Grinding is another possibility. Rubbing rocks together isn't a very complicated technology.

Ugh...

A "toxin" is a poisonous substance produced by a living organism. While all toxins are toxic to something, not all things that are toxic are toxins. As an example caffeine would meet the definition of a toxin (poisonous to insects and mammals in sufficient doses), arsenic would not (poisonous to almost all life, but not produced by a living organism).

Sorry for being so pedantic, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

The groceries in the passenger seat are a nice touch, because of course there's gonna be no trunk space.

Three charges related to a second woman were dismissed because she is now dead.

Yeah... I'd like to know more about that.

Yeah, when I was looking for information about Tears of the Kingdom around 90% of my search results was AI slop. I think was looking for info about how weapon durability and fusion worked and I kept getting a badly reworded version of the explanation of fusion from the gameplay teaser.

Actually.. that reminded me of another TotK search I did, I was looking for where to farm some variety of lizalfos tails and kept getting AI articles that confused BotW locations with TotK. Amusingly, I eventually tried Google's chatbot out of exasperation and it actually proved more accurate than my search results.

Even a turtle realizes when something can threaten its existence.

Hey now, don't worry. I'm sure this will all be cleared up when the bodycam footage is released and it clearly shows the police being menaced with a knife... right?

Ah... well. You know the old saying, you can't make a genocide without killing a few hostages.

Gee, we've had over a half century of computer graphics at this point. However, suddenly when a technology arises that requires obscene amount of GPU's to generate a results a GPU manufacturer is here to tell us that all computer graphics without that new technology is dead for... reasons. I cannot see any see any connections between these points.

I'd also like to add she's dumb as a rock, just in case anyone missed that.

Spez is a pretty standard tech bro, so of course he wants to jam "AI" into everything he can.

That seems like a good way to get fleas.

 

So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
