ate about half a jar of old, found in the back of the fridge, sliced green olives when I was about six, only to barf it all up over night.
i could not eat olives for many, many years.

and in minutes that same LLM will spit out incorrect slop that slows down Medicaid experts that could have been spent on coming up with those options themselves.

if the process matched on for the Hassan appearance, then Jubilee interviewed the fascist guest, and agreed this was a good contestant. this means Jubilee doesn't understand the principle of no tolerance of intolerance.

what's the solution? what do you propose as an alternative if Canada decides on principle - one that Canada itself has a checkered history of living up to - to shun the U.S. market?

$25K is less than a rounding error and in the category of 'it costs what it costs,' to a corporation that size.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters β€” the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. β€” are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

if i'm recalling properly, Raleigh hit 8 as a LHH, took his time out, and then hit 7 as a righty, then hit a couple more as a lefty in the first round bonus pitches.

yeah, file #10,672 that the BC Conservatives aren't sending top notch talent to Victoria. perhaps with a dash of, i'm guessing, misidentification as a federally-elected rep. by a low quality production.
dangerous rhetoric, nonetheless.

thanks for the chat, Karen. it's a huge issue with so many component pieces, all made much worse by Trump using it as a cudgel. i appreciate your knowledge and ability to navigate through those components.
