Dessert was a banana cake with truffle gelato, but I really don't like truffle in desserts, so that didn't work at all for me. The chocolate crinkle cookie was great, though, and I had a lovely new-to-me Amaro della Sacra with dessert. It was very cardamom-y and I loved it! 8/8

Those are all over Europe too, and I've seen some in Toronto and Boston. I love it - feels like the kind of spot that sees its role as being a third space, and does what makes that work well.

Widowed 6 times is impressive. My dad dated a woman who was twice widowed and my sister wanted to stage an intervention, sure she was out to kill him for the insurance money.

I worked with a NINE-uh. Messed me up for all the Neen-ahs that came after. Also had a neighbor who was a MEE-gan spelled Megan.

To a certain extent this sort of thing can be avoided with appropriate prompt construction, such as telling the AI to supply sources and other context construction. But the companies do a piss poor job of guiding people in how to create good prompts, and without that it's often anti-helpful

Ex's dad slowed down by the last one and they had a good number of years together. We think it was just that in his generation, you couldn't just shack up/have sex. Didn't feel respectable if he wasn't married, so he just kept doing it.

We lost track of how many times my ex-FIL was married. Somewhere between 5-7, including to the same woman twice.
