He confessed and there's physical evidence that he did it, or they gave him full case file to read, before every 'confession', like with Lucas?

Probably a combination of stuff like DNA evidence, details of the murders that weren't made public, location of bodies that hadn't been found before, etc.

Maybe it is, no info on it though.

No report whether the deer was on drugs.

"A lot of people lean toward the aliens," Jenkins says. "One caller had told us to look for basically a depression under the carcass. 'Cause he said that the alien ships will kinda beam the cow up and do whatever they are going to do with it. Then they just drop them from a great height."
Obviously!

@dcon So the chupacabras have made it as far north as Oregon now?

But that is literally what it's called.

No no, it's Human Immunodeficiency Virus Virus!

I'm going to have to re-evaluate
and start using a second SIM for this kind of stuff.
I should probably keep a Google alert for my bank being involved in this sort of crap.

In internet literalness, sure. In actual literal terms, no, it's called HIV. Which is literally not HI Virus.
-
@boomzilla Colloquially, sure. But "tracking the HIV" sounds weird, too.

Yes, you'd probably want to say, "Tracking HIV," which doesn't.

@TimeBandit Question is if it works on humans as well. That would be really useful.
(Maybe there's a pattern that both does this and defeats face/people detection methods. At that point, who cares about fashion anymore?)

Politicians, like diapers, need to be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

A man has apparently been spotted having sex with a traffic bollard in a busy Doncaster road.

And yet the news section on their own website doesn't mention this.
All I know is they 3D-printed "small-scale muscle tissue".

@MrL #NotMyPC

@MrL said in In other news today...:
Not my PC, that's for sure.
i think this is for the reboot of the remaster? not the original (which is still probably the best game in the series) nor the remaster itself (which was shite for being bundled with a crap game, and for deciding not to bundle the original DLC maps, instead forcing you to pay more for them in the remaster than they were sold for in the original..... also there's rumors of microtransactions baked into the remaster?)
-
@Vixen Times like this I wish the great title fire of 2012 hadn't happened, and people could make new things with new names instead of reusing the names from old things.

You only need to read the headline, to know the article was written by a German.

@error I didn’t realize that comic was by Scott Aaronson.
It’s not exactly relevant, though, as the article doesn’t make such wrong claims. In fact, Aaronson himself has discussed the news at length.

Should cameras replace car mirrors?
It seems to work well on the Mercedes trucks, although some of the advantage on a truck might not apply in a car.
-
@Dragoon said in In other news today...:
Should cameras replace car mirrors?
No. They should augment them, definitely. But the technological nature of cameras presents a whole new set of problems that makes relying exclusively on cameras problematic.
For example:
- mirrors literally work at the speed of light; cameras introduce a frame rate and a non-zero amount of lag
- environmental conditions (rain, snow, mud, etc) degrades the camera experience far more significantly than the mirror experience
- cameras are easily dazzled by bright lights, washing out significant portions of the entire image; mirrors are not
- cameras only work when they are actively powered; mirrors work passively and constantly as long as there's light to see by
Cameras definitely have some very significant advantages over mirrors, but they also have enough significant disadvantages that replacing mirrors entirely with cameras is a very bad idea. The ideal solution is to use both.

@Mason_Wheeler said in In other news today...:
cameras are easily dazzled by bright lights ... mirrors are not
My eyes are dazzled when a bright light reflects off a mirror.
-
@loopback0 Sure, but that's not what I was talking about. The camera on my car, if a bright light shines at it, will wash out half the screen. The mirrors on my car show the bright light exactly where it is and nowhere else.
