Paying for Kagi Ultimate. Never going back to "free" search engines.

Vegans gave us the Impossible Burger, which I'll eat instead of regular burgers when available. What might anti-car people trigger as a positive?

Someone paid a chef to make a fancy pizza, then told his friend "look what I made!"

The author's message would've landed if he demonstrated human authorship. Like this blog post [0] attaching a notebook page or my own [1] video proof.
