Stay safe, LA folks. Evacuate if you have to. Stay the hell off the roads if you don't. Even if you don't live in an area that has sirens constantly screeching by, the winds are kiiiiinda nuts.

It made so much sense at the time...

I like a good puzzle, so I spent longer than I should have trying to figure out how to get the desired result out of it. I finally just called and talked to a human. If the AI is supposed to free up humans from the rigors of making appointments, it's not working out so well.

I always say AI can be a useful tool if it's used effectively. I'm sure the place I was trying to set up an appointment thought, "It's just an appointment; how hard could it be?" Pretty hard, if the AI hasn't been trained on concepts like "tomorrow," "afternoon" and "tomorrow afternoon".

I got mine right after the orange one's first election. I figured it was a good investment in calming my anxiety. I hope I never have to make a one-way trip over the border, but it makes me feel much better to know I can do it if I have to.

Who wants to tell her that she's almost certainly peed next to a trans woman, not known it and still lived to tell about it?

Oh, let me!

(I allow myself 20 minutes of denial a day.)

Hiya!
