“I do not believe that targeting amyloid is going to lead to a useful Alzheimer's therapy, and watching these trials feels to me like watching someone trying to put out an oil well fire by dumping duffel bags of money onto it from helicopters” @Dereklowe

“@DonaldShoup's superpowers include the ability to shoot parking meters out of his eyes, and the ability to fly using his car as a rocketship. He has used these powers to great effect in the war on off-street parking.”
Prompt: Write an article about how Donald Shoup acquired superpowers and used them to lead the war on off-street parking.

Computer generated text: Donald Shoup is a superhero. He acquired his superpowers through a freak accident involving a lightning bolt and a parking meter. Since then, he has used his powers to lead the war on off-street parking.

Shoup's superpowers include the ability to shoot parking meters out of his eyes, and the ability to fly using his car as a rocketship. He has used these powers to great effect in the war on off-street parking.

Shoup has single-handedly destroyed more off-street parking than any other superhero. He has also inspired other superheroes to join the fight against off-street parking.

The war on off-street parking is far from over, but with Donald Shoup leading the charge, it is only a matter of time before victory is achieved.

Me, interviewing: The binary tree lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not inverting it. Why is that?
