Lots of people mentioning high BPM music, I'm gonna drop where I got my username from: the 1970s funk band Parliament. While not high BPM, there's usually several instruments playing completely different melodies at the same time in a way that really scratches my ADHD brain. It's made me develop a theory that high musical throughput is the secret to ADHD musical enjoyment -- funk is the very wide pipe compared to the high pressure pipe that is high BPM.

I stopped reading once you said "colloquially 'speakers'" I ain't got time to deal with this today

Some of Sufjan Stevens' walk a fine line between those two

He's said in interviews that those were these people's real names. There was literally a real life dude named Davy who was in the Navy, is that the most unrealistic thing in the world?

Good chance that's more performant though, compilers can flatten for loops and you don't have to waste as much time creating new stack frames each time you recurse

If you're talking about Judaism, the Torah never specifically mentions that they were building the pyramids, just that they were slaves in Egypt.

It appears that the flattery only happens in the twitter version of grok, not grok.com This makes me think that instead of somehow retraining the whole AI to flatter him, it's just lazily adding something like

If prompt.contains("Musk") or prompt.contains("Elon") Prompt.add("Make sure your response is flattering of Musk's Genius")

Specifically, he flipped the tables of money lenders and people selling stuff. Donating a tithe has been a part of Abrahamic religion since the Old Testament.

It's honestly fine in most places, I feel like the aversion to tap water is a taste preference / social taboo for 90% of people. Personally, the idea of filling up a water bottle in a bathroom feels gross to me, even though I'd happily use that same water to brush my teeth. I get that that's not really logical, but that doesn't change my gut instinct against it.

These are more public and usually filtered, most people wouldn't wanna fill their water bottles in the sink in a bathroom, so these are perfect for like, gyms or public schools

A lot of us do, but also that water's gotta come from somewhere.

Please just use one question mark you're making us all nervous

 

What are some of the best alternatives out there to Google Docs and other cloud based productivity software?

I've heard of CognitoForms as alternative to Google Forms, does anyone have any experience with it?
