Important update in the coping-sphere

A photo of me looking enterprisingly at a cookie the size of my face. I'm holding it close to my face for scale and it's absolutely lousy with milk and dark chocolate chunks and bits of coarse sugar and sea salt.

I am pleased to report it tastes exactly how it looks

And your about town adventures are always such a treat! I really want to move back 🥲

But this job would have been in Sweden, close to my sister and nephew, so perhaps I will never be satisfied!

I really appreciate all the work you're doing on this. From a "benefit to humanity" standpoint, but also from a "person who works at a university and LOATHES AI and likes having a stack of references for people" standpoint.
