Nevermind. It was Covid. Exercise did not happen.

[Joel @gryphtor]

Forget feed a cold, starve a fever--or is it the other way around, I can never remember anyway--how much exercise is advisable when you're fighting a cold?

Last week I went to Texas — ground 0 for the bird flu spreading across the U.S. — to buy raw milk and test it for the flu.

Apparently fries are massively profitable, and onion rings would cut into sales of fries. Onion rings are less efficient, would generate less profit per item, and would steal profit from fries.

instead of AI doing all this dumb stuff, can it be a function on my phone's camera app where it automatically removes the shadow of my phone when I'm trying to take a picture of papers or photos on a flat surface?
