Interesting. Is that the one that starts “Seven Days in Mayhem”…?

One of his masterpieces.

Also fits in to a theory I had when reading a collection of early-to-midlife FS cartoons-- Larson’s decisively best stuff existed in a relatively brief window of ~'88-90. Earlier stuff tended to be clumsy, as he was working out how to best deliver his strips, and later stuff was increasingly (even alarmingly) derivative. Leading him to eventually come to terms with that, and retire the strip early, great as it was.

Not sure if that’s a completely fair opinion to have, just that it was my working conclusion at the time.

I also seem to recall it being arches, FWIW.

You know, one thing I do as a TT (table tennis) exercise is to walk around my place barefoot, almost always on the balls of my feet. It’s incidentally been quite useful for my flat feet. If I was an ancient person I could see myself doing it outdoors, too.

Don’t forget loads of salt!

Like-- every step of the way, fast food places have an opportunity to aim for ‘healthier’ or ‘more delicious’ choices, overwhelmingly with profit-making in mind. That’s the main thing to keep in mind.

IIRC, McD’s and various other chains even design venting and such to get the smell of the cooking food (chemically enhanced) in to the surrounding area. You know, so that more people can pay a fortune to get a food rush that doubles as a health disaster.

Thanks for posting this one!

IMO you’re not being unreasonable, but I think you might want to read up on this one, more.

Joséphine, par exemple…

Thanks, AI slop.

Would it help if I slammed it EXTRA-HARD, my lil’ cutey…?

Huge loss, or… maybe NOT?

(eh, kinda weird how such an adorable series also contains such an overload of toxic, brainless characters, eh?)

Obviously S&G had nothing of the sort, it didnt exist at the time.

Of course it did. Just as I referred to as “manual-tune” in my original comment. George Martin was FAMOUS for that stuff, but I tend to think he wasn’t the first.

Me, I like people who can make brave, interesting points in life, but I also don’t value much people who have no idea WTF they’re talking about, literally without a shred of evidence to back up their nonsense.

Older people (30+)

LOLolol…

“EGN+” is still alive, mon frère, even after 2.5yrs. We always liked your Moebius posts, which is why I kept posting to your community at the time.

I mean, you’re kind of lifting my point in to a broader area that I wasn’t speaking to at the time.

Of course I agree with all that you said. But I was talking strictly in the context of OP’s framework.

You’ve made no real case that it’s used in any significant way upon any significant music I know of.

Used on modern pop? Of course it is. All over the place. Which is like saying that fast food and cold cuts contain a bunch of artificial stuff that enhances shelf life, flavor. We all know that, and most people know that fast food and cold cuts are the very bottom tier of food, despite the brief rush.

You can bet your bippy that Simon & Garfunkel never needed no auto-tune gimmicks to perform “The Sound of Silence.” Altho extra orchestration indeed helped.

Matey, those are some downright life-changing staplers right there. oO

(could have used a couple more at Medway, in any case)

Thank you!
Also thank you, expressed via a nice video–

(“The Avalanches - Since I Left You”)

Fascinating.

Why you ask? Since I’m a mughal myself.

Well, in my first two (admittedly half-learned tongues),
Enchanté y Mucho Gusto. :D

I’ve never known a Mughal person before, so it’s certainly my honor!

But, hmm… you must have quite the interesting ‘growing up and learning’ experience, do you not? Like, IIRC the other place & now this place?

(doxxing concern)

Incredible.
Red-themes usually make me feel a little “on edge,” but somehow this one, it almost feels… illuminating.

So I take it the Mughals were Muslim, with depictions of living creatures being forbidden?

I’m working on something of an article to that effect, but… I also have other things going on, and worry that by the time I’ve hit all the key points and polished 'em up, it will be completely outdated. Obligatory lol.

I guess a couple key points for that general LLM article would be:

• Going in, it’s pretty dang important to understand exactly what a modern LLM is; what it’s strengths and weaknesses are. How they can vary widely in quality and usefulness depending on their engines and platforms you access.
• Just like people who sound extremely sure of themselves, I think it’s geberally helpful to think of LLM’s as highly-opinionated friends who sometimes have the ability to be incredibly incisive and useful on certain matters, but can also be incredibly flawed, even upon very simple stuff.
• Also hugely important based on service involved to get a feel for where they’re most reliable, and where they can be downright disastrous to rely upon.
