The article doesn't specify, but what kind of 'activity on adult websites' is damaging to the point that a candidate would be pressed to drop out?

This is nice and all, but I don't know that it means a whole lot. There are few stakes for the people coming out to endorse Harris now. They don't work in govt roles, hold position in a political organization or an elected office.

The rank and file GOP (who are running for reelection now or in 2-4 years) are still sticking to the party line and the approved narrative. When they start flipping then it will be real news.

It's of course troubling that AI images will go unidentified through this service (I am also not at all confident that Google can do this well/consistently).

However I'm also worried about the opposite side of this problem- real images being mislabeled as AI. I can see a lot of bad actors using that to discredit legitimate news sources or stories that don't fit their narrative.

My God what hubris. Rush had so many chances to pause the dive or work on a redesign and ignored it. I can't imagine the fear of being 3000+ feet below and hearing the first cracks of the hull as it starts to implode. Hope it was fast.

I loved the original, and enjoyed this one. It was a respectable sequel, especially given how most sequels are hot garbage. Worth a watch if you enjoyed the original movie. Not necessarily theater worthy, but it was pretty great to hear the original Danny Elfman theme playing in the theater during the intro.

$700?!? Are you freaking kidding? I'll stick with my PC, thanks.

Thank fucking God. Someone with sense finally showing up in Jeff city.

Fingers double crossed for Missourians this fall.

Or, perhaps a mashup of both???

I don't understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.

" optimize staffing levels to be more comparable with industry leaders”

I will never understand why investor types like to play follow the leader rather than giving strategic or financial reasons for business decisions. Who gives a shit if every other studio is laying people off? If the staffing is right for your company then following other industry leaders will only make things worse and cement you in a place behind those leaders.

I mean there was that story about RFK eating dog. I think he's a citizen though, as much as I'd love for him to go away.

(NOTE- the story was found to be false.)

A professor I was taking a management class with gave me a fun burn on my thesis. I asked for his input on a specific point and he called it "intellectual masterbation" and proceeded to talk for 15 min or so about ideas he thought i should have studied instead (I was already preparing for my thesis defense so couldn't change topics). Never got an answer on the actual question I'd raised.

 

???

 

Finally some good news on a studio closure. So glad for the team at Tango they found someone to take them on.

 

If you haven't watched the olympic break dancing competition, do yourself a favor and check it out. The woman competing for Australia might be the best thing I've seen so far.

 

So, anybody know a good launcher to use once Nova goes offline?

Left the original title from the article for consistency, but article suggests that they may not be shutting down and are instead restructuring.

36 employees were laid off.

 

Curious about y'alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze money out of us.

TLDR: A coffee factory has recalled coffees they produce under many other labels due to botulinum toxins. LOTS of coffee companies are on this list so it's worth a look even if you don't drink Kaldi's. You can toss or return coffee for a refund.

It's a little unclear, but the article makes it sound like the Kaldis classic black and all the others are the same coffee, just repackaged coffee for each brand. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I thought I was buying local when I bought their stuff. I'm a little disappointed.

Thought you all might find this interesting. I like this artist, but can imagine seeing oneself portrayed this way could be jarring.

 

So excited to consolidate my mess of drives and get a big boost to my storage.
