Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, am I the only one who looks at my spam and wishes I had this many interesting real correspondents? They have such cool names, the spammers. Only when you open the emails, it's all about Viagra, or stocks.

I can't remember how long ago we had this conversation here, but there was some argument that the threshold for what's considered AI has been moved over the years.

Happy birthday Katie M !

Happy Birthday Katie.
I am in such a brain fog I can barely function. How am I supposed to get work done?

You go to church, they put the ashes on your forehead.
I just saw that Jesse. It made me go "Whaaa?"
ETA: Is the board been slow for anyone else lately?
Around here, today is Finding Out Who Of Your Coworkers Is An Observant Catholic Day.
In other holiday-related news, I noticed that a local Dunkin Donuts was advertising "Paczki Donuts" with a sign explaining what they were. I guess in case they had people wondering why their jelly donuts seemed weird.
