As you can find in the link, Robot Carnival is an older animated anthology movie from 1987 with a similar scifi focus. It’s by no means the same beyond that though, but still a good watch if you’re a fan of scifi animation....
Thanks for the rec! While we’re here, if you haven’t seen the show “Love, Death, and Robots” I could highly recommend it for fans of The Animatrix. Anthology series with different studios for each episode. Many of them are dark & violent sci-fi, while others are funny & light-hearted.
The city of Gretna, Louisiana, in the shadow of New Orleans, brings in more money through fines and related fees than some larger cities in the state. An investigation by WVUE-TV and ProPublica shows that much of that money comes from drivers who rack up multiple violations and hefty fines....
Read through the article, and yeah honestly I struggled to find the point. Seems like this specific town gets a ton of money from cops dinging people with minor infractions, but I didn’t see any suggestion that the cops were somehow inflating that number. Sounds like a lot of people there can’t afford the ticket, so they ignore the summons and get dinged again for not showing up.
Sooooo yeah, the data suggests something is fucky, but it’s not like cops are breaking into garages to ticket people, so what’s actually happening?
Begging people on the internet to buy you things on an Amazon wishlist doesn’t give the impression you’re actually caring for a mom cat & her kittens.
If you genuinely need help, reach out to your nearest animal shelter or vet. If you’re unable to afford food for them, vets/shelters can help connect you to cat food & other resources to help. They may also be able to help you re-home them.

Ortiz was facing disciplinary action during the time of his crimes due to an “alleged medical mistake” he made during one of his surgeries that resulted in his patient not breathing during a routine procedure, the criminal complaint shows. Ortiz was at risk of losing his medical license due to the mistake, according to prosecutors.
Ortiz believed the surgical center was trying to “crucify” him for the mistake, particularly when he would be financially devastated if he lost his job, the criminal complaint said.
Sounds like he was trying to sabotage the whole place because he made a mistake during a surgery & was mad at possibly losing his license.
In the 1980s, my father wrote a book that an analysis and annotation of another well-known book which is now in the public domain. My family owns the rights to this annotation (we checked with the press that put it out). I think it would make a really good eBook if someone wanted to scan it all in, digitize it, and turn all the...
Check your local public library, if possible! Many libraries are equipped with scanners for digitizing local newspapers and so on. Librarians might also have connections elsewhere with book scanners.
Could anyone broad-stroke the security requirements for something like this? Looks like they’ll pay for hosting up to a certain amount, and between that and a pipeline to keep the mirror updated I’d think it wouldn’t be tough to get one up and running.
Just looking for theory - what are the logistics behind keeping a mirror like this secure?
