Great point! Also, steel-cut oats can replace grits in dishes such as grits and eggs. An improvement health-wise obviously, but arguably also taste-wise.

Steel cut oats or groats solves this problem.

Because painting those who objected to these definitions of mathematical infinity as "horrified" and "disturbed" was a form of character assassination, which was not uncommon at the time. The high moderns didn't play.

I'm surprised you think this hasn't been happening for years, in smaller offshore shops.

These are all just transparent attempts to sound like "Claude", and if they're "sticky", that's the salient reason.

Yes. Then, you only have to convince Bing Copilot (et al.) to eventually list that website of yours.

I do find them the most loathsome of the social media platforms I visit. But here's another point -- recent investigations have shown they're not as good a resource for finding jobs anymore[0].

All y'all need more RAM in your development laptops. Maybe. At least, I've never been bothered by the performance of standard tooling like prettier, ESLint, and npm.

You could say the same thing about a 3D-printed gun, and be wrong in the same way. Since justice will work the same as always as soon as the gun -- or AI agent -- is connected to the person behind it.

In the U.S., a family of four technically doesn't need any money "not to starve," because SNAP covers the cost of groceries if providers are unable.

I never rented a 1-bedroom apartment until I was married. A studio/efficiency is fine for singles, or even a room.

The reason is normally that cities are providing sweetheart deals that exploit the local taxpayers and benefit the corps and a handful of city cronies. The poorer or more burdened the taxbase, the more secrecy or other tricks. That said, there's probably more than the normal going on in these particular cases.
