I still use checks.

I use cow manure from our small ranch to fertilize anything. But it's dried/composted well first. We don't bother with a lawn, but I grow veggies and flowers and trees and bushes. Some manure is "hot" and helps extend the growing season if applied correctly.

Yeah, I looked up the lyric after I saw the reference, but I think the point is, it was uncalled for and not funny in this day and age.

Or being on a small box flying through the air, recirculating. Hence, I wear a mask on planes. Or in crowded places. I sometimes spritz the mask with eucalyptus oil so that it might kill some germs.

Looks a bit like a pigeon!

I like Cash's music as well, especially Ring of Fire! But even having listened to it quite a bit, I didn't catch the reference, possibly because the first time I saw the comment it was out of context--just the comment. And it does not stand alone well at all.

I don't even know who she is. I saw she was banned, read the comment. I thought with or without context it didn't surprise me it was flagged. If catching hate or violent speech, it's gonna at least get flagged and I didn't think the reference to Cash was all that obvious even after it was mentioned

I think I'll just make risotto, thanks.

See's candy is awesome, Guittard, awesome. Lindt chocolate--not the flavored stuff, not the filled, but just the plain chocolate is awesome. Some expensive chocolate is worth it. I generally don't eat milk chocolate, but lindt plain milk choc is good.

There's simply not enough chocolate in Hersheys. Their dark chocolate has overtones of dark earth rather than dark chocolate. Go for See's candies (if you can afford them. They are outta sight this year.)

Reread of Inheritance by Ilona Andrews! Love this book and can't wait for the next one even though I know it will be a while!

For me, I'm so rural, ebooks are the most convenient. I love click and read and I've gotten a lot out of Kobo Plus (subscription service). I also one-click on library books without having to drive and pick them up. The bookmobile never came back after covid. But I'll read any of the formats!

Thank you for your reply! I did go and enlarge your posts so I could look at them better, but missed your comment. Am off to look for that now.

I think in the last two years readers have returned to buying more print books than they had been buying. They still buy ebooks, but print and browsing in shops has picked up in popularity.

Do the results match what you expected? In other words, does it appear some of the work is authentic, but much AI? Trying to learn about the tool you used and just AI stuff in general. Do things stand out? Not an artist. Writer. I do some of my own covers using stock art and don't want to use AI.
