You don't know what you ask, traveler. My strongest potions would kill a dragon, let alone a man.

Interestingly, a short bit later in the video, the usage feels reversed: My potions are fit for a beast, let alone a man.

I don't think that interpretation, i. e. the absent genitals, is canon.

I mean, loops just became available, and I have seen two videos of this user in a time span of 30 minutes. Given that the videos have a certain production value (they're edited, there is music, proper lighting etc.) these videos were made by someone that was already doing this before loops and is now simply expanding their outreach to a new platform, so I would expect the content to be similar - whatever has worked for them previously, they're testing the waters without investing additional effort to adapt to a potentially different target audience.

Maybe loops will be different and the userbase will over time express a completely different taste in content, maybe not.

As I see it, I get to experience new forms of content, hopefully without the negative connotations that TikTok brought along, which I never got into.

Do I need to watch someone glue a condom to their shoes and surround their feet with fries for push a lame word pun to 11? Probably not. But I'm sure there will be different things, too.

Yes, that is absolutely correct.

I do in fact use unrefined, brown cane sugar, although I have not tried panela specifically.

The one I use pretty much looks like this:

It's an organic fair trade brand, but I'd have to look up where it is imported from.

As I said, I can't imagine making it with any other kind of sugar any more. Sorghum seems like an interesting idea, might have to experiment with that.

You're not alone.

The key to amazing banana bread is to make it with soft, brown sugar. The stuff that is clumpy, glistening with moisture, reminiscent of molasses. It adds so much to the flavor. And actual nuts, of course.

Plots are typical composed, and when writing a paper (I insert them mostly into TeX publications) I do find the quality of the resulting plot is just so much more refined.

Seaborn is indeed closer and was definitely inspired by ggplot2 in some areas, but IMHO, it's still not 100% there visually. I'm very much a Python user and would love it to be, but when I'm, let's say, publishing a book, I'd always go back to ggplot2 - when preparing a paper for a lab class, seaborn is probably fine.

Or they have the same issue as me, their phone keyboard randomly inserting periods all the time. I manually remove them most of the time, but when I'm agitated, I sometimes can't be bothered.

This happens with several apps, e. g. https://www.reddit.com/r/Swiftkey/comments/wylng4/random_periods/

I didn't particularly want to link to reddit, but I wasn't able to quickly find e. g. an issue tracker.

You'll get used to it and it will only take a couple of minutes. And I honestly believe nothing comes close to ggplot2 in terms of quality, and I don't use R for anything else.

You were not kidding, this is seriously great. Completely new territory for me, but the excerpts won me over.
