As always, in any book you read about Yugoslavia, including encyclopedias, it is impossible not to find a picture of the old city of Dubrovnik in Croatia. One of the most beautiful places in the Balkans. One day I will go there, for sure.

Oof. #Britannica renamed its article about *that* gulf into “Gulf of Mexico / Gulf of America”.

With #AI and #bots taking over, more and more, when I research for my #webcasts, #podcast, and family history, I think I need to invest in a complete set of (physical books) #Encyclopedias.

2010 is the last "version" of 32 books.

BTW, on the #Encyclopedia Britannica's homepage, they, prominently, have a "Ask the Chat Bot" link 🙄
