He's technically been elected. Just not by Canada as a whole.

Beware that the direction of the difference isn't necessarily an indicator of how they feel about you. I've had this experience with my partner before we got to know each other. She acted extremely friendly towards everyone except me and I later learned that it was because she had a crush on me and was trying to hide it.

Isn't high demand the whole reason that prices are so high to begin with?

Regarding your worry about looking silly, I get you. I like to think the gym is one of the less judgemental places (and in my experience, it is), but you find assholes everywhere in life, so it would be a lie to say you'll never encounter them. What helps for me, and maybe it'll help you too, is confidence in knowing you're doing the right thing. What is the right thing? No, it's not doing the exercise with the correct form, or doing the correct rep scheme or pushing with the correct intensity. None of that. The right thing is showing up and actively working on improving yourself. That means taking the time to experiment and eventually figure out how to do things right. It means not letting perfect be the enemy of good.

If you're looking for resources to learn the big 3 lifts, I highly recommend the articles on strongerbyscience. Here's their deadlift article.

And as others have said, don't be shy to ask others for guidance. I've had my share of asking for form checks and of being asked for form checks. The gym is the kind of place where everyone generally likes to help each other out.

Yes please. I made the same request a while back but it went unanswered :(

High-crime areas can also drive up premiums due to increased risks of theft or vandalism.

It peaked when it was good enough to generate short somewhat coherent phrases. We'd make it generate ideas for silly things and laugh at how ridiculous the results were.

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

It's also crazy to realize something you think to be common knowledge turns out to not be common knowledge. We learned about the four humours in high school English because it's relevant to analyzing older texts. I don't think I know anyone IRL who don't know what they are.

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.

I know someone who works as a software dev and does photography as a hobby. He gets a pretty steady stream of wedding photography gigs on the side.

An idea I've been toying with is that laws should be written like software with lots of test cases. It makes no sense to create laws with ambiguous terms that only become concrete when it goes through court. We should know what the law actually is before it gets passed.
