I don’t know why people are surprised. They had a different version of this feature, “Activity History” in Windows 10. This is the same thing but they added “AI” to it.

Yeah I don't buy it, that's clearly a 1930's OMGWTFBBQ.

I’ve never heard someone conflating caret and carrot before, but I’ll be calling these carrot from now on. That’s so funny.

Birmingham! They're not even from Maryland then, what a sham. 😅

I have to ask. When I hear Maryland I think of a biscuit brand. Is Maryland known for chocolate chip biscuits or is the biscuit brand completely unrelated?

Oooh, right! I didn't know that was a place, my only reference to Maryland is a brand of biscuits. Thank you!

Right now I only have an inside. My balcony gets morning sun, but not for very long. :(

I'm not sure what MD is, my brain just thinks "markdown" or medicine doctor. I hope your heartburn is doing better now!

Thanks you for the tips, I actually didn't know they were perennial. That said, I think they just aren't too fond of the climate here. I'd need a greenhouse (and space outdoors) or a heating mat and a decent sun light. I tried with chilies the other year, and even got a few fruits, but they were small and never ripened. The plant really struggled. To be fair, the plant was an experiment from the get-go. I germinated it from seeds I got in a cheapo chili flake jar from Lidl so I didn't have huge expectations to begin with.

Yeah, that echoes my experience here in Sweden. I guess the reason we use so much rotted fish in our cuisine is because we had no other way to introduce stronger flavours. 😭

I struggle so hard with peppers. Jalapeños growing like weeds sounds like a dream.

Yeah I definitely get that. I also get why people don't like Biden. He really oughtn't be president, neither of them ought be candidates, but when the option is between him and Trump, going with Biden is a no-brainer. Trump is literally working to dismantle democracy. He doesn't want people to have a choice, and the choice that you Americans face is laughable as it is.

Yeah. We have an ongoing thing between Tesla and IF Metall, with a bunch of other unions backing them up. Tesla refuses to sign collective labour agreements, and they're penalising strikers by taking away stocks they've earned. It's hardly surprising that Tesla doesn't want to adhere to the Swedish model.

We don't have a minimum wage in Sweden. Wages are mostly dictated by negotiations between employers and unions.

Unions are important.

Let’s be real, they START by executing prisoners Pretty soon anything but their political party & their religion is made illegal so anyone daring to say otherwise gets arrested / imprisoned / executed.

I mean they openly spoke about this on CPAC. Project 2025 sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it's not a theory, it's right out there in the open.
