I don't think it's OK, but it's semi-understandable given the lawfare undertaken by Democrats after his first term. I would say that despite whatever pardons (which I believe can only be federal, not state?), he pro-actively

You do realise that countries other than the USA exist, right? The UK has had various forms of sports gambling legal for nearly 100 years and society hasn't crumbled and neither did sport.

It does seem to swing a bit from week to week. Somethings do take surprisingly more tokens than others. EG: generate some code vs search the web to find me the best hiking boots for less than £100.

It's not a case of needing a crutch. It's how you value your time. "Shall I spend 30 mins grammar checking this product marketing copy, or shall I get AI to do it while I start work coding a new feature?"

This is a dumb idea by Claude. It's currently a binary switch and doesn't differentiate between "fix the grammar on this paragraph" and two pages of AI Slop. There should at least be some cut off where it applies and whe

Yeah. People are lumping all vaccines together in an attempt to boost the credibility of the COVID vaccine. Unfortunately what it is actually doing is ruining the credibility of all the other vaccines that have been around for years and are

When I went to NZ about 30 years ago, vibe-wise Auckland was like LA and Wellington was like Seattle. Not sure if that comparison still holds.
