Something similar for me. I did 4 years, I had fun making things, doing research, etc. The one thoughtful thing I got was unfortunately also just junk (3D printed model).

I prefer gift giving when it's with people I know and see, when I know they'll use or otherwise appreciate what I give them. Been doing a lot of handcrafted stuff, homemade food, and event gifts.

For receiving: especially in the last 7 years or so, I don't want to get purchased gifts.

    Ellison's office says it's asking the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission not to approve the deal unless Xcel and Google can prove its electronic service agreement "is reasonable, consistent with the public interest, or meeting the stringent requirements of the applicable law."

    State law requires "all costs attributable to the utility's very large customers" be charged to those customers, but Ellison's office alleges the utility has not provided proof that Google subsidiary Echo Zone, LLC, will cover all costs during the service agreement's term.

    Ellison's office says Xcel also hasn't confirmed if "customers will be protected from paying for stranded costs if Google reduces its demand or leaves Xcel's system," which would also be in violation of state law. They also allege a lack of transparency, noting the utility provider "has redacted almost all of the dollar amounts of these potential impacts, however, and has not provided specific explanations for some of its redactions."

    Xcel says the deal provides more than $1 billion in savings for taxpayers. Ellison's office says its assessment actually puts a $1.1 billion in net costs to customers.

    My favourite thing to do with Al is to have the kids create their main characters, some outline of a plot and have Al write the bedtime story.

    Frank Carlson interesting idea. I'll have to check that out. Which model do you like best for that?

    I've been doing it for about a year now on ChatGPT. I reply to the same thread and stories are getting much better based on our feedback. The kids love giving the machine feedback on it's writing, lol! Have fun!
