This is definitely the name of an English "It Girl" actor who suddenly turns up in everything and when you look into it her father owns Shropshire.

Amazon. Uber. Air-BnB. All represent the use of technology to streamline the customer experience and, bluntly, reduce costs by dodging regulation or taxes. They weren't the PRODUCT. No consumer wants to BUY AI. It's not a product. Billy six-fingers has no value to them until he gets a job.

I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.
