I counted 336 baseball hats in Paris over the summer. These are the teams of choice, plus one absolutely disgusting sighting.
My favorite thing on the Internet are French business owners who post passive aggressive replies to Google Maps reviews.
And I think I just found the champion in a nutritional fitness store in the 15th.

"Knock, knock."
"Who's there."

"@GeminiApp who?"

A year ago I wrote a review of @MentavaInc and why I decided not to continue my subscription.
Well, now I'm back, and I've given it another go with my now 4 y/o daughter. It's one of the best additions (maybe "the" best) to her early education.
I tried to teach my 3 yr. old to read with @MentavaInc. I'm a fan, but I cancelled after the trial.

All-in-all, though, I'm grateful it's around and understand this would be much more difficult (for my daughter and for her parents) if it wasn't.

"Okay Google, what's this song?"
"Colourway"
"Who sings it?"
"Colourway"
"What's the name of the song?"
"Colourway"
"By whom?"
"Colourway"

I don't want them to fail, but between this and the "if we just capture 1% of the market" comment… This really feels like big tech employees start a company without knowing what a company is supposed to do (create value for customers).
In case you're wondering why they don't share the "aggressive" email in an article all about it… It's because it's maybe the tamest I've ever seen.
