Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

It's a good thing I'm out of space for 3D printers.
If I wasn't, I'd be tempted to break my personal rule against backing expensive Kickstarters.

This is like requiring new crash tests for cars just because manufacturers offer a new paint color.
FDA Commissioner Makary: "The day of rubber-stamping covid vaccines for young healthy kids is over. You cannot send us an application for a new covid booster each year with no new updated clinical trial data and expect the FDA to just blindly rubber-stamp it ... people don't trust us."

The projection is just painful - of course they think Dems would exclude certain people from their rights because that’s exactly what they would and are doing.
How is this even a hard question? Yes, the constitution applies to everyone. Sorry if that answer didn't occur to you

And the fun part in, since the administration is pressuring manufacturers and retailers to mask the price of tariffs from consumers, very likely these price increases will be permanent in some form or another after this disaster of a presidency is over.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
