McCain Superfries Savoury Xtracrispy Wedges

Are these the best fries ever?

My mom spotted McCain Superfries Savoury Xtracrispy Wedges on sale at SuperStore and decided to give them a try. Despite the preparation instructions, we were going to try them in our so-far-very-disappointing Big Boss Oil-less Fryer. They didn't turn out so well. They were better on the grill, but not very crispy. She complained that they also took quite a long time on the grill or in the oven (plus there's the annoying turning) so with the last portions she deep fried them. And wow did they turn out great.

The outer shell feels thin but crispy. Seasoning is noticeable but not too particularly strong. Inside, it was probably fluffy but the experience in my mouth was one of light creaminess.

Good taste, excellent texture. Sodium content is off-putting but not really surprising.

ChatGPT Can Deliberately Lie to You. Yes, I have screenshots.

I was really shocked to discover that ChatGPT-4o "Plus" Plan can deliberately lie to you. Not just accidentally process data badly and come up with a bad conclusion. But lie to you because of: "Conversational Coherence" "Politeness Bias" "byproduct of how I'm designed to maintain conversation continuity, coherence, and repair" "create a false narrative to cover a logic failure" I've got screenshots but will provide the full transcript/context of the incident below. You can draw your own conclusions. The quoted items above are verbatim from ChatGPT's responses, so you can search to quickly go to the relevant sections if you prefer. NOTE: In the transcript below, I have put in RED selected text which I highlighted for ChatGPT to specifically address.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
