need comments. but try to make it cultural that comments should be optimistic/helpful.

it's a conceptual art project / hoax.

but what if everything cost the same, like a dollar store?

I've had good results with Claude. Sometimes better than chatGPT. Never been censored, but that's probably just cause I ask it to teach me about stuff.

this is what I was going to say. in fact it's the same principle in real life, if you are polite with people they will be polite back. The LLM has just learned statistically that blocks of text with polite language generally continues.

Additional suggestions that i think would make the game better/harder because the answer distribution is currently pretty skewed and many of your options are just clearly not covered by the rule (though all respect to rule sticklers, general contrarians, and everythings-a-vehicle hipsters):

construction equipment for park improvements (backhoe, etc)

gas powered moped

electric moped

gas powered rc car

4-wheeler/atv/dune buggy

golf cart

segway/monowheel

antique cars for some kind of demo/event

shriner guys in those mini cars in a local parade (at least i think most americans know what i'm talking about)

anti-drunk driving display (they have these sometimes at colleges, and maybe high schools, but it's basically a wrecked car and there are police there to do pr)

Note: i think many of your options are just clearly not covered by the rule, maybe keep some of them but not so many?

I am interested in this, but already confused on page 1. The book describes a bank needing to borrow swiss francs, but that doesn't make sense to me. Why not just borrow the money in their native currency? Does the book ever go into this?

it's an elegant system. capitalism creates problems, which are just opportunities for you to monetize.

!00% and they can both a bit opportunistic in new growing areas like dried up seasonal pools. Personally I think it's a bit funny that virginia/thicket creepers show up in these, but I also think they should because it's instructive for newbs.

I got all of them right up to like 30 of them. But can we discuss something? none of the look-a-likes were the hardest one, at least in my neck of the woods. Box elder saplings. That's all, I just find it odd that so many of these poison ivy things don't include more of it. Maybe the author's don't live in Box elder zones.

It was 70-80 years ago and you were off by about 2 years. Inconsequential. It makes zero difference to the meat of the story exactly how man Migs were shot down. The precise number is not the story. You didn't say 'some guy' you said 'a guy', which has a different connotation.

something is definitely wrong with firefox on linux. There is no margin on the left side.

In case you are wondering why oc suspected mitochondria, it's because many people believe (though science can't say for certain) that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
