We are completely opposite in changing them. You do them weekly? I do them about every 3, 4 years?

Says

Code: Select all

It could be that it’s too big - 1.7MB in this case. However, I used to attach images all the time without much thought given to size. And they just have to be smaller than Smithers’ memes.

I think this started a month or two ago, for me.

That's because it had excellent creators! Thanks! Though I only weight 150 pounds at 5'7" and I think I look much heavier than that.

The one detail that Grok did on its own which I did not specify was extending your Yankees cap in the back into a wizard hat. That is a very non-human thing to do, keeping both the regular brim *and* making it a wizard hat. Hilarious. I love it.

Yes. That was quite good and creative.

As for your weight, I didn’t use a photo of you or anything. I just gave Grok a basic description based on the t-shirt.

Today it is filled with computer equipment. But in the days before monitors .... each day when I'd leave my office there would be absolutely nothing on my table / desk.

First thing I'd do is put my Compaq portable (28 pounds) computer on it and then only had the paper on it that I was actively using.

Always liked to start with a totally clean slate each day with nothing out of place.
