Four50 Grill in North Battleford has amazing burgers - and very filling, you won't need supper after these. The one across is their D'Wiesen burger is filled with saurkraut, swiss cheese, and sausage all on a toasted pretzel bun, with onion rings. The closer one is a spicy pickle burger with a side of Buffalo chicken poutine. It's very yummy, but your daily sodium intake will skyrocket haha.

TLDR: Searching for person holding professor position to officially act as a committee member on a US PhD defense

Hi all,

I'm in a non CS field. I'm doing PhD in hydrology and I'm good at Geospatial Analysis, data analysis, visualization, modeling and such. I really like programming and have been making open source programs, contributing to open source programs and such. And have been learning rust for last 2 years.

For my PhD dissertation I'm doing a project where I'll be using Rust to make a program with compiled plugin system that can do generalized river related tasks including data analysis and visualization. I have professors in GIS and hydrology to guide those aspects, but I don't have anyone on software side to ask questions, or to look at my work. I tried emailing some people I have seen with open source projects on GIS+rust, but no response.

I'm ideally looking for someone that holds a professor position for my committee who is good with either rust, GIS related algorithms development, and programming languages. However, it woud also be helpful to just have someone woth knowledge about such things. In either scenario, credit and authorship will be given.

I appreciate any response even telling where i could find someone matching the above description. :)

Edit: I can also provide my previous projects in GitHub, websites and such before you decide in messages.

Summary

Donald Trump narrowly won the 2024 presidential election, securing the smallest popular vote margin for a victor in modern U.S. history, with just 1.6% over Kamala Harris.

Despite his win, Democrats performed unexpectedly well in down-ballot races, flipping Senate seats in swing states Trump carried and maintaining the House balance.

Republicans lack a clear mandate as Trump’s plans for deportations, ending birthright citizenship, political retribution, and tariffs clash with voters’ hopes for economic relief.

There’s likely to be backlash as voters realize the gap between what they wanted and what Trump plans to deliver.

It's worth making whatever kind of submission you can manage for this. The page even specifically notes: "Due to the short timeframe of this inquiry, the committee would appreciate submissions being limited to 1-2 pages."

This bill will affect all users of social media in Australia, and may have a particularly negative effect on Fediverse platforms (like Lemmy and Mastodon) which are operated by individuals or small organisations that may not have the resources to implement age verification.

Premieres sometime in 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis for the original 1983 anime from AniList:

The three Kisugi sisters —Rui, Hitomi and Ai— during the day run a small cafe called "Cat's Eye". To discover the whereabouts of their father, the artist Michael Heintz, who has disappeared, Hitomi and her sisters rob art galleries as the smart and mysterious thief "Cat's Eye" in the hope that his works can give them clues about his vanishing. The crucial point is that Hitomi has a relationship with Toshi, a police inspector who has sworn to catch "Cat's Eye" —and of course he has no idea about Hitomi's double life.

Summary

A jury awarded $98 million to the family of Botham Jean, a Black man fatally shot in his home in 2018 by former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger.

The jury found Guyger acted with “malice” and awarded $60 million in punitive damages and $38 million in compensatory damages.

Guyger, who was off-duty and mistook Jean’s apartment for her own, was convicted of murder in 2019 and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Jean’s family called the verdict a message on racial bias and police accountability.

I'm trying to watch some DVDs on my laptop (tuxedo os w/ external optical drive) but VLC won't play the video, only the audio. It played the menu once but I couldn't replicate it. Pretty sure i've downloaded all of the necessary codecs. Y'all have any idea how to fix it?

Edit: just switched to the flatpak (system had the Ubuntu package by default) and it works but the options to use VLC directly from the devices menu in the system tray are now gone.
