Keyword here is TREATED. Now Telsa will probably argue they added a dash of salt which they contend is "treated" wastewater. Billionaires don't care about you or your health.

let's not have q=quit. most rouge games have q=quaff. I mean if people want to quit, they can just refresh or close the tab. At the very least, ask.

completely agree. Most Apple users are in it for the ecosystem. Tech people care about performance and these people don't typically choose Apple until recently with the M series which are a beast. Even I'm envious.

Amazon has this Kiro product they are trying to sell and they are using their own employees to improve the product and their own LLM. They are giving uni students 1000 credits/month and running competitions.
