If housing was true free market, demand would drive new construction.

But its not, developers are artificially constrained into building inefficient single family homes, or giant luxury condos due to zoning and other hindering regulations.

Removing these regulations would allow new upstarts to vastly undercut the current market leading to more affordable housing.

Calcium carbonate, is the main ingredient in tums, and is the main component of limestone.

I thought it was a great episode, it was a fun self contained episode.

I for one look forward to seeing them experiment more.

Unless you are out for a very brief period of time, being unconscious is a seriously bad sign. Like brain hemorrhaging which left untreated will kill you.

The main thing is to remove the exemption of "light truck" for regulations that make suvs and trucks so much cheaper to manufacture for auto companies.

As for local areas, they can increase property taxes for heavy vehicles, to disentivse owning them.

Only if it equally applies to men who get someone else pregnant out of wedlock.

Also it's supposed to be federally illegal.

The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA) makes it illegal for employers with 15 or more employees to discriminate against women because of pregnancy, child-birth, abortion, or medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth. Pregnant workers must be provided with the same benefits and accommodations and treated the same as non-pregnant workers who have similar abilities or limitations to their work.

If they're making record profits why did they decide to come to steam?

I think their player numbers have dropped and they're trying to boost them.

From google intelligence is

the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills

ChatGPT is not capable of active learning so no.

If aliens can then yes.

I'm not even talking about human intelligence, most animals have some level of intelligence that chatGPT doesnt have.

ChatGPT is just very good at appearing intelligent.

It's missing intelligence though.

ChatGPT uses machine learning to predict a sequence of words, but there's no thought or understanding of the words.
