I was never really that fond of any kind of cranberry sauce. It was just something I ate when I was served it because it was there. It's tolerable, but I can't say I ever really enjoyed having it that much, and I've never chosen to buy it for myself.

Congratulations! Now you can say you have a Pullet Surprise!

The large language models fraudulently advertised as "artificial intelligence" have some limited uses, but most of the uses they're promoted for are grossly beyond their capabilities. And as long as they rely on plagiarism and devastate the environment, they cannot be used ethically.

Spell check just assists you at doing the work, like unning shoes or a pedometer. It's not something that does the work for you, and that does it by stealing thousands of other people's work.

Though it seems to me that spell check gets more wrong than right. It should never be trusted implicitly.

Nobody's born an expert wordsmith. It takes years of effort and practice to get good at anything, and you can't do that if you depend on a machine to do it for you.

I assume someone started a meme riffing on titles like YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN and IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN, substituting other familiar phrases.

I wonder if it's also that, in his decades as a New York City real estate mogul, he got in the habit of thinking it's in his best interest to make nice with the Mayor of New York City.

Also, we *are* bags of mostly water, though I leave the aesthetic judgment to the individual.

The science is reasonably good, as you'd expect from early TNG. Except that terraforming would realistically need centuries or millennia.

Also, it treats silicon life as unprecedented, ignoring "The Devil in the Dark." Early TNG tended to ignore TOS, except when it didn't.

I'd say unintended consequences are the most inevitable thing in any war.
