Worried bartender is still in a childs mindset; ask those guys where they work

I tended bar for almost a decade and made great money, drinking isn't my first choice but those two bartenders were dropping $50-60 bucks a day on a drink and a tip...those bartenders might be walking away with a a couple hundred to thousand a night and are just supporting the young, naive bartender knowing how many people will stiff'em and they might come to his bar because its cheap, meaning our 27 year old pal isn't getting a high gross unless there is insane volume, which 2 beers and 2 shots for $30 is pretty mid in my neck of the woods, you can find better deals but I've also worked places where 2 beers, 2 shots is $45+ because of the liquor being sold.

Next time they come in find out where those bartenders are working, be a little curious and find out if the money is good. Also if they keep tipping you, throw them an extra shot or free beer or pour everything as they come in just out of respect for throwing bones your way.

University, Colleges and AI: does llm use by students change on the funding economics

I understand the LLM plague at all levels of education, but I am wondering if there are any distinctions between how higher education is funded if that influences student AI use.

Basically are loan holding students more likely to use AI than students who have access to higher education without becoming indebted. I would imagine students who are loan holders or actively paying for school would be perversely incentivized over a student who could attend school without a financial burden.

Do universities in the UK , EU and elsewhere have the same rates of student LLM use as the US where the students would be more likely to be actively paying for college or have a loan for college? Or is the LLM use pretty much similar across higher education institutions as an issue?

Is there an threshold where the volume and density of vehicle traffic become better served by train or a larger mass transit option?

I've been on the road an unusual amount lately in a high density area and it got me thinking, sitting in bumper to bumper with 500+ other cars that all are generally going to the same direction to similar locations. Is there some theory on when a roadway full of cars is better served by a mass transit option as opposed to a car? I'm thinking of something like car > bus > railway > ??? based on the density, volume and gross distance the traffic is generally moving.

I could see cars permitting more fine mobility while trains, busses and other mass transit options would probably be little more rigid in how they can move people around.
