Just because an English word was originally Latin and is written the same way, doesn't mean it's pronounced the same way. It's an English word now. It has an English pronunciation, pluralisation and definition that can all be different from the original. "Kentawur" is not correct for the English word.

I would argue that they're smuggling in fentanyl precisely because the less dangerous drugs are also illegal, so there's no oversight in making sure they're not laced with the cheaper fentanyl.

I can't find the post you're referring to. Can you link it?

I can stand by this for an established business. But we live in a capitalist society where you need money to make money. Until that changes, your ability to pay for work doesn't have any bearing on the value of your new business venture.

Why would you need anyone to buy your products when you can just enjoy them yourself?

Basically any question you might have can be fed into ChatGPT. You just need to be aware that its output is very often wrong. I would only recommend using on topics that you're already well versed in so that you can recognize when it's wrong.

I don't see the need to ever pay for it. I'm already getting everything I need out of the free model. Never had issues with prioritization. If it's slow to respond, that's just more time that I spend thinking about the question myself — something I would be doing regardless.

That's how it works in Canada. There's a set amount given to the parent giving birth, then the rest can be split however you want.

For sure. I was suggesting we look at the stock market model as inspiration, not to copy it exactly. I don't really know what the exact solution would look like. I haven't thought through this as deeply as Pete probably would have.

Sellers includes the employees. I put it in quotes because it isn't exactly the same as other buying and selling transactions where the sellers are actively part of the transaction.

Fair in the sense that both the buyer and "sellers" agree on the price.
