ah man it is really great for anything around cooking and gardening or travel if you're into any of that!
A lot of people, including Tucker, have a much stranger relationship with AI than I do I guess. I find it very useful in a very impersonal way.
Yep I did a tour of Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly. One of the most famous haunted places in the US. It is unique for its hub and spoke architecture and Al Capone was kept there for a time.
