Fresh out of wisdom‑teeth surgery, one man took a look at his dogs and was certain he’d stumbled into the Mesozoic Era—an anesthesia mix-up that has millions howling. Tommy DiScipio, known on TikTok as @scipioskincare, recently shared a throwback clip filmed seven years ago after he arrived home from getting his wisdom teeth removed. Stbut I certainly ill heavily under the lingering effects of anesthesia, his brain began filling in its own storyline.

..without disks? It's a unique program that I bought ~30 years ago. PC Study Bible. I bought the original version and have paid for the upgrades plus optional add ons. The owner/operator passed and PC Study Bible ceased to exist. Now I want the ability to transfer the program in its entirety from one PC to another.

While pretending that ICE agents are doing something wrong, liberals stridently demanded they wear bodycams to document their misdeeds. Then Kristi Noem said sure. So now, via Politico: A push to put body cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into a new problem: fear that the technology will provide another avenue for mass surveillance of protesters. Naturally, ICE agents still manage to be the bad guys according to the liberal narrative. This happened before, during the George Floyd riots. The liberal establishment screeched that local police were oppressing blacks. Officers were made to wear bodycams, which then...

Used my Linux Mint 20 Pc to post some text the other day and it disappeared. That supports the theory that it was not just a Windows 11 problem. Rather than wasting any more time with disappearing text, I'm going to retire from Free Republic. RIP.

AI’s abilities have suddenly skyrocketed — is anyone else noticing this?Earlier today I was reading Twotone's post about a BCC piece AI can now 'see' optical illusions. What does it tell us about our own brains?. The article talks about how some AI systems now fall for the same visual tricks we do — the Moon looking bigger on the horizon, that sort of thing. Interesting enough on its own.But that’s not what really got my attention.What it triggered was a much bigger question I’ve been sitting with for a while now: why does it feel like AI’s abilities have...

"Next time, I'm going to kill them," she said. "Don't come back. Don't come back to my house." A Los Angeles mother — on the road and speaking on the phone with her mother, who suddenly started screaming in fear — raced home and rammed a car being used by burglars, video of dramatic confrontation showed. The woman had just gone out to grab coffee at about 11:30 a.m. Saturday and was on the phone with her mother when two masked burglars appeared outside the back sliding door of their house in Sherman Oaks, the family said. "My mom is...

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is "recovering well" after being released from the hospital following his involvement in a car crash in New Hampshire, his business associate told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. Ted Goodman made the remark as New Hampshire State Police continue to investigate the accident that happened Saturday night on Interstate 93 in Manchester. "Mayor Giuliani is recovering well following a motor vehicle accident in which his car was struck from behind. The incident occurred shortly after the mayor and I stopped to assist a person in urgent need of help," Goodman said. "He has...

Ferrero, the Italian candy maker, has agreed to acquire WK Kellogg, the American cereal giant, in a deal valued at $3.1 billion, the companies announced on Thursday. The takeover would combine Ferrero, a family-owned company that makes Tic Tacs, Ferrero Rocher candies and Nutella spreads, with the producer of Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Rice Krispies and other cereals. It represents Ferrero’s latest push to grow its business in North America following a series of acquisitions in recent years, including buying Nestlé’s U.S. confectionary business in 2018. The deal would expand Ferrero’s presence in North America and help the company move...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have found that stevia, when fermented with specific bacteria from banana leaves, gains a remarkable ability to kill pancreatic cancer cells while leaving healthy kidney cells unharmed. This transformation enhances the plant’s natural properties through microbial biotransformation, creating a potent compound called chlorogenic acid methyl ester (CAME). The fermented stevia extract showed significant cancer-fighting potential in lab tests and may represent a new direction in probiotic-based cancer therapies. Stevia’s Surprising Anti-Cancer Potential Stevia might offer more than just a no-calorie alternative to sugar. Scientists at Hiroshima University found that when stevia extract is fermented using bacteria...

IRVINE, Calif. — On the morning of Feb. 28, 2000, a man in a black hood ran up to Patrick Riley in front of his office, shot him flush in the face and fled. The bullet missed his brain, and Mr. Riley, a biotechnology entrepreneur, survived. But two days later, his business partner, a doctor named Larry C. Ford, killed himself with a shotgun after learning he was suspected of being the mastermind behind the shooting. That is where the story probably would have ended — a lurid but ultimately local piece of intrigue played out in the sun-splashed Orange...

The billionaire creator of Rockstar Energy has listed for sale a property in Utah for $50 million - less than a year after he officially acquired it for $39.4 million. Russ Weiner, 53, founded the drinks company in 2001 but sold it to Pepsi in 2020 for a deal worth more than $4 billion, according to Forbes. This luxurious six-bedroom, 11-bathroom ski house may have been an impulse purchase, however, as Weiner says he hasn't slept a single night there and reportedly said the stunning property was 'better than new'. The 17,500 square-foot house sits on on five acres of...

News of the weird is nothing compared to the weirdness of the regular news these days. The Murray, Kentucky, Police Department recently noted it received a complaint about a man intentionally releasing a raccoon inside a business on the evening of June 6. According to a report from The Blaze, the animal subsequently bit a patron. The man, 40-year-old Jonathan Mason, was arrested just six months earlier for being drunk and disorderly — and trying to leave a bar … on a mule. (One jackass atop another.) I’ve always been a fan of weird news. In fact, I used to...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — For the first time ever, parts of Alaska will be under a heat advisory — but you can put an asterisk at the end of that term. It's not the first instance of unusually high temperatures in what many consider the nation's coldest state, but the National Weather Service only recently allowed for heat advisories to be issued there. Information on similarly warm weather conditions previously came in the form of "special weather statements." Using the heat advisory label could help people better understand the weather's severity and potential danger, something a nondescript "special weather statement" didn't...

Video at link. Here's the text that Mr. Casler provided to describe his video: The FCC has issued a Public Notice called an "FCC Enforcement Advisory," Number DA 18-980, dated 24 Sept 2018. It essentially makes worthless nearly all Chinese-made UHF/VHF ham radio handhelds imported into the country over nearly a decade that can also transmit outside the ham bands (which is nearly all of them).

Have you or a loved one lost your connection with the Drudge Report due to the overwhelming Left lean the news aggregator has taken as of recent? Well, I have great news: The White House has launched their very own Drudge Report, called "The White House Wire." https://www.whitehouse.gov/wire/ So now, instead of scrolling the Drudge Report itself and being bombarded with anti-Trump leftism, you can log onto The White House Wire and get stories like this: And these: The site needs a little work to match the format of Drudge, but it'll get there. The White House Wire is a...

A woman who lives on a cruise for free for half the year has revealed all the perks that come with it – and the one “weird” thing she can’t do. Christine Kesteloo, who is originally from the US and lives in the Netherlands when she’s not sailing, has visited a whopping 109 countries and counting. The 44-year-old doesn’t cook, clean, make her bed, do laundry or pay for food, and it’s all thanks to her husband Pete’s role as a chief engineer for the Holland America Line cruise company. Christine, who documents her life at sea for her almost...
