Arizona GOP governor candidate Kari Lake makes waves across the MAGA-verse, Adidas cuts ties with Kanye West following his anti-Semitic comments, reports show only 5% of plastic waste from U.S. households was recycled last year, and McDonald’s McRib returns for possibly the last time. #DailyShow #Comedy

Questionable footage has displayed the “nasty” process behind creating the McDonald’s McRib burger, with many customers vowing to never order the item again.A video shared to Twitter this week evoked repulsion from thousands of viewers after it showed frozen blocks of the “rib” product being slapped onto a grill in batches of six.
Once thawed, the items, which had been preformed into riblike shapes, were taken from the grill and placed into pullout containers filled with thick brown sauce.
The slabs were then placed on top of onion and pickles on a lightly toasted bun before being closed into a box and sent down a chute to fulfill an order.
Meadows has to testify in Fulton County. It’s a state court order, so he can’t get a stay from SCOTUS.

re: #3 Shropshire Slasher
When I had my brief job at a McDonalds, that was how all sandwiches were made (without the brown sauce).
The pullout drawer warmers are still in use today: McDonalds rules (when I worked for them) said items could not remain in the warmer more than ten minutes (there is a timer on each drawer). The warmer drawers themselves go to the dishwasher as soon as they are empty.
The warmers help during high-traffic times like lunch.
I don’t know why the Post says the process of making a McRib (or any other sandwich there really) is “nasty.”
re: #3 Shropshire Slasher
Sounds exactly like how I thought they were made. We’re people expecting McDonald’s to kill the cow/pig and cook it right when you order it?

It’s to play off the popular conception that fast food is inherently unsafe.

Look, we get it, fast food isn’t a paragon of nutritional virtue. Anybody who goes to a fast food restaurant and expects a well-balanced, thoughtfully prepared meal is trolling for clicks.

Just watched the video, never been a big McRib fan, but that seems like pretty much exactly the process I would expect. While not the most appetizing thing in the world, how else would anyone think they are made. No grosser than most fast foods.
Although I am sure the processing behind the McRib is not a pretty thing. Probably much like the McNugget, only with pork.

re: #3 Shropshire Slasher
Why would this process be considered unusually “nasty”? Thawing frozen stuff, then grilling it and slapping it together to order is SOP for an enormous number of fast-food outlets throughout the country (or world, for that matter). As long as the “manufacturing” process is sanitary, and the frozen storage conditions clean - not to mention the prep/serving environment - what difference does it make?
PS: Bias disclaimer: I like the McRib. A nice change from the burgers, IMO. Even without the bones.
And I see that Texas schools are still as obsessed with girls’ clothing as they were 50 years ago. The difference is this woman’s younger daughter was killed in the Uvalde massacre.

Many in the Roman military were from the provinces. Military service was the path to citizenship for those who were not born a citizen of Rome.

They think that Biblical morality states that any non-cisgender-heterosexual identity is sinful and unnatural, so therefore, while those are all OK - none of those violate their idea of Biblical norms - gays, transgendered folk, cross-dressers, and the like are all “sexual perverts” and therefore must be shunned.

I don’t necessary look at these a weaknesses, just limitations of the current system. And the community itself calls it machine learning to separate it from actual intelligence, artificial or otherwise.
Now, what’s actually interesting is to think of those in terms of what people would create, even if they were taught to draw. Could most people create Escher’s works?

re: #133 Belafon
These imaging AI networks are geared towards two-dimensional images. Something like Escher, who portrays impossible 3-D objects on two dimensional, will require 3-D modeling of impossible objects that the AI just don’t do.
It’s analogous to the problem with literary AI. They are fine for essays and copy-work, but they don’t do as well with irony because irony depends upon the reader’s own context.

Then I started driving coworkers crazy with horrible percussion habit tapping it on-a metal coffee mug during meetings—and my hand hurt every day. I stopped wearing the ring 10 years ago.

I haven’t and will never ride a motorcycle but I did bicycle for awhile and always wore a helmet. Years before we met and before there were bike helmets, my husband was in a bicycle accident where he sustained 7(?) skull fractures. The doctors were initially unsure whether he would make it but he was fortunate to survive without any long term mental or physical damage. Once helmets were available, he wore them religiously.
A very different situation from riding a motorcycle, where impacts are usually at much higher speeds.

Broken record here! Broken record here! As a glass half empty type of person, I always tend to believe bad news and discount good news. In the contemporary world, I haven’t believed polls are worth the pixels that display them for many years. It doesn’t matter how many responses a poll has if the responses are not from an accurate reflection of the voting community. People do not answer phones, they ignore emails and letters, and they won’t talk to those knocking at their doors.
What happened in Kansas re the abortion referendum may happen nationwide: the polls were totally ineffective at predicting the actual vote. And in the current world with breaking news (when it’s really breaking) potentially turning everything around on a daily basis and a devastating war in Europe with potential threats of nuclear weapons, all we can be certain about — is that we cannot be certain about anything. We will know what happens after the votes are in and counted. The fact this is so close is appalling for our democracy and the future of this world.
