By next month you won't be able to tell.
That's the point of AI, it learns, constantly. Give it a year and you will not be able to tell fake from real.

Reply to comment by Lost_Hunter3601 in ‘Sherlock’ Star Amanda Abbington Says “Nepotism” Helped Her Land Role In BBC Drama by Neo2199
It's not really about nepotism per se, it's about these so-called nepo babies acting like they got to where they are now all because of their hard work and being better than others. They refuse to acknowledge that nepotism played a major part in that. That's the real issue at hand.
They would have never gotten there without nepotism.

Pirating is way more convenient though. I can download a higher quality release faster than searching through a handfull of streaming sites.

People now in their 40/50s are the ones who started the whole pirate scene with BBS's, they're the ones who are more likely to still pirate compared to the 15 - 30 age group.

CD-rom/BR players in computers/laptops hasn't been a thing for over a decade.

Yet they've all been released with excuses from the justice department..
So yea.. guess if you're Russian and want to take drone shots of the natural beauty of Norway you're immediately labeled a spy.
The paranoia of people is insane these days.

That's like the dummest take ever.
There isn't even any proof that this was a sabotage attempt, let alone who was behind it.

There is as much proof that the US was behind that as there is that Russia is behind it.
All the affected countries (Norway, Germany, Denmark) have been investigating it since the start and there is no proof that Russia was behind it, or that it even was a sabotage.

Reply to Just finished season 1 of True Detective, would like some more stuff exactly like that please. by Mally_Mac
I always assume that people who love Breaking Bad are people who had never seen a good tv show prior and this was the first time (probably because of age) that they experienced one. Cause lets be honest, it's not groundbreaking. It's an average network show.
But nostalgia muddies the waters a lot.

The Vasa went down in the Baltic Sea.
> The Baltic Sea preserves underwater cultural heritage extremely well primarily due to the low light, low salinity and cold temperature that prevent the proliferation of the Naval Shipworm (Teredo navalis), which devours submerged wood
The Vasa is the exception rather that the rule. Most shipwrecks can't be raised, just like the one we're talking about in this post.

Reply to comment by not_creative1 in Starlink Is ‘Forced’ To Finally Start Caring About The System’s Light Pollution And Harm To Scientific Research by Albion_Tourgee
Nah fuck Starlink. This isn't just about researchers and scientists, this is about everyone. If Starlink puts up all 45k satellites then say goodbye to any nice sunset/sunrise photo you want to make. Say goodbye to any nightshot you want to make.
All your photos will be ruined with lightstreaks.
Most third world countries have better/cheaper internet than America, they don't need Starlink.
The people who want Starlink the most are Americans who want to live in the middle of nowhere but don't want to pay for good non-satellite internet.

But the thng is, the soils is so dry it's like cement. The water isn't penetrating, it just flows over it.
So it's not helping one iota.

Venice only made flood gates. The were finished in 2020 and they seem to work well, but they are just flood gates, not actual permanent defenses. So it's not sure they will work against rising sea levels.

What is it with people who simply won't believe what actual experts are saying and instead will make up their own version of events?
It's like, here are people who studied for decades to reach the knowledge they have now accompanied with the best scientific research available but nope, not good enough for me, I'll make up my own reality.

Lesson number one when it comes to conservatives/republicans; it's always projection.
There is a reason why most people who get caught in some hush hush gay lovers quarrel are republicans. It's their thing so they assume others are the same as well.
