I remember that particular episode from my childhood and it felt pretty sad. Butterfree and Ash had a certain bond... and then they depart :(

Goatse came immediately to my mind, don't ask why.

Okay, updated the title's disclaimer a bit. It seems that the Rhoads' leftover material is so low quality compared to that of John Lennon's that a new song couldn't be reconstructed similarly using AI.

Tässä korjataan koulutusjärjestelmän "ilmiöoppimisella" murentamisen ja nuorten pahoinvoinnin satoa. Voisi myös kuvitella, että koronan aiheuttamilla pitkäaikaisongelmilla kuten aivosumulla ja muilla neurologisilla ongelmilla on oma vaikutuksensa.

As real as it gets, coming from Rockstar's official YouTube channel.

This came to my mind also, they might as well released their own metaverse and NFTs.

When someone says "I'm not against all vaccines, just the ones for COVID", he is usually lying. In time this "skepticism" will slide into being against even the common vaccines and it can be seen now. My favorite blog Respectful Insolence had a good post about the so-called "medical freedom":

"Health freedom” and “medical freedom” have become a rallying cry for libertarians, far right wingers, and even outright fascists. Indeed, the Republican Party has become a bastion of antivaccine and anti-public health hostility, a process that actually predates the pandemic by at least several years. “Health freedom” and “medical freedom” have always been code words for dismantling public health infrastructure, anything resembling a vaccine mandate (even in schools), and dismantling the FDA.

And after that tour Gene Simmons moved the goalposts, saying how it was a "a farewell to Kiss in its ORIGINAL LINEUP". In the recent years Simmons has made comments that the band could continue without him and Paul Stanley as a "franchise", so the goalposts could be moved again. Kiss's masks and makeup symbolize different personas, so that could be used for the reason for turning into a "franchise". It has also been heavily speculated that Slipknot is going to do something similar in the coming years.

"Blue Lives Matter".... no, not those ones!

So Musk is fine with the boycotting advertisers using their own free speech to boycott Twitter? Okay.

If the WHO had acknowledged from the start that COVID was airborne, it wouldn't have been the mess we are currently in. Masking would be more prevalent and these indoor air quality measures could have been implemented faster. Health authorities could also have given more better advice, something other than "wash your hands".

What also bugs me that even though indoor air quality has been extensively researched here (this study as part of the E3 Pandemic Response project), this knowledge doesn't properly transfer into political decision-making. Many health authorities have given advice like "wash your hands", "wear a mask if you want to", but it's mostly anchored to the dreaded droplet dogma. The media has the talking heads from the THL (The Institute of Health and Welfare, "our CDC") spouting their COVID minimizer propaganda that is disconnected from reality, and that has lead to downright disinformation being spread. But as COVID cases have been rising here, so has the sense that the health authorities haven't done their job properly, and the society is finally waking up from the manufactured illusion of COVID being somehow "over".

We are certainly living in interesting times.

I was thinking the exactly same about the original movie being a product of its time. If the sequel has no new angle and ways to bring Spinal Tap to this decade, it will be cheap nostalgia bait. Rock and metal music isn't similarly on the limelight like when the movie came out.

Better Call Saul didn't have a similar problem as Breaking Bad was somewhat part of the zeitgeist and a lot of effort was made to expand Saul's character and the lore.

Moving those CRTs from one place to another is arduous.

His guitar playing was more textural, using dissonance. And no guitar solos, unlike many of his contemporaries.

And even if vaccines reduce the risk of long COVID, the risk is still there. 1 in 10 COVID cases leads to long COVID. It's about layers of protection against COVID, one of which is vaccines. The others are masks/respirators, good indoor air quality, testing, UVC lights, staying home if one is sick and so on.

There you go, here is an archived version https://archive.is/cyApm

I got the Sands of Time on my GameCube somewhere around 2004. One of my favorite games, I have finished it at least 3 times. A really linear experience but brilliantly crafted, a classic.

Mietin ihan samaa. Perinteiset tuoteväärennökset ja Tallinnan Mustamäen torilla myytävät epämääräiset CD:t ovat sitä piratismia, josta järjestäytynyt rikollisuus hyötyy. Pirate Bay ja vastaavat torrent-palvelimet ovat taas enemmän enemmän teknologia-orientoituneiden ihmisten juttuja, ja he saattavat esimerkiksi näyttää mainoksia nettisivuillaan. Pitäisi esittää kunnollisia todisteita, että niiden taustalla on järjestäytynyttä rikollisuutta ja esimerkiksi ihmiskauppaa.

Musiikkia en ole warettanut aikoihin johtuen musiikin striimauksen tuomasta helppoudesta, mutta leffoja ja TV-sarjoja waretan ihan keskisormen näyttönä useamman striimipalvelun tuomalle rahastukselle.

Well, one can interpret the meme many ways, including reactionary. I agree with the view @snooggums@kbin.social presented.

This soap opera just got another twist! It's like clockwork, considering how Microsoft has invested before in OpenAI and Bing uses their technology.
