Let our AI help you communicate like a human being! It's a funny state of affairs when AI is touted as the solution to inhumane communications. But I suppose marketers need all the help they can get to present as human. Although, I

> They're ok with an absolute ruler, even if it's symbolic These are contradictory concepts. An absolute ruler can't be a symbolic ruler. A symbolic leader, almost by definition, is not an absolute ruler.

It is meandering, but that's a good thing so far as I am concerned. It's an essay in the old-fashioned exploratory Montaignian style where the journey matters as much as the destination, not the sterile persuasive plod of the mode

Yes, they were outplayed at their own game. What they did to HyperVolt (Hyperice), the Chinese merchants did to them. But it's still a useful article because it's eye-opening for the average Amazon shopper.

Are those American biscuits like scones? I thought they were akin to dumplings. We really are "two countries separated by a common language". (To be clear, these dumplings: https://www.errenskitchen.com/suet-dumpli

It depends what you mean by "Ethereum". The usual meaning is the network that runs the blockchain. Validators are part of the network. I mean, it's a decentralized network—that's the point—there is no monolithic "wh
