@thewondthewhy Hi! And welcome!
@bunnylyn Ooh, it's like an adorable, sun-drenched, upholstered little kitty jail cell.
I know Old Farts of Awoo dot Space isn't a competition, but FYI I've got reading glasses in that overhead car compartment where your sunglasses go.
@candle@witches.town Try too a search for "hypocoristicon" and "hypocorism".
@meena@witches.town @GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town @plsburydoughboy @maloki Maybe some poor soul accidentally touched boost while looking at it, then immediately unboosted. (Not me in this case, but I've been there.)
@tomharris I abandoned OmniFocus b/c of periodic upgrade costs. Liking cli app TaskWarrior very much on a single machine, but syncing (especially w iOS) appears to be a Byzantine project I haven't even tried yet.
@fireh9lly If you're listing, a post-50s example (iirc) is "Madness" by Madness.
@gamehawk There's this "PSSSHHH!" element that seems to speak directly to her spinal cord.
My sneezes must sound like sudden, explosive hissing to our cat Lyla, because they scare the living crap out of her.
@candle@witches.town Supposedly that's where "ain't" comes from: a corruption of the missing 1st-person "(I) amn't".
Sex: sex
Gex: gex

@fireh9lly Sounds silly, but cold water can bridge that gap for me for a while. (Not crazy endurance-testing cold. Just whatever counts as yummy cold.)
Thing I procrastinated now doesn't have to get done at all. H*ckin
~AWOOOOO~
@jk @plsburydoughboy @Gargron So this is the first I've learned of Big Eli except talk about HPMOR, but reading his Wikipedia entry about teaching machines to default to human-friendly behaviors, I'm reminded of our dog trainer: she basically helped us teach our doggo that, when he's mixed up & doesn't know what to do, sitting is always a rewarding default action.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
@vahnj Based on my history with accidentally pouring orange juice in my cereal:
* Grape Nuts (real & generic): delicious
* Apple Jacks: gross
* Frosted Mini Wheats: really gross
* Honey Nut Cheerios (generic): surprisingly tasty!
