also colorado here. just rained where i’m at for first time in a couple weeks, still getting above 30c most days

Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

no i don’t think this is real. all his truth social posts are archived here, and it doesn’t seem to be listed

i like it. helps dilute all the depressing politics in my feed

i think it’s easy to forget that nazis have been in america for a while now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden

i don’t know it feels a little picky for you to only be happy with death or complete societal collapse

collabora doesn’t provide a frontend and isn’t meant to be a standalone document editor. the “ok” is expected behavior and indicates the server is functional. you need a different service that supports collabora integration, such as nextcloud. then you just enter the address of your server and it should work

that’s why i ran every request in a different chat session

i was curious so i tried it with chatgpt. here are the chat links:

• first expansion
• first summary
• second expansion
• second summary
• third expansion
• third summary
• fourth expansion
• fourth summary
• fifth expansion
• fifth summary
• sixth expansion
• sixth summary

overall it didn’t seem too bad. it sort of started focusing on the ecological and astrobiological side of the same topic but didn’t completely drift. to be honest, i think it would have done a lot worse if i made the prompt less specific. if it was just “summarize this text” and “expand on these points” i think chatgpt would get very distracted

correct, but the part shown here is for a transposing instrument. it sounds a fifth lower than it is written. so though it is written as A and E, in concert pitch, these notes are actually D and A

it completely depends on context and interpretation. there isn’t one correct way to play an accent, and you are correct that it doesn’t explicitly mean to play louder. what you’re describing as an accent is kind of like a fortepiano. similarly, what i described as an accent closely aligns with a sfortzando. point is, accents are vague and there isn’t a correct way to play one. more specific styles aren’t necessarily correct, and an interpretation is generally only made unambiguous with notation like the aforementioned fortepianos and sfortzandos

it’s the english horn 5 measures after rehearsal mark 125

the ’ is a breath mark. in this context, it’s indicating a wind player to breathe at that moment. the same meaning applies to vocalists. it can also appear outside winds or vocalists. in such cases, it means to take a slight pause without necessarily altering tempo (usually by shortening the preceding note) the > is an accent. it indicates to play with greater emphasis. how that emphasis comes through depends on the musical context, but it often means playing that note louder or stronger

my parents were understandably pissed because i had deleted at least a few hundred gigabytes of photos and videos from the last decade. iirc i was banned from touching the computer for at least a year, which was funny because i was literally the only one who used it
