My answer of not liking it assumes AI is equivalent to large language models and their variants (and not the expansive definitions of AI that include seemingly any form of predictive statistical modeling or machine learning) or rudimentary things like spell/grammar checkers or less powerful...

On Rex Stout's "The Red Box" on my reread of the Wolfe corpus. Picked up Ann Cleeve's "The Dark Wives" (latest in the Vera Stanhope series) while out post Christmas browsing and will slip that in too.

The OS in the radio show of that name on the BBC World Service stands for Outside Source. (Don't recall them saying what it stood for before, but they said it several times today).

I hadn't gone with the everyday criteria for my original answer... Going by what I eat most IRL it would be a sausage (or bacon), egg, and pepper jack (or cheddar) on jalapeno bagel sandwich. Probably around 150 breakfasts a year for quite a while now. But I think pizza - the thin but not too...

If I get one last meal: pot roast 1st Runner-up: my mom's lasagna recipe Lots of other things I am a huge fan of though and would be my go to choices when out to eat. My son says cheese pizza My other half says blueberries

My dad's (a white elephant gift from a few years back).

As a player, we're a few games past our 52nd session of 5e2024 on Mondays. (I made most but not all of them since it started a bit over a year ago). The party is up to 10th level and has been tracking down the gods being reborn into the world. As a DM, the Tuesday sessions with my son and his...

Rereading the Nero Wolfe corpus again (3rd time through for it, this time in in-universe order) after having gotten samples of some more authors in since last time, and a lot of detective TV shows. Neither "Fer-de-Lance" (1934) nor "The League of Frightened Men" (1935) will come in near the...

Hope the post-posting parts of Christmas went well for everyone too! We had fifteen for Christmas-eve dinner at my dad's - including the three of us staying for a week and a half, four just for dinner, and seven who were here for two nights and just left. Wow is it quiet now!!!! (And wow do we...
