Correct.
What I’ve observed though is that many people are very envious of this.

I have since worked with some people I consider to be real geniuses. What marks them out is an ability to grasp, immediately, the many facets of a problem and a gift for explaining it simply. /3

I was admitted, but never had a bed for six days. Just a trolley in treatment room. And then I was discharged. Is there a column for me?

The LLM says yes. After calling me sceptic.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.
