Amid the fallout from PlayStation’s announcement that it will halt physical disc manufacturing in 2028, SEC filings reveal that Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki sold over half of his stock shortly after the news broke. Some fans have been vocally opposed to Sony stopping physical disc production, and they have canceled their PS Plus subscriptions in response and in hopes that the company listens. PlayStation’s announcement that it would go digital-only as of 2028 has sent shockwaves through the gaming industry. While digital sales account for the majority of games sold, there are still physical media enthusiasts who hold out for…
Healthcare workers on the frontlines of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have begun an unofficial strike. Those on strike say that they are working in poor conditions with inadequate safety equipment and low wages. As of today, an X post by BNO News reported that 1,729 Ebola cases and 582 deaths have occurred in the DRC and Uganda, where the Bundibugyo strain of the virus is spreading in an already chaotic region gripped by conflict and mass migration. Government officials in Ituri said the missing payments are because of the broader implications of the outbreak.…
Eat My Brains: The name of a legendary rock slab in the trail network of Rossland, British Columbia. It starts with a narrow, loose talus entrance into a 30-foot rock roll, down a naturally rusted gold-and-copper iron hat. Essentially, those minerals are embedded in a volcanic sedimentary ore that originally attracted prospectors to Monte Christo in the 1890s. As I entered the loose talus, the bike slightly lurched forward as the motor engaged in Turbo, making the technical entrance that much more difficult. I gently tapped the brakes and controlled the bike. I stabilized and composed myself as I rolled…
It’s amazing how many journalists still claim there’s no inherent bias in the media, while every publication of any community above a few thousand seems to have an anti-gun editorial board. I’m not talking about the odd op-ed, because those are the opinions of individuals that may or may not reflect the publication’s management’s views. The editorial board is a clearer representation of those views, though.The Las Vegas Sun’s board, for example, just published an editorial where they try to claim that President Trump’s focus on law and order rings hollow for them because he’s…

When it comes to RVs and travel trailers, there is arguably no name more recognizable and beloved than Airstream. While many of us dream of hooking up a brand-new double-axle Airstream to our vehicle and hitting the road, not everyone has the six-figure budget to buy one or the full-size truck to actually pull it. That’s why Airstream is introducing a new 17-foot version of its World Traveler single-axle travel trailer, the 17RB, which it announced on Thursday. The World Traveler model sits between Airstream’s Bambi and Caravel models and offers a classic Airstream experience in a more accessible, easy-to-tow,…

I’d really like to pretend that anti-gunners are just stupid all around. Some people are making it really easy to think that, granted, but some of them aren’t that dumb. They know what they’re doing. When the numbers don’t work like they want, they use others. Someone out there will give them something they can work with, after all. Most of the time, it’s sneaky, so most normies won’t realize what’s happening and will think the problem is worse than it is. Sometimes, it’s obvious.I’m sure the Violence Policy Center thought they were being clever…

Once upon a time, The Daily Kos was one of the premier blogs of the left. They’ve fallen off a great deal since their heyday, to say the least, but from time to time, I find some ridiculous takes on guns there. Often, it’s from non-staff members. One of the unique things about The Daily Kos is that it also provides a blogging platform for its community, where just about anyone can write whatever they want, and while I won’t say they won’t take stuff down, insane takes on gun rights aren’t exactly against their community standards. …

Between Baldur’s Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights, and Dragon Age, writer David Gaider has certainly had a storied career; however, his next project at Summerfall Studios may be a make-or-break moment for the studio if it can’t secure funding. Dragon Age itself has been put on the back burner by EA after the underwhelming release of The Veilguard in 2024, being the first game in the series written without Gaider. Founded by David Gaider and Liam Esler in 2017, Summerfall Studios has already released a couple of smaller projects. Gaider’s first game following his exit after releasing the now-defunct Anthem was…
The war between Russia and Ukraine fell through the cracks a little when the United States and Israel started a war with Iran back in February. However, Ukraine and Russia are still very much locked in a war, as Kiev used drones to strike a major Russian oil refinery overnight. Back in late June, Ukraine struck a Moscow refinery and caused “oil rain” to pour over the Russian capital of Moscow. Drone Strike on Moscow Refinery Causes “Oil Rain” in Russian Capital The Russian Defense Ministry added that Vladimir Zelensky, Ukraine’s ruler, ordered the attacks on the eve of the…
If you’re looking at buying a new, or even a used car, your bank account is likely in for a hit. The average price for a new car keeps climbing, and it’s clear that customers are having a harder and harder time affording them. That evidence comes in the form of loan terms that are getting longer year-by-year. You would think this would mean car dealers are on top of the world, and even though they may be, some are starting to get nervous about the way things are going.

After being attacked,…
To enlist in the military, you must take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test and get a good score. In the Army, career roles are represented by Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) or MOS’s. The ASVAB tests your knowledge of basic concepts and skills and produces two main types of scores. One determines what branch in the military you are eligible for (the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT), and the other determines the specific jobs you are qualified for, through line scores. The ASVAB provides you with several scores shown as percentiles: AFQT score Standardized Scores (Subtest Scores) Composite…

The Biden administration used his executive power–he didn’t, mind you, because he was trying to remember what a sock was instead–to change the rules governing how the ATF operates. While the administration couldn’t change actual laws passed by Congress, the legislative branch of government long ago ceded at least some of its authority to the executive branch in the form of regulatory authority. So, the ATF changed some rules, and now they’re changing back. That, of course, is good news for us. Not all of them are great, and not everyone is thrilled with what…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A tanker traveling off the coast of Oman in the Strait of Hormuz caught on fire early Tuesday morning after being struck by a projectile, the British military said. The attack was the latest targeting a vessel moving through the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, through which a fifth of all oil and natural gas traded once passed in peacetime. Iranian state television said the liquefied natural gas tanker came under attack after ignoring warnings but did not directly claim the assault. Tehran has repeatedly declared that only its approved route through the…
