Ha. Leave it to CA to hamstring insurance companies like that. Anyway, requiring insurance of high risk areas at 85% seems like a losing proposition unless rates increasing dramatically. It might be cheaper to leave the market.

It looks like LibreOffice is going to get a boost, simply for the word processing need without paying for Microsoft Office?

The evidence for automation eliminating jobs is mixed. In many cases it simply creates a new class of worker who gets paid more than the employees who were replaced, which can offset the savings from automation. In many cases it does not revolutionize the job it was supposed to replace. Automated checkout has been…

Soon after landing on the lunar south pole, a flag was set

“...in a surprise development, Gizmodo commenter Woshiernog was blamed for everything fire related in Hawaii and arrested today”

If you want to get close enough to a radioactive wild boar to douse it with water to see what happens, I’ve got your back.

It would not surprise me if at least one streamer tries to do an AI-generated show if the strikes go on. Because they absolutely believe in magic beans. 

but infinite money thooooooooooo

Funny how studios thought that they could make their own streaming apps without taking into consideration how much it actually costs to run . It’s probably way cheaper to license out all their IP to the likes of Netflix and stuff and just worry about making the content. 

Insiders have been rumbling about this for a while.

This does seem like a weird lawsuit. I work in defense, and every job posting in every defense contractor (even for posts that don’t require a clearance) say “U.S. Citizenship Required.”

I love how his website’s main page is for donations. 

Somehow there always seems to be a slow moving VESPA in the way, no matter where you drive...

Say what you like about the Wheel of Time series, but the guy they got to play Logain is awesome.

Makes sense they’d premier Rebel Moon’s trailer here. That looks as generic any bloated AAA video game. I wonder if Netflix can somehow fit loot boxes into it. Then it’ll really be at home.

So, roughly 17 million commercial flights in a year, with 300 near collisions. That is 0.0018%.

Yes, “near collisions” is a great attention grabber, in 2022 there were nearly 43,000 US automobile related deaths, or ~ 8274 per week. 

This is why people say the left eats itself.

“Hmmm, if i compare the movie I hate with something everyone else seems to hate right now they will ALL see the error of their ways!” - Germain, probably.

I will never understand what people’s problem is with a movie pitched firmly at five year olds doing well at the box office. Having sat through a great many movies meant for that age range, the Mario movie was basically Citizen Kane for kindergarteners.

Never pre-order anything. It's my motto, it doesn't have to be yours. But pre-ordering has reduced quality of releases in my opinion.
