Controversial opinion, but I think “Bard” is a more elegant brand than “Bing Powered by ChatGPT” (assuming that’s what Microsoft settles on) bloomberg.com/news/articles/ via

I was disappointed to find the Mexican one is mild, but also concerned that the Egyptian installment was made “extra hot” because someone googled the temperature in Egypt??

I was given a collection of “hot sauces from around the world” for Christmas, and I love it, but it’s from a company in Illinois and honestly not sure how much research they did.
For starters, I don’t think buffalo sauce is from the Wild West.
Chipotle…from Ancient Greece??

I recently had to buy some tarps (to cover our bicycles) and found that tarps are surprisingly expensive.
Then I saw the neighbor had an even larger tarp and said, “Whooeee, betcha that tarp didn’t come cheap.” This is who I am now. I discuss tarps.

It makes you wonder if you’ll still be able to identify the Apple aesthetic in a few years. Or will it just be the same as it is now.

This is wild. Apple’s head of industrial design used to be the biggest rock star at the company. Now Apple is going to eliminate the role.

Honestly, my use case for Twitter is:
1. Tweet something
2. Forget about it
3. See it on Timehop years later and think, “That was a good one, king.”
So it’s still working pretty well for me.

Honestly a bit of a shock, given the British like to make EVERYTHING plural. But I think this is the right call.

If you leave Dear Evan Hansen at intermission, it’s an exhilarating story about a nerdy kid who becomes popular, gets the girl and turns into an internet sensation.
If you stay till the end, he loses all those things and takes a job at Pottery Barn.
Do with this what you will.

Okay, I think what happened was they converted a pound into a kilogram and then accidentally used the kilogram number to convert into ounces.
Easy mistake, but how many school kids are now walking around thinking a pound is 16.014 ounces? We’ll never make it to Mars like this
