      @Hunko@woof.group Really? I must confess I have always had a thing for shorter men (even though I prefer the little spoon). And sexy, muscly, furry, reddish, ruddy are all things that rev my motor.

      Your man is one damned lucky individual to have landed you!

        @joel@tumfatig.net @robert I suppose I must defer to you, since I have no experience in either. (Of course, maybe pleating the « whole nine yards » of a kilt may be comparable?)

                @liebach@mastodon.art @joel@mastodon.art Agreed. While I personally do not care for rap/hip-hop, there is definitely skill and artistry that can be found in the lyrics and composition.

                (I find it to be the same for religious texts: while I do not personally follow any organized religion, I find their foundational texts to be quite interesting and relevant when considered as literature rather than dogma.)

                    @grumble209@kolektiva.social @robert@kolektiva.social There were so many awesome ideas in BeOS, that I wish they made their way into other systems today.

                    Gruber was commenting on a post about how great Apple's TextExit was because of its support for the "stable" RTF format. But he fails to acknowledge that RTF is constantly updated to mirror Word by Microsoft.

                    The awesomeness of BeOS's StyledEdit was that its files were actual plain text files, and readable by every other system. The "styles" were all saved as extended attributes in the filesystem.

                                  The meme is a matrix of 4 frames with Jurassic Park characters and the options "Doesn't use AI", "Uses AI" on the vertical axis, and "Doesn't know how AI works" and "Knows how AI works" on the horizontal access.

Thusly: Alan grant doesn't know how AI works and doesn't use it. The scummy lawyer doesn't know how AI works but DOES use it. Ian Malcolm knows how AI works and does not use it. Dennis Nedry knows how AI works and DOES use it.

                                    I have guns. I have a concealed weapons permit. It is absolutely entirely legal for me to be filming ICE with a firearm on my person. It is not a reason to shoot me. If ICE is tackling me and my firearm becomes visible, that is also not a reason to shoot me. If it were, we’d be shooting all these unmarked goons running around with openly displayed sidearms.

                                            If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design

No, not a business license, but a separate license from the city requiring photo ID and fingerprinting.

                                                In nearly 15 years of living here, I have only ever had ONE single individual have such a license. (Because he did, I listened to his spiel and considered his wares. Asking for their solicitor's license is my first question: if they don't have it, I tell them goodbye and inform them of their illegal actions.)

(I may be misremembering and completely wrong, but I thought it was some like nearly 80% of American whiskey exports are to Canada.)
