that's a great use case, usually I check them manually, but IF it functions the way it's described it'd be useful

actually THAT part does make sense, I'm pretty sure any one I use with "me" is going to get substituted with my logged-in username, which would be different for you. Not to give them too much credit :/

the results seem wildly inconsistent though

in this example I'd expect to see rah's replies directly to Kate but it looks like it's turning into a `mentions:` search instead?

I mean mole has like 30 ingredients but cinnamon & chocolate is a decent start. maybe the next step would be raisins 🤷🏻‍♂️

huh, didn't know that was popular there. I've heard it as an addition before (even coffee, or fish sauce) but I didn't know what regions it happened in

I think you're somehow thinking of mole

I have surprisingly good luck swearing at AI. It usually causes the AI portion to bail out faster than even figuring out if they'll still give me a "talk to human" button

Well, there is definitely some genocide in this one too, but there's probably at least a good 2000 pages before that 😅

It's kind of broken up across generations (dynasty, go figure) so you could easily stop after book 2 if you wanted to avoid that

But if you liked those you may also like the Dandelion Dynasty series by Ken Liu. Less magic, more silk punk

flags aren't supposed to touch the ground like that, they only do that when they are under extreme stress

clearly the solution is to fill it from the toilet tank instead, that way it's protected from aerosols 🙃
November 17, 2025 at 4:49 PM
but what would it even be, if not a laxative? hash browns, maybe?

I remember during that time the topic of France came up and my grandparents' house, and my vet grandfather chimed in with "they're our enemies, you know"

thanks for that. big help grandpa

normally I'd coil like that and then wrap the bundle at the end, but there was always a lengthy process of shaking out all the extra twists it introduced... garden hoses too. Those and christmas lights are probably the only things I have that are more than a few feet so it doesn't come up much
