AI is just a plagiarism machine with thousands of copyrighted materials that "trained" it, which they paid nothing for.

I'd love single payer healthcare, but it would cost like 1000x more than this.

99.9% of human history:

Born just in time to: https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/files/2013/06/farming-1-1024x768.jpg

What if your task is later in the day? How do you stop from stressing about it the whole day?

"You people are next" does seem pretty threat-ish, however:

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston's bond at $100,000.

That is completely out of touch with what happened. "You people are next" not an act of terrorism.

• Likely wearing similar clothes to the widely circulated photographs. Otherwise how did anyone recognize him?
• Still had his ghost gun and manifesto on him.
• Cops asked him for an ID and he gave them the same fake New Jersey ID that had been widely reported as what he used to check into a hostel in NYC.

Where these just common mistakes? Made by the same person who succeeded at avoiding so many others? But if he was trying to turn himself in, getting arrested at McDonalds doesn't seem like the method I would have chosen. Was he trying for suicide by police?

I'm leaning on the side of a normal human 'on the run' and making normal mistakes. But there is enough to make me doubt that.

Also if they ever make a movie out of this, James Franco's brother Dave Franco has a passing resemblance.

It would be that many times the squared volume of a 200x200 image. Which is already 40,000 pixels. Multiply those together and you get 4.25 million megapixels (which are 1 billion pixels each), aka 4.25 gigapixels. It's extremely large but not unachievable.

People are AI generating entire movies which are 24-30 pictures per second. Seems like you could hit really big numbers really really fast.

It seems theoretically possible, with an unlimited budget and no time limit.

Considering how many military roles he had, I'm going with Lt. Col. J.B. "Johnny the Duke" Thomas

John Wayne played so many characters named "John" or "Duke." So many that I just tried to count how many roles and I lost track. I counted twice and got two different numbers, but I believe my final tally is 39 roles where his character had at least one of those 2 names.

EDIT: Final tally:

36 - "John" or "Johnny"

3 - "J" first initial, no full name given

5 - "Duke"

Bruce Almighty? His most memorable role.

Yes, like a mail in vote that arrived on election day. It wouldn't be included in today's "early voting" numbers, but it would have been included in the total number of mail in votes in 2020 that I'm comparing it too. But don't expect a big change.

The 2020 numbers might be deceiving and impossible to compare to. Mail in voting was heavily expanded, which skewed Democrat, so early voting results in 2020 skewed Democrat. Then election day skewed more Republican than normal too. It's not going to follow that exact pattern again.

Looks like the 2020 ticks are including mail in voting in 2020, which was heavily expanded during the pandemic. Places like North Carolina and Texas have immediately gone back to restricting absentee ballots. So yes there are less early votes, because they've gone back to restricting mail ballots.

Here I see there were just over 1 million votes by mail in North Carolina in 2020. Here I see that there were about 240,000 votes by mail in North Carolina through the 2nd. You could probably find a more up to date number, but you get the idea.

"Your honor I knew he had a nut allergy not a legume allergy." I'd love to see someone try that in court.

So if I see one parked, I'm hearing I should go hop up and down on the hitch and then run away.

It's more projection. Trump needs to win so he can stay out of jail. Probably the only reason he's running at all.

It's a high visibility jacket. High visibility stuff messes up photographs.

The killing process on Windows used to work better. Since about Windows 8 it's not been quite the same.

For me it's part of yawning. Ears pop when I yawn.

A lot of people have trouble with ears popping especially with airplanes. Hopefully you can take comfort in the stereotype of someone chewing gum to fix that problem.

It's not though. They worded it confusingly on purpose. The two that are still stuck are named Williams and Wilmore. The 4 mentioned in this article have different names.
