    I used to have this legume conversation with people all the time. I'm sure people enjoy my conversations, right? Right? Wait, where are you going?

    I don't eat it much, but if I do, I'd like it to be smoother than a smooth thing on smooth day, and also just peanuts.

    I have some false teeth on a palette, and crunchy peanut butter is one of the worst things I can have for getting stray shards of hard underneath it.

    This combo of high quality peanut butter in super smooth form seems to be quite hard to get here in the British United Kingdom of England. We don't have much of a culture around peanut butter at all. Though I do remember Sun Pat adverts on TV a couple of decades before the turn of the century.

    Firstly, how?! My mind boggles at how a person can juggle this many books and stay invested in them all. Bravo if it works for you, crikey.

    Secondly, Dragonlance! If you end up enjoying the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy, I think that Dragonlance Legends, with Time/War/Test are even better. Though I have not read them in an age. I have shelves full of Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms novels.

    Bobiverse, book 4 "Heaven's River"

    I wasn't totally sold in the middle of volume 1, but as I've gotten to know the personalities involved, I'm invested. Book 4 is really I think Bobiverse Act 2. I look forward to going to bed to read this every night.

    Even that question was answered by AI. It's AI all the way down. If the machines ever cotton on that we recognise their em-dash style and stop using it, we're sunk.

    Zero knowledge would be the least worst option. There's all kinds logged against your identity with this one, seems to me. At least from the description given above. I agree it's better than eleventyhundred sites all wanting facial scans and government photo id uploaded to $deity knows where. But zero knowledge systems have to be the way.

    At least that /would/ be true, if the intentions were, as stated, for age proofs. But whilst that is always the stated intention, with a side helping of "for the children", the implementations clearly betray the real meaning behind all this legislation, and it sure as grain ain't for keeping kids safe online.

    yes. It does both in my experience. IOW if the song is on SPTY, it's eligible for inclusion in one of their AI DJ sessions. Bah.
