I think Swiss Air is saying you can smoke in the toilets, but only if you don’t get caught?

In case of emergency, please present your yellow-tinted wine glass to have an entire bottle of wine poured directly into it.

I’ve lived in California a long time, but I’ve never got used to the fact that hummingbirds aren’t just on TV nature documentaries, but also “a few feet over there”

It does look surprisingly tasty:
DALL-E's rendition of a scotch chocolate egg. "A creative fusion dish featuring a Cadbury scotch egg with a thick, golden-brown sausage meat crust that is perfectly browned and textured. The interior reveals a glossy Cadbury creme egg with a chocolate shell and a gooey yellow fondant center resembling a yolk. The scotch egg is placed on a rustic wooden platter, garnished with fresh herbs and a light drizzle of chocolate sauce, creating an unexpected blend of savory and sweet. The presentation is enhanced by warm, inviting lighting, making the unique culinary concept visually appealing."

ChatGPT first warned me about creating an image of such a thing, seeming to think a recipe might be better?!
a ChatGPT reply saying "Creating an image of a Cadbury scotch egg with real sausage meat might produce a visually unconventional combination since it mixes savory and sweet elements in a single dish. Would you like me to generate an artistic representation of this concept, or perhaps describe a recipe for such a creation instead?"

Thoroughly enjoyed my first ride on a new electric Caltrain! Though slightly alarmed to see a Chrome error message that's not been shipping since 2015! I hope the systems running your infoscreens aren't connected to anything important, @gocaltrain.bsky.social ...
