I was speaking to @paulphilp.com last weekend about some code editing challenges I have been having with AI, and he suggested I try t3.chat by @t3.gg - Holy crap, I love this tool! Access to the best AI models for $8/m. Thought it was worth sharing with the rest of you geeks.

Sweet! Make sure you go on a smaller vessel. There are quantity limitations so the larger ones donβt disembark. They just drive past and wave. Smaller ones can offer a couple expeditions a day to different locations. See if you can find one where you get to take a swim at deception island. :)

Every time I try to look anything up in regards to first party mode for Google attributions, I get a lot of info about consent mode. I understanding that these two are related, but theyβre not the same thing. Consent mode being about user privacy, first party mode being about accurate data.

SEMs: 'Weird. I havenβt seen any issues. Please leave me alone.
