Then it isn’t a filler. I never said I don’t swear, but have greatly reduced it. One effect of reduced swearing is that when swears are used, they have more punch.

I’m not sure why you’re so invested in debating that people who habitually swear won’t insert swears into unrelated thoughts, but the only support I offer is to listen to someone who habitually swears speak. I don’t want to sound like that, so I make the effort not to.

My choice on how I speak and type doesn’t impose anything on you.

I don’t recall saying every use of a swear is a filler word.

Delightful.

I have made a conscious effort to reduce swearing, which has brought my swearing down to near zero, both online and in real life conversation.

I have found that it streamlines the ability to make a point. A lot of swearing is simply thrown in out of habit, and if you remove it, all you do is make your point more clear without losing anything of substance.

I think for many people swearing is a “filler word” in the same way that “umm” can be. I have also worked hard to reduce my other filler word use. My goal with both of these is better articulation.

The next effect is that swearing is normally viewed as an extreme use of language for an extreme situation, and when you don’t constantly swear the times that you do actually conveys how notable the situation is.

The domain was always for me to archive the things I enjoyed.

Just a phone camera. A little older. I keep the lens clean and take about a 1000 pictures and pick out the best few

Basically every episode of Columbo. The mystery isn’t the crime, but how he’s going to solve it.

On the other side of the spike wall in an inner moat. I presume the inner spikes help trap people and creates a kill zone. Also arranging spikes in an X pattern is simple to produce.

No, but it was a good suggestion. I had a whole cache of photos to sort through, and just happened to get to the armor before I saw the comment.

Focused.

I went to Pamela’s Diner and it was super underwhelming.

It was a little bit underwhelming. It was clear the lion’s share of money went the the U.S. Civil War displays, which were decent. From there onward the displays decreased in quality and size. It was obvious this was an overgrown Civil War museum that was trying to cover all eras. The display cards in Civil War exhibits were often lengthy and thorough, but by the modern era there was maybe a single sentence for most items.

The supposed modern displays were showing stuff from 2005 at the latest, and there were small mistakes or mistake-by-implication in the display cards.

I actually laughed when I noticed it in person.

I tried to go to the Andy Warhol museum as well todau, but there was some sort of sportball event happening which just devastated the parking situation.

The Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

The entire experience was alright, though a bit underwhelming. The strength in the displays was their US Civil War content, which was understandably focused on highlighting Pennsylvania’s contributions.

After the Civil War, everything between then and modern conflicts all had much more compact displays comparatively. I’m currently sorting through photos. The lighting in the museum created a lot of reflections that made taking good photos a challenge.

Thinkin’ 'bout them beans.
