Perhaps because the chatbot is advising the user on how to act in a given situation... and how to circumvent having their chatGPT prompts flagged by the system.

I have seen this in many orgs. It is sometimes hard for others to see you in a role other than the one you are in, or sometimes they see you as too valuable in your role to let you leave it.

I agree with the others that sometimes the path for career advancement can be to move on elsewhere.

From the home page:

Mag World is an effort to develop an intuitive sense of scale-–not just “bigger” or “smaller”, but how much bigger, and how much smaller. And what are each of the levels of scale like?

I bought a C64 ultimate recently as well. I am thoroughly enjoying it and re-learning the eccentricities that all made sense to me back in the 80s...

"blaming rising costs" makes it sound like they're actually doing something shady.

It's not exactly a secret that memory and storage costs have gotten more expensive. It should not be a surprise when a piece of hardware that depends on those gets more expensive too.

I'll give you that currency isn't a huge issue. From what I recall, Quebec wanted to continue using the Canadian dollar if they separated.

If they opted to go with the USD, they'd have to trade all their CAD - which will undoubtedly take a huge hit if they separated.

I still think that separatists would say that Alberta doesn't have to deal with a share of the debt and that would be a sticking point.

It has been my experience that people always seem to want simple solutions to complex problems.

The result is that the details of how complex those problems are get ignored or their impact is represented in a diminished way.

In this case currency, debt, indigenous rights/claims and existing legislation are some examples of what is being glossed over and ignored.

I've lived my entire life just "down the road" from Toronto in Canada's 10th largest city. Always in the shadow of Toronto and the butt of many jokes.

Back when I worked in Toronto, people would always ask when I'd be moving there - because why would you want to live anywhere else?

I also remember, circa 2000, when the marketing people at the company I worked at were talking about advertising - they didn't see the point of spending on advertising outside of Toronto.

It's a very different mindset, that's for sure.

My Ontario green plate starts with GV...

May Day - like labour day in Canada/USA... but on the first of May
