The assumption here is that if you pull that same prompt out of source it will generate the same code. But from what I'm seeing that's a very shaky assumption. So perhaps you dont need that prompt. 🤔

Your public service commissions are the dividing line between who pays. If they don't approve consumer rate hikes the utility companies foot the bill. If they do approve rate hikes, you got the bill. Vote for commissioners that have a plan for balancing consumer and business needs.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has increased to $30 a month, and for the first time, the subscription doesn't feel worth it to me.

"$5 billion wasn't enough? Apparently not."

OPINION:

For the first time, I’m questioning if Game Pass is worth it after the $30 Ultimate hike

With a 50% increase, I'm questioning the value of my subscription for the first time.
