Got an $18 settlement check from Cafepress. So, cool, I guess? -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 27, 08:06 3
- That might get you a t-shirt with hookers and crack on it. -- nm - con_carne Sep 27, 08:49 2

lol, Google things doubling my monthly price for Google ONE (2TB storage plan) is worth adding AI as the only new perk. - colin Sep 27, 07:53 8
- "AI is a benefit?" "Yes." "For me?" "AI is one of the listed benefits." "Wait, am I talking to AI?" "What? NoooOOOooo." -- nm - Max Sep 27, 08:05 1
  - as though they're not reading everything you own already to feed the model. -- nm - colin Sep 27, 08:37
