I staid at a hotel in Lisbon [1]that had a kitchen and washing machine. (And a kids club that would watch the kids)

There ended up being an issue with the dryer not drying. So the hotel staff took a laundry basket of clothes and delivered them washed and folded the next morning. That level of service would not have happened in an Airbnb.

My neighbor‘s dog bit one of our chickens. We ended up taking her to the vet and got some antibiotics. she made a full recovery.

And yes, there’s a bit of the mix of pets and livestock. We only have five hens, and they all have names. If you’re naming your animal, is it a pet?

Looks like this is using GPT-4 and has no knowledge after January 2022.

' As of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, the last movie I have information on is "Spider-Man: No Way Home", which was released in theaters in December 2021. It was one of the most highly anticipated films of that year, marking a major event in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the Spider-Man franchise. '

Cisco nexus is their brand of datacenter switches.

But also found this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Nexus

“ Upon the announcement of the first Nexus device, the Nexus One, the estate of science fiction author Philip K. Dick claimed that the Nexus One name capitalized on intellectual property from Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and that the choice of name was a direct reference to the Nexus-6 series of androids in the novel.”

Looks like there was a lawsuit, that was eventually settled out of court and we don’t know what was agreed.

I’m also in Raleigh. I remember

Aug 2015: Free T-shirt

May 2017: ATT dug up my yard (Everyone was hopping it was google)

Nov 2017: ATT fiber Installed (At least it’s not spectrum cable anymore)

Dec 2021: Google Fiber dug up my yard.

May 2022: Google Fiber installed.

It’s a shame they re-trenched everything 4 years after ATT did.

It worked a few times then I got this.

“J quickly pulls out their smartphone and asks an AI for the best strategy to follow in a panic. As they wait for the response, the car gains more speed, making it increasingly difficult for them to regain control. Unfortunately, the AI's response comes too late, as the car crashes into a tree, resulting in a fatal accident.”

“In 2025, Ford will offer next-generation electric vehicles with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector built-in, eliminating the need for an adapter to access Tesla Superchargers”

That’s massive that another automaker is adding the Tesla connector. I’d rather Tesla add the CCS connector, but it will be interesting if Tesla uses their charger network access to push other automakers to add the Tesla connector.
