I think good sudoku constructors have a limited number of normal techniques and unsolve complete grids to create puzzles

No

The dictionary is no longer up to date but it will be soon. If you’re using it now you’ll be okay tbh

There’s a new page on the blog! It’s not comprehensive but it gets the idea across

Ah the old Fourier trick ☝️

😟 I forgot how many lines on a cubic surface?

It’s grace for the elect

I agree but sometimes they wear aspects of their etymology on their sleeve

I think I’ve seen a caption for this image but I can’t remember what it said

I want spelling to be a little bit more durable and less of a snapshot of the exact phonology of my own mouth

I’m replacing some ə with i, moving some syllable boundaries to morpheme boundaries, making “family” 3 syllables, replacing some weak vowels with “underlying” vowels (like the first letter of “advance”), using more uur (like in “sure”), things like that

Okay I’m doing this but I think the change will be minor in most cases. Really what I’m doing is aiming for spelling to reflect phonemics a little more deeply. It should be more accommodating of others’ accents but that’s not the main reason

A lot of use of the sidewalk/gymnastics meme on both sides

But also generally not being bothered writing vowels that don’t usually get pronounced

This would mainly be reflected in vowels. One of the biggest changes would be differentiating weak /ɪ/ and weak /ə/

Mainly just to so people can write without knowing exactly how I say things

I think rook script needs to be less phonetic in spelling. I’m insanely proud of how phonetic the script is—I think there’s scope to use it as a pronunciation guide—but I think spelling should do more to reflect etymology

I wish I had some advice. This all sounds profoundly uncomfortable and I wish you peace

Sorry I read your post in the exact cadence of the opening to Seventeen Years. The last line before the guitar comes in is “No disrespect, but that’s how I am”

No disrespect, but that’s how I am

In this house we believe in prego, Bitte, and пожалуйста

Not if the ai is mainly used to delegate liability. I think the analogy would work better if the war crimes were negligent like most car accidents

It’s like flags, they can communicate affinity with other countries or some kind of national virtue or founding myth but they don’t have to. Mostly they try to look impressive and “like a passport”

I have a friend who frequently laments the lack of “mould”. He says “Can has could, will has would, shall has should. Why doesn’t may get one?” He says Russian has mould and it’s not fair

googling different letters because i'm bored and nothing fucking matters to me

Surely the line at the car wash has died down a bit by now

The words of ancients are recited in vain in flashing lights on tablet screens and your concern is the vessel used to convey them? Snakeroot could be writing in the tongue of angels and his hubris would be damnable

Lettering unreadable and also uninspired. You hate to see it

It’s a loaf
