wrong; do we even matter?

Apostrophes are a finite resource. We need to use them appropriately.
Next we’ll deal with the American Meta-comma, quickly replacing the colon, demi-colon, and period. Watch out for the elusive trailing delimiter comma, previously found delimiting a sub-clause but so extinct as to be completely absent on-line.

I think the cause isn’t as important because, for all of them, I think, the solution could be the same.
Take one small bite of that huge daunting pie, and get the ball rolling. Then take another bite; do something easy. And then another. And now you’re off.
I have tasks lined up for yeeeeears I think. It’s daunting. I do it a bite at a time.

3 [months] later they asked me if it’s ok if we talk on WhatsApp because it’s too bothersome to use two different apps.
Hey, remember in the age of about 9 different messenger protocols, when Pidgin allowed you to message people on the platform they preferred without too much fuss?
The “things we lost in the post-y2k culling of clue and mentorship” box is running out of space.

Safe binaries we can validate with signed manifests, or just ISO27002-violating FlatSnappImage spooge?

If you do it right, too, the private server is $0 in continuing labour.

We got free tickets to DWmC after Shaft burned in a slow dialogue scene. So we saw this for free.
I’m reminded of the reviewer differences between this and The Emperor’s New Groove when I mention we still wanted a refund.

The world’s oldest person with downs syndrome would demand to watch this movie every night. On VHS. …Which became more of a challenge with the years.

- Comment on Why is it ok to replace -ed at the end of a word with -t in some cases? For example, why are "vexed" and "vext" both acceptable, but "thrilled" and "thrilt" aren't? 1 week ago:

That’s the (then-) new highway near where I grew up, right before they put up the signage. I’d slow down because my dad knew all the cops.

That 56 sparks street, Ottawa, right?
Mamadou Ndiaye - aka Casual Geographic - needs to come here and do so, so many new Hinterland Who’s Who eps for us.
We should give him a new passport as part of the deal if he wants it. He’s like a national treasure for more than a few nations.

1987 here, I think. Started at c$3.65 , but minimums moved to $3.80 the next week and so did I.
Red poly tie, red striped button-down poly shirt, black heavy cotton-poly pants. The company supplied them, but I had to replace any pieces I wrecked.
People bitched about the button shirt vs a sloppy pullover jersey, but it was easier to clean. Ultimately I saw a preference for the dumb button-downs.

Nah. My wife has naturally wavy hair. She goes to work with it blow-dried, flattened, and a little plain-looking. On weekends she does none of those things, and it looks gorgeous and wavy and bouncy. Maybe I just have a definite preference – Even Jen Psaki on the TV - gorgeous already - looks better in her other, more natural style, and she’s probably got advisors telling her to vamp it up.

“Banned in most Developed Countries” would be inaccurate since South Korea and Japan hasn’t banned it
Do we agree there’s a difference between ‘most’ and ‘all’?
