Like many who participate in this monthly challenge for Sobriety, he revealed the immediate benefits: he slept better, went to the gym more often and saved money.But as February approached, Mrs Van Antwerp felt excited – “perhaps too excited,” she admitted – to drink again.

In the 1960s, science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke devised a useful proverb: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is not distinguished by magic.” He was right, as evidenced by the almost mystical reverence with which people tend to describe tools of artificial intelligence such as chatgpt. We know it’s just software. We even understand how the program works. But because he is so advanced that he feels weird – as he likes knows me – we treat it with respect and a little fear, as if it were a God and not a creation.And, more and more, we turn to artificial…
If President Trump has his way, the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles will soon be reversed. It would eliminate tax credits for electric vehicle purchases, federal grants for chargers, and subsidies and loans to help revamp assembly lines and build battery factories.The executive orders issued by Mr. Trump on Inauguration Day amount to a radical repudiation of a central element of former President Joseph R.
