A big biometric security company in the UK, Facewatch, is in hot water after their facial recognition system caused a major snafu - the system wrongly identified a 19-year-old girl as a shoplifter.
Romance is in the air as the queens impersonate celebrities in the Snatch Game of Love. But when two All Stars want to play the same celeb, things get spicy! Meanwhile, a twist means that more badges are up for grabs! Pop superstar Anitta stops by.
I am not a fan of either of the last two lipsyncs... I'm missing the sassy element, idk.
Loved the two Liberaces, it was stupid and fun. My uguly bitch did very well too and smart for choosing a queen very similar to her BUT on that note...
I do have to say, I am not a fan of making up characters (Lassie, Tasha Salad). I think it degrades the whole point of 'just do whatever' with an attitude.
So I’ve got this Monstera plant thats been with us for a while but recently got attacked by these tiny tiny black insects that keep eating the leaves. I’ve actively tried to get rid of them as well as screening this plant away from the rest, but the insects seem to always come back. I’ve just read that it’s possible to...
Are the insects very tiny (almost like very small grains of soil) and live on the under side of the leaf?
Those are tought mfs and you first need to isolate the plant.
I have a 50% winning record against them. I wash every leaf and the bark with a 'green soap' and water combination and paper towels. Once I even submerged the plant upside down in the same combination.

I'm currently wondering what their plans are for updating these LLMs.
Who wants to create the content to feed these machines without a recognition, retribution or a perceived act of 'good'? If I were to maintain a blog with a particular midly but important obscure topic, would I devote the time to have ChatGPT or Copilot make a summary?
Now, the LLMs need to ingest a lot more than 'one blog'... If someome knows, please let me know.
I doubt this crazy effort with such resource consumption is to create a snapshot of what the internet was in the 2020s.
Ru serves as always. All queens return. Miss congeniality/ies are crowned, Sasha Colby returns... What a show. What were your thoughts? Share them here!
I cackled, I clapped and I enjoyed all the lipsyncs.
Megami was my favorite competitor in this episode because she went in knowing the chances of winning were low but that she was going to give her best anyways. The simulation during the Shoop Shoop song will live in my brain rent free from now on.
I would not call a region with a capital city that was founded in the 16 hundreds isolated.
Colombia, and the region you refer to, is mostly mestizo, a mix of indigenous and Spanish descendents. Which makes me think we are differing in which way to take isolation.
Isolation from the Spanish during the period of la Gran Colombia is another head scratcher. What do you mean?
There are communities that were long isolated and so, preserved (Palenques and tribes in the Amazon are clear examples).
Is the culture from Antioquia different from the country? Partially, yes, as any region in a big, diverse country is. Were they isolated? I would say no.
