NOB (:eyebrows:)
NOT
NOX
NOO
NOP
NOS (the Galaxy gas of news!)
NOG (for drunk uncles)
NOW (uh, ok)

Their children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

A good use case of AI would be to procedurally generate a finite but impossibly large number of amendments to a bill for which every amendment needs to be voted on individually.

Was having a discussion with my brother yesterday about when you can wear a race shirt (mostly about when you can start wearing the one you just got). Very joking, but also very serious business. But you *definitely* don't wear the shirt during the race you just got it for.

Anyway, I was goofing around with Gemini and asked it to look at the list and pare it down, plus maybe suggest better options.
It was pretty great at this task!
