I've been running it on my series S for hours without a single crash - sounds like that might be something to do with your console

Completely disagree - a lot of non-native speakers have excellent grasp of grammar, precisely because they have learnt the rules. Native speakers rely on stuff sounding right, rather than necessarily knowing the rules. But following grammatical rules rigidly is exactly what I would expect both from a genAI and a non-native speaker (as well as avoiding figurative speech and idioms).

I felt like I wasn't able to make any decisions were I was happy with the outcome.

That's generally a consistent theme in the cyberpunk genre. You can't win and you can't get out of the game.

I'm really having difficulty in understanding your post (I don't know what isnotreal, pigpoopballs or a CRH380A is). It seems that you're saying that because the UN report was not definitive that crimes against humanity are being committed, all of its findings can be ignored?

Could you address the comments about the UN report? It claims severe human rights breaches and possible crimes against humanity. I'd be interested to hear an explanation.

Indeed, I've apparently inadvertently given myself away.

But Jacqueline Wilson is specifically talking about children's books, where that disclaimer won't be particularly helpful (FWIW I completely agree for adult books). I think Pullman has the right idea - allowing the books to go out of print is the right approach here, but won't be adopted for obvious reasons

Thank you for such a comprehensive answer - I really appreciate the thought you've put into it. I'll look at the options you suggest

Thanks. Would you recommend living around Cambridge for a young family? What's the chance of getting somewhere with a garden?

 

Hi there,

I will be moving to Boston with my wife and our two year old. I will be working in Cambridge (Kendall/MIT being the closest transit stop). I was wondering what would be some good places to live when our budget is about 4000 USD/mo. Ideally we would like to have access to a garden, but not being too far from the city. Any advice gratefully received.
