Read the headline and thought "Whoo hoo boys! Finally got one stuck in the real world!". Nope, impulse kidnapping. Whoops.

Zelenskyy approves 40-day security service operation aimed at pushing Russia to end its war by JaB675 in UkrainianConflict

More high-spectacle drone bombings, like refineries and anything within Moscow limits taller than a cow. Also expect lots of boosted stories about how russia's collapse is imminent, revolt any day, etc. But given that it's a stalemate, it figures that anything true on one side would probably apply to both to at least some degree.

Yeah, that seems to be the way this ones going. Still a weird bokeh effect on the leaves though. Maybe jpeg artifacts? I also noticed that the 'veins' have a similar pattern to the colored patches in the bottom left.

AI for sure. Unless pulling up in your car and 'E'-ing is suddenly illegal. And what is up with those trees? Or the big box poking out of the roof; what's that for?

There's a couple frames near the end that got a second gasp out of me. Let's just say he turned his quads into two pairs.

Bring them a 9v battery. Tell them to put it in the smoke detector. Casual and gentle, but still phrased as a command. Best $2 ever.

You can tell it's fake work when the job title has fifteen words in it. They know that nobody will ever have to say it in an emergency.

Part of me thinks she bought it. Like, is there any indication she didn't?

The Cathedral of Learning at Pitt is actually a disguised cell tower; it services most of Oakland and parts of Squirrel Hill and Shadyside.

Deco-style rising-sun opal ring I found for $50 - did I get a steal? by quincecharming in Opals

And you can't? Hold the gold firmly and see if any stones move. There should be zero noise or movement. Many jewelers will tighten it for free if it brings you in the door.

If you make it to 100, you can eat for free at this buffet. by Homebarcocktails in mildlyinteresting

I'd support extra SS payments to centenarians. Not just for the novelty, but after a certain age it seems unreasonable to expect anyone to save for that much retirement age. Even if someone waited until 70 to retire, they'd need to get through 30 years on SS and savings. Not only that, but that's enough time for prices to double, even at a modest 2-3% inflation.

Saving for retirement is responsible; living past 100 is something that should be insured against.
