The more likely case is one person (most often women, but men do childcare as well) is taking care of the kids of at least 3 couples (6 people), and could be up over 10 couples (which happens though often isn't legal or a good idea). T

Really? What society? The 1950s got close in the US (I'm not sure about elsewhere, but I doubt it), but even then there were a lot of women working. If you go back to 1800 you will discover that saying families had only one income wa

What was the quality? AI generally will have better grammar and such vs what most people write. So I could believe you prefer the AI content in this example because it is better quality, but this tells us nothing about AI vs human written

That is one of the 3 purposes of school. The other two are to get a good job, and to make you a better citizen of the world... (there might be more, but those are the 3 I've come up with). Animal Farm tries to be the last, but the fl

in 1990 the internet was something talked about on your BBS as a mystical place you couldn't get access to except as a student. Lots of places had email, but it was unusual for anyone to be connected to any other system. Sometimes a B

The larger point - which they made poorly - seems to be that Notes made a lot of decisions that probably were fine alone. However nothing stands alone, and everybody else made a different decision. Some of the different decisions everybody

As I recall about half my class enjoyed it, and half hated it. I have nothing wrong with you being in the half that liked it. However I remain in the half that didn't like it.

Problem is that book is based on so many things that we know are untrue about humans in general that it is hard to take any questions it provokes seriously. I can accept the impossible for the fun of it, but when something is impossible I d

I must have misunderstood. The climate is different between the twos, but a surprising amount of what I wrote happens to apply to both anyway. Even where what I wrote doesn't apply the idea still does: prepare for what happens where y

I'm not clear what you were doing with an engine then. Unless you were part of the design team finding and fixing bugs and making the engines reliable for the rest of us.

Mechanics often have a skewed perspective, though, and so I don't necessarily trust your experience because you see that bad cases. The reality is a modern engine is very reliable in general and yes, seals will go out but that's m

Less maintenance the traditional engine. well assuming you plug it in of course but if you're plugging it in you're only using the edge for longer trips and so you're going to save a lot of money while still having range to m

That is very much a it depends. Most of the time you are correct. However there have been times when a gun was used to stop looters who otherwise didn't care. The guns were used to protect houses and the neighbor's house though.
