When I have issues with the underarms of my workout shirts coming out still discolored from sweat+deodorant, I like to take a small amount of laundry detergent = just enough to dampen the areas needing extra help.

I’ll go to my local coffee shop if I want a good coffee experience.

My GP is at a big medical center and the medical center coded their own internal AI transciptionist that listens to our conversations. It is sandboxed and only has access to internal systems.
