A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn't relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? "Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?"

I don't know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don't get to live any dream you like.

Ok, so the coroner and his brother had a hidden room where they kept decomposing bodies, some as long as 15 years. This was discovered and he resigned his position as coroner. A new coroner was appointed.

That coroner's office also, separately, planned a community event for a Halloween party. The planned Halloween party would have had zero corpses, and the creep who kept the corpses wasn't invited to attend (probably?). Cancelling the event had nothing to do with safety, in spite of what the unnecessary quotes in the headline would suggest.

Yes, but will they be able to capture the true narrative complexity of asking a desk toy to provide randomized platitudes and admonisitions? How can they please the built-in hardcore fans without alienating the newcomers who don't have an encyclopedic understanding of the extensive lore? Will they tackle some of the more problematic canon events that have aged poorly in a more enlightened society? Or will they gloss over those moments and modernize the deep mythology on which the intellectual property is based and risk abandoning the edge that made it popular in the first place?

Concentrate and ask again

Fuck.

No press is bad press, I suppose. Doesn't make me want to buy their coffee.

The researchers are also bots.

Looks neat. I'm a comic book fan, so I'll probably pick it up eventually, if it ever goes on sale. Or not, if it sucks.

Yep, and their belief is a danger to literally everyone who does or will ever live on Earth.

Not at all. And in fact, I wish more people weren't expecting a cool prize at the end of all the death and destruction.

To be entirely fair, we are like 2 cubic meters of carbon dioxide away from total ecological collapse. Made-made climate change is now beyond any threshold where we previously had reasonable expectations of being able to prevent it. The oceans will rise, climate catastrophes will increase, and the world will become more hostile.

It kind of feels like were frogs in a boiling pot, and we're living though the apocalypse now. But the wifi still works, so scroll on and don't think about it too much.

Damn, I remember when consoles got less expensive over time, and when free speech was a thing.

Senior devs love vibe coding because they have the knowledge and skills to recognize and fix errors. They hate it because it makes morons think they don't need the knowledge and skills to recognize and fix errors.

Check out Immich next. It's sort of like a self-hosted Google photos except it allows you to own your photos.

 

I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.
