Always plagiarizing from myself by looking up old projects to see how to make a thing a global instance reference. I will never remember how to do this, but I wouldn't trade it for vibe coding any day.

Looking up how long it will take to drive to the doctor tomorrow and it's somewhere between 55 minutes and 1 hour 50 minutes. I think Google mixed up their maps and their weather apps
