While the headline makes it sound like three different airlines banned her, this is actually just one company, since Alaska already owned Horizon, and then Alaska and Hawaiian merged last year.
Incidentally, as a gold member of that of that company's loyalty program, this news makes me even happier that Alaska is my go-to airline.
I had read previously (and just confirmed on Wikipedia) that Mia Khalifa (real name Sarah Joe Chamoun) got her stage name from her dog, Mia, and Wiz Khalifa.
So, familiarity with Wiz Khalifa is directly relevant to knowing how Mia Khalifa's name is spelled.
About 20 years ago (or so), they replaced the copper roofs on the parliament buildings in Ottawa. I remember reading comments from people upset that they replaced the lovely matte green with bright shiny orange metal.
This is a very old topic, such that IMO, it's not worth putting in the effort to discuss it online. Fortunately, it's also a very well-researched topic.
For the question of whether disruptive protests help or hurt, the answer seems to be slightly more on the "help" side (mostly in terms of drawing attention, as I understand it). Here is a recent article that looks into the question in depth: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13064859/
Horizon Forbidden West added a "photo mode", I think mostly just to show off how good the graphics can be (when nothing is being animated). It does look awesome. If you zoom the camera in, you get anatomically correct facial features.
There might also be some conversation scenes with close-ups of Aloy. Depending on your graphics settings, you might get some extra details rendered.
I am absolutely convinced that the game is not rendering fine hairs while you're fighting robot dinosaurs, since, as you suggest, that would be kind of ridiculous.
But, hey, you really kicked the shit out of that straw man! Great job!
It doesn't even look like rosemary. Rosemary comes off from the branch as a "pointy" leaf (like a wide pine needle). That looks like rosemary with thyme growing out of the tip of each leaf.
A fun counterpoint to the "albums weren't meant to be shuffled" argument is Apollo 18 by TMBG.
On the track list, "Fingertips" is track 17, followed by "Space Suit" at track 38. That's because Fingertips is actually 21 mini songs (mostly 10 seconds or less), each with their own track, that are supposed to appear randomly between full songs when you listen on shuffle.
On the other hand, modern streaming services usually just have a single track for Fingertips, so I'm now used to hearing those 21 mini songs in the original, "play it straight through" order.
Yeah... I imagine that Sony already knows what countries they're selling into (like for regulatory reasons). Either they'll expand PSN into those countries or they'll cut some off.
This isn't like games on Steam requiring a PSN account (which Sony and/or Valve should have handled better). A digital-only PS6 should only sell in jurisdictions where people can buy content.
I don't agree with Sony's approach, but this article is not saying anything interesting. "OMG, unless Sony expands the Playstation store, people in 121 countries won't be able to buy games for their PS6s!" No... The PS6 won't sell in those 121 countries unless Sony expands the Playstation store, since it will be a brick.
I was reading this thread and was thinking of recommending Treme.
I would say that if you watched The Wire and liked the way that David Simon used each season to look at different facets of heroin crime in Baltimore, then Treme offers something similar for post-Katrina New Orleans. The difference is that you get the different lenses on New Orleans from start to finish, as the story follows characters who embody different facets of the city.
Because each episode tells a few minutes of each of these stories, and the stories focused on music (which is obviously very important to understanding New Orleans) need to take the time to play whole songs, it's a very slow-moving show. I watched it when it was airing and waiting a week to advance each story just a bit was agonizing. Maybe bingeing it feels faster.
The acting, writing, and direction are all very good.
Oh, I remember the controversy about that show! For Love, Death, and Robots season 1, Netflix randomly put people in one of four buckets (probably a hash of your account ID mod 4 or something), and your bucket determined your episode order.
Apparently, they thought it would be a neat way to present an anthology series (since order doesn't matter). Conspiracy theories arose that Netflix had sussed out peoples' sexual orientation and were using that to determine the episode order.

The median US salary is $65k.
I don't have it on Steam yet, but I have Balatro's Completionist++ on mobile.
I'm working on getting it on Steam too. Once you've done it once, getting it again isn't hard, just time-consuming. It's a 0.2% achievement, I think.

Specifically, I think it's a reference to Dean Browning.
Yeah! That's why I put all of my secrets directly into the code.

Doucy was term-limited and didn't run in 2022. Hobbs beat Kari Lake.

Thank you for the reminder! After seeing this post, I cleaned the infuser for my Dinamica.

Because of the implication?
Hey, fellow sobernauts! Today marks two weeks of not drinking with you every day.
I won't say it's been easy, but I'm sleeping a lot better and my face is noticeably less puffy, so yay!
