@CityNewsVAN Vancouverites getting bent over for FIFA

The BC Sports Hall of Fame says it has been ordered to shut down for two months to make room for an international media centre during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and it won’t be getting any compensation. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/05/07/van…

@kuina_ch 短期間のトーナメントは疲弊とかもあるから、疲弊した最強よりも4番手が勝つこともある。 なので一番強い=勝ち残るわけでもないのが残酷かつ面白いところ

8人でトーナメントをしたとき、1番強い人は必ず1位になりますが、2番目に強い人は、1回戦で1番強い人に当たると1回戦敗退になり、逆に運が良ければ5番目に強い人が2位になることもありえるので、トーナメントの2位以降はあまり信用できません…？

@bagofbananass @somethings_awry The third one.

@somethings_awry With which hand

You receive: one delicious plate of peanut butter I receive: nothing, you are getting a plate of peanut butter because I love you and only that reason, don't turn around or look down or look at your paws or pay attention to any noise

@govtworstfear @FSAPOJake @pcgamer To be fair, OSRS is just a game. The people who really care about the market are Jagex, GE flippers, and "investors". 99% of people just don't care about this invisible stuff at play, and rightfully so. Venezuelans are just the people they PK at revs for a quick mil.

@rayelgun @FSAPOJake @pcgamer i tried explaining this to my clan chat recently and about half of them just could not wrap their heads around it. idk why it’s such a commonly held view

@migamilk @sham_exe The guy who invented Oauth.

@sham_exe You have the guy that invented captchas and the guy that invented 2fa in a room. You have a gun with one bullet, wyd?

my stupid ass coworker has spent the past month implementing MFA into everything to “make it so that we don’t need to use passwords anymore!!” and now i have to get my phone out like 10 times a day just to sign into random shit

@jyunkourokai @rsxsupremacy @CHA_0327 In this comic it'd be quite cumbersome. "How is your day going?" "It is going good, how about yours?" Something straight out of an English learners skit video

@rsxsupremacy @CHA_0327 japanese people know a bunch of random english words but flail when it comes to actual conversation

英語教育

@jyunkourokai @rsxsupremacy @CHA_0327 It's an unfortunate byproduct of shortcuts in american conversation. If you want to make it easier you'd literally have to use fully constructed sentences from English learners book and simple language.

@omofade @nexta_tv Yep, some days when I don't feel like working I just tell the clients to come into the branch after 20 minutes of "bringing up your account now"

@nexta_tv The customer service did the right thing. They were guarding against mistakes. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

The Pope failed a bank security check — they simply didn’t believe him Pope Leo XIV tried to update his details with a U.S. bank where he holds an account. He personally called customer support, answered security questions, and asked to change his phone number and address. But the bank employee refused to make any changes and told him to come to a branch in person. The pontiff then asked, “What if I tell you I’m Pope Leo?” — the operator simply hung up. The story was shared by the Pope’s close friend, priest Tom McCarthy. According to The New York Times, the issue was later resolved.

@FSAPOJake @pcgamer Jagex is not the money printer of GP. The Venezuelans are. They farmed more GP than ever because its more profitable and due to the country being unstable. Bonds are the stable commodity (REAL gold.) while GP is cash (printed, vulnerable to inflation and market dynamics)

@rayelgun @pcgamer The price of bonds only slightly steadily went up from 2016 to 2023, and then suddenly went up significantly as soon as Jagex started raising the price of membership and bonds. It's not a coincidence.

@FSAPOJake @pcgamer The REAL price of a bond did not change. (7-8 USD) The value of gold was decreased because of oversupply. 7.5m for bond mid 2023, approx 15m nowadays. Bonds USD dont cost double last time I checked

@FSAPOJake @pcgamer Bonds cost around 7 USD and only raised very recently. It did not multiply in price. Bonds is set at 7-8USD by Jagex. The amount of gold exchanged is determined by the Venezuelans and how much they value hourly rate. The price of bonds did not ramp up like this chart.

@FSAPOJake @pcgamer Unfortunately, Bondflation is real. OSRS GP is devalued when bonds tick up in real world price.

@pcgamer OSRS gold is legitimately more stable than most real-world currencies and certainly most crypto currencies.

@hrlynicole Ran the stats on this and apparently 75% ±25% of people are losing the 50/50

WARNING!! DO NOT PULL FOR PROMEIA sources say this banner is cursed, more than 60% of people are losing their 50/50 to this banner. stay safe everyone

@erik260179 @Kronicsuperstar @ChesterM222 Have to pay the people writing up the paperwork somehow

@Kronicsuperstar @ChesterM222 Why would the city charge itself $60million dollars for permits ?

Why does it cost $300m to rebuild a pool?

@Popstonox They gave that hormussy 2 fat red lines

Hasan Piker reacts to CNN referring to Iranian naval chokepoint as the Strait of Hormussy "A widening of Iranian control over the Strait of Hormussy area" Piker: "Confirmed! We're having an impact."

@tidalelegies Haven't seen any anti-meta gatekeepers for a hot minute

"real doctors clear the game only using their favs" ok well maybe all my faves are just the busted ones buddy

@Wario64 There isn't any internal documentation... Please give me the firmware source code and internals.

@_gothhardt_ Quick and easy trick still works on all major models

no fucking way

@1_missthesun @Pirat_Nation The key point is that its not an opt in scenario. When I load a Youtube video, I want to watch the video. Not everyone wants to use Gemini. The opt in rate for these features is low.

Google Chrome is quietly downloading a roughly 4 GB AI model to many users’ computers without clear upfront consent. The file, called weights.bin, is part of Google’s Gemini Nano on-device language model and lands in the browser’s user data folder under OptGuideOnDeviceModel. It powers built-in AI tools such as “Help me write,” smarter tab suggestions, on-device scam detection, and page summarization. The download triggers automatically for devices meeting minimum hardware requirements, and Chrome often replaces the files if deleted. While the model processes data locally, installation happens in the background with minimal notification. The scale is noteworthy. Hundreds of millions or billions of installations add up to thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions globally from data transfer, even though each is a one-time event. To prevent or remove it, go to chrome://flags, disable the entries for the optimization guide on-device model and Prompt API, restart the browser, and manually delete the folder.

@fEcklund_ @BobDEithKC I literally live next to an oil refinery in Calgary, why is my gas price an extra 50 cents per gallon. Iran has nothing to do with me

@BobDEithKC Global oil prices have nothing to do with domestic pricing. If that were true, gas in IRAN wouldn't be 15 CENTS PER GALLON.

😣 Trevor…you know that oil ⛽️ prices are set globally and local gas prices would not be impacted by a pipeline. You know that it is because of the war in Iran. Stop misleading the public man.
