I use it like an intern/other team member since the non-profit I work for doesn't have any money to hire more people. Things like:

  • Taking transcripts of meetings and turning them into neat and ordered meeting minutes/summaries, or pulling out any key actions/next steps
  • Putting together objectives and agendas for meetings based on some loose info and ideas I give it
  • Summarise the key points from articles/long documents I don't have tome or patience to read through fully.
  • Making my emails sound more professional/nicer/make up for my brainfarts
  • Giving me ideas on how to format/word slides and documents depending on what tone I want to employ - is it meant for leadership? Other team members?
  • Make my writing more organised/better structured/more professional sounding
  • Writing emails in foreign languages with a professional tone. Caveat is I'm fluent enough in those languages to know if the output sounds right. Before AI I would rely on google translate (meh), dictionaries, language forums, etc and it would take me HOURS to write a simple email using the correct terminology. Also helpful to check grammar and sentence structure in ways that aren't always picked up by Word.
  • I sound more like a robot than an actual robot, so I ask the robot to reword my emails/messages to sound more "human" when the need arises (like a colleague is leaving, had a baby, etc).
  • Bouncing off ideas. This doesn't always work and I know it doesn't actually have an opinion, but it helps get the ball rolling, especially if I'm struggling with procrastination.
  • If my sentences are too long for a document, I ask it to shorten/reword and it's pretty capable of doing that without losing too much of the essence of what I want to get across

Of course I don't just take whatever it spits out and paste it. I read through everything, make sure it still sounds more or less like "me". Sometimes it'll take a couple of prompts to get it to go where I want it, and takes a bit of review and editing but it saves me literal hours. It's not necessarily perfect, but it does the job. I get it's not a panacea, and it's not great for the environment, but this tech is literally saving my sanity right now.

Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I'm feeling fancy/not lazy I'll add some chopped shallots or scallions.

Y'all need to accept at this point conservatives who support Trump do not give a shit. They don't care if they come across as hypocrites. They are not acting in good faith and there are literally no consequences for them. Your only weapon at this point is to vote and crush them so resoundingly in the polls that they realise they are not the new normal and the majority does not respect them.

I'd add a couple of things to that list:

  • Duct tape
  • Rope
  • Burlap bag
  • Shovel
  • Condom

Fuck the polls, go vote.

Pretty sure some of these other religions have a problem with scantily clad women, gay people and drag queens. That you think this was "only against christians" is pretty telling.

Doesn't matter, people who can should go vote.

[-] Foreigner@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

They know they are going to lose.

Never assume, fucking vote if you can people.

Lemon and milk would be the easiest for me. I'm sure I've had those together before, at least in some dessert.

Not a Nokia and I can't find that exact model but it seems there were a couple of weird round phones floating around in the early to mid 2000's:

There were some other weird as hell designs around that period, like the ones in this article:

I recognise all but one of the phones in that link. The time just before smartphones was a weird moment in mobile phone history.

If you haven't already, have you considered installing a few small ramps around the pool for animals to climb out when they fall in? You can find some simple cheap-ish ones on amazon like this one: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hGTaHIS3L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_DpWeblab_.jpg
