You've also seen UB-40. The Pogues were their opening act.

I tend to think of it the other way round: you need researchers to verify GenAI product, and confirm the absence of hallucinations, rather than have GenAI verify the product of research.

Three bold ideas for a progressive party that would probably have the biggest, positive impact: UBI, public health to include prescription medications, full public funding of quality education at all levels (why stop at grade 12?). I doubt everyone in the province would support them, unfortunately.

I liked that they were all the same size which made well organized bookshelves much more efficient. When books are different sizes, the way not to waste a lot of space is put all the same sized books on the same shelf, which plays havoc with other forms of organization (by author, subject, etc.)
