Did your parents pay for your education? Do you wish they did if they didn't? You cannot simply calculate hard ROI on a life experience. College is a place for a kid to not only learn how to be a part of the bureaucratic machine, but a human. There might be other cheaper ways to do this.

>I'll never be a rich man. But I will lead a rich life.

it's interesting how relative this statement is. For a lot of people, being able to lead a rich life means you're already rich; if you're not worrying about money every day (and i mean literally checking your bank account before going to the grocery store), you are rich.

As someone named Devin who works in tech, I greatly hope this project fails. :)

King's come around by saying basically it is a good movie but a bad adaption, and he's not wrong. They're two different stories with different characters.

I don't understand your use flow there.

I have a hue bridge with a static ip in my house that controls my lights. Management through a third party app is instant.

Are you individually connecting to each light through Bluetooth?

Oh, dang. The screenwriting she's done for fantastic beasts is not on par with her novel writing.

If she's something like a show runner here with hands on each script, it would make the series suffer. Some people are great at story tellingin one medium but that doesn't always translate.

Weird, I swapped off the platform when they removed it around 2016. They must have reintroduced it?

Could you detail a bit more your gpt4 usage for language learning?

I was wanting to get back into French and thought about using chatgpt, but I'm worried about it's hallucinations and teaching me wrong.

Depends on your political alignment. Superhero movies are basically fascist propaganda (the people who are most powerful will have your best interests in mind and save you, you dear children who enjoy comic books in your adulthood).

It's the one I still use! Between it's constant updates and plugin support, I have no desire to swap to something new.
