Why do so many of these guys look like the villain in sub million dollar budget direct to video movies

We totally misjudged how lazy people actually are.

Industrial pollution once ravaged the Adirondacks − decades of history captured in lake mud track their slow recovery Acid rain and metals from power plants, vehicles and industries reached remote mountain lakes for years. Evidence from those lakes today shows the success of the Clean Air Act.

For decades, pollution-filled rain ravaged the Adirondacks. But thanks to the Clean Air Act, researchers say lake mud reveals a comeback. A new study shows after a century of contamination, metal levels in some lakes have finally fallen to near-pristine levels, proving environmental policy works.

Nvidia and AMD agree to pay 15% of China chip sales to U.S. government The arrangement is highly unusual as U.S. tech export controls are usually based on national security imperatives rather than whether they can raise funds for Washington.

All of the Trump administration's scary national-security concerns about selling AI chips to China have faded away with a simple 15% cut of the action www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Listen partner, this towns not big enough for two idiot pieces of shit who only talk about how successful their dad was while having no discernible skills of their own

What's it like to have Frank Lloyd Wright design your house? This 101-year-old knows Roland Reisley is the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the Usonian home designed by the famed architect. Even after 73 years, he told NPR, he still marvels at the beauty of ...

Imagine getting a 3,200 square foot home, fully custom made for your needs, by one of the greatest architects of all time, for less than half a million dollars.

Everyone there seems to be constantly on their phones, you'd figure one would run a recorder app or just have the line open to voicemail.

Or if they have CYA files... maybe don't save them for a book

Sounds like one day you'll be able to say "Your dad was great in Forrest Gump"

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

"Anthropic warned that a single lawsuit ... over their AI training now threatens to "financially ruin" the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement."

Has the financial ruin argument ever worked for an individual?

And... Do they promise?

Cultys: Why are all the robots designed for very specific tasks instead of humanoid robots doing everything?

That's one of the darkest things I've seen in, well, at least 24 hours.

We've traded an epidemic of opioid addiction for gambling.

Just fucking brutal.

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

As a historical epic... yes, it's a failure.

As a poke at a French historical fugure, it's very well done.

When one minister is dragged off like a 19th century Jack Karlson mid succulent breakfast it hits:

This is a parody, Scott got funding to "take the piss" out of Frances icon.

It's like he had Lord Nelson and Wellington in the room while writing.

So in conclusion...

Young Napoleon and old are the same, just separated by a haircut to differentiate.

Napoleon's lovemaking skills are shown to indicate a lack of skill and stamina.

He's like an impetuous teen.

The history is skimmed over... etc...

Then it hits...

People remember this fellow.

But... in all the monuments... you recall Napoleon was also a brute who tried to take over Europe.

Many died in the shadow of his ambition.

So one day a Ridley Scott movie is on your TV covering this man of history...

Imagine you're like me, you've visited Paris and seen all the marks Napoleon left on the city: from the architectural layout to the carved graffiti to a man who left his mark on history...

I enjoy Sec Def Rock's posts, and am always happy to read his latest articles when they are published.

But on Scott's Napoleon film... he is DREADFULLY WRONG!

Napoleon 2023 is a triumph!

Here is why:

ISW assesses that Putin’s ceasefire proposals may be aimed at delaying new sanctions and shifting blame to Ukraine if talks fail. The analysis notes Russia often uses such tactics to buy time and avoid accountability for continued aggression.
