It’s as if it immediately realized the lameness of “asstractive” and tried to save the joke with an extra punchline—which I didn’t get.

This is a new low.

Try to take my comments about your behaviour seriously. You really haven’t absorbed it at all.

That’s how I read it too. You were asked to justify what you said and instead of answering you assumed a posture of superior knowledge to completely d...

:cool:

One of the finest ass milks.

Now use that as your profile pic.

Ask @"Noble Dust". He gets all of his flame-grilled goat from a boutique goat emporium in the Lower Upper Village.

Someone has to carry the flaming goat I guess.

As the only member with a caprine profile picture, you would say that.

Ah, a savoury scone, looks like. I’d munch that with avidity.

The fuck?

Good to see you lose your cool for once. God damn you Hanover. I had my chicken curry and it was good.

Well, I’m not sure how we ended up just exchanging worldviews rather than arguing about something substantial, but I did find that quite interesting, ...

Breakfast: Chicken leg and coffee, the classic Lunch: Chicken soup, homemade Dinner: Going to the local Indian restaurant, where I may have a chicken ...

I won’t address the metaphysical issue—and it’s highly debatable in Nietzsche scholarship how significant that issue is—but I thought I’d step in to q...

I agree that you can’t separate us from the world, because we’re part of it, but I don’t agree with what I take you to really mean, viz., that humans ...

Yep, I’m interpreting “decide”, “choose”, and “because we say so” loosely, to refer to things that humans agree on whether consciously or implicitly b...

This would explain the reaction of “wow, so money doesn’t exist!” when someone realizes it’s conventional. But I’m not convinced. Specifically, by the...

My interpretation: neither of them quite got to the bottom of the error. GPT3.5’s answer was better, but GPT4’s answer was more imaginative, though mo...

I don’t have any great objection to that view, and it’s also consistent with my post. In fact, I used the word “additionally” specifically to imply it...

On the other hand, in a sense we do decide, through the market, to put prices on them, i.e., they do not have prices purely by virtue of their use to ...

France.

Indeed. I really have to try it myself soon.

Impressive. Imagine you started without a clear notion of the formal similarity, just an intuition that there might be one. Could GPT4 help you to dev...

Yikes. So what I'm wondering is what goes into OpenAI's... I'm imagining the equivalent of hard-coded hacks. And though it's conceivable that the mode...

Fascinating, thanks for sharing. I have not yet used ChatGPT (it can't be accessed where I live), and I don't know much about how it works, so forgive...

This information will stand me in good stead, so thanks. But while I do like apples, I'm more of a donkey guy. Indeed, things have changed since the h...

Preparation for Kazakhstan: Alma-Ata: A Guide to Soviet Modernist Architecture 1955-1991 by Anna Bronovitskaya and Nikolay Malinin.

One of the Five Pillars of Islam is the shahada: “there is no god but God ”. I think you can find statements to similar effect in both old and new tes...

That’s what TC said.

Does it mean the same as, “it’s … interesting”?

Is this the claim that is being made in the reviews or in the book itself? Or in this thread, even?

Yes and no. I’ll be in Almaty for a while next month. I imagine they do it there. Certainly they put cardamom in tea.

I think you have a very Western chefy, European conception of food. There is no “wrecking of the palate” and it’s not all about “nuance”. It’s about d...

I spent too long on the Internet to establish what I already suspected: there is usually cardamom in korma. I searched in English and also in Hindi an...

That’s the bread-maker look. But it was, as he would say, a meatball. Meatballs ordinary and extraordinary are all meatballs. That’s the lesson. Good ...

Actually I’ve changed my mind and I’m not sceptical any more, because I remembered hearing that what makes Indian food so delicious is the combination...

Point taken. Cumin and cardamom together in a creamy sauce :yum: Cumin and cardamom together not in a creamy sauce :vomit: I remain sceptical.

It was an Israeli breakfast today. Shakshouka, falafel, flatbread, hummuses, you get the picture. Then it was a walk in the park. Spring was in the ai...

:lol: @"L'éléphant"

I am doing battle with the elephant for possession of your culinary soul.

I had a look around, thinking that Wilde might have been influenced by Nietzsche. In fact, they were contemporaries and probably didn’t know of each o...

Yes, I apologize for my lack of specificity. Garam masala always seems to contain both spices. Here is a picture. https://www.daringgourmet.com/wp-con...

My guess is all curries use both cumin and cardamom. I don’t see the problem with combining them. Not too much cardamom, but excessive amounts of cumi...

Good boy Fred. Thanks yes, but I’m not expecting everyone on TPF to adjust their posting behaviour just because I have a page load problem. I curse yo...

Ok, found a working VPN. 15 seconds.

You’re doing my head in with all these videos. 40 seconds for the page to load.

To be fair to Fred, he develops his disgust into a proto-Freudian explanation for the antipathy for the body that we see in most philosophers througho...
