I rode for several years. Such a study needs to take into account the age, accident/ticket rate of the rider, and type of bike. While I was cautious, riding vs driving a car for economic reasons, there were plenty of testosterone-laide

That’s a fragile, sort of roundabout comment. I can think of 90125 reasons closer to the edge that will move us back two squares.

I hope you are speaking with tongue in cheek. Security is the main reason to keep current with updates. They address various “CVE” reports and go beyond to patch things not reported by CVEs.

Can someone explain why sqrt(x+1) - sqrt(x) is “inaccurate” for all x>1? Inaccurate how, and why, and why is 1/(…) any better? Thanks.

If they euthanize a sick animal, won’t the euthanasia drug be consumed by the predator? What about the disease? Also, don’t predators go after live things that give chase?

Genuinely curious - could heavy marijuana use cause confusion between landing gear and fuel cutoff? Or some other drugs? (Wondering if they screen pilots for alcohol before they board an aircraft.)

Why don’t companies publish hashes of emitted answers so that we, eg teachers, could verify if the AI produced this result?
