Then it isn’t a filler. I never said I don’t swear, but have greatly reduced it. One effect of reduced swearing is that when swears are used, they have more punch.

I’m not sure why you’re so invested in debating that people who habitually swear won’t insert swears into unrelated thoughts, but the only support I offer is to listen to someone who habitually swears speak. I don’t want to sound like that, so I make the effort not to.

My choice on how I speak and type doesn’t impose anything on you.

I don’t recall saying every use of a swear is a filler word.

Delightful.

I have made a conscious effort to reduce swearing, which has brought my swearing down to near zero, both online and in real life conversation.

I have found that it streamlines the ability to make a point. A lot of swearing is simply thrown in out of habit, and if you remove it, all you do is make your point more clear without losing anything of substance.

I think for many people swearing is a “filler word” in the same way that “umm” can be. I have also worked hard to reduce my other filler word use. My goal with both of these is better articulation.

The next effect is that swearing is normally viewed as an extreme use of language for an extreme situation, and when you don’t constantly swear the times that you do actually conveys how notable the situation is.

The domain was always for me to archive the things I enjoyed.

Basically every episode of Columbo. The mystery isn’t the crime, but how he’s going to solve it.

I recently had a cashier call another one over for a purchase issue of mine and referred to me as a “guest”. It felt weird. I was not a guest. I was trying to exchange money for goods and services and leave.

I don’t know what corporate big brain came up with the guest terminology, but it feels weird from every angle.

There is always going to be a divide between people who have done restaurant closings and those that haven’t. Some people who haven’t done it will not see any issue with showing up 10 minutes to closing and ordering everything on the menu. You can’t change their minds.

The last time I was traveling and absolutely had no choice but to go into a Chiplote 20 minutes to closing (it was the only place for miles still open), I made sure to be flexible about only asking for things that hadn’t been put away already. I ended up getting what seemed like quad portions and free chips. Be nice to servers and they are nice to you.

I want to like his videos, but I’ve bounced off because his speech pattern has the energy of a middle schooler receipting his book report in front of the class. I can’t listen to that for extended periods.

The overall story really flailed around as the later seasons went on (IIRC during a writers’ strike is when there was a lot of issues), but ‘33’- the first episode of the first season is so fantastic I still remember it distinctly.

The style, tone, and acting of BSG really kept the show intriguing even if the plot went in circles sometimes.

Okay I hear you, but have we tried speeding up the conveyor belt?

That’s what I thought you meant, I was just trying to confirm, as I sometimes feel a step behind in tech conversions.

It is annoying not to have a button on the UI, but once you learn the hotkey this becomes a non-issue unless I’m missing something? I suppose this is an issue, but for a piece of free software like this it sort of feels like making a mountain out of a molehill.

Ah you’re right. I guess this is 320-M18 model. I was looking at 320-M17s and thinking this looked to small to be that.

Day of the negative 30 degree drop angle soon.

Looks like the [320-M18] model, which comes with a [15] round flush magazine. But mechanically it can take a longer magazine and we can’t see the bottom of it in the picture.
