I have concepts of a plan
Got involved with the Taliban

I didn't watch the debate, but I would've if I'd known it was a rap battle.

Hey! This guy doesn't know about the three seashells!

I think it's just a desire to indicate some uncertainty about something (like - I'm not an expert, my opinion on whatever could change with time or new information). A full stop seems arrogant somehow.

I realise it's not a good impulse and mostly resist. Mostly ...

(that last one's nothing to do with the above reasoning, it's just a line from Aliens that's stuck in my head).

Maybe she wouldn't have said anything at all when it was Biden. Felt much more likely when Harris became the candidate, but - between them - Vance and Trump provoked her enough for it to be an inevitability.

"Don't have anything monetary, per se" - I can relate.

Very late reply - the 'app' at the moment is just a PWA, so it requires a manual check

Oh man, I remember seeing this ages ago and then I could never find it again (I was searching for 'Darth Vader being passive / aggressive' I think). So now I've found it! (but the sacrifice was too great - RIP James Earl Jones)

You can set a gif's FPS yeah. There's an app called gif.ski that lets you play around with this - add a folder full of PNGs to it and render a gif. The lowest the UI lets you select for FPS is 1 - I made one and stuck it here so you can see what that looks like.

You can use the same tool on the command line if you want a half frame per second rate, e.g.:
gifski --output interesting.gif --fps 0.5 --quality 70 *.png

97% is good - it's the ratio of upvotes you give vs downvotes. I think it mostly serves to prevent things like someone downvoting every post/comment of someone they've disagreed with - it would lower their 'attitude' and after a certain threshold, their downvotes would stop being registered.

(the opposite of 'attitude' is 'reputation' which is the ratio of upvotes to downvotes that other people give you)

Wanting to end all text communications with ellipses ...

This is why I always say 'thanks' to GPT when we've finished chatting.

I've climbed that! In Assassin's Creed I mean. I've also killed a lot of people.
