Answer by James Katz: The other day I was accidentally punched in the face playing pickup basketball in New York. The guy said, “My bad,” I walked it off, and took the ball out from the top of the key....

Some RTX 4080 models have already sold out at most retailers. This is expected to last for a week until the stock normalizes. There are 24 custom 4080 models to choose from, and some inventory is readily available. However, several gamers are considering buying the last-gen flagship, the RTX 3090 Ti, instead of the RTX 4080. The Ampere behemoth was initially launched at a hefty $1,999 price tag. However, Nvidia has discounted the GPU to around $1,249....

It’s a move that signifies Stephen Ross — whose tampering cost the Dolphins their own 2023 first-round pick — is hedging his bets on Tua Tagovailoa to lead a deep NFL playoff run. Considering that, it makes sense Miami would make a move to shore up its pass-rush, considering the team averages just 1.9 sacks per game. Chubb, the fifth overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, has 5 1/2 sacks on the season this year, providing an immediate upgrade on paper to the Dolphins’ pass rush....

Miami drove as deep as the Minnesota 26-yard line, setting the team up for at least a field goal possession. But a barrage of self-inflicted penalties — five in seven plays — kept Miami from scoring the first points of the day. Perhaps more impressively, the Dolphins racked up 143 yards of offense in a single drive without any points for their troubles. The kicker (literally): Miami ultimately punted from Minnesota’s 42-yard line for a touchback....

With just one trailer and very few design documents that are public (which are from the earliest stages of the game’s development), Nintendo may try to show at least one new trailer this year to satiate fans. Such a trailer, which would presumably be longer than the reveal trailer, would most likely show off hints of changes in the gameplay if it does not show live gameplay at all. Nintendo producer Eiji Aonuma once stated that he was inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2’s world building, so there might be some kind of subtle design connection between the two titles potentially reflected in a new trailer....

Using data from the Gaia mission, a team of researchers from the Max-Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, found that parts of the thick disk of our galaxy began forming 13 billion years ago. Not only is this 2 billion years earlier than previous estimates, but it means this region of our galaxy was forming just 800 million years after the Big Bang. The team reached its findings, discussed in a paper published in the journal Nature, by studying 250,000 stars that had reached the end of their main-sequence lifetimes....

Milwaukee had a great roster going into last season. Led by their All-Star duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, the Bucks also made moves to replace former point guard Eric Bledsoe with Jrue Holiday. The addition of Jrue Holiday would pay dividends going forward. Acquiring one of the best defensive point guards helped boost Milwaukee’s potential when paired with a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate in Giannis....

Somehow though, Final Fantasy usually manages to keep the quality of all of its content at a high level, to the point where some of their more memorable mini-games have developed fan bases to rival the games themselves. These mini-games are extremely diverse, and over the years have encompassed many activities such as Chocobo racing, playing cards, fishing, participating in tower-defense simulators, and even participating in aquatic sports. At their best, these mini-games can take up hours of players’ time, and become something of an obsession that goes some way to expanding the game’s lore....

In New Hampshire recently, shocked reporters at one stop were treated to a sit-down dinner of poached chicken and fresh asparagus instead of the usual cold sandwiches. After an evening event in Iowa, an aide poured red and white wine for reporters on the press bus. The veep is doing his part, too. He surprised a CNN correspondent with a box of chocolates for his birthday and handed out Tennessee Titans Super Bowl T shirts to the press pool traveling with him on Air Force Two....

Amid the city’s gleaming skyscrapers, international corporate headquarters and luxury hotels, millions of people have taken to the streets in defiance of the influence of mainland China. Hong Kong’s unique status—conferred during its 1997 handover from British to Chinese control—has long been a political flashpoint, whether latent in times of relative calm or explosive during periods of anti-government and pro-democracy dissent. The “one country, two systems” agreement afforded Hong Kong residents personal and political freedoms not enjoyed by their mainland compatriots....

Thanks.

When I deleted a Fence on one virtual desktop, it was deleted on all the others, and when I create a new one it is placed on the others as well. I disabled Fences, but I can’t stand how messy my desktop is without it. Also, any icons I delete or create on one desktop are deleted or created on the others as well. My desktop is more disorganized than ever....

So does anyone know if there is a way to prevent this or an option to turn it off?

Is there any way to get these back? That was a Yahoo Mail account.

Amidst these conditions, many users are considering last-gen flagships over the latest and greatest. Multiple high-end RTX 30 series and RX 6000 series models have dropped in price. The $1,599 RTX 3090 is trading for as low as $947 at major retailers. However, gamers should keep a few points in mind and make an informed decision before finalizing their GPU. By how much does the RTX 4080 pull ahead of the last-gen RTX 3090?...

How Do Brakes Work in Cars and Trucks? Advances in brake technology have been largely iterative rather than innovative over the years, like the transition from drum brakes to disc brakes. There have also been significant advances in the physical materials that brake pads are made of, which has resulted in friction materials that last longer, create less dust, and are less likely to make noise. Technologies like anti-lock brakes have also made brake technology safer, but the underlying principle of converting kinetic energy to heat has remained unchanged....

And the way that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot handles this change is slight, but to put it simply, the initial transformation in the anime was proceeded by broad sentiments. In the game, it is much more pointed and direct, almost as if Android 16 is directly telling Gohan to become a Super Saiyan 2. NOTE: This article contains MINOR SPOILERS for DBZ: Kakarot.
