I got one of those CO2 meters everyone is talking about and was horrified to learn that the CO2 levels in my home and office are fine and that I cannot easily boost my intellectual abilities by opening a window. Stuck with coffee for now.

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

in the spirit of using math words in day to day speech (orthogonal, Hermitian 😅), let's use arbitrary as the opposite of random

You object to Danaher's use of "arbitrary" (rules), saying that these are not random. But arbitrary is the very opposite of random, it is something done by choice. @zachweinersmith.bsky.social is learning french, how does one day Free Will? Libre Arbitre
