China’s first aircraft carrier , Liaoning, celebrated its birthday by carrying in what appears to be a full load of 24 J-15 carrier -borne fighters on September 25 – the largest number of J-15 fighters ever publicly seen. This ‘Ьeаѕt mode’ might indicate China is rapidly gaining proficiency in carrier operations and can soon undertake high Sortie Generation Rates (SGR).

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Players Claim Mighty Pikachu Raid Is Impossible

It's Pokemon Day! A day on which many of you will be doing a number of things to mark the anniversary of the series. Perhaps you celebrated early by trying to beat the seven-star Pikachu raid added to Scarlet & Violet. If you tried and failed to beat the incredibly challenging new raid, you're not alone. In fact, some failed to defeat the Mighty Pikachu so many times, they labeled the new raid impossible. Equal parts frustrating and amusing since some complained even the toughest Scarlet & Violet raids were a little easy. Others assumed a Pikachu raid to celebrate Pokemon Day would be one geared for all. A nice easy raid to prepare us for the Pokemon Presents later today. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY RELATED: This Week In Pokemon: Anime Finale Teased, Pokemon Sleep Wakes Up, And More That the raid wasn't going to be easy became clear when its details started to do the rounds.

“Coffee with a Cop” in Cranston

The Cranston Police Department will host its “Coffee With A Cop” event on Saturday, March 4th. Cranston officers will be available from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. to chat over a cup of coffee at the Dunkin’ at Garden City. The informal event offers community members and Cranston police officers the opportunity to get to know each other over coffee and snacks and discuss the issues that are most important in the city. Coffee with A Cop was launched in Hawthorne, California in 2011 when officers from the Hawthorne Police Department were looking for ways to interact more successfully with the citizens they served each day. Community policing has long been considered a framework for establishing trust between the community and the police. However, over time the character and composition of our nation’s communities have changed due to shifting demographics, more commuters, and the introduction of different communication methods such as websites and social ...

TikTok suffers another blow with European Commission's ban

European Union's executive arm, the European Commission, has issued an order to ban the use of popular Chinese app TikTok on its staff's phones due to cybersecurity concerns. EU's move underscores the growing lobby against the social media app owned by ByteDance, the world's most valuable start-up, over concerns of its proximity to the Chinese government and hold over user data across the world. Here is a list of countries and entities that have implemented a partial or complete ban on TikTok: India Banned TikTok and dozens of other apps by Chinese developers on all devices in June 2020, claiming that they were potentially harmful to the country's security and integrity.

Man Reveals He Was Part of America’s Secret Time Travel – Project Pegasus Teleportation

Image
Andrew Basiago spoke about his experiences with time Travel devices that he has been working with since the 1980s. He spoke about how he went to the future and the past on several occasions, how he lived with Barack Obama on Mars, who was known as “Barry Soetoro ” in season. He spoke about it in great detail, going so far as to submit academic papers to the National Geographic Society in which he described the many Animals and aliens he encountered on Mars. National Geographic, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with him, unfortunately. He even talked about the top secret DARPA program from the 1970s, during which he apparently time Travel ed a million years into the past and how he got to the year 2045 in the future. He was the one who created Project Pegasus, as he claimed that during the Cold War this new project was funded to go back to Lincoln’s Gettysburg address where it would go directly to Lincoln’s assassination...

Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania's VFX Team Was Reportedly "Understaffed"

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania released in theatres a few days ago, and to say that people aren't impressed is an understatement. It's currently one of very few Marvel projects to have a "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many going so far as to call it one of the MCU's worst titles to date. There are plenty of different issues brought up across several reviews, though one recurring theme is that the film's CGI and visual effects are distracting and subpar. If you've kept up to date with Marvel and how it operates, you'll be aware that this is nothing new. Marvel has been criticised several times over the past few years for sloppy VFX, especially in projects like She-Hulk and Thor: Love & Thunder. Lots of VFX artists and technicians have spoken out anonymously several times to describe dismal working conditions and unrealistic deadlines, claiming that Marvel has far too much "bullying power" over VFX teams which are getting...

Russell Westbrook signs with Clippers: Former MVP lands back in L.A. after Lakers trade, per report

Former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he finalizes a buyout with the Utah Jazz, his agent told Adrian Wojnarowski. Westbrook was trade d from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Jazz as part of a three-team deal ahead of the trade deadline earlier this month. In 52 games for the Lakers this season, the majority of them off the bench, Westbrook averaged 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. But while his counting stats were still solid, his defense, inefficient shooting (41.7 percent from the field, 29.6 percent from 3-point land) and poor fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis were once again a problem for the Lakers. There was also the fact that James was publicly lobbying for the team to trade him, which did not help the vibes in the locker room.  But despite some of Westbrook's issues with the Lakers, and his declining play in recent years, the Clipp...

2023 NBA Dunk Contest: Ranking Mac McClung's near-perfect event, from tap-and-go slam to 540 walk-off

Mac McClung, the only G League player in History to even enter the dunk contest, let alone win it, put on a show for the ages on Saturday night in Salt Lake City, nailing all four of his attempts on the first try. That's one of the things that has killed this contest: Guys bricking a bunch of attempts before finally putting one down. McClung was perfect , joining Spud Webb as the only players in History 6-foot-2 or shorter to card three 50s in a single dunk contest.  Below, I'm going to rank McClung's four dunks, beginning at the end.  1. The walk-off McClung saved his best for last. Trey Murphy III was hanging around with some pretty impressive stuff of his own, but when McClung threw down this 540, as Draymond Green could be heard saying on the TNT broadcast, it was a wrap.  MCCLUNG SAID "IT'S OVER" 😮‍💨 pic.twitter.com/2J6DUeDXQY — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) Feb...

The Witcher Deepfake Shows How Liam Hemsworth Would Look As Geralt

The last few months of 2022 must have been a roller coaster for Henry Cavill, given everything that went down with Netflix's The Witcher and his role as Superman in the DC movies. First, the actor posted a video on Instagram, saying he would be returning as the Man of Steel, he then left The Witcher for reasons that are still not confirmed, and then it was learnt that he did not, in fact, have the Superman role in the bag. Fans loved the actor's portrayal of Geralt, which is why the announcement of Liam Hemsworth taking over from season four wasn't met with much enthusiasm. It's not as if anyone has anything against Hemsworth, it's just that many have a hard time picturing him as Geralt, especially after Cavill's portrayal. However, thanks to a deepfake video made by Matthew Anthony, a.k.a. Stryder HD, we have some idea of what Hemsworth would look like in Geralt's armour and the characteristic silver hair (thanks, Euro Game r). Their channel is dedica...

Top 5 Best Army Helicopters

Image
Helicopters are versatile machines that the Military has used for all sorts of purposes since their adoption. They are used for reconnaissance, direct combat, and transport among other tasks. Here are 5 of the best helicopters used by the Army over the years. UH-1 Bell The UH-1 is a great way to start off the list. It was one of the first helicopters used by militaries worldwide. There have been many variations of the UH-1. The two most notable would be the Huey and the Cobra. The Huey, officially designated as the UH-1 Iroquois, was heavily used by the US during the Vietnam wᴀʀ. Many films have featured these flying into battle with 70s rock anthems blaring over loud speakers. They assisted the Army with all sorts of the transport services during the wᴀʀ. The jungles of Vietnam made transport through what would previously have been considered traditional means quite difficult. The Huey was able to more easily, although no less dangerously, fly anywhere with enough ope...

Taylor Swift  was looking chic in a simple brown and black ensemble while taking a stroll on the streets of London after visiting the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Foundation on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. Her brown and black ensemble consisted of a Rick Owens jacket, a dress from ASOS with cat print, black leggings, matching patent leather Chanel oxfords with round toes, a huge brown umbrella, Skullcandy headphones, and a brown ‘Rugby’ pony hair saddle bag from Ralph Lauren.

76ers sign Dewayne Dedmon as additional center depth behind Joel Embiid, per report

The Philadelphia 76ers are signing Dewayne Dedmon, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Dedmon, a veteran big man who last played for the Miami Heat, was traded in a salary dump to the San Antonio Spurs before the deadline. The Spurs proceeded to waive Dedmon, allowing him to find a new team. Backup center has been an enormous problem for the 76ers for essentially Joel Embiid's entire career. This season, the 76ers are nearly 12 points worse per 100 possessions when he goes to the bench, and his rest minutes and missed games have played key components in playoff losses to the Raptors (2019), Hawks (2021) and Heat (2022). Philadelphia is hoping that Dedmon can help reverse those trends, but his play this season has been underwhelming. He played a career-low 11.7 minutes per Game for a Heat team that ultimately moved him without receiving value in return. At his peak he offered a valuable combination of...

Warriors filed complaint against Blazers alleging team 'withheld' information about Gary Payton II, per report

The Golden State Warriors have filed a complaint against the Portland Trail Blazers stemming from the proposed trade that would send Gary Payton II back to the Bay Area, per The Athletic's Shams Charania. It was reported Saturday night that Payton's physical after the trade revealed a core muscle injury that could keep him out for up to three months. The league is launching an investigation into the matter, and if the Trail Blazers are found to have misled the Warriors regarding Payton's health, they could be punished with a fine and or loss of draft picks, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The initial four-team trade, which was in place prior to the trade deadline on Feb. 9, also included sending James Wiseman to Detroit, Saddiq Bey going to Atlanta and Kevin Knox heading to the Trail Blazers along with five future second-round picks. Wojnarowski is report ing that the Warriors are working with the l...

Overwatch 2 Collaborations Won't "Replace" Existing Heroes Like Fortnite

Overwatch 2 is full of changes from the original, but none are more obvious than its willingness to hold crossover events. This week, the first-ever Overwatch collaboration was revealed, with multiple heroes set to receive skins based on One-Punch Man. However, according to a recent blog post, we shouldn't expect to see much more than Doomfist cosplaying Saitama. As explained by Game director Aaron Keller, Blizzard is determined to make sure that these crossover skins don't "replace" the Overwatch cast, ensuring that each character is still recognisable. This differs greatly from the approach that other live services take, with Fortnite letting players fight as everyone from Geralt to Ariana Grande. Related: Overwatch 2 Fans Discuss Features They Want Back After Enemy Endorsements Return "We're really excited for the One-Punch Man collaboration this season, but this is something that we've never done to this scale," says Kel...
