What Google Chrome is up for sale? I gotta get in on this. I’ve always wanted to own a browser.

Ok so my best and final offer is 100 Trillion Dollars. I’ll throw in some priceless Ape jpegs as a sweetener.

Ha ha I now have totally destroyed your crap low ball offer Perplexity!

Sadly JS framework marketing+job market melted brains so hard Web devs became like chemists against atoms with semantic HTML enhancing upwards & other web fundamentals thrown out as old fashioned rather than foundational.

Foundation first, fashion second, but fashion we admit helps you get hired.

kea truly are cheeky birds and they’ll even rip your backup or open it up by the zipper to take stuff out. It’s kind of inspiring this guy went after our gear moments later on the Milford Track. The guides warned us, but typical yanks we just had to experience it ourselves.

Have a great time!

Well yeah. 😝

After Casey’s nonsense cheerleading I think will consult this relic from the 1990s I own for giggles and see if people can guess what quote is OpenAi fantasy and what is 1997 fantasy. 🤪
