I was certain that when I wrote the “Closer Renaissance” column a few weeks ago that the proverbial poop would hit the metaphorical fan. But … it hasn’t. Somehow, by the grace of the fantasy gods, Huston Street is still healthy, the Tigers are still calling Joe Nathan the closer, and Jake Petricka is still fantasy-relevant (as of this writing). In fact, since the July 31 trade deadline, there have been no official closer changes....
The Tigers are not going to pretend that's the case, and neither should anyone else. As reigning American League MVP Miguel Cabrera says, "Even before (the bankruptcy), we wanted to do something for the city. We want to get a championship before that, before last year, and before two years ago. We're working for that any year. We want to go out and do that and win some games." Detroit is looking for 11 more wins after collecting 93 during the regular season....
Instagram will begin incorporating features specific to NFT adopters any day now, as revealed in an official interview with CEO Mark Zuckerberg. What does this mean exactly? Certain US-based Instagram users will receive the ability to display NFTs on their feed, and in their stories and messages. These details are available to other users by looking at profiles and posts, as NFTs are displayed similarly to products and other tagged profiles....
Now those who are prone to social media updates every day do not like the concept of their favorite application going down, especially on their special day. Instagram down 2022 has also begun with the February doom for thousands of users. Those who can understand this situation well will try to find the ways out when Instagram keeps stopping on their phone and the app shows high glitches. In this blog we will help you sort these issues – why is Instagram not working in 2022....
Why Host Your Own Git Service on Raspberry Pi Instead of Using GitHub? With 55 million users, GitHub is the largest repository of free and open source software on Earth, but its current owner, Microsoft, is not a natural fit for the role of custodian. Previous CEOs of the company described Linux and the General Public License as “a cancer”, and most of Microsoft’s own products are proprietary and closed source....
According to the latest analysis from YouTube channel Moore’s Law Is Dead, there is a good chance that Intel won’t be able to release its range of GPUs until sometime in April at the earliest, with one source saying that some of the high-end products could be out as late as June 2022. While there doesn’t appear to be any official statement about any delays, or even why it may have been pushed back, it’s been speculated that it could be related to the drivers, and that the company will only want to release its graphics cards when the software side of it is in a satisfactory state....
According to a report, shares in Intel fell more than 8% last Thursday, with Gelsinger believing that this is likely due to the ongoing component shortages that have been ravaging the tech world for about a year now. He went on to say that there is still a lot of PC demand at the moment, and while each quarter next year will see improvements, the shortage of semiconductors will continue until 2023....
You might also recognise the actor playing Justin. Yes, it’s the same ‘I’m a Mac’ guy from in Apple’s own PC vs Mac adverts from the 2000s. Apple recently revived the ‘I’m a PC’ guy at the end of its Mac-themed November event, although it seems a lot has changed for his rival in the intervening decade. Intel’s clips aim to demonstrate five key areas where PCs powered by their silicon beat MacBooks all ends up....
Last week the Federation of American Scientists made public a U.S. Army field manual, stamped FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY, outlining procedures for open-source intelligence collection by Army units. The manual says Army agents “must use Government computers to access the Internet” unless they have special authorization to do otherwise. One U.S. official, who asked for anonymity when discussing sensitive information, said that, in an effort to track people behind Web sites giving detailed instructions on how to build sophisticated IEDs, counterterrorism experts two years ago asked Pentagon brass for permission to log on to the Web sites using fake identities....
U.S. officials say some of the latest intelligence coming out of Iran is so alarming even State Department diplomats who have favored talking with the ayatollahs now wonder who in Tehran can be trusted. Some U.S. officials fear the Iranian government has now splintered into three major factions: a reformist, or “moderate” faction, personified by the elected president, Mohammed Khatami; a hard-line faction, led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme religious leader, and an ultra-hard-line faction of no-name spooks and extremist clerics who secretly pursue radical policies, such as the clandestine support of terrorists, in a way that gives public hard-liners “deniability....
Tallarico, a game composer known for, among other things, the creation of the “oof!” sound effect from Roblox, has been effusive on Twitter about the merits of the Amico. In a bid to return Intellivision to the heady heights of its popularity in the 80s, the company is seeking to bring a Wii U-esque console into the homes of prospective consumers, with gameplay shared between a main screen and a small display on a controller....
The Italian football club have been reportedly interested in the Manchester City striker and the 29-year-old Argentine might be looking forward to a possible Premier League exit. Tevez is one of the possible targets for the Milan-based side as they are looking to buy a proven goal-scorer in this summer. The former Manchester United striker has been fined and ordered to do 250 hours of community service after pleading guilty to driving while disqualified; but his fine form on-the-field has seen him score 7 goals in previous 6 games in all the competitions....
In case you didn’t know… Mauro Icardi was stripped of his captaincy for Inter Milan over six weeks ago and he has not played a single game for the side since. A lot of the problems between the club and Icardi stem from his sour attitude, which fans believe was starting to affect the players around him. Icardi finally returned to training last week after Inter officials had to negotiate with his lawyer to get him to show up, but, even then, he was left out of their game against Lazio by Spalletti....
For example, players can find a retro gaming magazine that has a picture of Ciri on it, a Roach Race arcade game, the Wolf School Jacket, and a Barn Swallow (in an ending). Another one that stands out is how many Cyberpunk 2077 NPCs play a song from The Witcher 3 on their guitar, but one NPC stands out from the others. RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077 Has a Cute Witcher 3 Easter Egg...
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a massive game with a myriad of colorful characters and interesting locations to explore while going on various quests as the famous Geralt of Rivia, the cat-eyed Witcher that hunts down monsters for pay. New players can be overwhelmed when first jumping into the Continent, so it may be prudent for fans to try out a comprehensive guide for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to give them a bit of an edge in the unforgiving world full of monsters and other enemies....
Anatomy Veins carry deoxygenated blood from organs, muscles, and other structures back to the heart. They typically have a lower blood pressure than arteries. While their walls are thinner, veins are usually larger in diameter than arteries and hold about 80% of the body’s total blood, whereas arteries typically only circulate 20% of the blood. Structure The walls of the internal jugular vein consist of three layers: The tunica adventitia, or the outermost layer of the vein’s wall, is the thickest of all layers....
The European giants are in the midst of final preparations for the Confederations Cup which begins on Saturday but Azzurri coach Cesare Prandelli paid the price for fielding a weakened line-up, as Haiti pulled off one the most unexpected results in their modest history. Juventus midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini scored the fastest goal in Italian history when he struck after just 19 seconds and club teammate Claudio Marchisio appeared to have put Prandelli’s men in full control with a second goal 18 minutes before half-time....
Not Quite With the Quotation Your article “Dealing With the Dear Leader” (Feb. 17) contains a quote attributed to me, concerning Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s participation on the board of directors of ABB Corp., that was edited in a manner that leaves an inaccurate impression of his recollection. My full quote was, “There was no vote on this issue and Secretary Rumsfeld does not recall it being brought before the board at any time,” which is far less equivocal than your edited quote makes it appear....
Posting in Reddit’s “Malicious Compliance” forum under the username u/Karamist623, the woman wrote: “[A] car dealer told me to come back when I ‘knew what I was talking about.’” The story amassed 8,200 upvotes and 1,200 supportive comments. Women reportedly buy 62 percent of all new cars in the U.S. and influence more than 85 percent of all car purchases, said Forbes. Yet, a 2019 survey from AutoTrader revealed that 94 percent of women don’t trust dealerships, and 40 percent “dread” the car buying process, reported Erin Baker, a member of Lamborghini’s Female Advisory Board....
