I have no idea what the Angels are doing or what they are trying to do....

NBA history has been filled with incredible teams. When that happens, you are witnessing true greatness. Think about this for a second. I’m not even talking about the deep bench either, because that has basically never played this season. The entire unit hasn’t exactly blown doors to start the year. The Celts frontcourt depth was Al Horford and Luke Kornet. Dalano Banton got early first quarter minutes. Svi played 15 minutes after basically not playing all year....

Deepfake fraud attempts have increased by a whopping 31 times in 2023 a 3,000% increase year-on-year. Thats according to anew reportby Onfido, an ID verification unicorn based in London. The company attributes the surge to the growing availability of cheap and simple online tools and generativeAI. Face-swapping apps are the most common example.

And smoke coming from the chimney!! So, exercise is definitely agoodthing. But people come in all shapes and sizes and beauty is more than skin deep....
