New Trump 'Scandal' Drops, Press Freak Out Over Arlington National Cemetery Visit

The Pixel 9 is Google's biggest attack on the iPhone so far. Google is taking advantage of two Apple weaknesses that are immediately apparent. First, Apple Intelligence is late to the game, and it's not even going to be released next month. Apple's AI will come to the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pros via an iOS 18.1 update that will be available sometime down the road. More importantly, the overwhelming majority of iPhone models will not support Apple Intelligence. Unless you have an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, you can't use Apple's new iPhone AI unless you upgrade your older iPhone to a new iPhone 16 model. This creates the perfect storm, and Google thinks the Pixel 9 can exploit it. That's why the Pixel 9 was released ahead of schedule in August, with Android 15 not even getting a name-check at the launch event. Also, Google made sure all of its existing Gemini AI features were ready for the Pixel 9, including new image generation capabilities that turned out to be incredible in real-life testing. They're so good that I already think Google has a Pixel 9 AI problem to fix. And I really hope that Apple doesn't have the same problem with the iPhone 16 phones coming in September.

For years, everyone thought the young child found atop Cerro El Plomo had simply succumbed to the icy cold, drifting off into an eternal sleep. This child, who lived 560 years ago, was discovered in a naturally freeze-dried state and has since become one of Chile's most precious anthropological finds, from the important Inca Empire. A new ‘dermatological’ study, the first of its kind, has revealed, in fact, that the child likely died from head trauma as part of a ritual sacrifice, upending our understanding of the Capacocha ceremony. Not So Peaceful: A Blunt Force Sacrifice The child, approximately eight years old, was found in a peaceful position: arms wrapped around his knees, head resting gently on his right shoulder and arm, as if he had fallen asleep just that way. For decades, researchers believed that he was put to sleep by consuming corn chicha, an alcoholic drink, or perhaps some other intoxicating substance before being placed in his icy grave. However, the new study published in the journal JAAD Case Reports, has flipped this conclusion upside down. Read moreSection: NewsHistory & ArchaeologyHistoryAncient TraditionsRead Later

A Waffle House on the site of the first diner’s location in Decatur, Georgia, is in high demand all year round as people wait for as long as six months to get in. Interestingly, the spot does not serve food and is simply a recreation of the 1955-style restaurant. While there is nothing to it, those lucky to get in can have fun playing pretend as servers with their staffer’s hat or get served while they wait at the countertop and take in the ambiance. It is also an opportunity to listen to recordings from the establishment’s founders on how they built the restaurant chain. Waffle House rules Instagram The location runs at specific hours and receives only 20 people per day once a week. This explains the long line of people waiting their turns to get in on a lucky Wednesday. Although the diner replica is fully booked for private tours, there is an open house offering from September 7th to December for three hours each day.

This Waffle House is not just another attraction center, but also a glimpse into what getting breakfast was like in the ‘50s, complete with the vintage utensils, furniture and menu. Instagram Establishing Waffle House The Waffle House in Georgia was founded by Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner on Labor Day in 1955 and has since expanded to about 1,900 locations in 25 U.S. states. Rogers was more familiar with the kitchen business, and his goal was to blend speed and constant availability. Tom was into real estate, but he suggested the name for the outlet. Instagram The duo met when Tom sold a house in Avondale Estates to Rogers, who was working as a regional manager for the Toddle House chain at the time. They both kept their former jobs until they mutually resolved to focus on Waffle House full-time in 1960. They remained partners until their death in 2017, just two months apart.

Months after making her cancer diagnosis public, Nicole Eggert joined the TCA Summer 2024 Press tour in Pasadena, California, along with her co-stars from Baywatch. Joining her onstage were Traci Bingham, Carmen Electra, Billy Warlock, Jeremy Jackson, and David Chockachi as they promoted the new documentary After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun. It was a wholesome reunion, with Nicole looking unrecognizable since shaving her head in March and gaining over 25 pounds since discovering the disease. Although she was initially diagnosed with breast cancer, more tests during treatment revealed further underlying conditions. What happened to Nicole Eggert? The cast of “Baywatch” reunited on the beach to celebrate the premiere of “After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun,” premiering Wed, Aug 28 on @hulu. pic.twitter.com/jLnyIkx9LX — On The Red Carpet (@OnTheRedCarpet) August 27, 2024 After enduring some pain in her left breast last year, Nicole decided to do a mammogram, which uncovered stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer, which she recalled was a very rare form of the disease. The breast implants she got a 19 also delayed her realization as it was hard to detect lumps and changes during self-examination.
