And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I once went to a salon that obviously only existed for money laundering. Pretty big space with multiple chairs but only one woman working there (and her dog) and no clients. Open at odd hours. Clearly not making enough money to stay open but it did.

I think most big city neighborhoods have at least one of these. Where I used to live in Brooklyn it was a Mexican restaurant that everyone knew not to go into for food. (If you, a newbie to the neighborhood, strolled in and tried to order something, they might serve you but it was VERY obvious they weren't expecting anyone to treat this establishment like a real restaurant.)

I was in an AI training session this morning and the tool we were using for the session was aggressively Ted Lasso themed. Sadly there was no option to switch the agentic personality from Coach Lasso to Coach Kent (or Chilton).

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

This week's onerous tasks completed! Tuesday, root canal. Wednesday, optometrist. Today, 'flu and Covid (Pfizer) immunizations.

Therefore I am treating myself to Chinese takeout for lunch today.
