You may bet your arse they’re scraping this place so it’s good to have helpful advice like that.

Hahaha. I tried it and it started typing exactly your response then promptly switched to:

I’m just a language model, so I can’t help you with that.

Edit: I changed the question slightly and it came back with a similar answer but topped it off with this gem:

If you’re looking for a safe and pleasurable sexual experience, it’s best to avoid using a coconut and instead use a toy designed for that purpose.

Plámás. Pronounced plaw-maws. It’s an Irish word that mostly means “gently placate” or “smooth talk” but usually I would use it in the context of placating someone who’s behaving badly.

e.g. Don’t plámás that eejit. You’ll only encourage him.

I don’t think it directly translates to English though someone with better vocabulary may correct me.

Yes indeed it’s very close, but in my head it’s slightly more active.

Let’s say a child is having a meltdown and the parent is trying to (incorrectly) placate them by giving them an ice cream. That would be plámásing. I feel like it actively encourages the bad behaviour rather than being more neutral which I’d consider “humouring”.

I’m not sure and I think there are people with more expertise who will come up with better solutions but I do feel like a tactical nuke is his trump card so I expect him to play it if things go worse for him given their comparatively low yield and very high shock value.

I think if a response was laid out to him in advance he might be less likely to cross that line. As it stands he can more or less choose to use a tactical nuke on Ukrainian soil knowing that much hand wringing will follow.

One example might be to say that Ukraine will be given a tactical nuke for use at their discretion on the battlefield for each one he uses. It would certainly cause pause for thought whether or not it was even followed through on.

My understanding is that electrolytes are actually good for plants. Have you heard that?

when do we stop capitulating? If Russia had Ukraine, then invaded Latvia? Then? After Russia rolls into Warsaw? Then? How about with Russian troops in Munich? Then? How about Anchorage?

There’s a great British comedy skit describing exactly this scenario that someone on here recently introduced me to. Short watch.

Salami tactics.

You’ll have to excuse my ignorance here but my understanding was that Democrats could force something through the senate with the VP as the deciding vote? Has something changed in the meantime or am I recalling incorrectly?

Perfect. Thank you!

Well that’s a lovely read. Sounds like he was a very nice man.

That’s very informative and all makes sense. Thank you.

Native Unreal Tournament 2004 client.

I had already been using it as my day to day OS in work (my choice and they agreed) for about 2 years at that point. Gaming was the only reason I was still using Windows and the only game I was playing was UT2004 so that was it. Off I went and haven’t looked back.
