"Most of the German/British tourists seem to come during the summer though" That never made any sense to me. I also go rather go with the birds north in summer where it is cool and to spain in winter when it is still warm.

The nazis were not a homogeneous block and neo paganism was not invented by them. They also made use of it, but actual neo pagans among the nazis were rare, it was rather marginal and the mainstream was still very christian. Their main beli

The claim was there is no difference between Opus and Fable but to me there is. Opus delivered mediocre results. Not garbage, but would have required me to do lot's of things myself. Fable did not needed my supervision with this task.

No idea what you are missing and yes, Opus is quite solid, but Fable is clearly way better for me. I just did a direct comparison, big change in a quite complex codebase. Same prompt for Opus, same for Fable. Fable clearly won and delivered

Since I see so many small kids with FB, Insta and TikTok accounts made for them by their parents - I find "I consent to the mishandling of my child's data" only funny in a very dark way.
