This snack is sold in a resealable pack, so you can just take a little mouthful and then put it back in your pantry.
I’m embarrassed to say that I haven’t tried that feature

You know about "word clouds", right?

they show the most common words in a text

This is the *inverse*

it shows the most common English words that *don't* appear in "Pride and Prejudice"

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Ok. Fair warning. Imma talk about "late term abortion" in the next few posts.
