What does it mean that so very many people have absolutely no idea what sarcasm is?
I'm pretty diligent about not accepting new AI apps that Android wants to offer me. And I guarantee I have not knowingly enabled a service to transcribe private conversations.
And then you also get free sites that look like this. The model really isn't working. Not for revenue, not for civic conversation. But you know that.
O is not a 0, who uses curly brackets in a phone number? And copyright "company"? Honestly I think they're strategically placing clues to filter out folks who aren't going to fall for the scam, even if they make it past the first gate.
I have been seeing more of these renewal notices lately. They are graciously willing to help with refunds or cancellations but when you call them, they'll need your bank info to "process the refund" or maybe just to troubleshoot the issue. There are a few clear tells here -- parentheses around the phone number exchange, the letter O, sender's gmail address, product name, but if you miss them you're exactly who they're phishing for.
We have one artichoke plant that grows pretty normal artichokes. They're purple this year, which I don't recall from last year. And then we have two from a neighbor, that are gorgeous plants but the artichokes look crazy. Like pineapple or something. Very curious whether they're edible.
The Henna Artist I read in two days while restless with flu. It was lovely and cozy and probably unrealistic but whatever. A young woman decides to make her own way in the world. It's hard, but she's got a unique skill.
Cutting for Stone, I remember less well but last night when I plucked it from my stack I realized I'd read it before. A complicated story of pregnant nuns and divided loyalty with a crash course on fistula repair.
