@mttaggart it is hard to talk about because the origin point for all their usage is still “language”. they write so many prompts. so many agents dot em dee. but it is … debased, somehow. the kind of thinking that goes into a prompt is distorted and bizarre. flaccid, careless, the perverse approximation of language that you get out of a chatbot is a strangely fitting reward for the perverse approximation of language you put in

@Quasit secure... gripping... cushioned... robust... sturdy... rugged... Hmmm there needs to be a new word...

This is all motivated by archery. Modern target archery bows are covered in socket head cap screws, mostly (but not quite exclusively) in imperial sizes.

The kid has seen the Bondhus folding sets that I bought to take to the range in my quiver, has heard me mutter too many times about the false economy of making do with cheap and crappy tools, and has been admiring the sets of Wera ball end L-keys that I use at home. Consequently they have become unsatisfied with the zip lock bag of increasingly rusty loose unlabelled Allen keys that came with our equipment that I put in their quiver just in case.

Whenever they're shooting I am always on hand with the good Allen keys in case they ever need them, but apparently that is not good enough. Well, OK, I'm happy to start their personal tool collection with some decent Allen keys of their own.

Police officers monitored the fake cameras for days, then charged a man with three felonies after he cut down and destroyed one of the plastic devices. https://www.404media.co/man-charged-with-3-felonies-for-breaking-3d-printed-decoy-flock-camera/

@tehfishman I used to use it as a counter to parents who were terrified of the internet. Joke's on me.

Got roped into helping an elderly neighbour pick plums off multiple trees. Definitely didn't have time to do that, but it was really nice chatting with her, she let me pat her hairless cat (!!) and now I have probably 50 pounds of really tasty plums that I need to figure out what to do with (a very good problem to have).
