    I wanna know who did the financing for the ad. A tinfoil company? Big Tough Softy Iron? A Goog guy worn off yoga?

    (I aim to not say the fifthglyph for all days to promote [email protected])

      It’s an ad in your post, fittingly (although yours isn’t particularly ironic).

      Do you know of oulipo.social? No fifth symbols found on all of that domain.

        (btw i wanted to somehow word in “at least once per day”, but found using “per”, “every”, “for each” etc challenging to translate)

          “I might try to put up a (compliant) post a day for a half-fortnight”?
