"...Explolits & Emuilator Setup..." 🤦‍♂️

Sorting through this nonsense week after week is driving me insane... 😔

I spend more time vetting AI-generated books than I do cataloguing real ones onto the site 😡

姉夫婦を福岡空港まで送った際。
昼食は、空港内の金斗雲にて黄雲を。
福岡に来てまで鹿児島の味噌ラーメンでしたが、甥っ子が喜んでいて、とても幸せでした。
本店にも行ったことがあるのですが、空港のもとても美味しかったです。
This is Kagoshima miso ramen that I had at Fukuoka Airport.
I ate it with my sister and her husband when I was dropping them off at the airport.
It's delicious!
