I think the key phrase here is, "an obscure small town." There may only be a single mention of this place, hence the only one on which a response can be based. This says more about the user's understanding of LLMs than it doe

I tend to despise senders that believe email is always an effective real-time channel. Delays happen for all sorts of reasons, ranging from massive outages to scanning incoming emails for spam or malware (my corporate email is sloooow). Gr

We replaced VHS with DVDs. It took 42 years before we gave up on VHS. DVDs have been around for 29 years but were mostly replaced with BDs before disappearing off the shelves in favor of streaming. We replaced records with tapes, tapes with

Why would CGNAT be deployed as a response to IPv6 on mobile? I don't understand the logic there. CGNAT is deployed due to a shortage of publicly routable IPv4 addresses. IPv6 was introduced due to having much larger publicly routable s

It's not that much headache, and this isn't necessarily about public-facing sites and apps. Take file storage: Some folks find Google Drive and similar services unpalatable because they can and will scan your content. Setting up N

I used Free Fill Fillable Forms last year for both federal and state. I honestly don't know why I didn't try them sooner. It sounds daunting, filling out your own returns, but it was quite painless for my situation.

I don't know why this was flagged. It may be wrong, but I think it worth discussing to correct. Not all of Federal law supersedes state law. The Tenth Amendment clarifies: > The powers not delegated to the United States by the Const
