Claude's Network moment arrived sooner than expected

Gemini switched from banal classic rock host (“here’s a classic that needs no introduction,” before playing The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun”), to cheerfully detailing tragic events like the Bhola Cyclone, which killed an estimated 500,000 people, and pairing it with a themed song. (In this instance, “Timber” by Pitbull and Ke$ha.)

Perfection, no notes.

Yeah, pretty much. I have a friend in a state with very similar laws to Indiana. They had bought a DDM4 and was on the range with it later that day. There's only 13 states that mandate a waiting period.

2A just short for second amendment rights, part of US constitution that prevents the government from broadly restricting firearms access.

Felonies are the "big" charges (murder, arson, drug trafficking etc.) That's a scenario someone's second amendment can be restricted. Misdemeanor charges are lesser (petty theft, speeding ticket) and not something that would cause a restriction during background checks.

Edit- to get into the American mindset, invert your understanding of how it "should" work. In most of the world people have to earn a weapon license and prove their responsibility with it, if firearms are even available to the general public. In America everyone can have a gun by default until they've committed a crime that causes restriction on an individual basis.

It's illegal to not use an FFL in the exchange and sale of a firearm.

Buying new, yes, but this is not true for private sales (in most of the country)

If so, does that mean that practically everyone of age who has no recorded mental health issues and/or criminal history can just work around with a gun?

This varies by state and even by city, but at a basic level yes you got it. Specifically they are looking for felonies on the record, people with misdemeanor charges usually retain their 2A rights.

no same day purchases

Again varies by state, but somewhere like Indiana the background check is like a 30 minute process. You can browse the ammo selection while you wait for it to clear.

In this recent case it seems the store did a background check, further in the article it mentions that was an undisclosed straw purchase with the gun then handed off to a felon.

Clearly the store has documented issues, but I'm finding it difficult to pin the blame here on anyone but Olivia Burgos for falsifying the paperwork.

The rear quarter panel is the original chassis paint and registration color. This one's red.

Personally - I'm not buying the game. Krafton still owns the studio, and they've done nothing to make the situation better. Court mandated remediations aside, krafton tried to abuse these devs and steal what they were owed. They're still working under a hostile parent company and likely will become a skeleton crew in no time.

Best case scenario unknown worlds can use the money to split themselves into a new studio.

Yeah, the judge reversed the layoffs and reinstated the Unknown Worlds team, and now they'll get the bonus. But yes very awkward all around.

What do you mean if true? They went to court and produced the ChatGPT logs that Krafton CEO used to strategize how to get out of paying the bonus.

With Paramount and HBO now consolidating they're gonna need another name. ParaHBWBDISC++ perhaps?

They could at least put up some umbrellas, I'd be oven baked so fast. And who doesn't love exhaust fumes while you're eating?

I've lived here over a decade with no shelving in the shower, and I finally bought an organizer! This has been a huge quality of life upgrade, it's great having everything off the floor within reach. The shelving was super easy to install and I feel dumb tolerating the situation for so long.

 
 

The package now goes back to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson had warned senators not to deviate too far from what his chamber had already approved. But the Senate did make changes, particularly to Medicaid, risking more problems as they race to finish by Trump’s Fourth of July deadline.

 

NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) — Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was taken into custody by homeland security at an ICE facility in New Jersey on Friday afternoon, according to Alina Habba, the Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

“The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon,” read the social media post from Habba.

Baraka is being held at the ICE Newark field office.
