I hate AI . It doesn't live up to its hype and is a sorry excuse for expertise

Pardon the language, but I had to bitch slap Perplexity today

Asked what type of bowl was best for making bread and it went off on a discussion of flour

Responded with - try reading the question first. It apologized.

Tried my chemistry skills in the kitchen today, baking Ciabatta bread from scratch for the first time. Very happy with the result.

Now go away, it's all mine!

LOL, Wow, couldn't believe how expensive D batteries were, so I explored lower cost options, i.e. rechargeable. Discovered that in the US, there are no D or C batteries. They literally package smaller batteries (3 AA = D; 3 AAA =C) in a larger case. Found these holders that do the same w/o packaging

I am just over the moon. Sunday, for the 1st time in my life of limited cooking, I made bread from scratch, dough to loaf. Decided on Ciabatta bread cause it looked manageable. Was good but lacked Ciabatta's large air pockets. Otherwise, I and apparently my husband was pleased. This ensued

Bless my old heart! Tripped over this new reggae release of classic rock covers. Been singing all afternoon and loving it.

I just love bread, beyond belief; but I am all talk. My better half finally nailed my feet to the ground and challenged me to bake some from scratch. I decided on Ciabatta (Yum). This is it my first time ever. Not perfect, but for a first time, over the moon. Ciao!

A huge fan of Greek and Roman mythology and literature, found this Medusa bauble and didn't know what to do with it.

My husband, Ray aka - my better half, just made this for me adding the blood red stone and accompanying it with an earring.

Christmas has come early. 🥰

Bless you, From Chloé and I

Saw this at the local flea market. Just jumped in my hands and wouldn't leave. Putting in my office!

$10, which is two cups of large (my usual order) coffee at San Francisco 2025 prices. A deal at twice the price!

Kid you not! Kaiser Permanente developed & tested a robotic "doctor" to visit patients in their hospital instead of encumbering their doctors to do followup.

It was scrapped after being revealed, it - not the doctor, was sent in to tell a patient his condition was terminal with limited time left.

A recent convert from Apple iOS to Android in phones. Can't believe how much better everything is. Been showing off custom keyboard skills with a friend and generate this. My apologies to the Black Community and anyone who takes offense. Just laughing too hard to keep it secret.

Fell down a rabbit hole!!! Believe in action & activism, hoping for a better, kinder America,but missing out on the diversity and joys in Bsky.

Saved by my wonder-pup, Chloé, retooling my feed to get more joy: Roman history, Photography, Music, Literature, laughs, and more. Happy to be here.
