NoiseColor , in Donald Trump may drop JD Vance for Nikki Haley, ex-Clinton adviser says

It might make sense to pick a woman against kamala, but what would be the optics of the change. Plus haley would not do it if things started to look bleak for trump, which they already are a bit.

She puts my teeth to shame. How do I get a smile like that? 😁

Owned a coffee shop, took the bus to work. What a fat cat. She’s probably not even rocking $500, base model dentures like the rest of us centenarians.

pelletbucket , (edited ) in FBI Director Tells Congress Agency Is Unsure if Bullet Actually Hit Trump

is the photo not legit?

*ytf is everybody so bent about a photo from The New York Times

Arbiter ,

There’s no doubt the bullet went near his head, the question is if the bullet itself caused the injury or other shrapnel kicked up along the way.

pelletbucket ,

in the video, it’s the frames after this one when he grabs his ear. I had assumed this was settled

Arbiter ,

I mean, it would be settled if he turned over any medical reports.

lemmeout ,

My guy, the world is 3 dimensions, just because we see the bullet in that pic doesn’t mean we know how close they were flying.

Don’t get me wrong, the bullets were close, but it’s way more likely to get hit from shrapnel than being graded by a bullet just enough to bleed.

Chozo ,

I've always had doubts about that being the bullet. Obviously I'm not an expert, I'm just a guy on the internet so don't take this as anything substantial as this is 100% armchair speculation and I'm fully willing to concede any part of this; but given what I know about the speed of a round fired from an AR-15 and how camera shutter speeds work, I'd assume that if a photographer was lucky enough with their timing like this, that the streak would be significantly longer. These rounds can go upwards of 3000 feet per second, so for the streak to be that small, you'd need an really fast shutter speed. But I don't think this was a particularly fast shutter at all, because there's significant motion blur elsewhere in the photo. The streak also seems to be slightly more in-focus than Trump does, but it's also possible that the photographer had the wrong focal length in the first place.

I dunno, I could be wrong and that could be the most legit photo in the world. It just feels very unlikely to me. It just seemed waaaay too convenient, on top of a rather long list of other individual conveniences that happened that day. I try not to think too much about it, because it's very easy to get conspiratorial about it.

Habahnow , in Newsom orders California state agencies to start clearing homeless encampments

Yeah this seems like BS and a waste of funds. We don’t have enough housing for them so they’re just going to move around somewhere else.

9tr6gyp3 , in Newsom orders California state agencies to start clearing homeless encampments

Can we start stuffing homeless people into rich people’s homes since they have so much real estate available?

walter_wiggles , in Boeing Starliner officials may know ‘root cause’ of issues with astronaut flight

Hello fellow space engineers. I too know the root cause, but I won’t reveal it just yet. Perhaps after the weekend?

PrincessLeiasCat ,

Officials said they were able to recreate how the thrusters in space deteriorated during flight with the ground tests. And the testing may have helped give engineers a better understanding of the issue’s “root cause”: Heat building up inside the thrusters may be causing Teflon seals to bulge, restricting the flow of propellant.

That testing has “given us additional confidence to undock in return,”** **Nappi said.

The article said it.

SMillerNL ,

The hot parts aren’t compatible with high heat sounds right on par for Boeing

WoahWoah , in Elon Musk’s X boosts conspiracy theories that Biden is dead or dying

They’ve created a conspiracy theory about someone dying that isn’t running for reelection…? They’re really struggling with Biden withdrawing from the race aren’t they.

Let’s say he is dying (in a more concrete way than just being in his 80s and statistically being near death) and it influenced his decision to run again. What difference does that make at this point? He already withdrew from the race…?

Not only is this crazy, it’s truly and utterly meaningless and seems like an inability to comprehend change. If this isn’t a metaphor for the ideological ossification and denial of reality at the heart of conservatism, I don’t know what is.

cosmicrookie , (edited ) in Chicken wings advertised as 'boneless' can have bones, Ohio Supreme Court decides
@cosmicrookie@lemmy.world avatar

What is the difference between chicken nuggets and boneless wings? The article mentions that boneless wings are ‘of course’ nuggets of breast meat.

I wonder if they’d have agreed that nuggets can have bones too?

sudo ,

One of the justices literally writes about that. In this article.

“The question must be asked: Does anyone really believe that the parents in this country who feed their young children boneless wings or chicken tenders or chicken nuggets or chicken fingers expect bones to be in the chicken? Of course they don’t,” Justice Michael P. Donnelly wrote in dissent.

@cosmicrookie@lemmy.world avatar

Ah! I didn’t get that far. I must have gotten lost in the ads or missed the ‘read more’ and thought that the article was finished

bamboo ,

Usually a boneless wing is a chunk of meat, with identifiable meat fibers and such. Just a breaded and fried chunk of breast. Whereas chicken nuggets are usually made from ground chicken, often molded into a few different shapes.

proper , in Newsom orders California state agencies to start clearing homeless encampments
@proper@lemmy.world avatar

“Under Newsom’s direction, state agencies — including state parks and the department of transportation — would be required to prioritize clearing encampments that pose safety risks, such as those along waterways. Officials should give “reasonable” advance notice to homeless people, offer to connect them to local services and help store their belongings for at least 60 days. Local cities and counties are urged to adopt similar protocols.”

“This executive order directs state agencies “to move urgently to address dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them.” It also provides guidance for cities and counties to do the same, which applies pressure on them, though they are not legally bound to the order.”

doggle , in AOC's Deepfake AI Porn Bill Unanimously Passes the Senate

Unanimously

While I think ‘deepfake porn is bad’ is pretty uncontroversial, I’m surprised not one senator decided to vote nay just to spite AOC.

motor_spirit , in Cop described Sonya Massey shooting as ‘self-inflicted’ in initial dispatch

“Yeah, I’m good,” Grayson responds. “… You know, what else could we do? I’m not taking hot, boiling water to the f*****g face.”

I hope this scumbag is raped in prison before being stabbed and left to bleed out like a fucking pig by his celly

randon31415 , in AOC's Deepfake AI Porn Bill Unanimously Passes the Senate

How close does the deep fake need to be to the original? What we saw with DALLE2 was that each person whose face was restricted made a hole in the latent space of all faces. After enough celebrities faces were restricted, there were so many latent space holes that the algorithm couldn’t make faces at all since every producable face was a certain “distance” away from a restriction.

Sure, you can make lora training on unconsenting people illegal and also make particular prompts illegal, but there is enough raw data and vague prompts to mold a generation into something that looks like it was done the illegal way without breaking either of those two restrictions.

gnutrino ,

The text of the bill specifies

when viewed as a whole by a reasonable person, is indistinguishable from an authentic visual depiction of the individual.

So it’s not trying to chase specific implementations but using a “reasonable person” test (which I would argue is a good thing)

Would this logic extend to products labeled “alcohol-free”?

“Everyone knows beer has alcohol in it.”

Anything less than 0.5%abv, I think. (Unless, non-alcoholic is classed different)
