you are interpreting the downvotes entirely incorrectly, just stop.
I thought we already agreed that money is free speech. but by all means, lets get that overturned and abolish all PACs while we're at it.
If anyone else just wanted this article to get to the fucking point already, here is the original nexus post:

Given the ownership doesn’t like to spend a ton I think Booth was kind of forced to go young given that restriction.
maybe but if that is the case they should have negotiated harder with MPJ and Murray. Then they would have had more money to work with for KCP or whoever else. Also Saric for $5m is a bit much.
or they're trying to force Malone to use the young guys.
nice, that was by far the best Godzilla film I have seen.
also I assume they are sticking with the pseudo school theme and bringing in freshmen every year.
The BLS noted that the Boeing strike likely subtracted 44,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector
so I guess not just Boeing directly, but all jobs related to manufacturing of parts etc.
I was with you up until the shift away from multiplayer part. I do not see that happening at all, and I don't even like multiplayer games myself. There's no denying that more multiplayer has been the trend for the last 30 years, spanning multiple (people) generations, and I don't see AI changing that.
well the guy knows how to weld at least.
This is just a shitty article, acting all surprised that this wasn't a top tier draft class which we already knew. We knew most of the top picks were not scorers, and most of those that were (Sheppard and Dillingham) went to stacked teams like the rockets and wolves, so of course they aren't getting a ton of minutes.
If you look at defensive performance and offensive execution in general (you know, actually watch games rather than count points and minutes), the wizards rookies are killing it.
Coaches across the NBA just aren’t trusting the rooks to do much of anything.
The tanktastic Wizards have been the boldest team in the rookie department. Coach Brian Keefe started the team’s two heralded lottery picks Sarr and Bub Carrington in the season opener against Boston. But even Keefe couldn’t stomach that situation for long. After two blowout losses, Jonas Valančiūnas replaced Carrington in the starting lineup to give Sarr some muscle up front. After three games, Carrington has scored three, 10 and 13 points.
This is completely inaccurate, clearly this person does not actually watch the wizards. The rookies (with bilal and poole) are holding the team together. Yes there were two blowout losses against the world champions and the (undefeated) Cavs, but both games were actually competitive in the first half which is about as much as you can expect from a rebuilding team.
The 3rd game where they started JV and Sarr together started out terribly, and THAT is what Keefe quickly abandoned. As soon as they put Sarr back at center they came back and won that game. And then won the very next game as well, starting ALL THREE rookies.
there is also a causation question. I'm similar to you, I don't get sick much so I don't have much reason to be obsessive about cleanliness (of course I am hygienic and practice normal food safety). but my wife gets sick often and that causes her to be extra super careful about foods she eats, cleaning, hand sanitizing, etc.
we don't need to post every single macrumors article about the Mac mini.
is your phone on a VPN or something?
the AI piece is kind of irrelevant. the only relevant parts as far as I understand are how much the "image" directly resembles her, and the laws in the specific state (I believe her state of residence, but could be wrong).
Not just Elvis, there are a lot of celebrity impersonators out there. I'm guessing they are legal or traditionally tolerated for some reason. Maybe the fact that it's in-person vs in a film/tv show/ad/print makes it different.
People, your likeness can’t be used by others commercially without your consent, and this goes back way before AI or even computers.

For example:
actor Crispin Glover filed a lawsuit against Universal Studios for both the unauthorized use of his likeness and the use of footage of him from Back to the Future in Back to the Future Part II; his permission had not been sought for the latter and he received no payment. After a motion to dismiss was denied, the case was settled for an undisclosed amount. The Screen Actors Guild changed its rules to prohibit its members from unauthorized mimicking of other SAG members.[51][52]
A24's 'Heretic' will host advance screenings at Alamo Drafthouse in which the movie theater will smell like blueberry pie during one pivotal scene.
The movie company partnered with Joya Studio to bring multi-sensory screenings exclusively to Alamo Drafthouse theaters nationwide. The immersive moviegoing experience will take place at advance screenings on Oct. 30, ahead of the film’s Nov. 8 release date in the U.S.
...
The aroma will be activated at Alamo theaters via Joya Studio’s atomization technology, which employs cold-air diffusion to disperse scented molecules as fine, dry air without the use of heat, water or alcohol.
not a perfect translation, but pretty good.

Maybe the mod(s) got banned by admins? Doesn't seem to be too active thankfully, but it's probably only a matter of time before moderation will be needed there.

ICE is dead, and none of the developments make it to road cars anyway. Meanwhile, battery/EV tech needs all the development it can get and F1's have been frozen for years.
Make F1 road relevant again, not just aerospace on bubble gum tires. Let teams compete on the tech that actually matters to the motoring world.

CFI calls on our supporters to help defeat a pro-homeopathy amendment being proposed for the federal appropriations bill H.R. 4368. The homeopathy lobby is pushing hard for this amendment, and we need CFI supporters to voice their opposition to their members of Congress.
Homeopathy groups such as Americans For Homeopathy Choice (AFHC) are lobbying strenuously for Appropriations Amendment #4. This amendment would bar FDA enforcement of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act against new homeopathic drug products as long as a product complies with “standards for strength, quality, and purity set forth in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.” In other words, it would replace much-needed federal regulation with the industry’s own standards.
CFI has consistently pointed out that homeopathy is bunk science that does not work beyond the placebo effect. Homeopathic products are typically diluted to the point that no active ingredients remain. It is quack medicine and consumer fraud.
The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia’s standards of quality are not medically valid. Yet the amendment would exempt homeopathic products from FDA regulation and oversight if they comport with those standards. This amounts to an argument of “No need for federal regulation, we can regulate ourselves with our own standards even if they constitute medical fraud” – or, more succinctly, “Let the fox guard the henhouse, please.” (Indeed, CFI has tussled with the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia before.)
At the moment, AFHC and the homeopathy lobby are seeking additional co-sponsors in the House of Representatives for their amendment. This is where CFI’s supporters come in.
We need our supporters to mobilize and contact their members in the House of Representatives immediately. Please let them know, in no uncertain terms, that homeopathy cannot and must not escape federal regulation. It is crucial to keep Appropriations Amendment #4 out of the federal appropriations bill.
