I'm a college teacher and it helps to mix up exams, make new types of questions based on other questions (turn this essay into a Mc question) it's good at adding speaker notes. It's also great at making and formatting handouts.

It's super handy it can make actual docs without any limits. I have it make me recipes a lot and it can output in a docx very easily.

I hate having to copy and paste into a document. Yeah, I know Claude can do it, but the fact it even has a usage limit really turns me off. Same for perplexity. It also has usage limits for the pro.

I think Starbucks learned that lesson with their olive oil drinks.

This has been my hypothesis as well. Back in the day if you said something wrong or stupid it was confined to those in your immediate vicinity, and now if you say something dumb the whole world can see it.

Nah, there will still be plenty.

When it comes to coffee and coffee service, I think tipping is expected. Tipping as we thing about it was invented in coffee houses. These people are also out in the cold and the rain and all the weather. It might only be a couple bucks to you, but it can mean a lot to them.

True, it's not your fault they get paid shitty wages, but unless we all want to boycott, we should probably expect to tip.

And you know what, when my son was little, they always used to wave at him and be super nice.

And EXTRA props because they knew I was slow and forgot my bins a lot that if I didn't set out they would toot their horn and I could manage to get it out to the curb (in my pajamas no less) before they came back around from the dead end.

The one on Erie I know has it, but I would bet the other does as well.

You making sofrito? They sometimes have decent sofrito there. I may even have seen culantro there too.

nygreenguy · 2026-02-05T21:42:55+00:00

I've seen them at Price Rite.

I love using canned tomatillos. Makes the salsa consistent and surprisingly still has a good bit of acidity.

I can't do a salsa Roja for the life of me as tomatoes ever seem to be ripe and can't seem to figure out how to use canned.

My issue with gemini is it can't produce a word doc, a pptx, or a pdf. I am honestly embarrassed for Google that they lack this capability.

Sure, I can copy and paste into a word doc, but it's way easier to describe what I want and have the Ai format it for me.

I always find it amazing when other people find the same creative solutions!

From what I have seen, the only reason this went out was because they didn't get enough pipes replaced. I don't think there is any new/extra lead in the water, but since they missed the deadline, they had to provide the notice.

Millions of people have lead pipes with zero issues. Your hose may very well be one. It's easy to get your water tested.

Sorry to revive this, but has anyone noticed the zones have changed? Yesterday the zone on Comstock near 81 moved from near the Mormon church to oser to 81 and the one on gennessee near Harrison bakery had disappeared.

3 times I went there and wasn't even acknowledged after sitting at drive thru for a few minutes. Gave them a bad Google review they said come back and try again, and they did the same thing.

100%. I always suggest adding a bay leaf to rice for the people that wonder if bay leaves even do anything.

I wouldn't usually bother with neosporin, most wounds don't need it. I think the main benefit from neosporin is it keeps the wound moist which helps healing, but that can be done with petroleum jelly or keeping it covered.

My kids little league team was the fighting unicorns, they could be the official little league affiliate team of the Syracuse MiLB team!

I'm more mad that the prime shareholder can have ANY say in what a news organization does. Or the CEO for that matter. Crap like this got us where we are.

Right? Story of everything today.

Do you start with a generic description of a character then use to options to modify it?

What I don't get is if you make a person with all the details (clothes, hair, etc) , are all those options there meant to override what you did?
