I use em dashes -- the entry into any word processor is two dashes, just tell it not to autocorrect to an em-dash.

Brother going down the lolcow pipeline.

Do not post a video of yourself getting emotional after receiving targeted harassment, you'll only be digging a deeper hole.

Usually its being too poor to have a shop fix something for you, and being forced to do it yourself.

Used to buy a book like the Chilton's manual where it has instructions for performing repairs on your vehicle. They have an online version:

That sucks - I want to say Aluminum has material properties where it does not handle repeated stress well and will have fatigue failures. So anything like this just inherently has a limited number of cycles in its designed lifespan.

I thought it was going to be heinous, but its just tear gas, which is technically a chemical weapon. We're routinely hit with CN/CS here in the states as civilians, there are adverse health effects they do not really talk about though.

Like the mythical 8-ship-jump of Minamoto Yoshitsune in the battle of Dan-No-Ura

I am lucky enough to live along the rail line that connects the east coast to Chicago. It is the main connection between population centers. There are only 2 train lines that pass through, each line only has one train in both directions. (total 4 a day, 2 east, 2 west) No service during the day, only early morning and late night.

Rail service is a joke here.

Our buses are more of a suggestion even if they go to where you want.

To me, pardon the term, but hysteria about AI generated content as some sort of cooties that taints whatever it touches is silly.

AI content generally not art because there is not the same intentionality behind it in an ontological sense, in the same way pretty patterns that naturally occur are not art. You can be inspired by whatever, I'd just call you a shit artist if you trace some AI content and call it your art.

You could argue that it is possible to be art in the same way that guided natural processes can be art, using tools does not immediately make something not art, but looking like art also does not necessarily make something art -- it is an interplay between an artisan and their tools to shape the world with intentionality. I think its just a higher bar to clear with tools that could possibly make some of the "creative decisions".
