We got a loaf of fancy brioche bread yesterday. It's very good! For some reason, they decided to put the quote "Let them eat brioche" on the side of the package though. I'm not sure they understand the context of that quote.

@LoganDice That brings up an interesting question: What differentiates machine learning from evolutionary algorithms?

A lot of sports seem to just be "hit the thing back and forth until you get a point". Volleyball, tennis, badminton. Probably quite a few more we can't think of or don't know the name of.

We saw a car with a temporary license plate with the number 1488 in it and it's thoroughly soured Felthry's mood. I think it's only the fact that it was a temporary plate (which we're mostly sure you can't get custom numbers on) that kept it from causing a real anxiety spike or even panic attack.
