Interesting that em dash is searchable in the RH blog and how little it appears until recently. He’s text-doping and has been for years.

I haven’t read the Herse blog in years. Some of his articles have like 40 em dashes — who writes like that?

I have naturally used em dashes since high school and am salty that now they are seen as a shibboleth for ai writing

same. i am very mad about this. you can’t take my em dashes.

that said, if you looked at MY writing history you wouldn’t see em dashes start when chatGPT started. you’d see them used steadily since i started seriously writing.

ems are definitely addictive. To me the tell-tale sign of AI text online is copious use of lists. If those are combined with in-line emojis, then that’s even more certainty.

Don’t we remove half the tyre from rim, pour sealant into tyre like you’re pouring one out for the homies, seat tyre back on, inflate?

I’m not going to say that I fill through the valve and have never had a problem, because if I did that, and if I said I did, it would immediately clog the next time. So I’m not going to say that.

But if I did, it would be a lot easier than reseating half a tire.

I’ve tried adding a light coat of grease to the valve, I’ll report back if this works

Been using the Schraeder valves that Jones sells, and they seem to be less prone to clogging.
