Pluribus is on Apple. I steal the shows so it's ok for me to watch while hating Apple but if you are a cultist and have Apple TV, this show is worth checking out. Justified! It stars the actress that played Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul. The very basics are that "something" takes over alm...

I am seriously considering getting a 5090 as Microcenter seems to have 3 different cards for $2400-$2500. Still $400 more than I want to pay but with the memory prices I imagine the 'standard' 5090s will be going back up. And the Supers, if they even come out now, are 9 months away. And no telling ...

Just when GPUs were getting back to MSRP they will now be going the other way due to the memory prices. Also rumor is the upcoming 50xx 'Super' cards will either be delayed to Q3 2026 or cancelled altogether for the same reason. So that's cool. The everyday consumer can't catch a break these days. ...

So no. Democrats didn't "start" it. I didn't say they started the correction. They benefit if nothing is corrected. California was a trantrum reaction by Newsome. They should have ignored the Texas adjustment. The fact is that if we get a true nationwide redistricting to correct for what ...

Gerrymandering shouldn't be a thing from any party. If you can't win fairly then you don't deserve to win. Republicans have the main ones crutching on this because they can't win on policy.

I'll give you this round. Bob Ross is so popular that AI inserts him into the images. Bob is AI immune because he's included in a lot of his art online.

I disagree with the first point. AI can do improv. You even mention the actors being given a single "prompt" which is exactly what AI takes as input. Every "prompt" you give AI, it instantly changes to that prompt and creates whatever it is...story, image, video, etc. AI is lite...
