Been there. The Geniuses then lost many important files I thought I had backed up. "Photos", for instance, stores images as part of the app, and thus they are not backed up. O, the tales one can tell. There is a keyboard cover that helps fend off future spills.

AI is such a mixed bag of good and evil. But I want to celebrate this, both for detail and sentiment.

This is what Christmas anticipation does to people. Possibly they even hate Hanukkah coming first. I've noticed lately that delayed gratification is impossible for many people.

They prepared for that exhibition for five years, but it so clearly is a physical illustration of the Golden Road, that I thought you must have conspired in creating it.

Nobody ever lost money (or views) by underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

Unfortunately, this is just what I expect from those M-----F---ers. Please, O please, let them fall out of the ruling class.

Did nobody in your family serve in the military? Your cynicism about the poppy campaign that raises money for veterans is just a bit icky.

So the first one is easy: John Gordon is my name, anno domini 1695.

Let us promote student editing of manuscripts in the Archives and Special Collections. Those are "new" works. The University retains the rights to the original material. The student editing gets the publishing rights. Exciting! And there is rather a lot to edit in the Archives.

If only you had something other than a T-shirt (old woman don't wear no short sleeves). I love it. Nobody knows the translation but us oldies.

The 4-car service was stopped in part because the shed for servicing 4-cars at a time was shut. Just so you know. They are back now, but fewer. There must be a reasons.

Onion problem with verbs 'to be' and 'to have'? This 3rd instance today. Just wondering.

Trump is a tariffable person. He said so.

The article is interesting. It could, however, use an editor.

Still confused about the number. Which is the mistake: the printed one or the verbal one?

Sorry, the original lacked verbs. I'm not good with verbless rants. Sorry to offend your highness.

You should go back on the booze, mate. This is pretty incoherent.

You are the most foul-minded person I can think of, even on the internet. I think a porn channel is in your future.
