May only be because their sessional rate just went up but their SA rates haven't in a few years, but was still strange.

They look so good, but so $$$

I think thats the biggest problem with all gen AI, it *looks* right to someone who doesn't know a lot about the thing. And so in modern governance where the role of the governing group is strategy and assuming the experts bringing are bringing correct things, AI can introduce major errors.

I agree, the policy writing I've seen done with AI is always worse than human drafts. They lack internal consistency, have accidental loopholes, and while they sound right, when actually examined for implementation they have major problems.

And looks like it was two of the potentials, it's also replacing the previous funding, not on top of, as the previous funding model was for 40,000 per year. So still good, but only 15,000 new roles per year with this funding.

Yep, you're right, just saw the info. Looks like it's over three years. Also they're saying it will support 55,000 students each year, which implies that they don't expect the funding to reach the $5k cap for each role, or else it would be closer to 43,000 students.

The money towards the SWPP seems huge, isn't it normally capping out at 5k per role, so is that 127,000 new roles each year, or is that replacing the amount they had before, or is that over the next 4 years?

TRU ran 3:30-5:30 which worked really well

and they weren't going to be able to get the developer to pay for that level of upgrade, they decided it made more sense for the City to own it and be able to sell it in the future if they are ever able to do the upgrades.

I live beside Parkcrest park and I 100% thought it was going to get bought up by a developer. Last year the city said they had no interest in buying it. But I have a feeling that when the City realized that the roads and sewer system in our area isn't able to handle the likely type of development...

Oh, and for the academia folks, its even easier: 3. 'Your students are not your dating pool'.

Heres the simple version: 1. 'dating someone whose career you have control over is wrong' 2. 'Dating someone who is under 21 when you are over 31 is creepy and wrong'

That shouldn't be hard to understand. Sure there can be nuance in these things, but those two lines are easy and simple.

Some people leave the world better by the time they retire, others make the world better by retiring.

Oh... oh no...

Oh man, I have thoughts, but not time to write them. Gonna save this for later.

Thanks! It's one of my favorite ties, and more people should embrace purple dress shirts, its the best colour.

My tie today

The OG is a husband and wives, so family would work best I think. Alternatively, and probably controversially, how about a polycule of vampires? Unfortunately doesn't work for situations like Interview with a Vampire, so family would be best.
