She smiles in wonder and runs out of the theater.

And Ford goes on to say, yes, describe it like that and it sounds trivial. But seen in person, it was amazing.

(This was on a much smaller scale.) The actress playing Ariel did it shrouded all in black, but manipulating a white Noh mask on a stick. When Prospero frees Ariel, he takes the black shroud off and the audience see the actress' actual face for the first time.

It worked as well as any other "man x," which is why I was really glad to have some examples to work from <g>.

Yeah, Track Changes was a game-changer for group projects.

It still amazes me that MS hasn't introduced that functionality to Word (or they have, but only if you do something incredibly convoluted as opposed to just hitting F3 (IIRC)).

Flashbacks to the joy of learning nroff by looking at someone else's formatted documents and seeing what worked.

"Manual? Manual?! This is UNIX, son...you just gotta *know*!"

Hey, it's gotten him this far.

It's all about what you get for the money, and how easy it is to find that out. Like, I have to pay more taxes but I get decent roads, mass transit that will get me to and from work, and universal health care? Sign me up!

Hey, when you know you're going to have to take your belt & shoes off and empty your pockets, why would you dress up?

It's also ageist, though that's not the immediate concern. The vast majority of people 50 and up are (or would be, if they had decent health care) on at least one prescription daily med.

That, and seeing pieces of whale appear on RFK's plate.

I wonder if that came from "Not my circus, not my monkeys."

Bad enough when it happens in the Senate (and yeah, I understand the arguments against term limits there, but still).

And unlike LLMs, Wikipedia cites its sources.

(Seriously, having seen a coworker use LLM searches it drives me up the wall that you can't link any piece of information in the summary to its source(s).)
