Is there a good US English guide on spelling, punctuation and grammar that isn't hidden behind a paywall or only available in book form

I just want to have an authoritative source I can go to when I want to find out whether and em-dash gets spaces or not for my job

Guitar chords are a lot like questionnaires in that everyone constantly does them wrong and I should be the only person who is allowed to write them

schratze,
@schratze@todon.nl avatar

I don't mean a chord you play on a guitar, but one of those websites that come up if you websearch for "[song title] chords" or a page in a book that tells you when to play which chord

If the English language distinguishes these two things, I am not aware how

I thought I had finally found a practical application for chatgpt: turning a brief message containing dates and times for band rehearsals for next month into calendar entries.

However, in the time it took me to go to the website, open the website in Chromium because they broke it for firefox, copy my login data over, write the prompt, copy the text, import it into my calendar, realize that chatgpt created events for 2023 instead of 2024 even though the days of the week were included, and go through the last couple of steps again, I could also have created the calendar entries manually.

"average person has 14 alts" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person only has one account. channer Georg, who lives in cave & has 10000 alts, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Can Mike Portnoy stick to the same beat for more than two bars just once

schratze,
@schratze@todon.nl avatar

Variation is only cool if there's an established pattern you're deviating from

schratze,
@schratze@todon.nl avatar

If every bar you play is different from the previous one, then no pattern is established. Everything is chaos. Everything is the same

I suppose this is the type of music that gets better the more you listen to it

Also. How the hell did they record these drums. It straight up sounds like a drum machine. This is a drum machine, isn't it??

Were e-drums a thing in the early nineties?

schratze,
@schratze@todon.nl avatar

The drums on Falling Into Infinity sound like actual drums, played extremely well. And the band is not afraid of actually structuring their songs instead of jerking all around. As a result, even just twenty minutes in, the album fucks a lot harder than the previous three

@monsoonrains it's okay if you season it well and bake it in the oven, but even then, it tastes like mostly nothing with a faint hint of pee

I would be very surprised if Sam Bankman-Fried served more than a few weeks in prison before his sentence got commuted to house arrest that he will use to spin up the next billion dollar tech scam
