The much underrated chicken wing is, when compared to the glorious beef steak, a solid choice when you just have an airfrier and a limited budget. Heck, unless you have an expert behind the grill, the choock wing is always a solid choice.

I’ve been playing with OpenAI’s GPT3 recently. It’s an awesome tool for writing, but it’s not always fit for purpose. I recently asked it to come up with some ideas for a paper my daughter had to write; some of the completions it came up with were - ahem - shockingly inappropriate. In other cases it is very useful.

Stipe Miocic needs a haircut. But I won’t be the one telling him that.
What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years.

While I’m great at the job, it lacks the creativity and problem solving that my brain craves. Without it, I am bored don’t feel engaged at work.

The Ever Given being stuck in the Suez Canal is a massive metaphor for how so many people are feeling right now: weighed down, stuck in between where they are and where they want to go and desperately hoping for help digging themselves out. ://

I miss Africa more and more. Not the politics. Not fearing for your life every living second. I miss the people, the culture, the food. Living on this red rock just isn’t the same. Nostalgia, what are you doing to me?
