I'll take a trip by train or plane rather than by car every single time. I feel WAY more safe knowing that the vehicle is operated by trained professionals and there's an extremely robust system around them to ensure safety, rathe

"Wrong" is a concept that clearly applies when something is objectively wrong. I asked ChatGPT for help with Wordle the other day, by asking for a 5-letter word that contained P, M, K and Y. It said: > Yes, the word skimp conta
