Late August, Google invited me to start using Bard (for Local Guides) as I sometimes write reviews. I ignored their invitation.

Apparently, the brain has been looking, throughout Evolution, for the most suitable candidate. This also implies that the brain will not stop looking for an even better suited...
Since the end of March, many countries apply summertime, a human invention. Some countries do not apply summertime (eg, Kenya). Our notion of time is directly related to the period that planet Earth needs for orbiting the Sun (ie, 365,256 days). Hence, any other planet must have a different notion of Time. Recently, I noticed an intriguing statement in a Nautilus...
