Google keyboard before they went all in on machine learning for spelling and grammar. It was freaky good at correction, then immediately fell off a cliff. It still replaces my son's name, which I type multiple times a day, with a less common name even when I type it correctly. I've removed the wrong name from the dictionary but no dice, still gets it wrong.

I bought a fancy US made spatula for my grill. They make a smaller cheaper one that I added on impulse. That little guy is a champ and gets 5x the use of the big fancy one.

Rail is laid at a "neutral temperature" calculated from the min and max temperatures of an area. They want the rail to not pull apart in the cold or buckle in the heat. If average temperatures go up that calculated neutral temperature goes up so rail laid at a lower neutral temperature are more likely to buckle.

Yeah but golf isn't a sport.

My app only says "dicot" so now that's what I call all plants.

The alternative is the death of NPR so yeah.

Bang bang bang

The weird shit helps. Just trimmed she still causes damage, soft paws she doesn't.

Someone took their wingerprint

When my cat was a kitten, I played with her paws and claws regularly to get her used to it. After a few weeks of that I had no problem clipping her nails. I don't think she likes it but she tolerates it and gets loves when we're done.

I also glue "soft paws" to her claws because she loves to destroy carpets and furniture despite the cat trees and our efforts to deter her.

Something bitter and not too sweet, whatever they have. At home I make bourbon and soda with a splash of orange bitters or change it up with a different spirit.

I like bitter and don't really like sweet. Adding club soda makes the drink stretch farther and reduces dehydration. If I order drinks neat I drink them too fast, drink too many, and end up paying for it with my wallet and my headache.

I would say that never goes away, but when the decisions change from "house or food" to "camper or boat" etc.

Your mind compensates for the teal which makes the white look red.

I'm gonna go the other way. The only marketing I acknowledge is factual reporting of design features that make a product suitable for the intended task. Anything else is dishonest and manipulative.

Think of Chris Cooper's character from Interstate 50. Any marketing claim must be specific, measurable, verifiable, and accurate.

If other animals don't have chins, they're using a weird definition of chin.

I use pocket app to save online recipes I like for later use. It is searchable and a separate list than my bookmarks which I like.

That is an interesting idea that is not typically considered in the drake equation as far as I know. That could significantly reduce the chance of finding intelligent life elsewhere.

I got pretty good at pulling sql data together from multiple tables using joins at a prior job, but no job before or since had data that easily accessible.
