Given how the world is heating up and weather is getting more extreme, I think there has to be space for player welfare. That doesn't mean there aren't options for how to implement…

I think hydration breaks can be defensible as long as they are a) conditionally triggered by pre-existing criteria that is b) created by an honest assessment of player welfare inde…

I have slender mountain mint and it used to be a popular pollinator spot... until I planted figwort. Never had anything get action like the figwort!

I wrote a novella with epigraphs at the beginning of the chapters. Every epigraph was flagged as AI-generated likely because they were written as curt, clipped statements of fact a…

> What was gained? I don't really see anything... I don't see how you changed anything... From an outcome-orientation, no, nothing has changed. But then why write a letter to my re…

I'll admit it cannot be proven to the standard of criminal conviction, but I don't think it's beyond a person's or technology's ability to identify enough "tells" to make a solid c…

There is no "maybe", it is at least largely AI-generated though I'm sure there's a human involved in building the perspective. Run it through any checker you can find, the outcome …

This piece seems logical and correct. It also seems entirely AI-generated, but I suppose we've moved into a world where that's just the way content is now.

"The rat is always right." - B.F. Skinner. When the rat presses a lever, don't blame the rat. This is super reductionist of course, but I always keep it in mind.

In my view: the lack of engagement with the historical record. This topic - and the meaning and expected outcomes of the wording for the amendment - were discussed and debated as p…

The other commenter is spot-on. A blu-ray player is a computer decoding a compressed file on the fly as it sends the image to the TV, rather than just a passive pipe for digital bi…

I believe you. I also do not, and have never, experienced this. I've been using Pixel phones since the 3a in 2019/2020.

I've used Firefox across devices, across the years. This just isn't my experience, at all, remotely. And I have had to use Chrome (now it is Edge) for many work functions, so I do …

I would MAYBE watch a video on this topic if it were 4-6 minutes. 44 minutes? Is that really a better use of your time?

Which leaves us with plenty of time to take a stroll in our drought-stricken nearby park. What fun we'll have reading the placards of all of the species that used to exist in the n…

Most uses of the word "Luddite" - and I'd venture to guess this one included - don't refer to the original aims of Luddites but the modern connotation of maximally pejorative "anti…
