That makes total sense to me especially given GIF is an acronym of Graphics Interchange Format, but its inventor prefers the soft 'g', like "gem"...

I'll wrap the chicken in foil for the first half of the cook next time to avoid scorching the rub, but the wild sumac tasted fantastic! Tangy, tart, kind of lemon-like, really delicious. 🍽️🍜

Thank you. It was a beautiful service, with lots of people in attendance, and I got to hear about the parts of her life I never knew. (I find it a bit sad that you never get to find out these neat things about people you know while they are still alive.)

It's been an emotional day farewelling a workfriend who died tragically during Matariki weekend. Life can be so unfair.

If you're talking about the same service I was at, it was a beautiful send-off for a lovely, passionate, enthusiastic, young, intelligent colleague who will be much missed. Life can be so unfair.

I once worked in an office with terrible morale. To address this problem, Management announced that we were getting a puppy. The puppy was coming at the end of the month. There was a contest to name the puppy. When the puppy arrived, it was a plushie that you had to go into the boss's office to hug
