Believe it or not, one of the two best collards dishes I ever had was at a restaurant in New Hampshire. Sautéed, I reckon, but long enough to be tender and seasoned perfectly. (The other best was at a tiny soul food/bbq place in Savannah.)

Hear, hear. For some reason, the most offensive aspect to me is the AI clutter in my Android's search history. I find it easier to ignore the rest.

The survivors have not identified their abusers. Even if they had, that itself would accomplish nothing in a court of law.

I asked Grok about Grokipedia. Part of the reply: ... Citations stem from an intentional lack of guardrails to promote uncensored access to information, but this has unintended consequences in legitimizing extremist content. ... cross-referencing with diverse, vetted sources remains essential.

. . . but when it's explicitly about drafting a quarterback for an NFL team, Elon Musk has never played organized football, has no tape, no combine numbers, and zero QB experience. I'd take Manning every single time. Leaf would be a distant second, and Elon wouldn't even be on the board.
