This practice is really a banana republic practice. It’s like handing out cash in party flyers in corrupted banana republics.

The new o1-preview model gave me much better and more precise answers than the 4o model.

Not necessarily. In Canada, an independent advisory board reviews applications and provides a shortlist of candidates. The Prime Minister selects a nominee from this list. The nominee may participate in a public hearing before being officially appointed.

That is why it has not been a partisan issue so far.

Understandable. As others said, they have a demographic decline.

WAS should be the correct verb tense. He saw it was useless as it would split the vote with Trump and now he is behind Trump. He’s trying to get his name off the ballot so he doesn’t hurt Trump’s chances of winning.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Everything is expensive now, housing, food, etc. How can you raise children in this era?

Outside of North America, same-store sales slid 7%. In China, Starbucks’ second-largest market, same-store sales tumbled 14% as both average ticket and transactions shrank. Starbucks has faced stiffer competition in China from local coffee shops that undercut the coffee giant on price.

And that is the problem. Starbucks is not offering anything that doesn’t already exist. It pretends to be a coffee shop for the upper class because it sounds “sophisticated” to say grande instead of medium.

I no longer go there. I know local coffee shops that offer a much better selection of coffees at a good price. And their atmosphere is authentic.

I assume you are North American, look for small ethnic food shops. You will find better food at a cheaper price.

It is clearer. What I learned at work is to write documents in high school language so that everyone can understand them.

Sound advice. During my first year of computer science, one of my professors told me that programming languages are just a tool to solve a problem. The logic to solve it is the key. Whether it’s Java, Python, Go, etc. If you don’t know how to tell the computer what to do, you can’t program anything in any language.

What in the actual f*&%:

According to park officials, the man, who was with three friends, climbed out of his vehicle and walked towards the animals to take photos.

So tourists think that they are domesticated animals?! They’re not dogs. Respect nature.

Unfortunately, the US will never change. This rabid individualism and savage capitalism is too ingrained in the country’s psyche for it to change.
