“Couldn’t we do some kind of sentence constructor, with a limited vocabulary of safe words?”

Before we could give it any serious thought, their own project manager interrupted, “That won’t work. We tried it for KA-Worlds. We spent several weeks building a UI that used pop-downs to construct sentences, and only had completely harmless words – the standard parts of grammar and safe nouns like cars, animals, and objects in the world.

Gratulerar gör man rimligtvis till framgångar eller segrar, och anledningen att gratulera en bemärkelsedag bör vara en temporal framgång, en seger över tiden självt, eller genom tiden. Vad som gratuleras till är vad du åstadkommit sedan bemärkelsen, med avseende på bemärkelsen, som jag ser det: en födelsedag gratuleras man till att man överlevt sedan födseln. Vad gäller din dåblivande hustru, att ni alltjämt är ihop (så vitt jag vet), vad gäller disputationen, att du fortfarande inte blivit galen (så vitt jag kan döma).

I just wish I could start a relationship about 12 years in. When you really don’t have to try any more and you can just sit around together and goof on tv shows and then go to bed without anyone trying any funny business.
