You're assuming a lot of self awareness here

I really hope that the MCU Musk still built Grok and insists it's every bit as smart as Jarvis or Vision actually, you're just prompting it wrong

Musk hates Stark too, but only because Stark beat him to market with the evil AI robot that tried to take over the world

Tony Stark canonically knows Musk, so there's a good chance Musk was vaporised in Infinity War and Stark just didn't bother to bring him back in Endgame. Unless he appears again I consider this canon.

Imagine if they'd adapted it in 2007 — they'd be doing a big budget remake now and people would still be online saying "stop trying to take something old and remake it thinking it's going to be successful again" about *this*

Oh, yes, I see what happened. I figured we were talking at cross purposes but couldn't work out how.

I think where I'm ending up is: "[fodder] [position indicator]" is valid, but you have to be careful with it, and I can't think of a case that's definitely fine that can't be trivially rephrased

I don't agree on the order there — "Labour leader" is often accepted for L because L (like Starmer) is the leader of Labour. "Leader labour" for L doesn't make sense, I think. That's the structure "rally first" is going for — the first of rally in the same way a web browser is a browser of the web

I'd argue that "rally first" is a noun-noun phrase, so adjective rules don't apply. The first noun always modifies the second — "pencil lead" and "lead pencil" mean different things. Not sure where I stand on allowing "rally first" for R, but I do think it's meaningfully different from "first rally"

This checks out from my experience — a couple of jobs ago I saw a static website made entirely in React and I fully believe it was because the original dev didn't know you could make a website without starting from create-react-app. *So much* extra engineering, just to make a slightly worse product

They also need to do something more to break up the title, because "your party county durham launch" is a needlessly difficult phrase to parse correctly first go even if you know what all the parts mean on their own

I worked it out, though — they're launching Durham as the go-to party county

It's in the bottom 1 for sure

To be fair I don't think I'd want to fuck to an album of my own music, I'd probably just be thinking about all the little mistakes in it
