Last night I read a document about my 5th Great Grandfather, Holiday Haithcock, born around 1750, who fought in the American Revolution and his initial application to receive a pension as a veteran was denied, even though fellow soliders that fought with him served as witnesses during a pension hearing.
This comment struck me from one of the witnesses that was sent to Washington DC:
"On examining the case of Holliday Hethcock of N.C. for pension under act of June 7, 1832, we find that his services and identity are fully proven by three witnesses, and that his case has been suspended merely because he was a free man of color. As we understand that several cases of this sort have been admitted, you will oblige us by having it admitted."
His family eventually received his pension.
AI Business Plan Generator showed up when I was poking around for ways to turn a half-baked idea into something I could actually work with, so I opened it on a whim. I didn’t go deep and generate a full plan, but the page made sense fast. I liked how it calls out that “generic AI chat” trap where you keep re-prompting and the draft turns into this long, messy blob you still have to organize yourself. It’s explained in a pretty down-to-earth way, not like a lecture. The whole layout feels like it’s nudging you forward instead of drowning you in paragraphs, and the main actions are easy to spot without screaming at you. The “endless prompting cycle” part…
Mình trước giờ xem mấy dự đoán chủ yếu để giải trí, chứ xổ số thì vẫn là chuyện may rủi nên không dám đặt niềm tin tuyệt đối. Dù vậy, khi biết chọn lọc thì cũng đỡ bị ngợp, nhất là lúc có quá nhiều kiểu luận nghe cái nào cũng có lý. Có thời gian mình thử ghi chép vài kỳ theo soi cầu mb xem có “hợp vía” không, kết quả thì cũng bấp bênh thôi, trúng trật xen kẽ. Nhưng nhờ vậy mình tập được thói quen giữ kỳ vọng vừa phải, không bị cuốn theo cảm xúc mỗi lần gần ra số. Thường mình chỉ xem vài cặp thấy ổn rồi dừng, coi như thư…
